Dan and I are back in Hartford this week, where it all began before life and work took us to Northampton, North Adams and eventually San Francisco. Our first date was at Koji, where we also spent Thanksgiving during the Blizzard o’ 2005. Sushi and cranberry cocktails, followed by a day of decking out Dan’s Capitol Ave brownstone with tinsel while listening to Otis Redding.
Subsequent Thanksgivings were spent around a bonfire in Paul Smith’s New York with the Leifheits (2006), in Paris with Dave and Mila (2007), and last year we were apart—I had just finished my cross-country move and spent UnThanksgiving on Alcatraz, followed by dinner with Dan’s uncle Jim in the Castro.
It is an Anderson family tradition that the best holidays are also the most unpredictable, but after three years of improvising I can’t wait to reunite with family and friends in all the old familiar places.
Hello friends and family. We’ve created this website and tumblog to provide you with information on our wedding, which will be Saturday, September 4, 2010, at the Headlands Center for the Arts in Sausalito, California.
Since many of you will be traveling from all over the country, we’ve included information on hotels, airports and public transportation, and fun things to do while you’re in the Bay Area. We love it here, and if this will be your first trip to San Francisco, we hope you’ll love it. (And, of course, we’ve got the requisite cute stuff, like photos, which we assume will only be of interest to our mothers.)
Check back every once in a while or just subscribe to the RSS feed in your favorite feed reader… we’ll post an update every time we add significant info to the site. We hope this will be a handy reference for you.
Thank you and we love you all very much and look forward to sharing our wedding day with you.
We’ve added lodging information to the website. We’re pointing people towards the downtown/Union Square area because that’s where the shuttle will be stopping (outside the Marriott Union Square, to be precise), but downtown is easy enough to get to, so stay wherever you want! Or check out Yelp! It’s a big city with lots of great neighborhoods.
And for our friends, we’ve reserved the entire Marin Headlands Hostel, which is on-site. If you’re interested, email Dan.
