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 love Raleigh - From tasty craft beers to mouth-watering bites, get out and explore this great city with our top-rated spots!

Things To Do

One of our fav fried chicken spots ever! Try the chicken n waffles, Carolina Reaper or classic chicken sandwich, with a side of collards and mac 'n' cheese!

Beasley's Chicken + Honey

The best Laotian food outside of Laos, hands-down! Try the MEE KA TEE (Crispy Pork Belly Soup) and the fried rice!

Bida Manda Laotian Restaurant and Bar

Passionfruit margaritas and street tacos... need we say more?

Gonza Tacos y Tequila

Taproom and bottle shop with awesome NC and international selection. Sit on the patio and cool off from the hot hot Raleigh heat!

State of Beer

THE BIG CHEESY! Double-grilled pimento mac 'n' cheese stuff with BBQ pork, pickles and BBQ sauce. Don't forget your acid reflux pills and possibly portable defibrillator!

Brew N Que

When that Raleigh heat is slowin' you down, Sir Walter is there to pick you up. House roasted coffees, and tons of adventurous coffee cocktails!

Sir Walter Coffee

Great coffee and an equally great beer list!

Laid back brewery offering 8-beer flights for $15! Multiple locations in Raleigh, but this is our fav.

Trophy Brewing & Taproom

Largest craft beer selection in Raleigh, 3 floors of super awesome vibes!

Raleigh Beer Garden

A short ride from downtown Raleigh, you'll find Colin's favourite brewery in Raleigh. Known more for their IPAs and sours, but the "Latte Variant" Imperial Coffee Stout is a must!

Bond Brothers Beer Company

Dim sum, flower shop, and some of the best beer in the state - we actually haven't been, but it's on the absolute top of our list!

Brewery Bhavana

Crazy fun brewery with tons of games and live music!

Fullsteam Brewery

Sour beers aplenty in a cozy, cool, retro setting!

Durty Bull Brewing Company

Sleeker craft brewery with a great cocktail offering too!

Little City Brewing + Provisions Co.

Spain meets the South in this Durham area tapas bar! Bone marrow with pulled pork, fried chicken, octopus, and amazing cheeses. Have a glass of vermouth for us!

Mateo Bar de Tapas

Great iced coffee, southern snacks, and it's on the way to the Meadows from Raleigh!
