Wedding Blog
The next sentence is going to suck, no two ways about it. Chances are, this is my last Weddingbee post. Told you it would suck.
After this, I’m pretty much out of professional photos to show you. Sure, I could pop up a year from now with some random shot of the bathroom baskets, but that’s not how I roll, yo. My fragile ego requires that I go out with a bang - and it doesn’t get much bang-y’er than your overwhelming response to my last set of posts.
And while Mrs. Corn is onto something brilliant with her Looking Back series, my own coulda/shoulda/woulda’s wouldn’t be much help. The few cosmetic changes I’d make to our wedding are trivialities, really. I was blessed with a day of no regrets.
So while I’ll be stopping by now and again to check in on my sister bees, I’m afraid my own Weddingbee well is about dry. The heretofore unthinkable has happened: I’ve unsubscribed from my wedding blog reader, and I’m ready for the next projects in my life - nesting and writing. Anything further from me ’round these parts, and I’d be dialing it in. And you guys deserve Prime, Grade A Lovebug, or no Lovebug at all.
Wow, hey. Now I’m crying. This is what I get for being a closure addict.
Everyone gather in close and quiet, and you’ll hear the lump in my throat as I narrate one. last. time.
…about the moment when everything starts winding down. When everyone over the age of 40 has defected, everyone under the age of 40 is engaged in comically serious, drunken conversations, and you can finally dance with your new husband without a roomful of spectators:
A friend of mine has a saying: If it doesn’t involve love, or laughter, what’s the point? If I could be Mrs. Condescension for just one minute, it would be to say, remember that, when it comes to planning your wedding. If it doesn’t bring you joy, don’t buy it. If it isn’t a labor of love, don’t do it. Because it’s all over so quickly! You’ll be amazed, and if all goes well, slightly heartbroken after your wedding - it’s really unfair, how precious little time you’re given to enjoy all that hard work and expense.
So when the time comes, don’t hesitate for one second to be silly with your girlfriends…
or to be selfish with your husband…
…because your love and laughter will be contagious, and they will define the day:
You guys have had me marveling, for over a year, at the depth of warmth and support an internet community can provide. “Mindblowing gratitude” doesn’t even come close to describing what I feel, and I wish I could buzz around the whole world and hug you all, one by one. Instead, I’ll just shove down this lump in my throat and raise my champagne flute.
Here’s to the bride. Each and every one of you.

Thank you for letting us into your life. You’ll be missed!! I wish you and Mr. Lovebug the very best!
Aw, Lovey! We’re going to miss you around here! Lots of hugs and love to you and your mister! Keep in touch. 
aww mrs lovebug! now i’ve got a lump the size of texas! thanks soooo much for sharing your wedding and giving us a peek into your life. i’ve always enjoyed your posts and writing and awesomely sick witty humor. i’ll definitely miss you. good luck to you and the mister and with all the wonderful new adventures and projects ahead!
now please excuse me while i go pretend i wasn’t tearing up at work. lol.
I’ll miss my favorite Bee. I hope that you start work on another fabulous and inspirational blog sometime soon. If you wouldn’t mind letting me in on the link, PM or email me, I would love to follow along.
Gahh! Lovebug! I’ll miss you! You’re SO what turned me on to Wedding Bee…thank you!
Oh Mrs. Lovebug, say it ain’t so! Thank you for letting us come along for the wonderful ride. We’ll miss you!!!
You gave me goosebumps! I wish you nothing but the best.
Cheers! It has been a fantastic journey following your fluttering wings. Thank you for being so inspirational and such a joy to read. May your nesting and writing life be even more amazing. *hugs*
Thank you for your inspiration. I’m not ashamed to say I stole a few ideas from your posts (lomographic camera table!). Good luck in married life and in everything that you do. Your wedding was beautiful!
Aw, Mrs. LB! I’m all sniffly at work. I’ll miss you and your posts, and I wish you the very best of everything that life has to offer.
I’m sure my fiance won’t miss you though, what with my declarations of, “Oh my gosh, you HAVE to see what Lovebug posted!”
Good luck and lots of warm thoughts to you and the mister!
love you! you’re the best, I wish you the best. If you have a ‘nesting’ blog, I’d love to follow you there, too! So many detailed, great ideas!
As you were posting your wedding pictures, I was in the last week until my wedding. I have to say, my excitment grew because of your recaps. And my wedding was everything I could have imagined because of the love and laughter radiating through your pictures. That IS the most important part of a wedding.
Good luck to you Lovebug!!
Oh Lovebug, we’ll miss you so much! That was a perfectly sweet post, full of love and cuteness. Keep in touch, love.
Awww so sweet! Do you have a personal blog that we can follow along with?
I was telling my fiance something about your wedding, and I began, “I have this friend . . . ” That’s when it dawned on me that, even though we’ve never met, I feel that you are a kindred spirit. Your off-line (real-life) friends are lucky, indeed. Thank you so much for sharing your plans, your day, and yourself with all of us, dear friend.
With Affection,
Julie
No. What?
Sigh. Yeah. You’re probably right… but it still hurts.
Before you flutter off, I have to let you know that I just didn’t like you in January when you “came back” (but first appeared, to me) with your fancy engagement pictures and your wit and whatnot. I avoided your posts. This new kid? Not interested. But somewhere down the line you sucked me in and I started hanging on your every post… and I went back and read your old posts, and you became one of my favorite bees.
Best of luck to you and Mr. Lovebug. We all know you’re an excellent writer, and I suspect that you’ll make a most excellent momma some day to some lucky little Lovebugs.
Maybe this will help me wean off of this last wedding blog, myself…
Noooooo! Sorry, I don’t mean to fight your closure process. I think it’s great that you are moving on to new adventures. Thank you for all the you have brought to Weddingbee. You will be missed.
NOOOOOO!!!!! Don’t go! First Mrs Petunia, now you … I can’t cope with all this blogging abandonment.
But, I will accept your decision. You’re a wise ol’ bug, so I know you’ve thought this through. But please … reconsider. We all love hearing from you … not because we all desperately need to know how to create a bathroom basket (although that helps), but because of all the wonderful things you say about life, love and everything in between.
Please try and drop back in if anything exciting happens. This is just when it starts to get interesting … after all, the wedding isn’t the end … it’s just the beginning.
NOOOOOOO!!!! What will we do without our favorite bug? Now that you’ve gotten us all addicted to your writing style, you at least have to promise and let us know when there’s more to read somewhere - whether its your next best-seller, or another fun blog.
Good luck in all that you do - you’re a wonderfully talented writer and an inspiration. Enjoy your nest and good luck feathering it! You will be greatly missed. Thank you for sharing so openly and warmly…. xo
Bye Mrs. Lovebug, you will be missed! Thanks for all of the great wedding ideas and cute projects you posted over the last few months. I looked forward to your posts more than any other bee for your humor and creativity (no offense other bees!).
Your wedding was so inspirational to all of us! Congratulations on your beautiful wedding, and I hope that you have many more beautiful things in your life to come.
Waaaah! Mrs. LB… I could have cried reading that post. So sad. Well, best of luck in everything. Enjoy nesting and married life.
I am so sad to see you go, but wish you and Mr. Lovebug nothing but the best in whatever is next. You were my first bee crush and I will really, really miss following you on here (sniff). If you have another blog you’re moving onto or anything else you write that you can share with me, please PM me and let me know where to find you. Wedding stuff aside, I really love your writing style and would love to keep up with whatever is next for you. Thanks for the inspiration! (and note that I only used one exclamation point when I wanted to use three)
I feel like I have lost a friend. sigh. You will be missed dearly by everyone, but especially by your Tucson brides. Yours was the first post I read on Weddingbee -14 months ago.
Nothing but love to you and Mr. LB. (and if you change your mind and need a wedding fix, mine isn’t till October…) I’ll be looking for your name on bookshelves soon!
Oh, this is the worst part of Weddingbee. At some point it has to be over - but I feel like I’m losing a friend in you. If I can write about my wedding half as emotionally, humorously and lovingly as you did yours, then all your hard work aint been in vain for nothin’. Good luck with everything, and be as blissfully happy as I know you will bee.
Oh *high five*. What a great way to go out. We (of course, no duh) will totally miss reading your posts, but onto bigger and better things.
Don’t let the withdrawal bee too tough Mrs. LB!
I wish you the best of luck to you and Mr.Lovebug. You have been an inspiration for many including me (i had a typewriter - a vintage typewriter in my wedding and was thinking of you)
I will miss you around the hive… but I understand why you are saying your last goodbyes. turning the page in your life book is a great way to start a new chapter. Concentrate on you… but don’t forget us.
love you and your funny posts. I will miss reading your witty writing skills.
xox
Mrs. Flamingo 
Best wishes to the Lovebugs.
Like so many others I loved reading your posts and enjoyed style of writing.
You will be so very missed.
You will be sorely missed…none of our words have ever been as eloquent as yours and it was truly an honor to have blogged along with you, Mrs. Lovebug.
Thank you so very much for the months and months of giggling in front of my computer like a lunatic.
Best wishes and tons of luck for your future as a Mrs.
You’ve inspired me so much… I always looked forward to reading your posts. You are a class A woman! Your wedding was so beautiful and I always got choked up reading your posts, even shed a tear with with this one. You will be missed!
I am so sad you will be leaving. I too feel like i am losing a friend! I have enjoyed reading everyone of your posts (even went back and read the early ones) and seeing the look of total joy, happiness and love on your face in your wedding photos. Thank you for making me laugh and cry. Wedding Bee really helped me get through my wedding planning….so Thank you and best of luck to you and Mr. LB.
Your missed already! Your post gave me chills and tears! Best wishes to you and Mr. LB! Thanks for sharing your journey!
Now you are making me cry!
Although I am incredibly sad at your departure, I understand that you and Mr. LB are starting a new chapter in your book of life. I just want to thank you for letting us into your lives. I loved reading your witty and inspirational posts.
Enjoy your nesting and married life, but I hope that that goodbye is not farewell!
Congratulations and best wishes to you and your lovebug as your lives truly entwine. You have me in tears. Beautifully put.
oh no, the wedding can’t be over! what about the red garter saloon??
I can’t think of anything poignant to say, except that I’ll miss you terribly 
YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!! Great post — a perfect topper to your many great posts!! Best of luck for a long and happy married life!
thanks for everything!
Thank you, Mrs. LB for all your insight, wisdom and humor.
It was great having you as a comic relief and resource all at the same time while planning and finally, executing my wedding.
I wish you all the best to you and your new husband and the family of four legged (and winged?!) friends. Hopefully, you’ll let us know how you are doing somewhere down the road and maybe we’ll see you somehow on the flip side.
Farewell!
It’s funny - your wedding is the exact opposite of what I (think!) want in terms of the look (I’m much more casual), and yet it’s one of my favorites to look at. Your joy and creativity comes through with every post, and I know that when I’m planning my wedding, I will look back at ALL of the Lovebug posts for inspiration. Congratulations, and I’m also happy to see someone ending their wedding obsession on a high note.
Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with us readers! I will miss the laugh out loud moments I often have when reading your posts, but at some point we all must move on to the next stage of our life. So I wish you much love, laughter and success in all your future endeavors! We’ll miss you tons!
Thank you for sharing such awe-inspiring posts! Please stop back and let us know where and when we can read your book. I, like many here, have become addicted to your writing!
AW this post gave me goosebumps.
Oh crap! I’ve laughed and cried on a regular basis reading your posts. I understand why you’re ducking out but if I had to guess…I think that you..”just dialing it in” would still be pretty darn good. Keep us posted on your whereabouts on the web and let us know when your book comes out. I wish you and your new husband all of the very best that life has to offer!
oh, ms. lovebug…you have been my fave. your grasp of language and detail was really amazing. thank you for all of the little bits of inspiration. good luck to you.
You will be missed, Mrs. Lovebug. Good luck with whatever life brings you.
a cheers * raising the glass * to you!!! we are so going to miss all of your wonderful posts! thanks for keeping us well informed and entertained!
This is a sad day in the hive.
You will surely be missed around here.
Just so you know, it is because of you that I will be having wine and chocolate during my wedding ceremony. And it doesn’t get much better than that.
Best of luck in your future endeavors.
I reallllllllly love your posts. I always look forward to them. I will really miss reading them. If you start any new blogs, please let us know! You’re an exellent writer.
aw, I have sure enjoyed reading your posts..we’ll miss you. Best wishes!
Lovebug, you have me in tears now, too. Just know that I will continue to look back consistently on your old posts as I plan my wedding, and I wish you the best in life - nesting and writing. Big hugs!
You are awesome, and will be missed greatly by the Bee Community. Best of luck to you and Mr. LB!
Was it something we said?! *tear* So sad, I logged on today, wondering why we hadn’t heard from you in I don’t know like 4 days (too long for me) and we get this. I am so sad, I feel like we were just getting started with the recaps. But like the others said, you’re a smart lovebug and I’m sure you have your reasons, but it doesn’t mean that we have to agree with them!!! I MISS YOU ALREADY!!!!!!!!
Ugh. I wish you weren’t going. But at the same time you gave me a little kick in the pants. My wedding was over a month ago and I just can’t break these wedding blog habits. Maybe its time.
BUT, as many others have mentioned I adore your writing style and would love to hear more - so please keep us updated on whatever is next that we can follow along with…
I wish you all things wonderful:)
Did you really have to say goodbye? I guess so.. :-(.. You will be missed, your wedding was beautiful, your writing eloquent, wry, warm, witty all at once. And when I want a good laugh.. I am going back to the Best Worst Cry face ever
good luck for everything. take care!
You are the best. Please write a book so I can buy it and read it!
You will be very missed around here. Best wishes for a very love-filled life with your very own Mr. LB!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful wedding with us. You’ll be missed. Be happy.
I would like to join in on the big GROUP CRY.. BOO HOOOOO! Thank you so much for sharing your spirit, life and wedding with all of us. It was a joy to read your posts and feel the joy and love of your special day. We will miss you greatly (as you can see), and wish you all the best in the future! Cheers to you and Mr. Lovebug!
I am here sitting at work and I along with you am filler with tears!!! I can not wait for the day to see phots such as the ones above with my family!!!! Congradulations! and Good Luck with all that life has in store for the Lovebug family
Mrs. LB, thank you so much for sharing not only your wedding, but your wedding wisdom! Please come back and tell us when your book is published, so we can all buy 10 copies
Ah, Lovebug, we all have to move on, don’t we? Thanks for this touching final post - what a beautiful collection of photos. I got choked up at work! I wish you and Mr. Lovebug all the joy in the world, and hope to encounter your witty, thoughtful writing voice in another forum one of these days.
Oh no! Don’t leave us!! Have another wedding! A vow renewal! Ok…I guess I’ll have to accept the fact that your wedding blogging is over but just let me pout a little longer…
Dear Mrs. Lovebug,
I can’t remember what post is was exactly that made me fall in love with you, your wit and most importantly your writing. However, I do remember on that fateful day clicking and reading all your posts in one sitting. I remember thinking to myself, that I loved your style of writing more than anything. I think you have a truly wonderful gift and I feel honored to have gotten the chance to experience it. I hope you will continue to write and be published as I would love to read more. Thank you for allowing us to take part in your journey. I find that you have taught me to appreciate small things, to enjoy a theme, to embrace a theme, to appreciate the beauty of little things, to appreciate the people in your life and to appreciate good writing. I feel from you, I have seen the importance of a ceremony, saying words that come from your heart and not just letters on a page. I appreciate that you have shown how a wedding can be fun and elegant at the same time. A wedding ceremony can be full of character and love all at once. And most importantly, that a wedding is just truly about you and the one you love. I wish you well in all your future endeavors. So for you, Mr. Lovebug, Chaucer and Oliver, I wish you all the best!
I’m not liking this at all. Not.at.all. How will I feed my Lovebug addiction? Seriously, your writing is somethin’ else and I really did enjoy it. Lots of luck in the future!
Thanks for everything, Mrs. LB! All the best to you and the Mr.
i was engaged in dec’06 and married in feb’08. somewhere in between i discovered your posts (pre and post “sabatical”). best wishes to your future and thanks for sharing.
Mrs. Lovebug,
I started reading weddingbee when I was a bride - I’m also a photographer and keep up with wedding-related things even though I’m a Mrs. now. I continue to read weddingbee b/c I think its a great community and the posts are entertaining! I just have to tell you that for some reason, I always come back to your posts - now, my time as a bride is over, but your posts are just wonderful. I wish you much success as a writer and as a wife Its great being on the other side!
i am certain there is nothing more that i can add that hasn’t already been expressed above.
you’ve been awesome….i mean that….with tears in my eyes…..
thank you for EVERYthing. you’ve impacted many of our lives by sharing yours with us.
Weddingbee will not be the same without you, your posts are what bring me here week after week. Thank you for letting us into your life and for sharing your wonderful words and wit with us for all of these months- you will be truly missed. Best wishes to all that the future holds for you and the Mr.- I’m sure it will be infused with that trademark Lovebug spirit through and through.
I’m really going to miss you around here, you witty thang, you. I would wish you and your hubby huge amounts of happiness, but it’s obvious you’ll have a lifetime of happiness no matter what we say. Good luck with your writing & everything, you’re going to be a huge success. The readers & bees here love your style & advice, and I’m sure your book would be a bestselling hit Take care, dearie! xoxo
Those two pictures of you and Mr. Lovebug are so beautiful, very touching! You’ll be missed!!
Now I am crying…. Thank you so much for sharing your day with us! It was absolutely beautiful and wish you many more beautiful days in the future with your Mr.
I know you are not going to post any more, but maybe when you finish your book you could just drop a quick post and let us know where to find it, thank you, miss you already.
I’ve loved your posts. You look so lively and pretty in the photos with your friends at the wedding!
I’m intrigued with the mention of your husband’s career as game show contestant. Can you please elaborate?
*raises glass* Cheers to you, Lovebug!
We’ll miss you here! I wish you the best!
Lovebug, you’ve been an inspiration! I will echo the sentiments of the other readers in saying, “I am a fan.” I will miss your wit and your “ugly” pictures that made me laugh so hard I fell out of my chair and had my roomie looking at me like I was nuts. I’ll miss your sincerity and your indecision over where to put your typewriter keys. I only hope that my book-themed wedding goes off half as well as yours! You are lovely!
All the best to you and Mr. LB!
Hoolie
I wish you all the best, Mrs. LB.
I adored reading your posts! Thank you thank you thank you!
Farewell, my favourite bee! I am 100% confident I’ll be reading your writing again somewhere in the future. I wish you a very happy marriage and years of well-deserved success as a writer.
it has been a pleasure reading and watching your wedding day unfold…goodluck writing and nesting….
Ciao bella! You have brought us all much joy and I wish you well.
And when your first book gets published, be sure and send up the Lovebug Signal so we can all reserve our advanced copy… and try to snag an invite to the launch party ’cause you throw a helluva good shindig!
*gulp*
fare ye well! We knew this time would come… (actually I’d kinda hoped there’d be some way around it–like wb needing another editor or something)
But please DO tell us where else we can peek in on your life & listen to your wit!!! (ha! 3 exclamation points!) You’ve got a well-built audience over here, more than a few of whom I bet would buy any magazine you write for and definitely any book you author, let alone read any other blog you contribute to. Count me among them!
Your words are an inspiration! I’m so sad to see you go… Best luck to you & the Mr. & the fam!
You will be missed. I wish you all the best in the next stage of your life! You’re going out like Seinfeld — with a bang!
I cannot begin to tell you how inspiring your posts have been. I keep returning to them when planning my own wedding- but not for the typical reasons- your posts remind me that a wedding is about a lot more than a color scheme and a pretty dress- and I absolutely love your voice. Please pm me and let me know if you’re going to be keeping up another blog. I feel like i’m losing a very wise friend.
Ditto. You will be missed here, but I wish you all the best in what is to come, and I do hope you’ll share your (inevitably wildly successful) writing projects with us so that we can all keep reading.
You are my favorite, inspiring Bee! You will be missed- all the best to you and your hubby
Oh, Lovebug! Best wishes to you as you embark on new endeavors. I’ve la-la-loved reading your posts over the months and I can’t wait to see what gem of a writing project you have percolating. Plus your senses of style and humor are inspired. Here’s looking at you, kid!
*Sniff* I, and I’m sure others on here, love the way you use words so please let us know when you get anything published! Many virtual hugs to you and your hubby.
I only just found this site, and was immediately drawn to your posts, and yours alone. I started at the beginning and read through them all (while at work!). I’m a sucker for correct grammar and clever titles. And, because of your posts, my own wedding planning has much more purpose and continuity. I didn’t know where to go with a pale pink dress, bridesmaids in grey, a love for all things vintage, and a groom who brought home an old typewriter, saying he wanted to incorporate it into the wedding somehow. I kid you not. Thanks for giving me a bit of direction.
I am wondering if you’re parting with the silver items in your centerpieces - the trays, teapots, coffee pots, and odd containers? I’d love to use them.
Thanks again. I’m mostly sorry that I just found your posts, and now you’re leaving. Best wishes to you and the man.
oh no! it can’t be over yet. you kept me busy at work when i didn’t want to do work hehe. thank you for sharing all of your wedding plans and your pictures. you are my inspiration!
best wishes to you and your hubby!
I’ll agree with everyone that posted above me, you will be missed! I always got so excited to see your name and little icon posted up there. Best of luck in all your projects!
you are so going to be missed. even though you may not be coming back to blog - i hope you know others (like me) will be re-visiting your old blog posts for years to come. You were truly one of my fave bees (and not just because I am your dress twin!) and it is beautiful to see you go out with so much style and sophistication. good luck with everything and thank you for the glimpse you’ve given us into your sweet life. xoxo.
Wow, beautiful, elegant and poignant. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us– and won’t you please pop by to share more info about the “writing” you plan on doing now? I would love to see your work in other venues. All the best!
sad….
We will all miss you so much MRS Lovebug! Thanks for being such a great bee and such a great inspiration to all of us…
Good luck with every thing you do and I can’t wait to read your book….even though I won’t be a bride any more.
your blog was my favorite. from a wannabe writer to a true writer…your words are lovely. your wedding was a vision. and you seem like a kick-ass kinda girl.
good luck to ya! and i will give credit where it’s due when i borrow some of your fabulous ideas
Wow. What did I ever do to deserve so much love? Seriously.
Believe me, as addicted as you guys were to reading my blog, I was equally addicted to writing it. Which is why I did it as often and as well as I could. But it wouldn’t have been the same without all the laughter and encouragement in your comments, which urged me on to every new post. I think all of that made for a “perfect storm” of blogging.
I’m sure I’ll start a new blog something soon, but in the meantime, you guys are more than welcome to add me as a Flickr contact to stay in touch. I’ll post the link to any new blog on my profile there. User name: Lucky Snap. Just don’t laugh at my stumbling attempts at photography. =)
Okay, I already posted once, but I just had to say that I am in awe of how you and Mr LB did your wedding your way, no apologies. You are my inspiration everytime I make a decision that may rock the wedding boat. You carried off your new traditions beautifully. Thank you for showing us that you don’t need some one to walk you down the aisle, or to have a wedding party, or to have the perfect family to have a beautiful wedding celebration. Thank you thank you.
Good luck to you and your husband! Thanks for all your amazing posts!
I just started reading this site recently…Just wanted to say I’ve enjoyed your posts immensely. You’re a gifted writer and I wish you lots of love and laughter always.
Sad ta see you go. Let us know what you are up to… at least one post a year? Pweeze?
NOOO! Really? Are you sure it’s time?! Look how loved you are! Truly a lovebug. I will miss you and best of luck to you and your exciting new chapter in life. XOXO
PS I read this post earlier today at work, and didn’t have time to respond, and I am amazed at how many more people have responded since! You have resonated with so many here!
Noooo, say it ain’t so!!!!! You really made me tear up, I enjoyed reading you so much and can’t believe how quickly the time passed. Enjoy your new chapter, you deserve it, and I can’t wait to hear about the great things that you are moving onto. You’ll surely be missed!
I don’t comment often on here but I have to say that you are one memorable bee. There was much about your wedding, your writing, your posts that kept me entertained. Or rather, it was your personality that shined through everything. Best of luck to you and your hubby.
This sucks for us but its great that you’re moving on the the next phase. I’ve been married 5 months and I’m still here!Please please keep us updated if you’re blogging somewhere else
I am so sad to read this post. I login each day just to see if you’ve blogged and get so excited when you do. I am not going to lie, I will be in withdrawal. You have an amazing style of writing, I just love you to pieces! Please check in with us on writings that you finish or baby blogs, or whatever it is, I will read it for sure. Your humble fan.
Dammit Lovebug you made me cry!! Your posts have gotten me through a lot of months of out-to-seas and this current deployment of my man- you had such a beautiful wedding, and an even more beautiful personality. You will be missed <3
Well darling, it’s ado and we will miss you. I had gotten my family and several of my friends totally involved in your posts!
I would love to see the next chapters of your life unfold on some other blog!!!
Awwwww will really miss your posts, Lovebug… And I am reading from all across the world from you guys!! Loved reading about your wedding, and all your crafts *HUGS* Best of luck for everything!
I think I’m going to cry…
thank you for everything. you are a true inspiration to brides and women everywhere. your entertaining, engaging, well-written, intelligent and completely heart-warming posts will be missed.
nothing but the warmest wishes
what a beautiful exit post. Thank you so much for sharing this time with us, and as everyone’s posts have already made clear, it will not be the same without you! Best of luck in all your future endeavors!
It has been such a joy following along with you and the hive will never be the same! Thank you for sharing your lives with us and I look forward to reading all about your next life endeavors, if not here, hopefully on another blog! Best of luck in love and life to you both Mr and Mrs L!
Your wickedly funny and witty posts will urely bee missed. The hive will just not be the same w/out the lovebug. Thanks for always being inspiring and sharing this special time in your life.
I am so sad to see you go! Your wedding was absolutely gorgeous, and I hope that the rest of your life is just as magical with your husband (I have a feeling that the best is yet to come for you two!).
Thank you for making me laugh when I needed it most - damn that wedding stress! - and for sharing your wedding details with us. You will be missed. Fair well fair lady.
I have become a big fan of your posts, mRs. lovebug, increasingly so with each post after your wedding day passed. Each time I opened up weddingbee, I found that I was looking forward to reading your reflections and the re-cap of the special moments that made the day for you. I am glad to see that you listed writing among your plans for the future, because you truly are gifted at connecting with others in that form. Best of luck to you, and thanks so much for sharing.
Like everyone else here, I will also miss your thoughtful and witty presence on this site. Good luck in your future endeavors
I got a little teary eyed at that I must say! I have really enjoyed reading your posts- you’re an eloquent writer and you planned and pulled off a beautiful wedding. I hope the rest of us are as lucky. Best wishes for your future!
You are one of my favorite bees Mrs. LB. I will miss reading your posts but as we all get to our own big day and beyond, things have to change. Your posts made me really think about how I want my wedding to “feel” as well as “look”. Best of luck to you both.
I actually almost cried at work while reading your farewell. I have only started reading weddingbee over the past few months and always looked forward to your posts. Thank you for sharing your wedding details and for providing us with laugher and inspiration. You are a beautiful bride and an equally beautiful writer.

Wow Lovebug, that actually made me tear up!! I’ve been hoping this day wouldn’t come. But alas, it has and I must learn to cope. Be sure to let us know when your book is published, because I know I’ll have to have it! Your writing and unique wit are simply addictive. You’re talented and beautiful, your wedding was lovely, and you’ve got one lucky Mister. So with the fondest farewell, I return the toast… Here’s to you Lovebug!

[...] Love and Laughter and a Fond Farewell by Mrs. Lovebug [...]
I feel like one of my best friends is moving away! Good luck with your future endeavors and know that you made an impact on a great many lives through your wit, humor and overwhelming sense of caring.
oh no, i’m going to miss you so much!!! i have loved loved loved your posts, your creativity, your inspiration, your humor, your writing. thank you so much for sharing everything and doing so in such a beautiful and poetic way. everyone is going to miss you so incredibly much. heart!!!
I know I’m repeating what’s been said at least a dozen times, but I feel like a dear friend is moving across the ocean. I wish you the very best in life, love, and your latest endeavors, and I look forward to hearing of your success in each of these arenas. I imagine that as soon as a Bee (or Bee Reader) has word of your web activity elsewhere, it will be a bit like a rock star sighting–word will travel fast, and your readers will quickly follow you on to your next adventure. Thanks for the love, laughter, and inspiration!
Gosh, Mrs. Lovebug. Wow. I’m so sorry to read you write good-bye, because you have been such a witty, honest, and wonderful inspiration to us all. I just returned from my honeymoon, and wanted to catch up on the things I missed out on, and felt crushed to read your reports were over. What a wonderful testament to the work you’ve done for your own wedding, and for the work you’ve done in sharing all your lessons with us. You are an amazing writer, and so I can only wish you the best on your future endeavors, and just thank you for all your contributions to the Weddingbee world and beyond. The best lessons you taught me in planning my own wedding were to make sure I was having fun with it, to give myself permission to add in as much of ourselves and our humor no matter how silly or unconventional, and to never look back with regrets, but only with joy and satisfaction. Thank you for that. I look through your photos with such a smile, because I see how fantastically happy you and Mr. L are. Congratulations, Mrs. Lovebug, and all the best!
–gah–let me just wipe this little tear away…
thanks. thanks for writing so wonderfully warmly and openly. thanks for your sense of humor.
you will be missed.
i wish you the best in your writing endeavours and in married life.
I’m newish to weddingbee so I only caught you’re last couple of posts. They left me wanting to learn more about lovebug.
I just went through all of your postings from beginning to end over the last two days at work (I know, I should be fired). I must say that it was wonderful. I felt like I was reading a well written novel one of my girlfriends whipped up. I enjoyed experiencing your journey even though I missed the boat the first time around. Your wedding was gorgeous, your writing kept me laughing and your honesty humbled me. Please check back in to let us know where your nesting and writing has taken you.
Ditto on everything everyone has already said! Your humor reminds me of my friend Amy…(wow, if you two ever met, it’d be all shades of craziness!), and I loved reading about your unique and thoughtful ideas. I’ve already passed your blog on to several friends and brides-to-be, and know that you will continue to be an inspiration on WeddingBee for years to come.
*Cheers* to your next chapter!
