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're excited to share a few of our favorite places in the area with you!

Officiant Mary's Official Gloucester Guidebook

In our opinion, the nicest beach on the North Shore!

Crane Beach

They may have invented the fried claim- and regardless, they have excellent fried clams and other seafood! Lara's favorite is scallops, clam chowder and lobster (often at the same time....).

Woodman's of Essex

Garret lived on this beach for a year during the Johnsons' move to Boxford. He was known around the neighborhood as the pudgy kid who went to the ice cream truck too much and never left the cooler full of food.

Long Beach

Take a cruise! It's a nice way to relax and see the marshes and beautiful views that made us choose this area for our wedding.

Essex River Cruises & Charters

Halibut Point is one of the nicest parks in the area, with a short hike down to rocks that jut out into the Atlantic Ocean.

Halibut Point State Park

Rocky Neck is one of the oldest art colonies in the U.S., where you can browse some incredible work by local artists. Neither Garret nor Lara is "gifted" artistically, but they still recommend you check out this beautiful part of Gloucester!
