Hello Weddingbee Readers, I’m Miss Onion! …And the crowd thinks huh? Miss Onion? Why would she choose Miss Onion when Miss Lollipop was up for grabs?! Well, I decided Lollipop was too much of a mouthful, and besides, I love onions! Caramelized, sauteed, grilled — you name it…yum! I’ve been hooked on weddingbee since the winter and I’m so excited to be a part of the hive! Mr. Onion and I met when we were five and six years old! He and my brother were childhood friends and cub scouts together (Mr. Onion went on to become an Eagle Scout — I’m so proud)! Fast forward to the very end of college when we were reacquainted and spent about 3 years becoming great friends before the romance “blossomed” (OK, I had to try something)!

We moved to New York City in April (’06) and our first night in our new apartment he asked me to marry him! We are planning a small “destination” wedding in September to Burlington, Vermont with about 60 of our closest friends and family. Why Burlington you ask? Because our first vacation together was a drive through New England and Burlington was our favorite stop! Planning a wedding 300 miles away forces you to do lots of research and be very organized, but I can’t wait for the whole weekend!

My family heritage is Italian so we love to cook (and because we don’t have a TV we have lots of time to try new recipes). We also enjoy hearing live jazz as often as possible and just exploring new neighborhoods. Our new hobby is real estate hunting as Mr. Onion and I are looking for a few hundred square feet to call our own! This is no small task in NYC but I know we’ll find the perfect place for us!

I’m the first of my friends to be getting married, so it’s been wonderful to have this wealth of inspiration here on weddingbee. I hope I can inspire other brides-to-be as they dream of their wedding day! Thanks for reading.
