Do you need a new set of luggage for your honeymoon? I’m actually in the market for a good garment bag myself because Mr. Bee and I have to travel to so many weddings.

Luggage Online offers free shipping on purchases over $125 ($10 shipping for purchases under $125) and free returns. Plus they offer a price guarantee on internet advertised prices.

This 5 piece Samsonite…

You guys know you can’t have all 3 you smart asses! At least write what you really want on the back of the card! Now I’m forced to call you and talk to you boobs! Why must you torture me so!

Guess what came in the mail?!!!

You have to see them in person. The photos don’t really do them any justice. They’re sooo cute! I ordered these from Pegeen. I love them and the woman I’ve been dealing with, Marge, is so prompt in getting back to you and helping you pick the right measurements.

Recently we’ve received a lot of emails from brides asking us how to find Knottie Bios. To tell you the truth, I could never figure it out either so I’ve never surfed any bios myself.

Our Knottie correspondent Miss Dragonfly tells us that she uses the magnificentbliss directory (where brides add their own bios) to begin searching. If you know the username of a specific bride,…

The wedding newsletters from About are very informative and cover many different wedding topics. Here’s the link to sign up.

Mr. Bee and I took pictures around the city in our wedding attire before our wedding. We were running way behind schedule, but were able to take pictures in 3 different locations: 1) behind the Ritz Carlton Battery Park, 2) City Hall, and 3) Brooklyn Bridge Park.

The pictures we took at Brooklyn Bridge Park with Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge in the background were…

Michael C. Fina will be featuring cake tasting (YUM!) from some of the top pastry chefs in the New York area. To read more details or to RSVP, click here.

Clienty, a New York based site, is supposed to be like ebay but for weddings. Brides post about products/services they need, and local vendors contact them with proposals. It’s all completely free to the bride and she’s not obligated to use any particular vendor’s services.

Clienty is a relatively new site so I don’t think there are that many vendors on there yet, but it…

I finally finished reading this last night (at 1am). Doug Gordon is a good writer - he definitely keeps your interest.

The book is divided into sections that deal with a specific portion of the wedding. This allows the reader (presumably an engaged groom) to skip around and find the chapters that are relevant to them. We all know what kind of attention span men…

Lots of wedding magazines like to feature “real weddings” … or at least their perfect details. Here’s what really goes on at a REAL wedding.

I remember one of my biggest fears was waking up on my wedding day with a big fat pimple because I tend to break out when I’m stressed out.

Most of you have probably heard about putting Visine on your pimples to make them appear less red. I read a great tip from make-up artist Mally Roncal in the summer 2006 issue of Modern Bride…

Wowsers. You have to read these articles about marriage by Leanne Bell. On the one hand she makes some outrageous and antiquated arguments, but on the other she presents a surprisingly enlightened view on topics like same sex marriages. Nonetheless the articles are well argued and an interesting read.

“Women who don’t take their husband’s surname after marriage are not sexually attracted to them and will…
