We're heading out really soon after the wedding straight to Italy!

We'll hike all day through the stunning Dolomites, arriving at cozy rifugios for a glass of wine with a view. Along the way, we’ll savor strudel, enjoy a hearty pasta dinner, and fuel up with breakfast before doing it all over again. These charming mountain huts offer the perfect mix of rustic comfort and alpine hospitality

In the middle of our backpacking trip, we'll stay here for two nights! This cozy A-frame cabin, nestled in nature, will be our perfect basecamp during our backpacking adventure to climb Passo Lazarago. Nothing says honeymoon like shared restrooms!!!

One of the highlights of our honeymoon will be tackling a via ferrata during the hike! Meaning "iron path" in Italian, via ferrata routes are equipped with metal cables, ladders, and bridges to help adventurers navigate the rugged cliffs and breathtaking mountain trails.It's Matt's idea but it seems safe enough for Kristin, just don’t tell Barbara. Honeymoon fund goes towards renting helmets and ropes :)

Don't worry, we've got relaxation covered! We know some of you might be thinking, "Are they going to take a break from all that adventure?" And our answer is, absolutely! We're indulging in the ultimate relaxation experience at a luxurious 5-star resort in Bellagio, Lake Como—a Travel & Leisure top pick. The best part? We won't have to choose between lounging on the beach or by the pool—our resort has both! Help us unwind in style by contributing to our stay.

Because we need to see George Clooney's house from the water....

After 60 miles of backpacking, nothing will sound better than getting on a bike and doing some more! As a mountain biker at heart, Matt is excited to trade in his rugged trails for a leisurely ride around Lake Como. This will be our first cycling adventure together, and we can't wait to explore the scenic routes and charming towns like Bellagio and Varenna side by side. Help us fuel our love for adventure by contributing to our bike rental experience.

For Matt, the most exciting part of our Italian honeymoon was always about sipping coffee on a picturesque plaza. And what better place to do that than at iconic spots like Caffè Florian in Venice? Help us brew unforgettable memories (and stay awake after our redeye!) by contributing to our honeymoon fund. Your support will make our Italian escapade truly magical!

We're excited to experience the magic of Venice together, and a romantic gondola ride is at the top of our list. For Matt, it's a close second to sipping coffee on a picturesque plaza. We'd love your help in making this special moment happen. Your contribution to our honeymoon fund would mean the world to us!

As we soak up the breathtaking views of Lake Como, nothing will be more refreshing than sipping on two Comocello spritz cocktails together. This limoncello-inspired delight is the perfect way to toast our love amidst the picturesque Italian scenery. Help us make this moment even more special by contributing to our cocktail experience. Your support will make our Italian honeymoon truly unforgettable!

Matt's coffee obsession knows no borders, and we can't think of a better way to start our new life together than sipping on some of the world's best brews at the "best Starbucks in the world"!

As we bid farewell to Italy, we want to savor every moment of our romantic getaway.
