Dear friends and family,

Whether or not you are able to be with us in person to celebrate on August 13, we are grateful for your support, encouragement, well-wishes, and imparted wisdom. It is the greatest gift we could ask for. As we met later in life, our careers established, we are lucky to already have a home full of everything we need. No gifts are requested! (Doubly so if you are already making the trip to San Diego to be with us.)

If you would still like to give us a gift, we can suggest you join us in a wedding gift we decided to give ourselves: a handmade set of dishes and cups for our kitchen. As you may know, we met in a weekly pottery class. With the ceramic arts such a part of our story—and lacking a cohesive set of dishes, bowls, cups, and mugs—Kadee has reached out to her friend, ceramic artist Harry Levenstein (https://www.harrylevensteinpottery.com) to commission a set to fill our kitchen cupboards. We've given him complete artistic license to design what we need according to whatever inspires him, without any editing by us.

Thank you for being part of our story, too.

- Kadee & Karim
