I just got back from a book release party at the Rainbow Room for Preston Bailey’s latest book, Inspirations. My geeky, hermit self met so many wedding celebrities, and I can’t wait to tell you about it all. But for now, here’s a pic:
Hmmm, I don’t know where he’s looking lol. He is such a sweetie! PS - the party will be featured on Entertainment…

Engagement Date: 07/04/2006
Wedding Date: September 1, 2007
Venue: Lake Union Cafe, Seattle
About Me: I'm a Navy brat that has lived all over the world. I love reality shows that are in poor taste, going to new restaurants, and trying to be crafty. Emphasis on trying!
Evidently the scissor happy bride who cut her own hair on her wedding day, is indeed a fake. According to dlisted.com, the bride is an aspiring Canadian actress by the name of Jodi Behan. I’m so relieved. Aren’t you?

Mrs. Butterfly here.
I’ve decided to part with my veil. As much as I loved my veil and the way it made me look in pictures, I only wore it for the ceremony (a grand total of 30 minutes). It’s a two layer, ivory veil with ivory trimming along the bottom. It’s been tailored so that the two layers are evenly spaced apart throughout the entire…

Mrs. Kiwi, Los Angeles
Age and Occupation in 06: 27, Bookkeeper
Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, P.E. Teach/Coach @ private schools in LA
Engagement Date: March 31, 2006
Wedding Date: November 3, 2007
Venue: Radisson Hotel
About Me: I'm a bookkeeper who failed high school algebra. I'm currently living in Los Angeles, literally a street over from where I grew up with Mr. Kiwi, my honey of three years. We have a jumbo mini-dachshund (seriously, he's huuuuge), and we're planning an autumn themed wedding on a shoestring, paid for by ourselves. The wedding date is my late grandma's birthday, I needed her there somehow, and that seemed like the best way for us. I can't believe I'm a Bee! I couldn't be more proud!
I just got my tiara. I love it. The second it came I wanted to wear it, but not having a comb attached I have to figure out another way to keep it on. When I finally get my veil I can see how they look together, but until then, it’s tiara time!
As I was telling Miss Bluebell about my tiara and plans to wear…

Engagement Date: September 26, 2004
Wedding Date: July 7, 2007
Venue: Laguna Beach on the beach, reception on a yacht in Newport Beach
About Me: I'm an eyeball doc. Normal is boring. I'm a hat person and a cat person. I'm in love (so very very in love). I'm a dreamer. I want to change the world. Superheroes are my friends. Kindness is contagious. Music is in my heart. Carpe diem.
Photography has always been a big part of my life. I collect landscape photography, photography books and my dream job would be a photographer for National Geographic. I have not been without a camera in my purse since Jr. High and I document everything wherever I go. It drives my fiance nuts. I can hear his voice in my head right now saying, “Do you…

Mrs. Emerald, Chicago
Age and Occupation: 26, Wedding Planner
Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Paralegal
Engagement Date: October 8, 2006
Wedding Date: September 2007
Blogging Since: November 29, 2006
Venue: Hyatt Lodge, Oak Brook IL
About Me: I have been dreaming about my wedding forever, and flipping through bridal magazines since high school, so I am in my element! I am calling our theme "Vintage Inspired French/Asian Fusion." Mr. Emerald is very involved in the planning process, but of course he generally defers to me cuz I have a strong opinion of how I want everything to be :-).
I’ve been ordering a lot of wedding-related things online, so I always get excited when I hear the mailroom carts swing by my area. I’ve been disappointed for the past few days, but today I scored two packages! YAY! So I thought I’d share my goodies.
#1 - My Eiffel Tower chocolate molds that I ordered off Amazon about 2.5 weeks ago. I seriously thought they…

Miss Lily, New York/Tucson
Age and Occupation in 06: 30, Public Health Researcher
Fiance's Age and Occupation: 30, Art/Web Stuff
Engagement Date: February 11, 2006
Wedding Date: April, 2007
Venue: Tuscon, Arizona
About Me: Here are some things I love?�‚�? painting, drawing, knitting and all other crafty things (including glueing popsicle sticks together); burritos (must be from Arizona); indie/70s rock; whiskey; dogs (if only my tiny apt could support one!); bad TV; and reading. I'm also crazy indecisive so fingers crossed wedding planning doesn't kill me.
I admit it. When we first started dating, sometimes we would change up which side of the bed we sleep on. Mr. Lily on the right, Miss Lily on the left. Miss Lily on the right, Mr. Lily on the left. But it has been many, many (many!) moons since we have swapped bed sides. I sleep on the left and I love the left.…

Mrs. Bee here.
Whenever I talk to Mr. Bee about “girly” things, he says that he doesn’t know about those things and that I should talk to my girlfriends. I always reply, “But you’re my best friend!” He says he unfortunately knows what a tankini is now thanks to me.
I talk to Mr. Bee about everything - from what I should wear, to makeup, to…

I’ve been wanting a Digital SLR camera for a long time, and since Mr. Bee and I are going to Costa Rica, I think it’s finally about time to purchase one. I’m a picture freak and there’ll be too many gorgeous photo opportunities there to pass up!
The two cameras I’m considering are the Canon Digital Rebel XTi:

Mrs. Lime, Los Angeles
Age and Occupation in 06: 25, Design
Fiance's Age and Occupation: 25, IT
Engagement Date: July 7, 2006
Wedding Date: August 5, 2007
Venue: An historic estate
About Me: Between work and wedding planning, I try to squeeze in napping, drawing, random spurts of craftiness, tennis, and eating lots of Sprinkles cupcakes, dark chocolate, and noodles of all kinds. Mr. Lime and I have spent our adult lives growing up together, and we're very excited to finally be getting married!
I love anything double-sided. Double-sided tape, printing on both sides of paper to reduce waste, and bags or purses that can be flipped inside-out or at least have interior lining that is as cut as if not cuter than the exterior of the purse. So of course I love this paper I came across while on my mad DIY invite paper search. Too bad none…

Mrs. Blueberry, Kansas City
Age and Occupation in 06: 21, Full-time Student
Fiance's Age and Occupation: 23, Full-time Student
Engagement Date: September 10, 2005
Wedding Date: May 25, 2007
Venue: Wynbrick Center - a historic mansion in my hometown.
About Me: We're having an intimate, 125-ish person wedding with a full-blown dessert reception. When I'm not obsessing over wedding stuff or studying for my BA in English, I'm usually playing with our two kitty cats, blogging, doing crafty things, or hanging out with Mr. Blueberry!
Since we’re not hiring a caterer, and our site isn’t one that has any pre-approved arrangements regarding alcohol, it’s up to us to provide for our guests. This is really great for us, since we get to avoid the over-inflated costs charged by many vendors–we can order our wine by the case from Aldi (a grocery store owned by the Trader Joe’s people, which has…

Mrs. Plumeria, San Francisco

Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, High School Teacher
Engagement Date: December 30, 2005
Wedding Date: May 12, 2007
Venue: Hotel Ballroom
About Me: I love all things artsy and unique, and it has become a passion of mine to incorporate these attributes into my wedding (and become DIY royalty in the process). Other than dreaming up projects for the wedding, my latest hobbies include working on my computer, playing with my cute pet bunny, or shopping at Target/Barnes and Noble with my fiance.
… but this time, for me! I have pretty much narrowed down my choices for my wedding day jewelry, but I could use some input as to which earrings I should wear.
To pay tribute to Mr. Plumeria’s and my collective nerdiness, I was almost going to wear this…

Mrs. Plum, Dallas

Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Security Admin
Engagement Date: December 31, 2004
Wedding Date: June 29, 2007
Venue: Marie Gabrielle Restaurant and Gardens
About Me: I have been engaged for about two years now - yes, a long engagement, because my fiance and I wanted to wait until I graduated college, which I did this past summer! He proposed after dating just two months - crazy, I know, but 2 years later, here we are, still crazy in love :-). We are having not one, but TWO weddings and TWO receptions in one weekend - American-style and Vietnamese-style - in Dallas, Texas, where I was born and raised!
Is $10 a slice normal/average? Because that’s what we’re paying for our cake.

Part 1 was about the struggles getting the ring, Part 2 is about what happened next…
When Mr. Kiwi told me to take March 31st off, I kind of knew why. It was ten days after getting the ring, which was taunting me from somewhere inside our house. (By the way, having a lumberjack-tall BF who hid things very well sucked).
So, Mr. Kiwi told me we…
