We're off the Kakslauttenen in the Arctic for our honeymoon. Yes, I've no idea how I persuaded Kiran to go somewhere cold either. But the Northern Lights is one of those once in a lifetime things. And there will always be beaches.
Here are some awesome pictures of what we're off to see and do.
Well, you wouldn't be here unless you know us. We're Kiran and Jonathan.
After an amazing (almost) two years together, and an incredible culturally-blended wedding on the SS Great Britain in Bristol, we're off to celebrate our honeymoon. And all this weddinging means the honeymooning is somewhat dependent on others.
More wedding information is here.
So whilst there's absolutely no pressure to give us anything, if you'd like to join us (metaphorically speaking, I hope) on our trip, then here's the place to do so. We promise to keep each and every one of you updated. You'll have made our trip and our lives so special.
Well, instead of just asking for random money, we're going to show you exactly what you're helping us to do, so we can say thank you for - and photograph, and no doubt Instagram - every single moment.
I hear coffee's expensive in the Arctic. We'll be thinking of you whilst warming our hands. Thank you for helping us retain our fingers.

A beautiful lunch in Kakslauttanen. We'll need ten of these over the ten days. The finest that Northern Finland has to offer.

Snowmobile safari. Do NOT let Kiran near these things. You've seen her drive.

Spa day. Apparently, there are two of these. I can only assume this means Kiran wants to go twice.

Husky excursion. Yes, Kiran is afraid of dogs. But these are more like wolves, so it'll be OK.

A night in one of the famous glass igloos shown in the main picture. Just imagine us, lying there, wishing the lights would go out so we can sleep.

A night in one of the incredible log cabins, where we can actually turn off the lights and sleep.

Flights for us to get there. Without which I guess someone else will eat our lunches. And our dinners. And ride our husky and reindeer safaris. And stay in our log cabins. And our igloos. Yes, this one's important. We'll even take some selfies from the plane and annoy you with them when we land.

A totally unnecessary upgrade to a an igluite*, with an attached hot tub. One can dream. *Yes, I made this word up.
