Santa Fe has a distinctive architectural style all its own. No other city in the country has so many adobe-style pueblo accommodations. We're excited to stay in the oldest capitol city of the United States founded in 1610! Now that's historic...

Santa Fe’s cuisine is a fusion of Native American, Spanish and Western influences - everything we love. Our tastebuds can't wait (but our diets can!).

Here's a sad fact: Chris has never had a professional massage before. And although he does his best to work the knots out of Christine's back, sometimes that job can only be accomplished by a professional. Ten Thousand Waves is a famous Japanese mineral hot springs and health spa, so if they can't get us newlyweds back to zen, then nothing will!

Santa Fe has some of the oldest and best art markets in the world, and summertime is prime outdoor market season. There are numerous paintings, photography, sculpture, glass, ceramics and other unique works of art available to purchase, which also supports local New Mexican artists. Plus, we'll acquire some beautiful memorabilia to fill our new home together. A win-win!

The newlyweds need some wheels and fuel to get around the majestic southwestern sites!

Thank you so much for your love and support during this special time in our lives! Family and friends mean so much to us, and we're blessed that you're helping us celebrate our big day.

Antelope Canyon is a breathtaking location for photographers and sightseers, and a source of tourism business for the Navajo Nation. It has been accessible by tour only since 1997, when the Navajo made it a Tribal Park. All visits are through one of several licensed tour operators, since it's not possible to visit the canyon independently. We may even check it out by kayak to beat the crowds, since word has definitely gotten out about its beauty!

Calm and relaxing is what we're going for during our honeymoon! New Mexico has several famous hot springs deemed sacred by Native Americans for thousands of years, including the only one in the world with four different sulfur-free mineral healing waters. Ahhh!

The Santa Fe Fiesta is the oldest, continuously held community event in the country and dates back to 1712. Native American, Spanish and Western traditions are incorporated during events that take up the entire week. The highlight of the fiesta is the burning of Zozobra, or "old man gloom," which is a huge paper marionette that symbolizes ridding oneself of the old and embracing the new - a very fitting tradition for newlyweds, we think! In addition, the week is filled with dance, music, art, parades, theater and food held throughout the historic downtown.
