Wedding Blog
2008 was a crazy, cool, wonderful, year for Weddingbee thanks to our superfantabulous readers, and our talentedawesomeblogariffic Bees. The hive celebrated so many milestones in 2008… won’t you join me in reminiscing?
A bottle of Veuve Clicquot that the sweet Mrs. Lovebird gave me for my birthday. New Year’s Eve! was the perfect occasion to open it!
Number of Bees that got married in 2008: 43… in chronological order!
Pregnant Bees:
New Mommy and Daddy Bees:
Bees that accomplished education goals: Mrs. Coconut passed the bar, and Mrs. Champagne and Mrs. Tiramisu both became eye doctors!
Bees that started wedding related businesses (photography, wedding planning, and stationery respectively):
Bees that relocated to new cities:
Bees that bought homes:
I can’t begin to tell you how much I rove Mrs. Penguin rong time. She is the best slave editor I could hope for! ;) She truly loves Weddingbee, and there is no better qualification when it comes to running the site!
My behind the scenes rocks - BIL Bee and Mr. Bee. They’re identical twins! And they work so hard on programming, design, features… I would be completely and utterly lost without them.
And of course there are the Bees, who are the heart of Weddingbee. They always give so selflessly to the hive — I can’t express how much I admire their dedication, talent, creativity and friendship. They continue to inspire me daily, and I thank them for their endless contributions from the bottom of my heart.
And if the Bees are the heart of Weddingbee, you dear readers are the soul. Without you, Weddingbee would cease to exist! Thank you so much for all the support, advice, insight, and love you’ve given all of us and fellow readers this past year. We promise to thank you by trying to make the hive better with each passing year!
Much love,
Mrs. Bee
PS - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year to you, as well, Mrs. Bee…Love this post! So, what ever happened to Mrs. Sundae & Mrs. Chickadee? Oh and what are Mrs. Corn & Mrs. Emerald’s wedding related businesses?
I wonder how Sweet Tea’s wedding went! Maybe she married Brittany Spear’s brother…he got married in New Orleans last night! 
Happy new year to the Bee family and congrats to all the bees who got married and had all the wonderful successes in 2008! Hope 2009 is just as great for all of you ! And I, too, was wondering what happened to Mrs. Chickadee?
I wrote this post while I was drunk at 4 am on New Year’s Eve, and it accidentally went live before I edited it. The post is updated now to make more sense… I’m actually in New Orleans right now!
I’m a…. slaaaaaaaveeee for Bee! I wont deny it, I’m not tryin to hide it!
I do love the ‘bee! It’s like my little green, 3 columned child.
Happy New Year bees! 2008 was the best year ever, and I can’t wait to see what 2009 has in store!
And Bee and Mr Bee… SEE YOU IN THE NYC!
LoL @ mrs.bee.. I thought I saw that post on my reader but it wasn’t on here yet. I only wanted to read it here so I waited
Happy New Year Bees!!! you all have accomplished a lot in 2008!! The best is yet to come so 2009 is going to be better I am sure.
To Mrs Bee thanks for giving other brides a place to get together and share ideas. I found this site in June and I have been hooked. The site has given numerous people so much inspiration on ways to have a wonderful wedding without going poor. I help 2 friends with their weddings in 2008 and I am helping my friend with her wedding in 2009. All due to the ideas and inspirations I gathered from Weddingbee.
Thanks to all the Bees for been so selfless and contributing to the community with the details of your planning.
Happy New Year Everybody and Congrats!!
happy new year! I love weddingbee and I’ve lovvved being a part of this wonderful community!
I love this status update (breaking down married bees, bees w/ babies, etc.)! Happy new year- something tells me ‘09 is going to be just fabulous!
Happy New Year to you, too Mrs. Bee!! I’m so excited about the year to come!!
Happy New Year all… 2008 was wonderful for me, but here’s hoping that 2009 is even better for all of us! (For me it will be the year I get married!)
I know that Miss SweetTea is now a Mrs. She has a blog of her own. If you click on my name, she’s in my blogroll so that you can see what she’s been up to.
happy happy to all the bees and readers!
another big thing this year was bee couples buying their first home — i know there were a few of us who did so. ladies, chime in! congrats to all the bees for the great strides that were made in ‘08.
So many milestones this year. I always love reviewing the year that’s passed and thinking about the year ahead. And I agree. Peng is like a superhero.
Hey guys! Mrs. Bee is traveling now, so I thought I’d chime in. I don’t know the answers to all the questions, but I’ll do my best!
Mrs. Chickadee got busy as it got closer to her wedding. That’s happened to a number of Bees over the years (including Mr. Mango). We’re grateful for whatever each Bee is able to share on their wedding journey!
There are links to Mrs. Corn’s and Mrs. Emerald’s businesses in the post…
Aww what a sweet post! What a great 2008 recap! Toast to the new year, and for the many new bloggers & readers to come!! *clink*
Love the recap… its crazy how many bees there were in 2008… imagine 2009 - Crazyiness!
Congratz to the new parents, home et business owners. I feel like 2009 will be a great year.
Happy new Years everyone! Love weddingbee… your like my second family xox
Happy New Year to you Mrs. Bee and everyone else!!! *clink* Here’s to the new year!! And many more weddings, babies, houses, jobs, bees, etc!!!
Happy New Year, Bee! Have a great time in New Orleans and keep up the fabulous work!! I heart weddingbee!! =D
Does anyone know if Mrs. Strawberry is still wedding coordinating?
Happy new year!! Props to Mrs. Bee, Mr. Bee, Pengy, and BIL Bee for all their work. And how did I not know that Mr. Bee and BIL Bee are twins?!
I believe some other Bees accomplished educational milestones this year as well - did Mrs. Coconut or somebody else pass the bar?
Great post Mrs. Bee!
I truly love being a part of the Weddingbee community, and I am so excited to see what 2009 has in store!
Happy New Year everyone!
Happy New Year!!! I am so happy to be a part of weddingbee.
Happy New Year, Bee and the entire WB team!! You guys are amazing. Best wishes for 2009!!
I’d love to see a where-are-they-now post about some of the bees that were not mentioned in this post, ie. Mrs. Apple, Mrs. Snail, Mrs. Pumpkin, etc.
I was just thinking of emailing you to ask for a similar summary (finally back to wedding stalking)…. one other “stat” I’m curious about.. any Bees with the big “D”? I’m always curious why it doesn’t work out for some married couples (so I can avoid those things). Anyway, maybe not the most happy topic, but I’ve been curious…
So I relocated and bought a home too… add the extra lemon icon in there… cause I need more love please? Don’t let the spotlight go away — perty please?!?!
@creme_de_violet: We updated with all the news we had! There have been 150 bees or so at this point, so it will be increasingly tough to be exhaustive :-).
@AC: We would never share news like that, unless the Bee in question chose to blog about it and asked us to post it. I hope you understand.
@Mrs. Lemon: We added the second lemon! Congratulations on buying a home! It seems so adult. Must… stop… renting…
