What are your music plans for your wedding day? I’m thinking a string quartet during the pre-ceremony and the ceremony, and then a DJ for the rest of the night.

I spoke with a DJ yesterday and was surprised to find out that it was a woman (slightly older). She had a great personality and a great voice, and her musical style is very flexible depending…

I came across Satya Jewelry in this month’s In Style magazine and I had to feature them because they have super cute jewelry and they’re based in New York!

Their line of yoga-inspired jewelry is a favorite among Hollywood celebs. But prices are also very reasonable - wonderful for bridesmaids gifts. (Their Sun and Moon necklace is often worn/given as a friendship necklace.)

Satya Jewelry was…

I received these Williams & Sonoma monogrammed mugs as a belated shower gift. Mr. Firefly oohhed-and-ahhed and immediately chilled one in the freezer and opened a beer. Eureka! Great groomsman gift! A set of 4 is $49.

We’ve talked about how much the size of your engagement ring matters on weddingbee before. It can be a touchy subject. Here Comes the Blog’s recent post about whether or not size matters got me thinking about the topic again so let’s do our first ever ring survey!

These were taken in the bridal suite while we were waiting for the guests to arrive. Remember the pink vintage flower pins I got? Well I pinned them on the back of their dresses and it looked so cute! I also got extra flower pins to stick on their basket.

(Bee, what can I say? Your Koosh ball was very popular that day. Josie and I…

I always regretted not taking engagement pictures. But after I saw Miss Ant’s engagement pictures with Tony Yang, I decided that I wanted to take “engagement pictures” even though Mr. Bee and I are already married.

Tony recently posted these cute pictures of Miss & Mr. Ant on his blog. He has lots of great engagement photos of different couples on there.

I really like Tony’s…

Rascal Flatts guitarist Joe Don Rooney married Playboy’s 2005 Playmate of the Year, Tiffany Fallon this weekend.

Several months earlier, Rooney designed the engagement ring, picked the 35 foot yacht, and the oceanfront resort at Cabo San Lucas - then proposed down on one knee during a 4 hour sunset cruise.

Last Wednesday, I had my first facial treatment at a well regarded spa in NYC. I was pretty excited about my appointment since they are famous for their deep-pore cleansing facial.

The experience started off very comfortably with a great face/ neck/ shoulder massage and steaming to open up my pores. But that’s where the comfort ended. The lady proceeded to perform some very painful “extractions,”…
