About Bee Spotlight

Mrs. Bee

November 7th, 2008 @ 5:56 pm by Bee Spotlight

How do I write a Bee Spotlight on myself? ;)

Well, you’ve been following along with my life the past couple of years through Weddingbee, so there isn’t much new news to share. So instead I thought I’d share a couple of our wedding pictures, because I never really posted any. Why? Here’s another little Bee Secret — I don’t post pictures of Mr. Bee. I share so much of my life, I figure at least one aspect has to remain private right? ;)

So here are some details from our Big Day. Remember — this was back in the day when we used film cameras, and walked ten miles to school with no shoes in the snow — so these are all scanned pictures.

I wish I had a better picture of the back of my Anne Barge dress. The front was pretty simple, but the train was covered in beading in an upside down v shape, and peeked out when I walked or bustled my dress.  It was what made me buy the dress!

We had very simple invitations from Dauphine Press. They had a leaf motif which we carried throughout our wedding stationery…

We snacked on munchies from the extra OOT guest bags while getting ready.

Mr. Bee’s dad wore a traditional Filipino shirt, a barong, for the wedding.

Getting ready for the Korean Paebaek ceremony…

The first, and probably only time, that I will wear the traditional Korean dress, a hanbok.

This bag holds dates and chestnuts that Mr. Bee and I are supposed to catch in a scarf.  They represent the number of sons and daughters that we are supposed to have.

I love seeing these pictures. Your centerpieces are classic and lovely! I wish I could see the back of your dress, too! That’s why I chose mine, too, though.

Tell Mr. Bee he has a very handsome bottom-mouth (bottom of his face/mouth, not hiney). :) And the same to BIL, too, I guess!

Lovely post, Mrs. Bee–You look so beautiful and I especially enjoyed the pictures with you in traditional Korean garb…I’ve only been following WeddingBee since late summer–did you do a post on the traditional Korean ceremony portion of your wedding? Maybe that would be a fun feature from all the different bees–old and new–wedding traditions from different cultures/heritages and how they incorporated those traditions in their ceremonies (I so enjoyed the post about your trip!).

You look beautiful. And Mr. Bee is very mysterious, which of course leads us to think he is wicked handsome. ;-)

I love the hanbok…. it’s fun to have traditional Asian costumes and the Western wedding gown all at the same time..

No wonder, i kept on buying wedding dresses (already have 3 in my wardrobe) and just the chinese QiPao (cheong sam)
