For the last few weeks there’s been excitement in the air. Every day – every meal – every item checked off the “to do” list has been bringing us one step closer to this day. Anticipation has been the theme of nearly every moment. And you know what? It’s been pretty darn sweet. Sometimes dreaming about and planning for the destination can be almost as much fun as the journey itself. But today, those dreams will become a reality.

We left our cozy warm beds this morning at 4:00am to embark on an adventure that’s been in the works for a long, long time. Two planes, three trains and a taxi cab ride later and we’ll be feasting our eyes on the prize . . . the incomparable views of Amafli Coast of Italy. This trip is not just about celebrating our 10 year anniversary. It’s about celebrating the amazing path God has lead us down the past 10 years. It’s about looking back at the years we’ve been walking hand in hand and having no regrets. It’s about looking towards what’s ahead and knowing that we’re exactly where we’re meant to be in this moment – partners in business, life and most importantly, love.

In the next 17 days we’ll be exploring the dreamy coastal cities of Positano and the Isle of Capri, to the vine-filled Tuscan hills of Florence and Sienna, the elegant canals of Venice and last but not least, the regal streets of Rome. We couldn’t be more thrilled to be embarking of this journey side by side and exploring a new piece of this beautiful world.

We’ll be blogging lots of photos from our trip, including an adorable honeymoon session we are SO excited to capture during our time in Positano (YAY!) If you want to stay up to date on our journey and catch some highlights along the way, we’d love to have you tag along by following us on Instagram: @ryangotcher and @denisegotcher. We’ll be using #rditalylove for all our posts about the trip.

It is truly as they say, “Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.” Can’t wait to share all that’s ahead!
