Weddingbee

CD’s are a popular wedding favor, and increasingly nontraditional save the date and invitation. Cleartray offers beautiful and affordable CD’s, DVD’s, and packaging that you can customize with your own design.

Here are some wedding themed examples:

They offer the option of buying just the sleeves or the cd’s/dvd’s. What a fabulous presentation your friends and family are sure to love.

I have a friend who fights with her husband all the time. But they always make up and then they’re closer than ever. I have another friend who’s never been in a single fight with her significant other of many years. So this got me wondering, what’s better (or worse) - fighting too much or fighting too little?

I am the said second person with the SUPER MEAN comments. I’m sorry they were hurtful and I’ll be more sensitive in the future. I actually noticed the post was taken down and felt badly about that. My response was vehement because I felt the tone of your post did not seem to be fully aware of how all this may come off sounding - it seemed like you were flaunting what you were doing, despite acknowledging it wasn’t entirely “proper” (the Emily or Peggy Post comment). Now I know that’s now how it was meant at all.

Please accept my apologies. And I’m sorry my carelessly mean post will prevent you from posting about these issues in the future. I’ll keep a tighter rein on my comments from now on and only post when positive.

Oh, and to your supportive fans (and I’m very much a fan actually - probably why I responded so strongly - I especially love when you, Miss Spider, post inspirational pictures as you have wonderful taste), like I said, I didn’t intend to be mean. I only wish I saw this post earlier to apologize sooner, because looking at some of these posts (OUCH), you guys can be pretty mean, too. So, I hope we have peace and forgiveness?

It takes a lot of guts to own up to posting that intial comment, I give this girl props for coming forward and for apologizing. I also give props to my supporters who came on strong to show that the weddingbee community has zero tolerance for antagonists. That being said, since the above poster is also a part of the weddingbee community I think we should all accept her apology and move on.

Numb3rs star Diane Farr wed marketing executive Seung Chung in Mammoth Lakes, California last Saturday. She had a traditional Korean ceremony followed by a barbecue on the 23rd, and another American ceremony the next day. The couple plans to honeymoon in Korea and the Maldives.

Having honed my shopping craft to some degree at a recent trip to the outlets, I proceeded to drag Mr. Daisy to start the wedding band search (we’re talking finger-wear here, not ear candy). At the suggestion of wedding planners Farrell and Jennifer, Mr. Daisy and I headed to Fragments in Soho on a very rainy Saturday.

In the past, we had great success at Fragments, but we didn’t plan on buying on this particular occasion. The trip was more of a reconnaissance mission. There weren’t a ton of men’s rings, but there were a couple of contenders. I wasn’t allowed to bring my camera with me (cough–strict Mr. D–cough) but we especially liked a few brushed platinum bands, with some tooling/indented lines and also plain.

Then yesterday, taking full advantage of my new part-time schedule, I headed to the Fifth Avenue shops to explore more ring options. At Tiffany, I found some classic options:

plain platinum 4.5mm Lucida band

with milgraining

Somehow, in my quest to find Mr. Daisy a ring, I managed to find a band contender for myself as well:

the Tiffany Legacy ring

Aren’t I efficient? I kind of love that band for me but, at the same time, my engagement ring has detailing on the sides:

So I wonder if it’s a lame idea to block those details with a band that has plain, unblingy sides. I also suppose I could have the place that created the e-ring design a band of the same style, that would incorporate the e-ring band details, sans stone basket. Mr. Daisy thinks I should just switch my e-ring to my right hand once we’re wed, but I kind of like the stacked look. Do I switch? Do I stack? Do I customize a band?

And if I switch, then whatever do I do with my Trinity ring, which I love and currently wear on my right ring finger? And also happens to be the very first gift Mr. Daisy gave me, when we’d been dating just under 4 months.

However, all in all, I now am starting to realize the dangers Mr. Daisy warned me about. All this free time is allowing me to go completely batshit insane. I literally just spent the last 1/2 hour photoshopping my e-ring to approximate how a band in its style would look. I think this is my cue to head to the gym. For an entirely different kind of torture and stress.

This seems to be the ultimate topic on weddingbee at the moment. My friends have been stressing and asking me what I want. Not to worry. It’s really s-i-m-p-l-e.

I’ve told them all, gift cards. I personally would rather have credit towards my stores of choice, so I can slowly take the time with my husband-to-be to pick out things to furnish our new place. But for our friends that don’t like the idea of gift cards, I know they will come up with something that I love anyway.

Also, the #1 reason is time. It is not something my fiance and I have a lot of these days. The whole registry idea - pointing and shooting items of choice - seems like a lot of fun. But it’s nearly impossible to find a day in our schedules where we can meet up for even a few hours. When we finally get time for ourselves, I’d rather spend that as quality time to eat, laugh and maybe catch a flick instead. I feel it’s the only way we’ll keep our sanity and our record of three and a half years fight free.

Now we don’t get emails from our male readers very often, so I had to share this with you! Please let Aaron know what you think!

hello weddingbee ladies,

i find your blog very helpful and filled with some great ideas. my fiance is doing most of the planning of the wedding, and i try to help where i can (she has the fashion/style/color/theme/etc-sense). one way i did help was by designing our save the date magnets with photoshop. i thought i would show you what my fiance and i came up with. we decided to make three different designs, one for our older relatives (a bit formal), one for our friends that have a sense of humor (or at least appreciate our sense of humor), and one that’s kind of more cute (i guess for the people in between, i got the idea from ohjoy’s blog). and of course, these are pictures of us when we were little.

keep up the good work with your blog.

p.s. my fiance initially thought it was weird that i started reading your blog.

…just put your ipod on shuffle and see what happens!

You can’t make up this suggest a great wedding song game. Put your ipod on shuffle and think of each song in the context of a husband and wife’s first dance. I like to think of Badly Drawn Boy’s “The Shining” which is a really lovely song, but the lyrics are a bit odd and oddly timed.

Faith pours from your walls, drowning your calls
I’ve tried to hear you’re not near
Remembering when I saw your face
Shining my way, pure timing
Now I’ve fallen in deep, slow silent sleep
It’s killing me, I’m dying

to put a little bit of sunshine in your life

In response, Sterogum requests interesting wedding song options from their readers. There are some good ones in the group.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban enjoying their honeymoon at the St. Regis, Bora Bora. They’re reportedly staying in the $18,000/night “royal suite.”

It’s kinda sad that they can’t even enjoy their honeymoon without paparazzi following them. Of course I’m not helping by posting this…
