Mrs. Lemon's Picture
Mrs. Lemon, Los Angeles/Monterey Age and Occupation in 06: 26, Graduate Student (Public Policy) Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Environmental Consultant Engagement Date: April 7, 2006 Wedding Date: July 7, 2007 Venue: Rosary Chapel & Monterey Marriott, Monterey, CA About Me: My FI and I met online, but we like to tell people that we met at a "cookie shop" which is the technical location of our first encounter. He proposed exactly 1 year, 1 month and 6 days after our first date (it's the only part of his proposal speech that I remember), and we're planning long-distance from Los Angeles for a July wedding in my hometown of Monterey, CA. I have a passion for all things "cool, cute and quirky" and I enjoy video games, reading blogs (WeddingBee, trashy celeb, consumer & political) and crafting in my spare time, if I have any!

Sniffle, Cough, Cough

October 31st, 2006 @ 1:31 pm by Mrs. Lemon

The seasons have barely changed and I’m getting close to finishing my first cold of the winter months. It wiped out my plans for Halloween completely, as Mr. Lemon just called to tell me he’s sick today and therefore my outing to his company Halloween party is a no-go. I can’t be too mad, as he comforted me this weekend with movies, chicken soup and lots of hugs. I’m heading over to comfort him this afternoon with orange juice and popsicles and pretzels…and hopefully we’ll both be better by the weekend.

I’ve always been a big believer in finding someone who cares for you when you’re down and out, and unfortunately, my guy has already been tested quite rigorously and keeps flying with higher and higher colors. But my big requisite: HUGS. And sorbet/gelatto. You just can’t go wrong there. *sniffle*

How does your significant other comfort you when you’re sick?

Calgon, Take Me Away!

October 31st, 2006 @ 12:52 pm by Mrs. Daisy

Of late, I have been able to completely grasp the concept of the erstwhile Calgon ads of my youth. I have been overloaded with wedding stress over logistics (i.e. do we announce the afterparty with a postcard, or just have the band say so at the wedding?) and getting caught up in the minutiae.

Happily, yesterday was a day of no stress at all, and awesomeness abounded. That’s because Michael–the big brother I adopted for myself in college–took me on a “Miss Daisy City Adventure” that was a 100% cure for all that ailed me.

See?? Don’t I look happy!??He told me that we were having a “fancy” lunch and then we could do whatever fun bridal errands I had to do. He said not to worry about transportation…

Get Your Sexy On

October 31st, 2006 @ 12:01 pm by Mrs. Ant

For the first portion of my Bachelorette weekend, my girls organized a private class at Exotic Dance Central for all of us!

We warmed up with some sexy moves and practiced our “sexy walks.” Things heated up when our instructor taught us several different pole moves and tricks. We learned three different ways to swing around the pole! After bruising our inner thighs (oh boy, try explaining that one to your fiance after your Bachelorette weekend!), we split up into two groups and practiced lots of steamy lap dance moves on each other. The whole class was muuuy caliente! cool1.gif

My Dress-Buying Journey

October 31st, 2006 @ 11:31 am by Mrs. Lime

 I “visited” my dress this weekend, so it inspired me to post about it. I have no closet space at my place to store the thing, so it’s currently hanging at my mom’s. Mr. Lime and I housesat for her this weekend, so he saw it too, (albeit still wrapped up in plastic. I know, I know, I shouldn’t keep it in plastic). Since he’s seen it, I might as well share with the world.

I don’t know how, but at some point early in the wedding planning process I suddently became obsessed with finding a dress. This is one thing I originally thought I’d cut back on as I tend to like clean, unfussy, modern stuff for formal dresses (heck, for everything). I came across Ulla Maija’s website, and found THE dress…at least from the pretty published pictures. It had everything I wanted - clean and sculptural, nice draping, nice back, simple (without too much beading or lace) but not too plain, a unique neckline, and an interesting train (it’s detachable, but the dress itself has a tiny sweep train, too!).

Just Call Me Martha

October 31st, 2006 @ 11:02 am by Mrs. Peach

Remember back when I posted the tissue paper bouquet on one of Martha Stewart’s wedding magazines? Well, I finally got around to trying to make one. I was going to wait until I made 25 flowers ie. a full bouquet, but I got so excited at how they were turning out I just had to show you now.

Here are the two main flowers I picked (from Martha Stewart Weddings):

Witty Wedding Words

October 31st, 2006 @ 10:26 am by Mrs. Strawberry

For our wedding programs, I thought it would be nice to include a quote or two about love. And be as it may, I am no poet. Rather, I’ve decided to rely on the works of John Bartlett. Here are a few samplings of his work. “True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen.” “Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go.” Bartlett’s Book of Love Quotations would also be ideal to use in writing your own vows or in giving a toast!

Pier 1 Imports

I stopped into Pier 1 one afternoon after work just to see what kind of merchandise they had to offer, and I found some things that I really like. I think I may have to talk to Mr. Sunflower about the possibility registering for a few things there:
