We realize how lucky we are, and we want our wedding to be an occasion to make others' lives better. Andy and Taya recently visited the Pastoral Centre Preschool and Creche in South Africa, where Taya has been involved for years. It is a safe, nurturing place that cares for the most vulnerable children in the surrounding community. For more about the creche: http://tayaweiss.com/ubuntu

Give us the gift of adventure together, something that both relaxes and strengthens us.

The classic for pourover coffee, especially combined with an electric kettle. Good morning, world!

Banana bread and cookies.

Candlelit baths and romantic lighting!

We are still exploring the city we live in, and look forward to getting to know it better together.

We want to try keeping some plants alive on our balcony!

Taya loves to roast a chicken, especially for friends and family. Now she can cook bigger birds and throw some veggies in there too.

A beautiful kitchen staple that we'll put to good use!

His and Hers! Keeping the dirty laundry off the floor leads to a happier marriage... so we're told!

A catalogue of date night movies...

Andy loves bananas! This might be the thing he wants most on the registry.

We both love to relax in a hot bath with a good book!

Shakespeare in the park or sunset on the beach...

Taya can't wait to have this for easier salad and greens prep!

One of the first things we cooked together was chicken soup with dumplings. We made a mess but this will help us next time...

We love our local farmer's market and want to start making our own juice with all the fresh ingredients we can. Come and enjoy some with us.

A unique set of hors d'oeuvre plates: pick one of your initials so you won't forget which is yours. We want to collect the whole alphabet!

Healthy meals ahead: Pressure-cooks stews, soups and meats hours faster than a traditional crock pot.

Aromatherapy!

Aromatherapy!

For snoozy naps on the couch in the winter...

Spring and summer couch napping calls for a cotton throw.

Since Andy surprised Taya with a proposal under the Eiffel Tower, Paris is forever special to us. We look forward to going back.

Say hello to feathery friends at a distance, or look for rhinos in the bush on our next African safari.

Lasagna, casseroles, deliciousness.
