Since then, we spent 6 years in a long distance relationship. And now by the grace of God, we've made it through; we are living in the same state again (NJ) and we are gettin' married! I was originally going to ask if I could be Miss Mango bc I loveee mangos sooo much, but in the end decided to be true to my GA peach roots! woot!
BM dresses arrived awhile ago from Netbride. Their service was great, and all my girls got their dresses with no mishaps in a timely fashion. Including shipping and such, their prices were the best too!
As modeled by my MOH, twas a bit big for her and everyone else:

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!
Alright ladies, my fitness routine might not be super intense, but I’ve started myself into the right groove as I prep for bikini weather this July. While it may take 21-days to start a habit, I think I’ve gotten a few under my belt already.
1. Drinking at least 64 oz. water a day!
If I could, all of my beverages would come from Coffee Bean, but…

I really have no idea what it's going to end up looking like!
Also, I picked Miss Bluebell for my name because I have blue eyes and I'm a loser like that.
Mrs. Lime, Los AngelesAge and Occupation in 06: 25, DesignFiance's Age and Occupation: 25, ITEngagement Date: July 7, 2006Wedding Date: August 5, 2007Venue: An historic estateAbout 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!
This task is very difficult to do. Of course all the coordinators I met with, and caterers and florists I’ve been speaking with/meeting with don’t understand all the different areas of our venue or the flow of our event. I haven’t gotten a layout plan yet as the venue doesn’t give it to you until you do a walkthrough and layout with the site coordinator.…
Mrs. Snail (formerly Miss Snail), New York/New JerseyAge and Occupation: 26, Make-up artistFiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Making me happy~Engagement Date: May 7, 2006Wedding Date: December 2006Venue: Rockleigh Country Club, New JerseyAbout Me: I feel like I've waited so long to officially start the wedding planning process and now I'm all sorts of emotions - overwhelmed, excited, stressed, confused. But I'm a trooper and I have the support of the best friends and family. I hope I'm able to plan an amazing wedding in 6 months that will be talked about years from now.
When it came to the planning process, I admit, I really stressed myself out and drove people around me crazy because I was so unorganized. Here are my wedding day imperfections:
1. In one of my close up detail pictures, there’s a shot of my nice pedicured foot in bronze sandals. That was not what I wore day of. I placed a special order for custom…

I love to eat, cook, watch Dog the Bounty Hunter, Without a Trace, L&O, and MTV Hits as well as chill with my cat Illie, work on little DIY projects for the wedding, do extensive wedding related searches on Google using my "skills." Ha-ha. We are having a 150+ ppl wedding incorporating his Jewish background and my Japanese heritage.

Teach/Coach @ private schools in LAEngagement Date: March 31, 2006Wedding Date: November 3, 2007Venue: Radisson HotelAbout 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!
Mr. Kiwi and I were together almost exactly two and a half years before we got engaged. The year before that, Mr. Kiwi’s mom gave him the go-ahead to marry me. So, it was after that date I started asking him when his idea for an engagement was. That was also when I was told to just stop and let…

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!
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, Mr. Bee and I were talking about special places that couples share, whether it’s where you met, had your first date, got engaged, or is just your favorite place to go on a date together.
For Mr. Bee and I, it’s ‘ino - a little wine bar in the West Village. It’s where we first met, and where…

It's been exhausting but totally worth every minute of it. Ironically, I was never the type of person to want to get married but now that I'm engaged, I get giddy over anything that is wedding related! I'll try my best to give you all unique and practical ideas.
Mr. Apple and I visited a Dave and Busters together a few years ago. Dave and Busters is the adult version of Chuck ‘e Cheese - they house a full restaurant and bar, poker tables, pool tables, and all of the latest arcade type games. We were in the arcade area playing the games and we came across a funny little photo booth, “The Gene…

Mr. Kiwi and I are trying to save as much money as possible. This means eating at home more, no shopping sprees, and possibly no Valentine’s Day extravaganza. While this does make me a little bummed, they are just frivolities that we don’t really need - whether we’re trying to save money or not.
This also means we’re not doing engagement photos. I don’t know if…

I first came across Teardrop’s stationery at the National Stationery Show last year, but I didn’t find out until recently that they had a custom wedding invitation line. I simply adore their charming, whimsical designs! And just for weddingbee readers, Teardrop is offering 10% off any custom invitation order.
These are examples of some of their save the dates, but matching invitations and thank you cards…
