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!

For a gift-giver who couldn’t come to your wedding

Therese & Johnny

We are getting married at Therese's parish which is of the Byzantine Catholic Church of the Ruthenian tradition, one of the many Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church. 

In the Eastern Catholic tradition, the priest leads the bride and groom down the aisle and then crowns the couple in marriage by placing crowns upon their heads, symbolizing:

- Crowns of Royalty; their royalty as the king and queen of their new kingdom, their domestic church
- Crowns of Martyrdom; their call to martyrdom, to give witness to God's love in their married life
- Crowns of Glory; their participation in the Divine Life through receiving this Holy Mystery and their call to be fully united to God in Heaven

Therese and John also wish to have the celebration of the Divine Liturgy (the equivalent to the Holy Mass) be a part of their wedding day.

The main celebrant of the Holy Mystery of Crowning and the Divine Liturgy will be Bishop Milan Lach, SJ.
