My BIL sent me a link to an interesting article in the New York Times today, about the lengths women go to snoop on their significant others - peeking at emails, following their SO’s, even recording phone conversations.

I used to have a coworker who saw her boyfriend enter his voicemail password one day. She proceeded to listen to his messages daily and tell me about…

Every month The Oprah Magazine features things that Oprah thinks are great in a feature called The O List. This month I loved these vibrant, stylish gym bags from Koie Products which have separate compartments for your shoes, clothes, ipod, etc. I’d really want this if my lazy ass actually worked out. A great gift for the sporty bridesmaid, available in 6 colors for $75.

I stopped by the Laura Mercier counter earlier this week to get a makeup trial done for the wedding and my engagement photo session next week. I decided to go with them because I might as well start with the top of the line makeup counters and compare them to other counters. I was also tempted to go to Bobbi Brown or Trish McEvoy, but…

Everything went beautifully for our Civil Ceremony. Now to continue planning our big wedding in September of next year! Here’s some eye candy.

I hand tied the bouquet myself. As well as made the boutonniere that my fiance is wearing.

We should have been covering this from the beginning, but alas now we’re going to have to do a recap.

The Today Show is sponsoring their 7th annual Today Show Throws a Wedding series, where viewers vote on every aspect of a televised wedding for one couple. This year’s winners are Molly and Jason from Playa Del Rey California.

I don’t know the purpose of this game, but at my first bridal shower that my aunts gave me we played this. There was a large bowl of uncooked rice and a bunch of safety pins (closed) dumped in. Each person takes a turn being blindfolded and then they have a minute to dig out as many safety pins as they can.…

A couple weeks ago I started talking with Miss Violet about making my flower girls’ gifts. I loooove her Etsy site and knew she was more than talented enough to make adorable necklaces for our little FGs.

I told her about what kind of Swarovski crystal beads we used in my bouquet (sapphire, light sapphire, and clear) and showed her a picture of the FGs dresses,…

Brother-in-law Bee has made all the post titles clickable! To view a specific post, you can now click the title instead of the permalink icon (the paperclip) or the comments link. This is a feature I’d been wanting for awhile because it makes accessing individual posts a lot easier.

Yay for BILB!

My FI and I have decided to have an open bar (only beer & wine), and we’re going with Chateau Ste Michelle for our wine selection. We decided against including liquor in the open bar because most of our guests don’t drink hard liquor or mixed drinks. Ninety nine percent of his family doesn’t drink and about 99% of my family does drink - wine.…

We have a wedding party of 5 guys and 5 girls, plus our parents (4 total) and us. Most of our wedding party individuals also have dates. Something we’re having a hard time figuring out is, 1) who goes in the limo 2) how to work out driving arrangements for those not in the limo 3) Who goes in the limo prior to the wedding…

There are things our significant others do in front of us, that they never do in front of others. Mr. Bee for example, always makes up songs about our cat Smokey. He takes songs and puts Smokey’s name into them like, “I believe that Smokey is the future, teach her well and let her lead the way.” (sung to the music of Whitney Houston’s Greatest…

I never wake up at 4:30AM on a Saturday. Never!

Okay, maybe I did once when I was about 10 years old and I couldn’t wait to enter the gates of Disney World…

But, seriously… for me, this is a wretched, heinous act. Sure, I stay up late all the time. But waking up early is a terrible and unnatural event for me. And my body is…

I needed a centerpiece for our weddingbee get together last night, so I called my fabulous wedding planners over at In Any Event and asked if they knew any up and coming floral designers. Eyal referred me to Perla and Company.

I spoke to Perla over the phone, and she was very friendly and easy to work with. The only guidelines I provided for the centerpiece…

I’ve just spent the past half-hour entertaining myself by browsing the wedding albums of random people in my Kansas City, Missouri network on Facebook.

Besides Knot bios, what’s your favorite source for that random wedding photo fix?
