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!

Isabella Dzidefo & Raymond Kwame

The first step in our cultural traditions for a union is asking the family of the bride for permission to marry. 

On December 20th, 2020, Raymond Kwame, the groom, will perform the knocking on the door of the Isabella Dzidefo's home and await entry. 

When the groom's knock is accepted, his delegation of family and friends, will presents gifts like spirits for pouring libation. 

The groom will announce his intentions and both families discuss the meaning of becoming one and give their blessing for the union. 

Celebrations begin after the bride also accepts the knocking and intentions, to begin the engagement period. 

The "knocking on the door" is performed and practiced as a sign of respect for the bride's family and cultural heritage. 

Thank you for blessing our union.
