We’ve added a handful of items to help us build our home, but what we’re most excited about, beyond celebrating with you in London this summer, is our honeymoon in East Africa. If you feel inclined, a contribution to our honeymoon fund would mean so much as we begin married life with a once-in-a-lifetime adventure together.

Mika’s mom and brother are big fans of cooking with an air fryer, and after seeing how versatile and easy it is, we’re excited to add one to our own kitchen. This large air fryer will be perfect for busy weeknights when we want to whip up something healthy, quick, and delicious with minimal cleanup. We know it’ll become a go-to tool in our cooking routine. Thank you for helping us make weeknight dinners a little easier!

John makes his coffee with a French press, and Mika uses a Nespresso machine, so we’re ready to meet in the middle with an upgrade that suits us both. This DeLonghi evo magnifica automatic coffee machine uses ground coffee beans (just how John likes it) and is user-friendly enough for Mika’s morning routine. It’s a perfect blend of quality, convenience, and daily joy. Thank you for helping us start our mornings with great coffee and an even better shared ritual!

We make pasta for dinner several times a week and would love to put Mika’s pasta-making skills (honed in Italy with her mom) to good use at home. This KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer will be the heart of that effort, helping us make fresh pasta from scratch rather than relying on our go-to shop, Pasta & Provisions in Charlotte. It’s a piece we know we’ll use often and treasure for years to come. Thank you for helping us bring a little more Italian flavor (and love) into our kitchen!
