Weddingbee

Hi, I’m new to the Bee! I am in Tampa, FL, and my wedding date is Nov. 19, 2010! I know that’s a ways away, but we are getting house this year and have to set priorities! Also, November 19 is the anniversary of when we first started dating, and it falls on a Friday that year, so it’s perfect for us.

I became a weddingbee addict as soon as I found the site - I love it! I currently live in Providence, RI and my fiance and I are planning a August 2008 wedding.

Thanks to all the bees and posters for your great ideas and help!

Well I have been reading Wedding Bee now for about 8 months. I love reading about other brides journey through this time of change. I hail from DC where I was born and raised. I am getting married in May 2008 whewhoo! How do you spell whewhoo anyway? I perpetual digress:( Anyway something funny about me. I am a total spaz, I knew that whoever married me had to have a good since of humor. So after a couple of dates I tested my fiance by doing the widget which is a dance I made up. It involves doing the running man and then jumping up while twisting your body. I look really silly doing it but everyones laughs which make me happy. Anyway my fiance totally loved it and took pictures. Aww…true love

Hi everyone, I have been reading for awhile (since before I got engaged but shhhh..) and I have posted on the message boards. But I am from CT and got engaged this past October on a beautiful hike. We are getting married October 19 of this year (one year, to the Sunday from our engagement date) in a mansion in Brookfield, CT. I can’t wait!! Thanks for all your inspiration and keep up the awesome work ladies!!!

Hello, I am quite new around here, although I have been blogging since July last year. I live in England

We got engaged on Christmas Eve last year (very romantic!) and we’re getting married in November.

I am completely addicted to Weddingbee and sooooo glad I found it

I am located in Michigan and have been addicted to the site for the past two months. Its such an amazing resource….thank you!

We got engaged three months ago and are getting married on October 3, 2008

I’ve been reading for a couple months now. We got engaged on Christmas day last year and are getting married May 2, 2009, here in Nashville, TN.

Hi,
I’ve been reading Weddingbee for a while. I got so many great ideas and money saving tips while I was planning my own wedding. I will be married 2 years this May and I’m still addicted to this site!

My husband and I met while I was living in NYC. Now we live in NJ with our golden retriever and are expecting our first baby this June.

One of my husband’s hobbies is beekeeping. So we make our own honey and recently got into creating homemade cosmetics.

I’ve been reading for about a month.

I live in Buffalo, NY, trying to plan a wedding in my hometown of Cleveland, OH. We got engaged last September, and I’m planning a July 2009 wedding. Long engagement, but we just bought a house and have alot of other things going on.

I love this site- I had kind of resigned myself to the fact that I would not be a bride who could plan, coordinate, make invitations, decide on centerpieces, or pick out a dress. A few weeks of reading weddingbee and I am totally obsessed! I love reading all the stories and ideas… and can’t wait to get started!!

Anyone else getting married July 4? Are you incorporating any patriotic themes into your wedding?

I’ve been reading for a few months
I live in Enterprise, AL, been engaged for a year and getting married July 12, 2008!

Hi, I’m Jilian from Blacksburg Va. (go HOKIES) I was married April 28, 2007. Unfortunately I didn’t discover the ‘hive’ until after my wedding!! Even so - I’m addicted. All this inspiration makes me want to have another wedding! Hmm… or start hosting lots and lots of parties!

i, too, became addicted the moment i found weddingbee. it’s always open in my browser.

we got engaged in september 2007 & our wedding date is september 13, 2008. our dating anniversary is also in september, so september is an important month for us!

we live in huntsville, al & will be getting married here also. i was excited to see another alabama bride - hi erin j.!

Hi! I’m Miss Peng and I love the Ladies! I represent Sacramento….Sac Town the Mack Town!

Hi! I’ve been reading for about a week or two and I wish I had found this place sooner! I live in New York City with my wonderful husband to be. We got engaged in December and we’re getting married at the end of August in South Jersey. I’ve been loving sorting through all the good ideas people have used for their own weddings - it’s been really inspiring!

oops - our wedding date is June 20, 2009

I found weddingbee about a month ago and have been addicted ever since! It’s so much fun reading about how each bride goes through the planning process (and getting to see the wedding pictures after!). I live in NYC and am getting married in my hometown of Indianapolis in June 2009 — plenty of time for me to take on more DIY projects than can fit in my tiny Manhattan apartment!

Every morning I look forward to getting my daily dose of the weddingbee! I love this site and its been so helpful in my wedding planning!

I live in San Francisco, CA and will be getting married at a winery about 50 miles out east located in a city called Pleasanton on 11.22.08!

Been collecting wedding magazines (primarily InStyle, Martha) for who knows how long! Friends can’t poke fun of me now since my library has been on a constant rotation between friends who are getting married!

Hi -my name is Amy and I have been reading for about two weeks - it’s my new addiction Weddingbee is a wonderful wedding blog!

I got engaged in June 2007 in the Bahamas and we are getting married on September 20, 2008 in Garrison, NY. My fiance’s mom introduced us which I feel was a random way for us to meet.

Hi, I am also new. My name is Denise and I will be getting married on November 15th, 2008 in Burbank, CA. I absolutely love this blog, thank you so much. I am from CA and my fiance is from RI, so we will be a bicoastal family.

Hi to JILIAN - and also cinderellasmom - I found weddingbee while being at Virginia Tech as a visiting scholar. Must be in the air, eh?

I´m back in Germany now (I´m german) and not engaged yet - but I´m working on it ;o)

Weddingbee is my guilty pleasure. Residing in OC, California. Been engaged and reading Weddingbee since June 2007 (the last day of June technically). FI knows when it’s quiet, I’m reading Weddingbee. We’re just starting to plan our late spring/early summer 2009 wedding. So excited! Hello to all the bees, bloggers and readers!

Hi! I got engaged on Christmas Eve to my best friend, and one of my friends told me about weddingbee. It’s great, and I’m addicted!

We are currently in the early stages of planning the wedding, which will be on July 25, 2009 in the city we both grew up in/the greatest city in the world- Chicago. =)

Ciao Ciao!

We’re from the big apple and getting married this June =) We like to goof around and make “bets”…. I lost the first one and owed FI a 16 course meal - this also sparked our relationship. Throughout this time, we continued this betting tradition and FI ended up having to plan a surprise trip… about a year later… during one of the nights on the trip, he got down on one knee and proposed with a ring that he made himself. We’re incorporating this ring’s theme into our wedding. I can’t believe that our cake baker will be able to do that… we’re really excited!!! and thanks to wedding bee for all the inspiration in making our wedding even more personalized.. yes we have many many DYI projects!

I’ve been reading for a year! I got engaged last March and will get married 10/11/2008 in Tucson, AZ. Although neither my Fi or I are Hispanic, we are adding a lot of Mexican wedding tradtions to our reception to reflect the city we reside in! I heart Weddingbee!

I’m pretty new to this site and can’t believe how useful it’s been .. i think the idea of multiple authors is so great too! We got engaged last November 7, and are headed toward November 15, 2008 in fort macon/beaufort, nc for our wedding… I never knew that planning would be so much fun and that there was so much out there! I feel like I am playing catch up to all those brides that have thought about their wedding for years, so i’m glad there’s a place like this to help me

Hi, I’m from NYC and have been reading weddingbee since shortly after it began. I am constantly blown away by the Bees’ creative DIY skills, and have actually contemplated just asking the NYC bees (i.e. Mrs. Snow Pea) if I could hire them to do my DIY crafts for me. I am sooooo not crafty.

Found wedding bee shortly after our engagment 1/24/2008, thanks to my fellow brides at work. Mostly lurking since then.

Originally started planning a Sept 2008 wedding in Chicago (where we met), but a vendor screwed us over. So we scrapped that, started planning again from scratch, and are now doing a April 6 2008 wedding at FH parents’ condo in Florida. Way smaller, way cheaper, way less stress. (Planned the major components in about 24 hours.)

Can’t wait….one month from today!

hey goldtome! i live in huntsville al and am getting married on september 13th as well!! where are you getting married at?

I live in Sacramento, my wedding date is 6/7/08 and I just want my wedding to be here so I can stop with all this silly planning. Being engaged for 16 months is too long. I just want to get married, see my friends and family and get on with things!

Hi! I’ve been reading Weddingbee since I got engaged last April. I thought I had a long engagement, 11 months, but it has flown by and I’m getting married in 8 days!!!! I am sooooo excited. We’ve been planning a 3-day wedding weekend in my home town of Santa Barbara, it’s hard to believe it is almost here.

I had my first wedding nightmare last night . . . long story short, I had big huge 80’s crimped hair! It was horrific.

I’ve been lurking here for a couple of months, and am so grateful to have found it.

The Man and I live in Pasadena, CA, and we’re getting married here on 10/11/08. I kind of love that our 4 year anniverssary will be on 10/11/12 He proposed to me in the Globe theater in London this past September and I kicked into planner mode almost immediately. I’ve done this once before (marrying the right one this time) and I really enjoy party planning.

Hey there. I’ve been totally addicted for the past month! I feel like I haven’t done my homework if I fall behind on your posts Got engaged last March in Santorini. My greek god and I are getting married in Newport in September on the beach and we live outside of DC. Thanks for all of the helpful tips and links!

I’m getting married in Boston on May 23, 2009. We got engaged at a party during a tango dance– my fiance spun me across the floor and while I was spinning, took the ring from his suit pocket and dropped to one knee. It was amazing and I still can’t believe he planned it all! So many of our friends and part of his family were there, and that made it so special.

With all the inspiration and help from weddingbee, I’m sooo ready for our big day!

I have been reading weddingbee far two often since I discovered it in January…I check it a million times a day. We live in Cleveland and will be getting married here on 10/18/08. We are having a Halloween-themed wedding and are making our own invitations thanks to weddingbee links!

I’m from Boston and have been reading Weddingbee for a while. We got married in July 2006. And we’re expecting baby #1 in August! I love to see what’s going on with the new crop of bees and I refer friends who are engaged/planning weddings here all the time!

I think I stumbled on the Hive about a month ago and have been religiously reading & posting ever since! I live in Manhattan and getting married this July in North Jersey. At work I tend to do a lot of my wedding research and I found the knot to be frustrating b/c all the useful info was in the knottie bios and there isn’t a very good way to search through them. Alas, weddingbee has saved me and gives me inspiration every week! Thank you to everyone who contributes to the boards and of course to the faithful Bees who post about their wedding planning lives to help poor souls like me!

Hi bees! I’ve been around here lurking/stalking/admiring for a while. the screen name is pronounced Brown Eyed Girl, fyi.

My FI and I are UCLA Bruins who got engaged Christmas Eve of 06! We’ll be getting married in Sept. of 09. LONG LONG engagement. =)

That’s okay…it gives me more practice time for my DIY insanity.

Like most others, I’ve been reading for a few months. It’s definitely become an addiction - I check a few times a day usually! My FH knows not to try and lure me away from the computer when he sees the bee on the page

We’ve been engaged since September 07, and will be getting married at a local winery in October 08. We’ll have been together almost 5 years by the wedding. We’re both from Southwestern Ontario, currently living in London, Ontairo. I don’t think I’ve run into any other Londonites here?

Hello! I live in Chattanooga, TN, but am from the Chicago area, and we are having our wedding back home in IL in my grandparents’ backyard on July 26, 2008. I check up on Weddingbee almost daily!

Hello!
I’ve been hooked on the Wedding Bee for a few months now. My FH and I live in NYC, and are getting married June 28 in Philadelphia - where I grew up and where all of my family lives.
As a result of my time reading Wedding Bee, I’ve taken on a whole slew of DIY projects after being inspired:)

My name is Stacie and I recently discovered The Weddingbee searching for Wedding/Event Planning blogs. I am an aspiring Wedding/Event Planner so lately I’ve been addicted to anything having to do with weddings and event planning. I love this blog and I read it daily. I love all of the neat ideas and wedding tips and reading about your experiences in the planning of your own wedding.

Hi! I’m Jennifer. I live in Norman, Oklahoma. I’m getting married on September 20, 2008 at a Girl Scout camp from my childhood. I love weddingbee, it adds perspective to the craziness to know that somewhere, many other women are going through the same stuff I am. lol

I’m guilty! I’ve been reading weddingbee even before I got engaged! We got engaged in November and have set a date for 8/2/08. We will be getting married in Sunnyvale, CA . I have incorporated a lot of ideas I’ve found from this site! I love all of the great ideas and funny posts from the bees! A huge thank you to all of the bees for sharing their ideas!

I live in Sarasota, FL. I have been (compulsively) reading WeddingBee for a few months. I’m a little embarassed to admit that I’m not engaged, or really anywhere close to it! I’ve always loved reading wedding magazines, etc. and reading the bees’ planning processes is really interesting to me. I’m also learning a lot from the various DIY projects. WeddingBee is also a great procrastination tool as I have more and more schoolwork.

Hopefully I won’t be burned out on wedding stuff whenever I do get engaged and start planning!

Hi Bees!

So great to “meet” all of you! I got engaged on December 14 and have been a religous Bee-reader ever since. We live in Boston and are planning a RI wedding in Summer 2009.

Thanks for all of the great ideas so far!

i’m a new”ish” weddingbee addict, i’ve been around on a few posts but i’m a shy commenter everytime i go near a computer my boyfriend just shakes his head and says “that wedding site again”.

i’m 19 and just WAITING to be engaged (blast college). we’ve known for a while now that we’d like to end up marrying each other but know that we’re still very young and thus the whole getting a degree/stable job/buying a house, etc. comes before our trip down the aisle.

i love this place, it’s so diverse, there’s always something interesting to be found.

to make a long story short, hi!

Hi! I posted in the old welcome post by mistake - I just stumbled across WeddingBee.com and am in love! It is great! Its the first site I go to in the morning, I am officially an addict!

So here is a little about me:

Name: Kate
Occupation: Corporate Event Planner
Residence: Boston, MA
Engagement date: October 27, 2007
Wedding Date: May 2009

A fun tid-bit - I found my gown on the Feb 22 Annual running of the brides in Boston! It was great fun! I didn’t expect to find a dress, just wanted to go for the experience - and ended up finding the perfect gown! I can not wait until 2009 - so far away!

Hi! I’ve been reading Weddingbee since June or July when I accidentally found it, and bookmarked it for future use. Then I got engaged in August (total surprise even though we’ve been together for 6 years!) and now I’m an addict! We’re getting married in Louisville, KY, in May 2009, on the roof of a local museum! We picked Louisville because it’s “neutral” territory — I’m from Maryland and he’s from Pennsylvania, but we live in Louisville now while I’m in school, so it’s a great way to show off this great city to our family and friends!

I just discovered weddingbee a few days ago, but I love it! I live in Ohio, but we are getting married in my hometown, Muskegon, MI.

I would love to hear from you sayithot, since we’re both planning a wedding in Muskegon!

I think I started reading the site in January of 2008 right after we got engaged. Our wedding date is set for May 30, 2009. My fiancee is a US Marine, currently deployed to Iraq. He’s from Fl and I’m From CA but since he’s stationed here, we’re having the wedding in CA, at his base. I love all of the DIY projects eventhough I don’t think I could manage the patience it requires to do most of them. I have gotten some really great ideas for my wedding (I hope you don’t mind me stealing them!) and I have to say that this is by FAR the best site I have come across. I love that everyone on this site is so positive and there’s no cattiness and overall everyone is supportive and constructive with their suggestions/ideas. Thank you for having this great site!

I think I might have introduced myself already…but I’m Erin, and I wanted to say hi to the other gals in Buffalo!

I’m getting married July 12 in Buffalo. I grew up in PA, but we decided planning the wedding here (where we live) would be easier for a lot of reasons.

Like many of the others have mentioned, I’m glad to have stumbled across weddingbee because everyone is generally so pleasant and helpful!

Weddingbee is awesome! i’ve been reading for about 6 months now (i was searching for a good wedding blog–this is definitely one of the best!), and i have 6 months until my wedding date. i love reading about every bride’s journey and everyone’s ideas, especailly all the DIY projects–they make your wedding so much more personal! i’m from up north in Toronto, Canada!

goldtome, i’m getting married at earlyworks museum! im so excited. im keeping my fingers crossed for good weather that day.
