Dearest Family & Friends,

We’re writing to you after returning from an impromptu road trip with Kait's Korean family. As we were driving through the desert on beautiful, long stretches from canyon to canyon, we finally had a little time to process a TON of emotions and reflect on the magical weekend we all just spent together.

We could not have imagined a more beautiful way to celebrate our marriage than with all of you in our neighborhood in Los Angeles. From the pizza party at Pitfire on Friday, to our wedding ceremony and party at Bacari on Saturday, to our brunch at the Loft on Sunday, everything felt magical, abundantly joyful, and we both feel like the luckiest people in the world to have had all of our favorite people from our lives in the same room together. We wanted to send our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you--whether you came from down the street, made a cross country trip, or flew across an entire ocean, we know that traveling is expensive and all of your time is precious, so we are so incredibly appreciative that you made the trip for us.

As we’ve been reflecting, we’ve both come to realize that the only challenging thing about such a momentous celebration is that there just isn’t enough time to properly catch up with every single person. We cherished all of the toasts, dancing, laughter, and mini catch ups that we shared with y’all, and to anyone that we didn’t get a chance to connect with so much, we look forward to catching up or seeing you again soon. And if we didn’t get to say goodbye - considering that we both did a classy Irish Exit from our own wedding party 🥸 --consider this a warm and open invitation to come back to LA any time to visit us.

We want to share a very special thank you to MJ, Mick, and Cindi for helping us host these events and for your unwavering support. None of this would have been possible without you.

Thank you also to our families--the Ziegler's, Penizotto's, and Germani's for supporting and loving us, and being such a foundational part of our special day. Thank you to our grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, godparents, cousins, and nieces and nephews for celebrating with us. A special thank you to Kait's Korean family who came to the states for the first time, and all the way from Seoul to celebrate with us. To our friends, comrades, and community who came from all over the country and world to be with us-- it means the WORLD to us. We love you all from the bottom of our hearts!

And to each and every one of you, thank you for your friendship and love. We have a special relationship with each of you, some three decades old and some more recent. We are so grateful for each of these relationships, and the commitment, love and trust that we’ve built, and look forward to growing together for many years to come.

For those who weren't able to physically make it to the wedding, we missed you all and had you there with us in both of our hearts.

Below, please find a couple of links for a shared photo album and our wedding playlist:

Lastly, we wanted to shout out a few people who helped make our wedding weekend so beautiful and meaningful:

Caleb & Ron - to our eloquent and handsome co-officiants - thank you so much for creating and leading a beautiful ceremony together.

Emma & Ron - thank you for, on such short notice, concocting the most beautiful floral creations.

Brandon & Cory - to the best party producers we know, thank you so much for creating such a beautiful space and event with us on Sunday, and for escorting the brides home on Saturday :)

Uncle Vic - thank you so much for working on Kait's piano piece, and helping us make it possible to use our song for our First Dance-- it was so special.

Kathy- thank you so much for being such an incredible interpreter and being there every step of the way with Kait's family from Korea. Your kindness, support, and talent were incredible.

Your attendance at our wedding means everything to us. If you would like to contribute something additional, we're saving up for a down payment for our first home.
