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!

Richie & Carolyn

A few of our favorite things to do and places to eat in Asheville.

Take in peak fall at Mt. Mitchell. Great hikes, nature walks, and vibes in general.

Mount Mitchell

All-you-can-play arcade featuring 75+ pinball machines & classic video games, plus beer & soda. We've never been, but it seems fun.

Asheville Pinball Museum

Off The Wagon Dueling Piano Bar Asheville

If you want a longer golf round, Chestnut Mountain is a great option. Joe Sr. and Richie played a round here and had a great time. Very scenic views and a good challenge. Good conditions for mountain golf.

Chestnut Mountain Golf Club

If you want a short round, this is a nice 9 hole course at the block hotel.

9 Hole Golf Course at Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts

Have a drink, play a round of golf, eat a luxurious meal, or just take in the historic hotel.

Omni Grove Park Inn Country Club

Delicious elevated southern cuisine. You will almost certainly see us there at some point -- a Holsenback family favorite!

Chestnut

The sister restaurant of Chestnut, and a favorite of both the Holsenbacks and the Obamas!

Corner Kitchen

Great North Carolina BBQ. Try the hogzilla if you've got time for an afternoon nap.

12 Bones Smokehouse

Genuinely the best donuts either of us have ever had. Made to order right in front of you with rotating gourmet flavors. We recommend getting at least one of each.

Hole Doughnuts

Great breakfast spot! Try the chicken & waffle sandwich.

Sunny Point Cafe

A beautiful property with delicious beer and a great restaurant. Minutes from the airport, so a great spot to convene after your arrival or before your departure flights.

Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.

Wicked Weed's sour beer brewery. Everything from the beer to the food is incredible.

The Funkatorium

Maybe the best espresso martinis in town?
