Introducing Miss Tomato!
May 1st, 2007 @ 11:33 am by Mrs. Lovebug
Way to go, everyone! We issued the call, and you answered. We’ve had a blast reading dozens of applications (and we’re not done yet!), and we’re delighted to say we’ve already found a great new addition to weddingbee.
It gives me great pleasure to introduce our newest veggie-bee, Miss Tomato! She’s just two months away from W-Day, so she’s got lots to share about everything she’s learned so far. (I mean, just look at those bargain-hunting skills!)
Name: Miss Tomato
Age and Occupation: 25, Technology Project Manager
Fiance’s Age and Occupation: 25, Engineer
Engagement Date: October 22, 2006
Wedding Date: July 2007
Venue: Auberge du Soleil (Napa Valley)
About Me: I love all things beautiful. From handmade stationery, feminine fashion and delicate flowers, to the little moments in life treasured with your loved one. I am also notorious among my friends to be a deal hunter! My best deal was perhaps my wedding dress–an unworn Monique Lhuillier dress for $1100 (orig. $5000). I also tend to use a lot of exclamation marks! =)

Your engagement date was exactly one year after our second engagement (first engagement was the ‘will you marry me?’ one, second engagement was the ‘I know I already said this, but will you marry me ? Here’s a ring’ 
)
Love your appreciation of all things beautiful, too–I don’t think enough people look at the world that way anymore.

Isn’t the tomato a fruit?
Welcome! Can’t wait to hear more about your wedding.
Miss M: originally, I thought that too, but look! from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato
In 1887, U.S. tariff laws that imposed a duty on vegetables but not on fruits caused the tomato’s status to become a matter of legal importance. The U.S. Supreme Court settled this controversy in 1893, declaring that the tomato is a vegetable, using the popular definition which classifies vegetable by use, that they are generally served with dinner and not dessert.
