Our Journey Together


Dearest readers, it is not often that one witnesses such an extraordinary union of adventurous spirits. In the brief span of their courtship, this intrepid pair has graced ten countries with their presence—how splendidly cosmopolitan! Iceland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain, Great Britain, Canada, Uruguay, Mexico, Portugal, and France have each been privileged to host Roxanne and Charley’s splendid escapades.


Yet, dear Roxanne, never one to resist the allure of the unknown, embarked on solo voyages to Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary, while Charley, with his own thirst for discovery, ventured to South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe.


With such a dazzling array of adventures, one could hardly be surprised that this couple, so deeply intertwined with the world's wonders, chose to share their next grand voyage—marriage—abroad, accompanied by their dearest companions.


Travel Details


Ah, the journey to a grand celebration is almost as important as the event itself! For those fortunate enough to join us, your travels shall begin in the charming city of Lisbon, a mere 45-minute carriage ride (or rather, car ride) from the enchanting locale of Sintra, where the festivities await. To ensure one’s utmost convenience, we suggest renting a vehicle. Fret not, dear guests, for the roads of Portugal follow the same rules as those in the United States. However, a word to the wise—most rental chariots come equipped with manual transmission, so if your heart yearns for ease, do request an automatic carriage at once! While rental fees are quite agreeable, do beware of squeezing two adults and their equally grand wardrobes into a diminutive Fiat—it may require some creative packing, indeed.


For those arriving well in advance of the celebration, Lisbon beckons as the perfect place to linger. Sintra, while breathtaking, is a gem best admired over the course of just a few days. And though Portugal may be modest in size (akin to the state of Maine, for our American readers), it boasts treasures aplenty, should one wish to explore further afield.


We await the honor of your presence with eager anticipation, for this most joyous day will be made all the more splendid by your company!
