I tried on my Vera dress again. Oh my gosh, it’s so beautiful! I really do adore this dress! When I put it on again, I couldn’t understand why I was having doubts about it.

Then it hit me. It didn’t satisfy all of my wedding dress fantasies. NO dress could satisfy all of them. I could easily imagine myself wearing a romantic poofy ballgown or…

Part 1
Part 2

Up until this point, everything was going perfectly and seemed like a dream. But it was now time to MEET THE PARENTS (dun, dun, dun - cue dramatic music).

My parents are both traditional and liberal (well for Korean parents). My dad speaks accentless English, has a masters degree in English, and is an English teacher so he’s not your typical Korean dad.…

Part 1

So we met in November. Mr. Bee flew to southern California to visit me the first week of December and we drove down to La Jolla/San Diego for 4 days. In retrospect it seems a little crazy that we went away for the weekend the second time we ever saw each other. But we’d been talking on the phone every day including a…

Can you have a wedding without a wedding party? No bridesmaids… no bestman… no matching dresses or rented tuxes?

Originally, Michael and I were going to have four attendants each. It was a very easy decision for me: my sister (matron of honor), my best friend for the past 20 years (maid of honor), my closest college friend and Michael’s sister. There were other friends who…

I had to post this up but, um, how cute is this? This screams FUN WEDDING!

I joined xanga in April of 2003 and little did I know that it was soon to become a part of my daily life. The site is very addictive if I do say so myself. In June of 2003, I posted about a serious problem I was having with my family businesses. I was stressed, overwhelmed, and just venting. Mr. Bee contacted me through an…

*Le sigh* I was planning on going to Kate’s Paperie last week to buy some paper for the envelopes I’m making for my save the date magnets but then the strike hit. Bastards. And I didn’t wanna walk cause it was too cold & I didn’t want to give the cab drivers 10 bucks cause I’m a cheap ass. So I’m gonna go today. Yay!

My…

Merry Christmas all… hope Santa brought you nice things.

We got back from a Southern Caribean cruise earlier today. So much fun! I have pictures to share, but in the meantime these are the shoes I bought for the wedding.

They’re a little “prettier” than what I was looking for (I wanted *hot*), but they’ll be perfect with the dress. I wore the shoes one night…

I definitely want to have something like this by the guest book/favor/place card table. It just sets such a romantic ambiance. I have plenty of tree branches in my mother’s backyard!

Sorry to be MIA… work has been all-encompassing.

I’ve been dealing with wedding issues:

• we’ve been looking for a rabbi (no luck yet!)
• planning the honeymoon (Italy - I’ll provide all the juicy details in another post)
• met with a couple of florists and I’ve decided on Antheia in Jersey City. Her bouquets are incredible.

I’ve been sending Angie (the owner) pictures of chuppahs I like. I’d love…

Cancun, Mexico - 2003
We are the king and queen of cheesy photos! Thanks for all the tips on the save the date magnets. I’m gonna go with the 2nd one.

I think I want to hire an acappella group to sing for 30 minutes or so during cocktail hour at the wedding. The cocktail “hour” will be an hour and a half so that Michael and I can take pictures. There will be tons to eat so the extra half hour will also mean less food to waste. But I think people need a bit…

I’m trying to make my own this week. What do you think of these?
