Miss Cherry Blossom - since it’s our theme!

I would have to say Dallas - we’re only in Virginia for 2.5 more years
6. How long have you and your fiance/husband been together? 15 months
7. What would your first official post be about if you were a blogger?
Hmmm…probably about how we sent out invitations last week and someone has bought our first gift on our registry!
1. What fruit, flower, insect, jewel, etc. would you choose if you were a blogger (you can pick one that’s already been chosen if you like)?
I think I’d want to be different and be “Miss Snowflake”, since that’s a big part of my wedding theme!
2. How’d you find out about Weddingbee and how often do you check the site?
I found the link to Weddingbee through xanga, where I keep a blog… I would say that I check it about 2-3 times a day when I’m near a computer.

January, 2008

5. What city/state are you representing?
Michigan, baby!
6. How long have you and your fiance/husband been together?
Over 2 and a half years, but we’ve known each other for over six years.
7. What would your first official post be about if you were a blogger
It would be an introduction, I’d tell you all about me and my sweetie, and our basic wedding ideas so far…
1. I think I would pick a butterfly because I really feel that I will feel so different after the wedding. This whole process has really forced me to think more long term ie like a grown-up. Making such a huge commitment to someone else and realizing that I can no longer make most of my life decisions by myself has been such an incredible process and has really caused me to evaluate my long term goals, and what I want to see in my future.
2. I found it through a link, I really wish I could remember from where, sorry. I check it several times a day, I find it so encouraging especially with the new posters from such varied places and budgets.
3. my wedding will be July 21st.
4.I’m getting married back home in Kentucky, although I live in San Francisco now.
5. Kentucky!!!
6. My fiance and I have been together for 2 years.
7.My first post would probably be about how to best personalize your wedding to really represent the two of you and not trying to make your wedding look like a magazine spread. The most inspiring weddings I see are ones that really give you a feel for the couple, not the wedding coordinator/latest trend. The one that comes to mind is in Martha Stewart where the couple met in elementary school so they had a school theme through out from the custom invitations, to the chalk board photography background and lunch tray food service. Weddings like that really inspire me.

It would be about how to really get started with all the planning. I found it most helpful to spend a few months collecting ideas first and then to discuss them with family and friends.

Establishing a budget first can be deceiving unless you know the true price of your dream wedding, as I have painfully learned!

9 years this June. I’ve been with him since I was 16 (him 17) and we’ve been together ever since.
7. What would your first official post be about if you were a blogger?
That’s a tough one. Besides introducing myself I would like to talk about the pressures that family and in-laws place on couples during the wedding planning process. My Fiance and I are very torn between having a wedding that we would like (i.e. Western Style) as opposed to a traditional 12 course Chinese one that is expected by our families.
Or I would post about in-laws and how my future mother in law asked recently if we were planning to take her on our honeymoon since her friends kids all do!
This is trite, but a difficult question. I wear Gardenia Passion perfume, but we will be using a lot of tulips in our wedding because we are near one of the largest tulip-growing areas in the world. My invitations are being hand painted in a botanical style, of vinca. I also consider myself Old Spice, because of my age as a first time bride and I thought that would be my name if I were a Spice Girl.
I check wedding bee five times a day, because I am currently wedding obsessed.
We will be married in Seattle and I represent Washington. My fiance is from a small town outside Dallas, but identifies with Northwest values.
We have been together nearly four years and engaged for three.
My BA is in apparel design so I would like to talk about style or being a less than ideal and perfect bride. There are special joys at this age, and some of the usual anxieties.
1. What fruit, flower, insect, jewel, etc. would you choose if you were a blogger (you can pick one that’s already been chosen if you like)? Mouse, of course. If taken, dahlia. (Could I be Dahlia Travers? Start all my posts with Halllooooo, young [insert Briticism here]?)

2. I THINK I googled something and y’all came up, but I’m not sure at this point. You’re on my Google Reader blog feed, so I catch up on all recent past posts whenever I check it. Which is a lot.
3. July 28, 2007 - six months from today!
4/5. Denver - we’re both natives, actually. (Looking to expand? The Mile High City would be a great next step!)
6. Just over four years
7. Okay, yes, an introduction, and then probably a discussion of doing this whole thing on (somewhat of a) budget, where we decided to spend our money, and where we’re trying to save
Yay!
1. I’d start an animal section and I’d be a cat. Or, for conformity’s sake, I’d be tigerlily. Are you seeing a pattern yet? I’m not a pre-vet girl for nothing!
2. I found it through the link on Xanga’s sign in page and finally visited when I decided that I was actually planning a wedding. I check it once a day at least, but on weekdays I’d say it’s closer to… 10 times? 15? I’m an internet fiend as it is. I check Facebook almost as often.
3. My wedding is on March 16th and the reception is April 7th.
4. The wedding will be on a beach in Islamorada, Florida (one of the keys) at sunset, and the reception will be local in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
5. Stillwater (Oklahoma State University! Woot!) and Tulsa, Oklahoma.
6. Four years this March! A week after the wedding date, actually. We’d have had it ON our anniv., but we need to use spring break for the honeymoon.
7. Hmm… my ideas for DIY cenerpieces, questions about finding a veil, or complaints about how David’s Bridal operates (or really, just how it stresses me out just going in the place.)
Haha I think my wedding is the closest date posted so far that hasn’t passed yet! And I check the site like 4x as much as other people. Man. Oh well. I’ve been blogging for seven or eight years now, so maybe it’s a growing obsession?
1. Miss peony - I love peonies. Or Miss Bug. That was my nickname back in college. I kid you not.
2. 3 to 4 times a week. I’m not sure how I stumbled upon it. I’ve been a fan for almost a year and it’s helped tremondously
3. May 19th, 2007
4. Red Rock Resort, Las Vegas, NV
5. A little bit of the bay area (sf in particular - that’s where I live) and Las Vegas of course.

1. Miss Magnolia. Magnolias are white with a touch of pink like a blushing bride.
2. I was searching the web for “something blue” and came across a post here that I now have bookmarked. I check 4-6 times a week now and many days I check multiple times. I’m addicted!
3. I’m at the pre-engagement point. I know it’s coming, I’ve been waiting almost 4 years and I have reason to believe the engagement will come in the following month. I predict an October or April wedding.
4. We’ll get married in the local church where both of us were baptized and confirmed. It’s in a tiny Catholic town near St. Louis, MO.
5. St. Paul/O’Fallon, Missouri. Just outside St. Louis.

7. I am in the process of remodeling a house with the FH. Constructing a house and a wedding are sure to lead to chaos.
1. Maybe aquamarine, simply because I love the color. But if I didn’t have to stay in the categories, I’d be Mrs. Sonshine… because it was my husband’s nickname and my new last name (Son)
2. Honestly can’t remember how I found weddingbee. I used to check it ten times a day but now that I’m not married, and work less from a computer… about three times a week.
3. 08-26-2006

I love love love weddingbee!!!! I’m getting so many ideas before I’m even engaged! The Bees make me laugh, and have given me so many great ideas. I love to think about what I would do if money were no object. I have so many ideas!
Thank you for putting all of this info out there. It’s nice to see information from real people with real budgets!
Oh, and please don’t think I’m crazy for checking you guys daily even though I’m not actually planning a wedding.
