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!

Things To Do

The venue has much to offer, including an indoor/outdoor pool, movie theater, and gardens.

McMenamins Anderson School

Metier means “one’s calling,” and the calling of the folks at Washington's only Black-owned brewery is to brew damn good beer and build a stronger community to inspire bigger dreams for all.

Métier Brewing Company

We got our engagement photos taken here, at our favorite park. It has 230 acres of land with a dynamic assortment of plants, a gift shop in the Graham Visitors Center, and a Japanese Garden (with entrance fee).

Washington Park Arboretum

This iconic Seattle open-air market is a must-see! Shop for gifts, eat a crepe or piroshky, and then stroll along the waterfront.

Pike Place Market

Stephen works as a communication officer at this world-class zoo. His favorite are the snow leopards!

Woodland Park Zoo

Cats and coffee... need we say more? Make reservations in advance!

NEKO Cat Cafe Seattle

Handmade vegan ice cream with exotic flavors such as Salty Caramel Ash and Beet Strawberry Rose Sorbet.

Frankie & Jo's Capitol Hill

We love the delicious food from this vegan and Black-owned restaurant!

Plum Bistro

Stephen is a fan of the Chicago-style deep dish pizza and karaoke!

Windy City Pie

This is where we went on our first date! A wonderful bookstore and Seattle icon in the heart of Capitol Hill.

The Elliott Bay Book Company

If you're here for a few days, take the ferry from downtown Seattle to Brainbridge Island. The trip is only 30 minutes one way, and you can walk around downtown Bainbridge and see the local art galleries and restaurants.

Lunch on Bainbridge Island

We love to kayak from Alki Beach or on Lake Union. There are many places from which you can rent a kayak!
