Oregon Vineyard Diners

This is the third video from our JK Carriere Campaign.

A Message to Cait

This one is from Zak. I just got home from our rehearsal dinner at Edgefield. Cait looked amazing. She flitted from table to table talking and laughing with our dearest friends and family. There were toasts, some good beer, some good wine, some good food and the best people I know. The Ice Cream Buds were in full force.

I am sitting in our future house. Jay, Carson and Andrew are watching late night TV in the living room.

It is hot here in Oregon (which is so, so, rare).

Tomorrow, I get to become the luckiest guy when I marry Cait.

She is my best friend and I can’t wait to start our life together.

Tomorrow is the day.

BUNK

You may have caught wind that our wedding is a little less than traditional. Our parties are not wearing matching outfits,  there will be no cake & there will be no throwing of garters or bouquets. Zak & I decided to select the pieces of our wedding based on what we love, instead of what’s traditional. You have already seen examples of this in our dessert choices, now let me introduce you to BUNK.

Mr. Tommy Habetz, owner of Bunk on the central east side of PDX will coming out to prepare his sandwich creations for all. Tommy has been named one of the top 100 worlds most contemporary chefs & he makes a darn good sandwich!

So, come out to the field & expect to have the best pulled pork sandwich (with apple-cabbage slaw, mustard and pickles) Portland (or the universe) has to offer.

Oregon Pinot Peeps

This is the second video from Jay and I’s campaign for J.K. Carriere Wines.

Look forward to wonderful, J.K. Carriere wines at our wedding!!!!!!

PlateBowlCup

Zak & I scoured the web and all of the usual houseware shops for the perfect set of dishes. We wanted something white, simple, sturdy & modern yet classic. It seemed that every set we found had something about it that was not quite right. The bowl was too shallow, the mug was too dainty, the texture was off. Then we found Canoe! A lovely little shop in SW Portland where we found the perfect set of dishes and a bunch of other treasures too.

PlateBowlCup Dinnerware

British designer Jasper Morrison is internationally recognized for his quiet, thoughtful approach to product design for top shelf companies ranging from Cappellini to Flos to Samsung. This dinnerware design for Alessi continues in this direction with a sophisticated simplicity that is accomplished through a careful consideration of technical and formal details. Recalling restaurant and hotel china, constructed of white porcelain and made in Europe, the well-priced collection is intended for everyday enjoyment. Priced and sold in sets of four.

We loved so many other things in the shop we decided to register for other treasures as well. You can find our registry here.

The Wine Bear

Jay and I created a series of video spots for our friends over at J.K. Carriere Wines. Here is the first one….

Mmmm Dessert

without giving away too much I thought it might be fun to sneak in a few wedding details to look forward to! One of the first things Zak & I decided about the wedding is there will be no cake! Gasp… no cake! Instead we will be serving a flaky, sweet, delicious alternative. PIE. The lovely ladies at Pie Spot will be whipping up hundreds of delightful Apple and Berry confections. Stay tuned to hear about the a la mode options:)
