Wedding Blog

Hi Weddingbee readers! I’m absolutely bee-lighted and honored to be part of the hive! Out of all the adorable veggies available, I picked Miss Eggplant because purple is one of my favorite colors (and my head is kind of shaped line an eggplant ). As a veritable veggie-bee, I vow to voice every visionary idea I have with you all!

It would only be proper to introduce myself and Mr. Eggplant before I start blogging away, so I’ll piggyback on Miss Lemon’s entry about similarities and differences:

Similarities:

1. Mr Eggplant and I have similar scholastic interests: Both of us consume anything related to the studies of sociology and psychology and we love writing in our spare time. Mr. Eggplant is a great writer while I only try, but we’re both internet junkies who love to blog. Blame it on being a product of Gen X & Y.

2. We have the same taste in music. Our first group date involved an intimate concert watching one of our favorite singer-songwriters who is practically unknown. It was a big coincidence that we both owned her album.

3. We both adore romantic comedies. Mr. Eggplant is a true romantic and he will be the first to admit that his favorite movies include Fever Pitch and Jerry Maguire. I don’t have to drag him to watch chick flicks because he suggests them himself.

Differences:

1. Mr. Eggplant is an avid fan of pop culture while I haven’t the slightest clue about Hollywood. If you want the latest scoop on Paris Hilton’s arrest, ask Mr. Eggplant. I couldn’t name any of the popular shows on TV to save my life. I will, however, confess that I watch American Idol religiously.

2. I’m a total introvert while Mr. Eggplant defines the meaning of “extrovert.” Mr. Eggplant thrives when he’s surrounded by large groups of people. He’d love to spend an afternoon BBQ-ing with 40 friends followed by an evening Pictionary marathon. My ideal Saturday night would be an intimate dinner party at home with Mr. Eggplant and a friend or two. I don’t know how I’m going to survive being in the spotlight on wedding day!

3. Our money philosphies are completely opposite! Mr. Eggplant is much more responsible with his money while I am definitely more impulsive which has led to some rather heated “discussions” during wedding planning. (Mr. Eggplant: “Do we really need to spend $8.50/person for chiavari chairs?”, Miss Eggplant: “But we’re getting a $2/chair discount!”). To my defense, I’m also great at finding deals, like a BCBG dress for $40 and all my candy buffet containers for about $6 a piece!

Well, that was a mouthful for my first Weddingbee post. I look forward to blogging with you!
