Here We Go

Hello all,

I'm Tristen. I got engaged in September, spent about 30 seconds on the Knot and realized that stuff is not for me. I've been perusing Kathryn's lovely site, www.snippetandink.blogspot.com, as well as Meg's, www.apracticalwedding.com, and that is much more my speed. I wanted to find a way to join in this fabulous conversation, be inspired, and vent without annoying my nearest and dearest. I hope this blog helps me kinda sorta dip a toe into the level-headed world of happily ever after, and serves as a place for us all to ask questions, share ideas, and sob stories, too.

In a nutshell, I'm a small town girl, my darling E is a big city boy. We're both in grad school, living in the Bay Area, and trying to learn how to salsa. We come from pretty mixed backgrounds (He's Russian Jewish, I'm German/ Korean with a few scattered roots in the South) and have rowdy families. Soooo... here we go!
