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!

We've spent a long time getting to know San Diego. Here are some of our favorite spots!

Things To Do

Some of the best adobada tacos that you'll find outside of Mexico. Get ready for a long wait, but goodness is it worth it!

Tacos El Gordo

Nika's go-to order: Surfin' Cali Burrito + Horchata
Christian's go-to order: Surf & Turf Burrito + Horchata

Do NOT miss out on the cilantro crema salsa!

Lucha Libre Taco Shop

The FRESHEST poke you will get in San Diego and the most delicious flavors too! There are a ton of other places to eat at Liberty Station, but this is our fave.

Hawaiian Fresh Seafood Liberty Station

Our go to for Mexican seafood -- get ready for HUGE portions.

Oscars Mexican Seafood

The quintessential burger joint in San Diego. Everything -- the burgers, the milkshakes, the onion rings -- is HUGE here. Another spot that is worth the wait!

Hodad's Ocean Beach

One of the best brunch spots in San Diego. Get the French Toast logs and/or the Maple Bacon donuts, you won't regret it!

Great Maple - Hillcrest

An amazing brunch spot with DANGEROUSLY strong mimosa flights.

Crushed

BIG portions and BIG flavor. Definitely a classic San Diego brunch spot!

Hash House A Go Go

A world-famous zoo that you should not miss the opportunity to visit (do it for the red pandas).

San Diego Zoo

An early afternoon at the Safari Park (they have platypuses) and then capping off the evening with a little trip to a nearby winery was our favorite weekend activity. 10/10 would recommend.

San Diego Zoo Safari Park

A small, but mighty aquarium with a stunning kelp forest tank.

Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography

Nika's favorite spot in San Diego. Fun fact: we had brunch from Great Maple on the cliffs the morning before we got engaged!

Sunset Cliffs

A great spot for a little hike and where we used to jog on the beach (when we tried to be runners lol).

Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve

You could easily spend a whole afternoon roaming around the various museums, gardens, and trails in this area. We love roaming around the (free) Timken Museum and the Botanical Gardens!

Balboa Park

This beach is about 2 miles from our old apartment. If you plan on taking a dip, make sure to do the stingray shuffle!

La Jolla Shores

Where the famous sea lions bask at the Children's pool. THEY are the locals -- don't be a jerk and disturb them!

La Jolla Cove

Where you'll see some of the best views of San Diego. Plus, there's a lighthouse!
