I had my last fitting today. The dress just needs to be steamed and I can pick it up later this week. I also brought my veil with me with my little comb and velcro strip that it came with to show Yulia at Kleinfeld’s. They told me not to use the velcro and she had their veil expert sew it onto the comb for…

Want a fun, different, and entertaining idea for wedding favors? What about hiring a caricaturist!

(image: nysketches)

There are tons of companies in New York that offer this service and they’re actually pretty affordable - about as much as you’d spend on favors anyway. Most require a 3 hour minimum and can do up to 15 sketches an hour!

Recently Mr. Bee had my engagement ring repaired because one of the small diamonds had come loose. The jeweler was kinda disgusted because my ring was FILTHY. I hadn’t cleaned it in at least 6 months!

I am sooo lazy when it comes to cleaning my rings. In fact I think I’ve cleaned my wedding band only once or twice in the past year. When I…

I secretly love Impression Bridal. They offer nothing that is not crazy. And their gowns even work miracles! From their press release about “Magic Fit”:

Magic Fit gowns have been engineered to reduce the wearers’ waist size by up to three inches while simultaneously increasing her bust measurement by the same. Other elements of magic fit are more subtle, decreasing the need for alterations and flattering…

I’m going to cut back on blogging till post wedding. I just have so much to do and not enough time. Mr. Ladybug told me today that he felt that the wedding was more important than him and when I looked at him I saw such sadness that it really broke my heart.

He can tell me that he’s pissed off at me or scream…

Mr. Bee and I had been living together for 6 months before we got married. Did things instantly change or feel different after we were married? Well it did take me awhile to get used to calling Mr. Bee “my husband.” But the biggest difference was how we brought our own ideas of what a husband or wife should be into the marriage.

I’m constantly…

I’ve been reading a lot more books about bridal stuff lately. I mean, now that I can. Prior to being engaged, I would feel guilty and embarrassed to look through the bridal section of magazines, books, etc. God forbid some stranger looks upon me and thinks “Oh, that poor little girl - she wants so badly to get engaged… how sad.”

Not that it would happen.…

Most guys like gadgets and lighters and James Bond. This stealthy zippo digital camera from Urban Outfitters combines the best of those worlds.

• works with Windows 98, M, 2000 and XP, Mac compatible too.
• holds up to 150 pictures at 640×480 pixels or 310 pictures at 320×240…

I had my first breakdown last Tuesday where I locked myself in the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and proceeded to cry. It felt damn good too. I can’t believe it took me this long to have a breakdown. I just felt like everything was crashing down on me. What broke me was Saeyoung Vu and my volunteer planner.

Yes a situation has come up. We…

- Dessy/After 6
