Thank you so much for the beautiful oak serving board! We can’t wait to use it during the many dinner parties you’ll be invited to this winter. Looking forward to celebrating with you at our wedding!

For a kitchen gift you received before your wedding

How did you know we were dreaming of those crystal champagne flutes?! They’re by far the most beautiful glasses in our home and we’ve never felt fancier. You’ll have to come over soon so we can toast to you! So excited to see you in June.

For drinkware you received before your wedding

We had a blast dancing the night away with you at our wedding. We also can’t thank you enough for the espresso maker. Our mornings have never been brighter! We can’t wait to see you in Austin next month… all caffeinated up!

For a coffee gift you received after your wedding

Where have you been hiding those killer dance moves? Thank you so much for rocking out at our wedding. And we absolutely love our new cast iron skillet and cookbook! We’re already cooking up a storm. Hope to see you soon in New York!

For cookware you received after your wedding

Thank you so much for the beer-brewing kit! We hope to be sipping backyard IPAs with you in no time. We missed you at the wedding, but know you were there in spirit. Can’t wait to see you when we’re back from our honeymoon!

Brianna & Alex

Brianna Ratkiewicz

While Kaitlin can't remember the first time she met Brianna (it was so long ago), she does remember the first time she truly felt like Brianna was her sister: when the trio was at a bar downtown one night and even though Alex forgot to tell Kaitlin he was leaving, Brianna made sure to come find her and let her know. They've been looking out for each other ever since!

The moment Eric knew Alex could be apart of the family was when he willingly signed up for an early morning hike to Empire Bluffs after a long night of euchre In Traverse City, to make Bri happy. Although on vacation and wanting to sleep in, he woke up early because we knew how much she loves to hike! I cant wait to finally have a brother in the family and excited for our future together.

We are not having a traditional wedding party, but these are my best friends who will be with me on my special day!
