GoFundMe: Diez-Tran Wedding

Hi, everyone!

We are getting married in September and are excited to have family and friends join us on our special day. In planning this special celebration, we have tried to focus on what is most meaningful and important to us and our families, and wedding presents are not the top of our priority list -- in fact, presents are not on any of our lists.

We have all we need to keep us nourished, warm, and safe. We cherish the TIME with our loved ones, not the material things that you would typically find on a wedding registry.

Therefore, we decided not to create a gift registry, since we have accumulated far too much stuff and would not have space to accommodate more things.

We do, however, ask for your support to offset the costs of the wedding ceremony and the reception, as we celebrate our wedding at the Japanese Garden, and break bread together with our familial tribes (the Diez/Bush Clan and the Tran Clan) with a meal at Kemoll's (overlooking the St. Louis arch!).

GoFundMe requires a minimum of $5 for every donation, but please know that any amount will be significant to us, and will be gratefully received. We could never match the generosity that our loved ones have already poured out for us thus far, and we remain deeply grateful for the encouragement and support we continue to receive from everyone near and far.

We look forward to seeing our families and friends in September on this special day. Thank you so much for your love and support!

xoxo
Frank and Hoang-Anh

Reception Venue: Kemoll's Italian Restaurant




After researching and looking at 16 different venue options, we've finally selected the venue for our wedding reception: Kemoll's Italian Restaurant.

Kemoll's is an Italian restaurant nestled in the heart of downtown Saint Louis.

Our reception will be on the 40th floor of One Metropolitan Square. We chose to have cocktails at 6:00pm so that we can see the St. Louis arch during dusk. Seated dinner will be at 7:00pm, which will allow us to see the night lights and the arch in the night sky.

Kemoll's Italian Restaurant
One Metropolitan Square
211 North Broadway
