Mrs. Lemon, Los Angeles/Monterey Age and Occupation in 2006: 26, Graduate Student (Public Policy) Fiance's Age and Occupation in 2006: 29, Environmental Consultant Engagement Date: April 7, 2006 Wedding Date: July 7, 2007 Venue: Rosary Chapel & Monterey Marriott, Monterey, CA About Me: My FI and I met online, but we like to tell people that we met at a "cookie shop" which is the technical location of our first encounter. 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!

Now I’ve said before that I owe my bargain-hunting skills to my mom… but I have to thank Papa Lemon for the silly craftiness. He’s come up with more clever solutions than one can imagine (we’re still working on him getting patents to a few), but this one was pretty simple. I needed a vessel for my wish tree (p.s. that was his creation too) and somehow he transformed an old somethingorother into this:

It’s a baby blue beauty! (I didn’t even have to ask… just bought and painted it on his own) But… does it work?

Yup! It’s perfect! He’s going to secure the branches with a small amount of concrete, and we’ll fill the rest of the vessel with flower petals. I told you my dad was crafty! Can’t wait to see the wedding signs he comes up with!
