“YOU ARE SO PRETTY AND YOUR RING IS GORGEOUS, BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN YOUR NAILS DONE BEFORE YOU TOOK A PICTURE OF YOUR HAND”

Someone left me this comment in my guestbook yesterday. It made me laugh out loud.

I pcked up my engagement ring yesterday. I really missed it! I had it resized so that it fits on my right hand. I can’t wear my wedding band and engagement ring together because they don’t fit together; my engagement ring is an antique and we purchased the two rings separately. My ring size on my left hand is a 31/4 but it’s a 4…

Mr. Bee told me a story about an engaged couple this past weekend. The bride-to-be knew that her extremely wealthy fiance wanted her to sign a prenuptial agreement before they tied the knot. She kept putting it off thinking that maybe she could put it off forever. On the day of the wedding, they were still fighting about the prenup - he refused to marry…

Mother’s Day is May 8th. To my mom, Mother’s Day is much more important than her own birthday so I never forget to get her a card and a gift and let her know that she’s appreciated. Mothers do so much after all!! Now that I’m married of course, I have 2 mothers to think about on this holiday so I went to Hallmark this…

I spent the weekend putting all our proofs in chronological order and separating the black and white pics from the color ones. The reason why I thought we had so many b&w photos was that there’s closer to 1300 than 1000 total pictures! Our photographer really took a lot of pics.

Then I put them in these leather albums I bought from Bed Bath and Beyond…

I went to AI Friedman near Union Square to buy a photo album this weekend. I’m putting together a couple of wedding albums for our parents and relatives and found the best selection of archival museum quality albums here. I didn’t find anything I loved at Kate’s Paperie. AI Friedman is an awesome store for art and photography presentation materials. Along 18th and 19th streets…

I picked up our proofs from our photographer and we looked over them at dinner last night. There are around 1000 of them (that’s a lot of proofs!). I am super duper picky when it comes to pictures - mostly because I’m horribly UNphotogenic. Yes ’tis sad and true. It’s not so much that I’m horribly unphotogenic, it’s that everyone tells me I look much…

Mr. Bee and I celebrated our one month anniversary dinner at the River Cafe. A beautiful and romantic restaurant in Brooklyn with a view of the Manhattan skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge. Married life is grand.

You can see the Manhattan Bridge in the back of the second pic.

The restaurant has tons of fresh flowers everywhere. It smells absolutely wonderful when you walk in.

Everything was delicious!…

This Sunday Mr. Bee and I went to Barnes and Noble to finish our thank you cards. Writing thank you cards is hard work!! I might even suggest inviting less guests so you have to write less thank you cards. Haha.

Mr. Bee says that now that he knows just how much work goes into having a wedding, he’s going to send a thank you note…
