Kata's uncle, who goes professionally by S.C. Rolf, is a wonderful potter. Kata and Paolo are hoping to get a few heirloom pieces from him to have for years to come. If you'd like to see examples of his work or pick one out yourself, you can visit https://scrolfpotter.com/. You can also find his work at the Grand Hand Gallery and Northern Clay Center.

Did you know that in 2025, Kata had to deal with bats in the house on three separate occasions while Paolo was out of town? One of those occasions included stepping on a live bat. This fund will help us remodel our attic and our upstairs bathroom to ensure a bat-free existence and add more space to our lovely home!

Kata and Paolo love displaying artwork made by friends and family in their home. It helps them feel connected to the people in their lives and fills the house with joy. While we can't add designated artwork to our registry, if you're an artist, we would love a piece from you to add to our home. The photo is a picture of Kata's grandmother, Arlene, working on a batik in her basement.

We love to experience music together when Paolo is not either performing or conducting onstage! We'd love to connect as newlyweds by going to concerts together.

Paolo and Kata are planning their honeymoon for the summer of 2027! This fund will go towards traveling to Hawaii and, if possible, Japan on the adventure of a lifetime.

Contribute to our fund to book massages after the wedding for some much-needed relaxation!

Kata started learning to sew in 2025, and it turns out an excellent ironing board is a great thing to improve your sewing experience! Plus, Paolo would love an ironing board so his concert attire is nice and presentable for the public.

We've joined the air fryer train, which we're convinced will dramatically up the quality of our meals. (Who knows if it actually will, but one can hope!)

Did you know Paolo is an incredible cook? And what better supply for an amazing cook than an excellent knife? This will help us make sure all Paolo's dicing and chopping is out of this world for years to come.

What better way to start the next chapter in our lives than with new plates and bowls? We have an assortment of thrifted and secondhand dishes, but they don't necessarily scream "we're a married couple in our 30's." If you want us to think of you while hosting and eating, this would be a lovely gift!

Life with a dog is MESSY. We make do with our vacuum, but imagine if we could deep-clean our own carpet and upholstery instead of washing things with our hose in the backyard! Wouldn't life be sweeter that way? We think so, too.

There aren't a ton of fun things to say about flatware that come to mind at the moment. We will say that we have arguments about the best way to load it into the dishwasher. Do you have opinions or facts that can help us settle this debate? Please let us know!

Listen. A cutting board that will last a lifetime? We're sold. End-grain cutting boards are more durable, keep knives sharper for longer, and they're more hygienic because you can't cut them as deeply as you can with a plastic board or a regular cutting board. This will help Paolo live out his chef dreams while Kata contentedly cheers him on.
