Thanks!

Thanks to everyone for coming to our wedding this weekend. We had a blast and hope you did, too.

We’re off to Palm Springs for the honeymoon road trip. We’ll post wedding photos when we return.

Lots of love,
Lex & Dan

The registry is up!

The registry is up!:

We’ve posted our registry over on the wedding site. We are registered at Crate & Barrel, but as we live in a very small studio apartment and can’t take on too much new “stuff,” we’ve also added a list of some of our favorite things which friends and family can donate to (via Paypal)—like groceries, our dream sofa, and our vacation fund. In return we’ll send you a photo of us enjoying that particular favorite thing.

Thanks again for your love and support as we plan our wedding. It means the world to us.

Updated lodging info

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 13:32:27 -0400

Updated lodging info:

We’ve updated the Lodging page of our wedding site with new info. Guests can now book directly into our wedding block at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis through this link, or you can call Mary Truffa at the Marquis and book through her (just make sure you say that you’re part of the Leifheit/McKinley Wedding Block). Her number is (415) 896-1600, ext. 8130.

For all of you who are staying longer than just Friday & Saturday (and are planning on staying at the Marquis), please contact Dan so he can make arrangements to get you the discounted rate for your whole stay.

Isn't It Romantic?

Last year, shortly after Dan moved to San Francisco, my cousin Gareth married his (now wife) Elizabeth back in New York. And Mike Farino made a video of the day, with music by Alexi Murdoch, that is so perfect and beautiful I had to share.

Lodging Update

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:30:08 -0500

Hey folks, due to popular demand, we’re looking into getting a hotel in San Francisco to offer a group rate for our wedding guests. We’re still hoping that the Marriott Union Square will work out, but please hold off on making any travel arrangements until we’ve reached an agreement. We should have it all figured out in a couple weeks.

Lots of love,
Lex & Dan

Hartbeat Holidays

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 14:03:00 -0500

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.

Welcome!

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.

Love,
Lex & Dan

Lodging

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 12:41:17 -0400

Lodging:

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.
