Wedding Blog

Hello hive!

First let me just tell you how incredibly excited I am to become the newest bee! I’ve been following the boards for a few months and everyone’s advice is so helpful, clever and kind and I feel so lucky to be part of it all.

Second, I should let you know how rainy it is in England right now, seriously, avoid visiting in the winter!

I chose “Miss D’orsay” as my moniker because I have a slight shoe obsession, which is matched only by my addiction to cheese. That and as you can imagine Mr. D’orsay wasn’t a huge fan of being “Mr.Gloss” or “Mr. Lipstick”. I plan on wearing a saucy pair of purple D’orsays (D’orsies?) on my big day and would love to see all of your D’orsays as well!

I’m originally from Baltimore, Maryland, but in the past year I’ve lived in Tucson, Arizona, Miami, Florida and now Lancaster, England! During one of many many business trips I ended up in Austin, TX where I collided with an elbow that would forever change my life; the elbow in question belongs to an Englishman whom I’ll soon tell you much more about. He is the reason I have become a “stay at home fiancee” in an interesting, historic, rainy and surprisingly foreign country.

Yes, yes that is correct, we are in fact planning a US wedding approximately 7,500 miles away from a village in northern England. Oh, and yes, I certainly do plan on having somewhere around a million DIY projects, from turning wine bottles into vases and votives to creating pomanders out of tissue paper (don’t worry, that’s only 180 miniature tissue paper flowers to create). I hope you’ll join Mr. D’Orsay and I as we try to coordinate time zones, vendors, bridesmaid dresses and DIY projects all from a different country. Did I mention the pesky issue of immigration? Don’t worry because you’re certain to hear more about that!

Thank you so much for being such a fantastic hive and I’m so excited to be a part of it all!

Yours,

Miss D’orsay
