Hey, Erin,
I want to talk to you about two things, both of which are top secret.
First – Tiel and I are getting married Christmas Eve. We're having a party at our place, and the wedding is going to be a surprise. You have to be here. Tell me you can make it.
Second – I want to take Tiel somewhere totally unexpected for our honeymoon. It's my wedding gift to her but I'm not going to tell her until after the event. What do you recommend, world traveler?
Let me know.

Samuel.
I'm amused by your newfound interest in surprises. Surprise wedding, surprise honeymoon.
As far as destinations, no one expects to find themselves in the Chechen Republic.
As far as your nuptial event, my hands are full here in Iceland, with Bárðarbunga.

Erin,
I'm looking for a non-Chechen honeymoon, but thanks for that suggestion. What about Thailand? Or South Africa? I've thought about Chile, too.
And I'm serious about you getting your ass here for my wedding. What can I do to make that happen?
