I am an LDS bride attempting to plan a private religious ceremony, ring ceremony, seated reception for 100, and an open house while coordinating for guests flying in from across the United States and as far away as Poland. I try to avoid fads, excess waste, and saturated fat. I strongly endorse photography, DDR, calorie counting, rss feeds, cooking, and utilizing your resources.

Evelyn: More Sleeve Please!

August 31st, 2008 @ 4:41 pm by Mrs. Avocado

I arrived at my second fitting to find my beloved looking kind of scraggly. She was the right length now, but she had threads hanging out all over the place and was stripped of the majority of her beautiful buttons.

Unless a dress advertised to be temple ready is purchased, in most cases an LDS bride has to choose whether she wants to go with a…

About Mrs. Lemonade

Whether or not Mr. Lemonade and I decided to have a bridal party, there was one thing I was certain of — that my little sister would be standing up there alongside me on W day. Sissy and I are extremely close, which is something I am incredibly thankful for.

Ahh…Who doesn’t love Disney?

We were born 10 years, 2 months, and 2 days apart (she’s the…

Prepping the Bride

August 31st, 2008 @ 12:34 pm by Mrs. Hydrangea

I’ve spent so many weeks (and months) preparing everything for the wedding that this weekend was finally some time to prep myself. I spent my Saturday getting a much needed facial and my hair done. With only 4 weeks to go, I figured that a facial would be good at this point so my skin will be nice and clear for the wedding day.

To demonstrate…

I went to school to study Magazine Journalism, ended up with a second major in Japanese language, and now work at a company that makes software for libraries. I love writing, computers, photography, and the great outdoors. I spend most of my time playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band or geeking out online with Mr. Cherry Pie. I'm happiest when I'm on the road, especially traveling abroad, or just nesting quietly at home with my sweetie, who is a fabulous cook and bakes a delicious rendition of a certain cherry-filled dessert!

I Need a Vacation From Our Wedding

August 31st, 2008 @ 10:28 am by Mrs. Cherry Pie

We’re leaving. Leaving for Montana. And, believe it or not, my goal is not to think about our wedding until September 5th, when we rehearse. It will be hard, but not as hard as the last two weeks have been.

I’ve shouldered my burden and kept pushing on through. I’ve put on a happy face, especially when talking to others or writing for Weddingbee, where things…

Luckily, I'm 90% resourceful, creative optimist (and kooky, neurotic practicalist-if-that's-a-word for the other ten). Other than writing about our week-long celebration of family, friends, laughter and love, I adore books, shoes and… you guessed it… long walks on the beach.

He shoots… They Score!

August 30th, 2008 @ 4:45 pm by Mrs. Sea Breeze

Growing up, I remember my parents dragging my family to the Sears portrait studio every couple of years to ensure our most awkward stages of childhood were captured on film for the everlasting delight of all who saw them (Can you say pouffy bangs and pink glasses? Um, yeah, that was me).

So it seems funny to me now that, despite having been together for 5…

I am obsessed with NPR, the Food Network, paper, dance shows, Anthropologie, post-structuralist theory, Weddingbee!, "The Office," and celebrity gossip. When not procrastinating from my dissertation, I spend time catering to Jellyby, our overly anxious shih tzu, and getting to know Mr. Hot Cocoa. We have only been dating for fifteen years, so it's like I'm in love with a stranger! From the East Coast, we are planning a Jewish-Chinese Extravaganza in L.A., where we both grew up.

Ice, Ice, Baby

August 30th, 2008 @ 1:02 pm by Mrs. Hot Cocoa

Mr. Hot Cocoa and I have very different aesthetics. He’s traditional and classic; if he were a store he’d be Brooks Brothers or Falconable. If I could be a store, I’d be Anthropologie — fun and girly, with a splash of vintage. So when it came to picking out an engagement ring, Mr. HC said he would pick out the stone, but felt very strongly…

In my Philadelphia abode, I create mixed media artwork and one-of-a-kind home accessories in the company of my farmer-tanned husband, our Westiepoo (Betty White), our three rabbits (Cadbury, Willie Nelson and Applesauce) and our two frisky chinchillas (Ethel Funk and Maude).

My Disturbing Wedding Countdown

August 30th, 2008 @ 11:01 am by Mrs. Candy Corn

As the wedding date gets closer and closer, most couples have fun watching their countdowns tick down to the double, then single digits.

Some people use countdowns on sites like Facebook:

Playing Dress Up

August 29th, 2008 @ 6:04 pm by Mrs. Lemonade

Almost immediately after the proposal I started purchasing and devouring wedding magazine after wedding magazine. I was (am) completely mesmerized by all the gorgeous gowns in the magazines—their layers of tulle and silk, the lace, the origami of the fabric—all of it. I couldn’t wait to go gown shopping myself. Unfortunately, I never found time to do it. Then one particularly miserable February day (I…

I am a coffee addict, especially Starbucks' Grande Mochas, yummy! I love to cook (especially chocolate chip cookies for my honey), travel to exotic places, and be creative. As a couple, Mr. Cookie and I are extremely practical, down to earth, and children at heart. We live in a cozy abode with our adorable Pomeranian, and love to play board games and watch movies into the evening.

Second Fitting

August 29th, 2008 @ 5:38 pm by Mrs. Cookie

On Tuesday I had my second and last fitting with Mahin at Anna Bè. Although, the alterations are perfect—nothing more to be done than press the wrinkles out—I got a little lump in my throat. The women at Anna Bè felt like my girlfriends and their service was top notch. After I pick up my dress, there will be no more wandering in to say…

Found my way to the east coast, and Mr. Champagne kept me here so we're planning a wedding from afar in my hometown Vail, Colorado. I'm secretly obsessed with reality TV, Wii games where I can shoot a gun, country music, and Caesar: Dog Whisperer. I also spend time pretending to golf, backseat driving, having one way conversations with our MinPin Maxwell, loving champagne, and wedding perfecting… I mean, planning. I use way too many repeated symbols and letters when I write, and I'll love Mr. Champagne endlessly…

Can I Get a Little Help Here?

August 29th, 2008 @ 5:05 pm by Mrs. Champagne

(image source)

When we first started the planning process, our first check mark on “the big list” was to find someone who could just help us out. Planning from over a thousand miles away can be difficult alone, but we knew if we had someone to ease the load it would make a huge difference. Brides usually seek the help of family friends or their dear…

Roll In the Reinforcements

Yesterday I mentioned that my wedding nap was over and I would soon be getting some help. Well, help has arrived!

When we first met in college we split dollar pitchers and now we share the mortgage payments. Despite our love for the city we are looking forward to tying the knot in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

Our Invitations

Finally, some pictures! Admittedly they aren’t the best quality, but a makeshift photo shoot on our kitchen counter will have to suffice. I designed the invitation suite myself and worked with a local letterpress company to have them printed. I love letterpress so much that we just had to find a cost effective way to make it work, so designing them myself and using a small printing…

In the Zone!

August 29th, 2008 @ 3:04 pm by Mrs. Bee

For the past week, I’ve been getting the Zone diet delivered through Zone Manhattan.  I wanted to lose a couple of pounds, and frankly, eating is a chore during the week since I don’t cook at all anymore and order in for every meal.  The prospect of not having to think about food was very enticing.  Plus BIL Bee lost 30 pounds in two months on Zone…
