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!

Barbie & Rob

Wedding

Bowling...of all things. We met while bowling for the SIUE Men's Bowling Club (since there was no ladies team), and eventually Barbie became the president of the bowling team and Rob was her right hand man. And now he's decided to forever be her right hand man, by placing a ring on her left hand.

How we met

Rob decided to make a special connection with the way he proposed and had it held in a place that was home to both of them...so of course it had to be at a bowling alley. He got down on one knee as she was throwing a ball, and as she turned around he popped the question right on the approach. Now we both get to live happily ever after...or is it bowling ever after?
