Teach/Coach @ private schools in LA Engagement Date: March 31, 2006 Wedding Date: November 3, 2007 Venue: Radisson Hotel About Me: I'm a bookkeeper who failed high school algebra.

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!

Good News and Bad News

June 30th, 2007 @ 3:31 pm by Mrs. Kiwi

“I have good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?” That is what my brother asked me when he called long distance from Australia. Deep inside I knew he was calling to tell me that he and my sister in law weren’t going to be able to make it to our wedding. Since Mr. Kiwi and I hadn’t been able to…

Rosemary Salt Favors

June 30th, 2007 @ 1:33 pm by Mrs. Tomato

Finally!  Two days before the wedding, and I just finished my rosemary salt favors.

I originally wasn’t going to do favors. They can be a waste of money and an extra stress-inducer I didn’t want. But then Miss Corn posted about her great favors using Martha Stewart’s Rosemary Salt recipe and of course, my mind turned a switch and I just HAD to do them. The idea…

I’m also working on finishing up my journalism degree with a concentration in environmental reporting and I’m the VP of my campus Amnesty International chapter… so I’m a pretty busy bee.

The Search For The Church

June 30th, 2007 @ 10:24 am by Mrs. Radish

Once it was decided that we would have a Catholic wedding ceremony, the next step was to find a church that would marry us. This was much harder than I imagined, mostly because we are out-of-towners and Mr. Radish’s family is not from Syracuse either. My parents live there, but they don’t go to church. So because we are not members of any church in…

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!

The Final Count

June 29th, 2007 @ 6:43 pm by Mrs. Lemon

134 guests attending… out of 175 invited.

Not too shabby if you ask me, considering all of our estimates have been based on 140 people, in a room that can hold a maximum of 160 people! I’m really astounded that so many people are traveling to Monterey for the weekend… but I guess our advanced planning really helped out.

I also think it was a lot of…

Yucatan Roadtrip Honeymoon!

June 29th, 2007 @ 6:12 pm by Mrs. Peppermint

We’re going to the Yucatan for our honeymoon (I’m so excited!). In the beginning of the planning process we were completely clueless as to where to go. Mr. Peppermint wanted city and culture, and while I would like both of those, I definitely wanted some relaxation! After my dad’s suggestion, I called the travel agent that he’s used countless times for our family trips (Classic Travel)…

Hook-ups

June 29th, 2007 @ 4:51 pm by Mrs. Eggplant

No, not the romantic kind.

I’m talking about the hook-ups that save money and time. Throughout planning, Mr. Eggplant and I have been utilizing the entire talent pool of our family and friends. Two of our friends are singing and playing piano for the ceremony, another friend has built our website, and yet another is helping us create something akin to a wedding music video…

An Everlong Kiss The Girl?

After previously deciding we could dance to “Kiss the Girl” from The Little Mermaid, Mr. Kiwi has decided it’s not cool enough.
