Our Story
Love Story
20/Oct
First coffee after a rainstorm
A delayed tram, one shared umbrella, and a three-hour conversation that never really ended.
20/Jan
Mochi joins the family
A scruffy rescue pup who chose us at the shelter. She has since claimed the sofa, both of our hearts, and a seat at every dinner.
20/Nov
Hamburg, Chengdu and everything in between
Hotpot in Chengdu, the Elbe at sunset, night trains across Europe: we learned each other by visiting each other’s worlds.
20/May
A proposal on the water
Sunrise on a quiet boat, a handwritten notebook, and an easy yes before the city woke up.
With full hearts, we invite you to share in the story behind our day.
Ana
Chef from Chengdu, vinyl collector, and the reason every gathering slowly turns into dinner for twelve.

Getting There
Travel & Stay
Airports
From Schiphol to the city
The direct train to Amsterdam Centraal runs every few minutes and takes about twenty minutes door to door.
Public transit
Getting around locally
Trams are easiest for most routes, but bikes and short taxi rides work well for evening events.
Hotels & lodging
Stay near the canal belt
Pick a hotel around the Jordaan or Museumplein so every weekend stop stays within a short ride.

Good to Know
The practical details
Dress code
Cocktail attire. Amsterdam cobblestones are charming but uneven, so choose shoes that can handle a little walking.
Registry
Your trip to Amsterdam means everything. If you would like to give a gift, we are saving for a long honeymoon through Yunnan and Japan.
Weekend notes
Please arrive twenty minutes early for the ceremony. Boats leave soon after dinner, and a light layer will help once the sun drops.
