Wedding Blog
Kristen asks:
Do you work on weddingbee.com as your full time job? I love what you have turned the site into!
~~~
This is one of the most common questions that people ask, so I thought it’d be a good one to start with.
Most of you know that I started weddingbee as a personal blog on Xanga while I was planning my own wedding. At the time I was working on launching another blog-based site geared towards Asian Americans. But my weddingbee xanga just took off and since I was immersed in weddings at the time, it seemed logical to launch weddingbee.com first.
So to answer your question - yes, running weddingbee.com is my full-time job. What exactly do I do? I edit posts, schedule posts to go live at regular intervals throughout the day, write posts, build new features, *try* to answer email galore, recruit new bees, meet with vendors in the industry, attend wedding/networking events, and plan for other sites that will eventually fall under the Busy Bee Blogs umbrella.
It’s a lot of work, and I’ve actually needed an intern for quite some time. (Anyone interested? ;)) I typically work between 12-16 hours a day, 7 days a week. Tis a grueling schedule, and I’ve recently vowed to cut back so Mr. Bee and I have some time to spend together (we hardly see each other!).
But I absolutely love what I do, and I put my heart and soul into weddingbee. 
Thanks so much for your kind words - it’s a community of awesome people like you that makes my job so rewarding!

I just wanted to thank you, Miss Bee! Thanks for the opportunity and for being so freakin’ cool! pst.. (and for giving me something to do instead of work!)
I love WeddingBee. It has just taken off so much in the past several months and it’s wonderful!
I used to view your Xanga site too
you are AWESOME! thank you for all you do and as a bride to be, this site is full of great ideas.. and above all, thanks for including me.
your hard work and passion are evident in the excellent site! the variety of topics, the unique perspectives, the plethora of fresh ideas makes this site addicting. Traditional wedding media seems positively stale and churned-out in comparison to all the creative brides on weddingbee.
All of the hard work is well worth it! This place is so fun and magical and I’m soooo lucky to be a part of it!
Kepp up the good work! I love you weddingbee! =o) I think it’d be cool to be an intern! hehehe.
i’ve actually read your xanga site once upon a time. i prefer this site to traditional boards. it’s more fun [and constantly updated] and its really cool to see what actual brides are doing or thinking about doing with their weddings. plus, it’s VERY welcoming and friendly to the non-engaged like myself. keep up the great work!
What kind of intern are you looking for in general? What are there roles? What kind of responsibilities do they need to do?
if i were in nyc, i would definitely love to intern for you (at least when I’m not at work). if you ever need an offsite california intern, don’t hesitate to contact me! 
I concur with the other ‘bees — it’s so much fun to be a part of it. I wholeheartedly support Busy Bee Blogs and would love to help you as much as I can as you expand! Especially if we ever went the route of printed publications… call me, I would so be there!
Thank you for all the hard work, Mrs. Bee! The stream of updates is just awesome; Weddingbee quickly became one of my favourite sites just days after I found it!
I agree with everyone else!!! Thanks so much for giving us a collective wedding site home, and letting me be a part of it!!!! 
yes! - what would said intern need to do?
If I didn’t live in OK, I’d totally be your intern!!
I am a wedding planner & I love your site! It is just great. I check it out when I can.
i’m with all the others who said if they didn’t live in another state, they would be your intern! I would love to do that! if you do ever go furthur into something like printed publications, just let us know. and thanks Mrs. Bee for a great site. Weddingbee is one of my favs and i visit it every time i get on to check normal things like email, i’m addicted, it’s official.
What types of new projects are in store for weddingbee? I love the new contest additions! It really makes the readers contribute to the site. GREAT JOB MRS. BEE!
You are so talented, and the site is a joy, even months after my wedding!
i absolutely love your site and i’m only a junior in college. heheh
what would you want from your intern? it’s something i would be completely interested in!
