Weddingbee Blog

Miss Canary — thanks for the reminder about the Photoshop Tony posted. I couldn’t get it to load and forgot to go back. It is very cool to see the step by step process.

GreenTeaGuinness - Thanks! I did feel comfortable around Tony — as comfortable as you can feel in front of someone you’ve just met. I would certainly recommend him. I have two other knot friends who had sessions with him — one brought her make-up artist with her so it was the 3 of them, the other went alone like I did. Tony was very professional and helped me with ideas because it’s hard to be animated in front of a camera if that is new to you.

Check out my other posts about Tony and the experience for more information — don’t hesitate to reach out for more info if I haven’t answered all your questions. And if you do reach out to Tony please tell him Mrs. Onion from weddingbee sent you!

I don’t know how to say this, but I think I’ve seen too much of you! I’m not prude or anything, but I feel like everyday now I open Weddingbee and I see you in your lingerie… again. I appreciate your willingness to share, but I’m starting to feel uncomfortable. Maybe can you make the pics lower so I can skip your posts about it. (I’m not trying to be rude, so please don’t read this as such).

RJ - You are being so prude. If you were to go to any beach you would see WAY less that what she is wearing. Unbelievable. Read another blog if you can’t take the openness and honesty, that’s what weddingbee is all about. I applaud Miss Onion for sharing all her details. Don’t listen to RJ Miss Onion, I love the details you share!

Thank you ladies for your support.

RJ – I’m not offended but I am shocked. I have posted a total of six times with any mention of Tony Yang and this photo session. Only twice, this current post and another posted on August 1st when I got my proofs back, had any photos of me that you’d HAVE to see. The rest were included “further down” as you suggested or not at all. You were not forced to “click to read more.”

The point of weddingbee is to share ideas, experiences AND images. As we all know — people look first and then read, if they read at all. I wanted to share about my experience from the excitement prior to the session, to the results which included post processing, the album and Mr. Onion’s response (which I posted about because I got so many inquiries), as well as the images and experiences of two other brides who had a similar experience in the hope that it would help other brides/wives who might be considering this as a gift for their fiancés/husbands.

And really, as CJ mentioned, the photos of me in a bikini on my honeymoon was more revealing than any of the Tony Yang images I posted.

I have to agree with RJ - just seems inappropriate to post pics of yourself like this on the web for the world to see. I know it was out of the spirit of sharing, but I think it’d be more special if you reserved it for your hubby. Beautiful pics though.

RJ- are you kidding! How bout’ skip her posts dumbass!

Clearly this will be a hung jury no matter what I say. If my posts have helped you, made you feel more confident, brave or excited about doing something similar for your fiancé or husband, hooray! I’m thrilled.

While this was a gift for my husband, it was as much an experience for me. It was very liberating and I’m sure we’ll both be so happy to look back at these images when we’re old and still happily married.

While it’s possible that his family or co-workers might see these images, it’s not likely. That would be assuming any of them a) knew what weddingbee was, b) had any interest in wedding planning and c) somehow managed to figure out I was “Mrs. Onion” before they took to Google to hunt them down. And as for friends — I talked to his best friend before I did this for his feedback and showed him the photos — he thought it was a fantastic thing to do and loved them! So no, I’m not worried about anyone seeing them. I even shared them with my mother — they really aren’t that scandalous…it’s not like I’m not wearing any clothes! I’m basically wearing PJs.

I appreciate that everyone has their own opinion but no, I don’t think it “devalues” anything for the images to be on weddingbee (which is by no means “the whole world)…. OK — that’s all I have to say.

Before reading any of the comments, I was thinking of nicely commenting something like “wow, I feel like I’ve seen your boobs a lot lately!” Mrs. Onion, you are a very sweet and lovely woman but I do feel a little uncomfortable with your eyes gazing at me from the computer screen, while half naked. Yes, I should just move on and be polite but I can’t help but feel like people are jumping on the bandwagon to hate on RJ, when I don’t think she was really being rude.

I think it is rude (and quite appalling) to ask someone to change THEIR blog to make someone else less uncomfortable. RJ and Annie- seriously! As someone who took boudoir pictures, I can attest that the experience is in fact liberating. I am proud of mine and would show anyone who asked. (Yes the more provocative ones are only for the hubby). Also- there is a lot of effort involved- same as DIY save the dates- dress choosing- so why would Mrs. Onion limit herself to just posting 1 or 2 blogs on the topic. It just seems so narcissistic and obnoxious to request that someone change their personal venting space to meet someone else’s standard of acceptability.

Mrs. Onion- please keep posting!!
