Our Honeymoon Wish

We have lived together for quite a while, with all our pots and pans,And as we don't need homely gifts, we've got another plan!We know it's not traditional, and not the way it's done,But rather than a wedding gift, we'd love a bit of fun!So if you'd like to give a gift, and send us on our way,A donation to our honeymoon would really make our day! Love, Colin and Savannah
