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!

Olivia & Jackson

Des Moines is where we were both born. Des Moines is also a super special place to us because this is where our first date was late summer in 2021. Below are some of our favorite places and things to do around the city!

A stroll through the farmers market is a great way to spend Saturday morning!

Des Moines' Downtown Farmers’ Market

The Iowa Taproom

This is Liv's favorite breakfast place in the entire world. There is a stunning view of the city from the restaurant. You might find the bride here on the morning of the wedding!!

Mullets Restaurant

Big Grove Brewery & Taproom

Jim's favorite dive bar in and also where Jim and Liv started out their very first date night.

The High Life Lounge

When Olivia worked at Blank Children's Hospital, she would come here weekly. This is the best lunch spot. You must get the fried brussels sprouts. To die for!!
