Shannon & Andrew

No honeymoon in Scotland would be complete without a sing along and a couple of pints at the pub with the locals. Cheers!

One honeymoon date we can't miss! A day tour of Ancient Rome! An exciting journey through history and its legends, stories and anecdotes. With our guide we will begin at the Colosseum and the Arch of Constantine, then take a leisurely stroll through the Roman Forum and the Imperial Fori to the Capitol Hill, ending up at the Pantheon, Hadrian's temple dedicated to all the pagan gods. What a great day!

With your wedding gift we'll enjoy an excursion to the bustling city of Naples, home to mouth-watering pizza, and then head off to Pompeii with well-preserved ancient ruins and Italian treasures. This will be an incredible experience!

After a romantic honeymoon dinner, we'll experience Rome by night! We will stroll to the unforgettable Trevi Fountain, then on to the Roman Pantheon built in 27 BC to sample the most praised ice cream in Italy. Next, we will have a nightcap at the Piazza Navona, considered the most beautiful square in Rome with its 3 Bernini fountains. We can't wait!

We plan to skip to Belgium for one day to taste their infamous beers and chocolate!!! Yummie!

Visiting south of Florence, we will stroll along the city's political heart flanked by the Palazzo Vecchio. Next, we will visit the town hall and the Uffizi Gallery, one of Italy's leading art galleries. We'll visit the church of the Santa Croce home to frescoes by Giotto and tombs of some of Florence's greatest men: Michelangelo, Machiavelli, Galileo and Rossini and no visit would be complete without a tour of the Gallery of the Academy with the original masterpiece David by Michelangelo!

It was said that the early Scottish king, Ebraucus, had 20 wives and 50 children.  It was obvious that  he needed something far more substantial that your regular run of the mill stone and mud hut.  Several bottles of whiskey and roughly 20 years later you have the great Castle Rock (Edinburgh Castle).  Historically, we would need an army to penetrate her mighty walls but money seems to work just as well.  Your gift will help us to see exactly how Bronze-ara royalty ruled the land!  

A gondola ride is the quintessence of romantic Venice! We will enjoy a soothing journey along the canals and be captivated by the glamour and elegance of this true Italian honeymoon experience. We'll be taken to a spectacular water front Venetian restaurant to be wined and dined in style. Simply heaven!

You can't visit Europe without indulging in some of their most delicious beer, wine and spirits.  After all, they've been making happy beverages long before Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue.  With your gift we'll enjoy a stein of suds on you!

We will take a romantic honeymoon drive along the breath-taking Amalfi coast to the hilltop town of Ravello, with a lovely Romanesque cathedral and the famous gardens of the Villa Rufalo, then on to picture perfect Sorrento to dine outdoors with spectacular views of the Italian Riviera and of course shopping!

With your wedding gift we will visit and see the natural and artistic beauty of the small medieval villages just outside Rome. Visiting Frascati, famous worldwide for its wine and sample the local product, viewing the scenery, the small villages and the wine there is so delicious! So much to see and enjoy on our honeymoon!

We will tour through the fertile and picturesque Tuscan countryside towards the historic university city of Pisa. Together, we'll take the panoramic drive along the Arno embankments, visit the Piazza dei Miracoli famous for the celebrated Leaning Tower, and unequalled masterpieces of Romanesque art carried out between the 11th and 12th centuries. This will be a great honeymoon day!

No honeymoon would be complete, without a meeting with the Mona Lisa at the medieval fortress palace of the kings of France. The Louvre Palace bears witness to more than 800 years of history and priceless art work.

First we'll tour the illuminated streets and sparkling monuments of Paris, then go cancan crazy at the legendary Moulin Rouge! Enjoying the glitz, the glamour, and high kicks as we watch the show with a glass or two of champagne. A "must do" honeymoon evening out!

We will visit the city of Rome on our honeymoon and experience the amazing history it has to offer. Admiring the architecture and soaking up the culture as we explore the city at our own pace, as we hop on and hop off an antique trolley car!

A visit to Scotland would not be complete without sampling a dram of the national drink and there is no better place to do this than a local distillery.

With your wedding gift we will explore three of Venice's most fascinating islands, Murano, Burano, and Torcello by boat. This romantic honeymoon guided tour takes us to Murano's ancient glass-making factories, Burano's centuries-old lace-making houses and Torcello's Byzantine churches.

On this tour to the Palace of Versailles, we'll immerse ourselves in the pomp and splendour of France's royal history. We'll explore the glittering Hall of Mirrors and the Royal Apartments. Enjoying a mouthwatering lunch, served in a picturesque restaurant at Antoinette's hamlet overlooking the Grand Canal. A honeymoon must!

On our walking tour we'll visit St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums, and the Sistine Chapel. The Vatican is one of the most interesting and breathtakingly beautiful sites in the world, with some very interesting stories, and our personal guide has all the scoop!

After a long day of sight-seeing in the beautiful city of Paris what better way to end the day than a night in a luxurious honeymoon suite.  With your help we will pamper ourselves like French royalty!! Ooo La la!!

Not to be outdone by the French, Italy boasts some of the finest art, food, architecture and music in all of Europe.  Such bold claims must be investigated by cultural experts.  We have volunteered  for the job!!  This gift will help us to find suitable shelter to rest our weary heads after a long day of hard work!  

What could be better than knowing we'll have breakfast to enjoy between the sheets? We'll order eggs florentine, cinnamon rolls, freshly squeezed orange juice and hot coffee which all seem to taste better served to us in bed!

Whats a trip to Scotland without a Fish and Chips? We plan to enjoy this local meal as the scots do! Wrapped in newspaper!

We will have to choose from all the local Italian restaurants in town to reserve the perfect table in the most romantic setting. We will tantalize our taste buds with homemade pasta, Panini, fresh Seafood, select an Italian vino and enjoy the best dessert ever, ending with a cup of cappuccino. Now that's amore!

With your wedding gift we will travel around Paris on a guided River Seine Cruise that take us past all the major landmarks. Then we'll linger over a stylish lunch at the Eiffel Tower as we take in the sweeping views of our very romantic honeymoon destination.

We look forward to reserving an intimate candlelit dinner. We'll choose a quiet restaurant with a warm atmosphere, outstanding cuisine and impeccable service.

We look forward to this honeymoon evening of live entertainment, refined cuisine, and outstanding service in a truly unique setting. Soaking up the sights and relaxing in an intimate atmosphere as the talented musicians perform classic songs inspired by the unforgettable backdrop of Paris. How Romantic!

We would love to shop around for our favorite piece of art as a cherished keepsake from our once in a lifetime trip. This gift will adorn our home for many years to come!

We will visit all the trendy stores on the main street in the heart of the busy city, checking out the classically elegant European clothes in all the boutiques. We'll shop until we drop!

At what point in driving from Scotland to France do you switch from driving on the left side of the road to the right?  Should you get a left or a right side drive car?  We don't know the answer to these questions either so we decided that flying is the best way to go.  Of course we will miss the exciting 31 mile sub ocean drive..Oh well, maybe next time!  

We plan to fly from Paris, France to Venice Italy. This gift will help us start our 11 day Italian adventure. 

We will be traveling by train throughout Italy. This generous contribution will allow us to travel sit back an relax while we travel to and from our italian destinations.

Any help to get to and from Scotland is a wonderful gift. We plan to stay in Linlithgow, Scotland with Shannon's family before heading off to France and Italy! 

We'll need a spa day just to ourselves! We will sit back, relax and indulge in a rejuvenating and revitalizing spa treatment or massage to help soothe our tense muscles and to help us get back in the groove.

We'll toast to our lives together as we uncork the effervescence of a bottle of champagne. Cheers!
