Nothing in the world is better than a good book, a fruity drink, and a beautiful view of the beach — who doesn’t LOVE vacations after all? Especially when it’s with your significant other!

Continued legalization of Same-Sex marriage within the United States and worldwide will boost the travel and hospitality industries all around the globe.

All we can say is — YAYYY!!!! (Pssst… check our Materials Page for travel-friendly Ketubahs!)
And I just thought of something better than vacation… a vacation to celebrate life, equality, and love. :)
