Mrs. Apple, DallasAge and Occupation in '07: 28, EntrepreneurFiance's Age and Occupation: 32, Police OfficerEngagement Date: Easter Day 2006Wedding Date: May 27, 2007Blogging Since: September 28, 2006Venue: Marie Gabrielle Restaurant & GardensAbout Me: I'm in the midst of trying to plan a "perfectly beautiful" wedding and decorating my new home. 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.
I’m married now. It still hasn’t completely hit me yet that I’m married. It’s been a little crazy the past couple of days saying goodbye to family and friends. I’m married!!!! Holy moly! I’m married.
Here are some funny teasers. I’ll post pictures once I get them back from F8 next week.
Poor Mr. Apple. I felt bad so I was wiping away all of the chocolate.

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!

We are planning our wedding at a unique city venue for about 75 close family members and friends. I have a lot of DIY ideas and I like to blog about ways to save money on your wedding.
I love large gable boxes. You don’t have to worry about wrapping tiny corners, they are so easy to assemble and all you need is a pretty ribbon to make your package complete! There’s also so much you could put inside of these boxes. For the labels I added a watermark image of the Liberty Bell and placed our welcome sign in front of the…

But I lost my druthers long ago...anyone seen them?
Just when you thought it was going to be another quiet Wednesday…
Announcing our latest addition to the hive, Miss Eggplant! She’s loaded with great ideas and DIY projects, and has a knack for finding smokin’ deals. In fact, I just may apprentice myself to her. Let’s give her a warm fuzzy, buzzy welcome, shall we?

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!

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 :-).

There was much debate whether or not we should have a band, DJ, or an iPod playing our music for the reception. My fiance’s mom liked the idea of having a band. The look of having a band at your reception is very classy and the sound is so much better live. The cons for having a band is that it’s very expensive and you…

We've been "engaged" since 2004 and were originally supposed to get married in June 2006, but postponed the wedding to July 2007. I love shopping for housewares and office supplies, music, reading chick lit, football, and the diverse world of Los Angeles dining.
I am so burned out with wedding planning. Part of it stems from my frustration with planning some events at work, and that has trickled into my personal life. It just seems like I am ostriching myself right now — sticking my head into the sand and ignoring the wedding work to be done. My brain is in crisis lockdown mode. I do have some…

And the scent divas over at Urban Botanic are giving Weddingbee readers a free sample from their corresponding fragrance family (determined based on the results of a 10-minute personality test). Yay!
All you have to do is take the test here. Then send an email titled “Weddingbee offer” to shawna@urbanbotanic.com and include your mailing address and test results. Then just sit…

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!
Now, this may be one determined groom, albeit a careless one! A Georgia man (identity not released, probably due to fear of public beatings) infected with a very rare case of tuberculosis boarded a flight from Atlanta to Paris, despite being warned that he knew he could possibly expose his diagnosed case of TB to other passengers. Although his strain of bacteria was resistant to…

A good 5 months ago, I posted about wanting my ring bearer and flower girl to walk down the aisle carrying teddy bears. Unfortunately, I hadn’t been able to find any bears to my liking, so I eventually forgot/dismissed this idea entirely. BUT a recent stroll through the chocolate aisles of Macy’s led me to this adorable find for a mere $8.50 each (originally $24,…

I am having a great time with all of my DIY projects and can't wait to share them with all of the WeddingBee Readers (some have to wait until after our wedding)! Other favorites include: cooking, running, tennis, knitting and making crafts. Mr. Raspberry and I also have two dogs - Gewurz, a 2 year old
yellow lab and Stella, a 1 year old old cock-a poo.
I just returned from a fabulous weekend away with my leading ladies… and I know you can’t resist waiting any longer for a few pictures, so I put a couple of “appropriate” ones together…
And first I must say - I have THE BEST maid of honor in the world!
So the weekend started with us arriving in Western New York on Friday night… We stayed at…

I’m a die-hard Mac girl. Having to do my Weddingbee work on Mr. Lovebug’s PC is warping my personality, I’m sure of it. The phrase “The depths of my hatred for Microsoft can never be plumbed” goes through my head several times a day.
As therapy, I like to lose myself for a while in one of my favorite Apple orchards: Dashboard Widgets. On my last…
