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!

Girard

Leah & Russell

We've assembled a truly spectacular group of weirdos to accompany us on our journey down the aisle. Please enjoy these completely unserious introductions to some of the most important people in our lives. We love you all so much!

A friendship forged in the fires of Sandhills Publishing. Whitney and Leah are never NOT having 3-5 concurrent conversations across different platforms.

Whitney Lake

A doctor who knows how to rock a speedo. If you can get him to belly laugh, you'll feel like you just won the lottery because it's the best.

BJ Bumgarner

The definition of ride-or-die, Ashlie and Leah have been friends since their humble college beginnings and will probably grow old together. (Sorry, Russell and Kyle.)

Ashlie Thompson

No subject is too taboo, and no drink is too strong. Josh is a great dad, a great paramedic, and an even better friend who is guaranteed to make you laugh.

Josh Kendrick

The girl you call when you need things done right, or when you need to be reminded that it's OK to be a person. (Just please don't call her bossy.)

Sarah Wischhof

A friendship that began in grade school and blossomed to true ride-or-die status. Alroy is the man with a plan and can always find a way to solve any problem.

Alroy Madsen

Everyone's favorite spicy Italian, Nancy has a big heart and will always go to the mat for the people she loves. GABAGOOL!

Nancy Petitto

Don't be surprised if you don't understand any of their in-jokes — Russell and Scott have been friends so long, they basically have their own language.

Scott Harvey

A diehard romantic, eternal optimist — and one of the best huggers you'll ever meet.

Kelsey Harpster

A Texas import, here to bless us with his presence and his knowledge of exceptional whiskey.

Jonathan Drexel

There is nothing this tiny powerhouse can't do! She's here to do #BriThings and keep Leah sane.

Bri Prai

Leah's brother and noted weirdo. Don't be surprised if he shows up wearing a David Byrne suit.

Alex Houchin

A friendship that started with an online book club over a decade ago (APW OGs for life!) and now spans several states. Nicole will be blessing the ceremony with a beautiful reading, and her delightful presence.
