We can talk your ear off about why using our longtime sponsor Traveler's Joy as your honeymoon registry is a kick-ass idea. Indeed, we have... several times. But we thought this time we should actually hear from a real couple who used Traveler's Joy for their registry.

Allow Christen and Jason to school us all on how to flawlessly use Traveler's Joy to register for the most amazing honeymoon in Peru...

"Your honeymoon destination is cold?" someone asked in shock as we prepared for our trip. In place of sunscreen and swimsuits, we filled our new backpacks with waffle-print thermals; carb-packed Cliff bars; and the thickest socks we could find. (We even included some of this gear on our Traveler's Joy registry page!) "Yup, it'll be cold," we'd say. And was it ever, especially on the nights we slept in our own private outdoor mountain tent for two.

Sure, the Andes Mountains are cold, but other words we'd use to describe them are massive, still, quiet, sacred, colorful, and, of course, romantic - even though we couldn't shower for four out of our seven days there. We didn't care.

With our private guide, local chef, and three donkeys who held our camping and cooking supplies, we hiked for days straight as close to the open sky as we'd ever come; we reveled in the calm stillness that came with no commercial frills: no running water, no phones, no electricity, no heat, and no seating charts; we were finally free of wedding planning!

Everything [on our Traveler's Joy registry] worked out perfectly according to plan and even better at times. In Cuzco, we visited museums, sampled chifa (a well known Peruvian-Chinese food), and walked endless street markets littered with fluttering chickens, baked goods, cilantro, and bright red rambutan, a "hairy" fruit that curiously resembles a tiny Muppet. We also visited several nearby Incan ruins on horseback, a wedding gift from our generous friends and family who understand our love of travel, South America, and each other.

That so many of our guests chose to gift us experiences from our Traveler's Joy registry evidences just how much they know, love, and understand us. Needless to say, when it comes to the registry, we wholeheartedly support Traveler's Joy's suggestion to "skip the blender." We're sure glad we did.

If you want to "skip the blender" and register for a once-in-a-lifetime trip, like this Peruvian honeymoon situation, do yourself a favor and head over to Traveler's Joy. First read the rest of Christen and Jason's epic honeymoon story. Then check out their Traveler's Joy registry for a great example of how you can make this trip happen for yourselves.

Finally, set up your own registry with Traveler's Joy and have the most amazing time on your honeymoon!
