Contribute to our week-long Oktoberfest Honeymoon at Posthotel Leavenworth—the place we got engaged! Nothing compares to this all-inclusive hydrotherapy haven where we can indulge our shared love and appreciation of heat, steam, and water while surrounded by the Cascade mountains in a gorgeous faux Germany. With flying feeling a bit scary right now for several reasons, a honeymoon that feels far away while only being a few hours away from home by car is exactly what we need!

Help us celebrate! This fund supports the many pieces that go into bringing our wedding weekend to life—our photographer, DJ, caterers, florist, venue, décor, attire, and more. We want our family and friends (all of you!) to share in a celebration that feels truly beautiful, memorable, one-of-a-kind, and full of joy. Your generosity, paired with your presence, can really help make that possible, and knowing you’ve had a hand in creating those memories with us will mean the world to us.

Life has a way of throwing curveballs. Whether it’s a car repair, a medical bill, or even a sick pup, unexpected expenses are part of life—and we’ve had our share in recent years. Your gift helps us build our emergency savings, giving us the peace of mind and financial confidence to handle whatever comes our way.

We LOVE music—and especially experiencing it live together. From regular reggae nights at the Airport Tavern in our hometown of Tacoma to the occasional bigger shows in Seattle, live music is one of our favorite ways to connect and celebrate life. Your gift helps cover concert tickets and ensures we can keep sharing these unforgettable moments together.

It’s no secret—we LOVE meal prepping and creating memorable, delicious meals at home (especially Bianca, though Rapha’s got some solid chops too--pun intended!). To keep up with the pace of our kitchen, we’re ready to invest in a high-quality new set of knives. We haven’t picked the brand or series yet, so we’re open to suggestions—and we’re deeply grateful for any generosity toward this essential upgrade for our cooking adventures.

Groceries are one of our biggest investments—about $900-1,200 each month—and healthy eating isn’t cheap! We prioritize organic, whole foods and take pride in nourishing ourselves and our family with care. They say “you are what you eat,” and we truly believe and live by that. Your gift directly supports our grocery budget, helping us stay healthy and fueled in these first months as newlyweds.

We both share a deep love of learning and music. Your gift will help us keep expanding our library of books and records—filling our home with stories, wisdom, and melodies that inspire us for years to come.

We’re always dreaming up our next adventure—whether it’s a big family vacation or a quick couple’s getaway to a nearby city. Airbnb is our go-to for making those trips special, and your gift helps bring our next stay to life, creating memories we’ll cherish together.

Food is one of our favorite love languages. Sometimes it’s an Uber Eats order on the couch with a great movie, and other times it’s getting dressed up for a candlelit dinner out on the town. We love cooking at home, but every now and then, a break makes the meal even sweeter. Your gift helps fuel our cozy Netflix-and-chill nights and our romantic date-night adventures.*Also see Uber Eats gift card option

Costco may be our mainstay, but Target is our trusty catch-all for everything Costco can’t cover—household odds and ends, clothes and supplies for Zeek, and those last-minute “How did we forget that?” items. With a store just seven minutes away, gift cards go a long way toward keeping life running smoothly (and maybe adding a little fun to the cart, too). Plus, Zeek loves going there, too :-)

Yes, we’re both suckers for a great mani-pedi—and yes, both of us are getting one before the big day! Want to be the reason our hands and feet look and feel fabulous? Your gift will pamper us with polish, care, and a little much-needed pre-wedding sparkle and bliss.

As some of you know, we’ve built a pretty stellar home gym in our garage—and it’s one of our favorite shared passions. We’re always making upgrades to keep it fresh and functional, with a current wish list that includes kettlebells, medicine balls, plate weights for our barbells, a rowing machine, and a proper water chiller for our cold plunge pool. Your gift is an investment in our health, longevity, and the joy we find in moving and growing stronger together.

Who doesn’t love Bass Pro Shops? Whether we’re gearing up for emergency preparedness, braving Pacific Northwest weather, planning an outdoor adventure, or admiring the craftsmanship of a beautiful firearm, it’s the go-to spot. Your gift supports our next investments in adventure and readiness.

Nala and Stella are truly our babies, and they deserve to be spoiled all year long. Your gift helps us stock up on treats, toys, and everyday necessities that keep them happy, cozy, and loved—just the way they should be.

As Zeek grows (and his attention span keeps up!), we’re excited to share with him more often the magic of seeing movies on the big screen. This gift goes directly toward theater tickets, giving us the chance to share those larger-than-life adventures together as a family.

We definitely love our cozy Uber Eats nights on the couch. This gift fuels those once-in-a-while indulgences—especially clutch when ordering for the whole family. It’s a simple way to treat us to comfort, convenience, and a little extra joy at home.
