About Me: I can be summed up by the four things I love most: kitties, cheese, math, and Mr. Bubblegum. I am knee-deep in DIY projects to keep wedding costs low but quality high for the special day when I get to marry my bestest friend.
Miss Bubblegum has officially hit a wall. In fact, she hit it so hard that she began referring to herself in the third person.
I’ve heard other bees talk about their encounters with said wall. And I thought, “no, it won’t happen to me. I don’t even like walls. I’ll just stay outside all day and avoid them altogether.”
… But the walls are everywhere … *dun dun…

Wedding Date: September, 2008
Blogging Since: December 7, 2007
Venue: The Desmond Hotel in Malvern, PA
About Me: Mr. Cupcake and I hit it off at a Halloween party and immediately began a long-distance relationship. After two years, he moved to my neck of the woods, and a year and a half after that, he proposed at the “place we fell in love.” I am a true perfectionist who enjoys designing and creating more work for myself, so wedding planning is my perfect outlet. Mr. Cupcake and I are both old souls, and we hope to weave that aspect of our personalities into our wedding day.
…..Ya know, the OSB: Over-Scheduled Bride.Yesterday, I ventured to the gym for the first time in about *cough, cough, static* months. What’s that? You didn’t hear me? Well, let’s just say that the packed gym bag that has been living in my car all this time had a magazine in it which I had planned to read on the elliptical….. so when I finally got…

As promised, our new photographer. Try not to wet yourself like I did when first seeing her work. Her name is Sarah K. Chen and she’s out of Southern California. To be honest, I would have flown her out from Abu Dhabi if that’s where she was based. I’m so excited, and so grateful that you all convinced me to go with my heart! I’m…

Engagement Date: May 2007
Wedding Date: August 2008
Blogging Since: December 6, 2007
Venue: Victorian Mansion
About Me: Despite the fact that I’ve invested many long years of my life studying the sciences in college, I’m glad to be out of there and I would never do it again! I’m super artsy at heart - I run an indie craft site, I grew up shooting and developing my own film, doing jazz and ballet, and the whole gamut of art classes. I’ve been called a Jane of all Trades… but I was also told many years ago not to make my passion my career because it’d suck the fun out of it. Hence my choice of day job. We live in Seattle but are having our wedding in Canada to be fair to all our family and friends.
This summer I stumbled upon a small, unassuming bridal shop called Vancouver Bridals that I believe still bore the signage of the previous clothing boutique and was not technically open at the time. It looks like the Macdonald and Broadway area of Kitsilano is slowly getting wedding fever - there’s another bridal shop that opened up across the street, Bride to Be, and along with cupcakes, the…

About Me: Mr. Magnolia and I are thrilled to be planning an evening, winter wedding for 200 people in Atlanta. We both work in politics and share a love of University of Georgia football, pop culture, and good food! I'm a runner who adores wedding magazines, bad reality television, and a
good glass of wine. Most of the time I like to think I'm pretty organized, but between wedding planning, house hunting, and a full-time job, I'm being put to the test!
So I thought this was kind of cute…
We have some Sex & the City fans on Weddingbee, don’t we? We have to! Who’s excited about the movie coming out this spring? Whee!!!
Okay, topic. Just a little while ago, I received an email from the HBO online store - they’re running a Valentine’s special (free shipping), and they have new items in their “Hello, Lover” shop.…

Venue: Pier Sixty, Chelsea Piers
About Me: I'm a born and raised New Yorker who loves all things crafty and artsy, food (cheese and dessert!), magazines, and shoes. I'm a power shopper always on the lookout for good deals or great quality-- sometimes I'm lucky and I find both! I love to dance and "shake what my momma gave me" but can also really enjoy a quiet night in with Mr. Canary and a good episode of Seinfeld or curl up with a good book.
Finding the perfect bridesmaids dresses proved harder than finding my wedding gown. I have six fabulous ladies in my bridal party and I wanted them all to look and feel great, thus I really cared about what they thought of the dresses they would be wearing. Since they were paying for them, I really thought that it was only fair that they genuinely liked the…

Venue: Imperia Hotel (modern chic hotel)
About Me: I am a passionate designer who loves anything pretty. I heart all paper products (eco-friendly of course). My passion revolves around anything considered glamour; vintage and modern. In my free time, I love reading Martha mags, designing jewelry and making a pit-stop at Starbucks for a chai latte. I'm also a chocoholic at heart and my family drools over my homemade truffles.
I heart being different, original and I love making a statement. So obviously my bling… oops… I mean my wedding ring is no exception to this rule. Just looking back at what type of engagement ring I got from Mr.Flamingo, you can see that I’m no ordinary gal. I heart big rings, or should I say huge rings, so when it came time to choose what…

I’ll make a deal with you guys. I coin, you circulate:
rock slide

the surreptitious re-positioning of an engagement ring, for purposes of improved display
When Coco realized the man chatting her up was actually hitting on her, she quickly pulled a rock slide.
garter snake

a creepy single guy who tries to catch the bride’s garter in hopes of sliding it up the leg of an attractive bridesmaid
