Hi! I’m Miss Latte!
(looking left…looking right…rubbing eyes…blink, blink)
Is this for real? Am I really here? As a bee? WOW!
I’m super excited and honored to join the hive! When I received the news, I was at work and screamed so loudly that everyone ran over to make sure I was OK. Is a grown woman sitting in front of a computer screen with her hands covering her face, laughing and crying simultaneously “OK”??? Oh, hecks yeah she is!
I’ve been an avid Weddingbee reader since waaay before I even met Mr. Latte, so my “wedding idea notebook” is full of great tips and pieces of advice from the bees. I hope that my experiences will give you as much inspiration and as many creative ideas as I’ve received from them!
Let me start by introducing us…the Lattes. I live in Boston, Mr. Latte lives in the Bay Area, and we’ve been in a long distance relationship since the very beginning.
For over 2 years, we’ve endured red-eye flights, a 3-hour time difference and messed up sleep schedules as we’ve committed to each other and our relationship. Thank goodness for JetBlue (our carrier of choice) and unlimited in-network cell phone minutes (a necessity!). Although being in a long distance relationship is difficult, we think that it has allowed us to become well-balanced individuals better prepared to come together as a married couple. 
Which brings me to the good stuff… our big day! On top of the fact that we’re long distance, we’re getting married in NYC! Planning a wedding from out-of-town has already proven to be quite a challenge, as we’ve had to cram a lot of wedding planning and “us” time into our short trips together. But if 3,000 miles can’t get in the way of the Lattes, what will a couple of vendors really do?!?
Why Miss Latte? Simple…I am a coffee addict. I can’t function without it. My mouth loses its ability to smile until I’ve had my morning cup (OK fine, 2 cups!), and if I (god-forbid) forget, my head starts to pound and it’s game over. Mr. Latte despises this addiction and THINKS that once we’re married, I’m going to quit. But now that “Latte” is officially a part of my name, he’s got nothing.
Here’s a picture of me feeding my addiction:
And another:
And what’s this I see? Mr. Latte caught red-handed(!):
HA! Take that Mr. Latte! Just kidding. I love you… a latte. 
Well hive, I’m looking forward to our upcoming months together! Cheers!

Welcome, welcome!! And glad to hear that the Bay Area is home to 50% of the Lattes!!
Welcome Lattes! Can’t wait to read about your adventures in wedding planning!
Welcome! And we love Jack Bauer too! Can’t wait until Sunday!
Welcome Miss Latte! It is so encouraging to hear about how you two have conquered the long distance relationship!
woohoo! hello miss latte you big cheeseball.
Yay for a Boston bee!! I’m a Boston girl born and raised but will be leaving my fiance for three months ( 
!!) to do a work rotation out in Portland, OR — if you guys can do it for two years I think we can handle the red eye flights and 3 hour time difference for three months! Congrats and can’t wait to year your story and all about your planning.
From one fellow coffee addict to another and from one who has been there and done that with the long distance relationship thing, I like you a latte already! (Really, the pun never gets old!)
Mr. Cookie also thought he could wean me from the addiction but that was until we got an espresso maker off our registry.
Welcome!
Such a cute icon!
Great story too!
yayyyy Mim… I mean MISS Latte!!! 
yay! im a boston bride and super excited to welcome a boston bee
Hi, there! I’m so glad you’re here — the love him a latte comment won me over… LOL. After all, I am Miss CHEESE. We’ll compete to see who can be the cheesiest. Also, I can’t live without coffee, and while Mr. Cheese swore the stuff was battery acid when he first met me, I’ve now brought him over to the dark side — he’s even the one to get up and get our morning coffees. There is hope (for you, not for your mister). Can’t wait to hear more!
So glad to have a new bee! Can’t wait to hear about all your adventures!
I agree with miss cheese and the cheese factor, love the love you a latte. Wow I really am easily amused. Oh well can’t wait to here more.
Congrats on becoming a bee and Welcome!!
I love your “… a latte” at the end = SUPER CUTE

Hellllooooo Miss Latte! Can’t wait to read more about your wedding adventures!!
Hi Miss Latte! I admire you for the long-distance relationship AND long-distance planning. Why NY? Where will you both end up?? (And I suppose all of this will be coming, but if you’ve always been long-distance, how’d you meet?) Welcome to the hive!!
Aww…thanks for the warm welcome!
@Miss Peep Toe: 50%…soon to be 100%!
@kd: YES! 2 straight hours of JACK! I’m counting down…
@Humarockbride: Sad. Make sure you’re both on the same cell phone provider and make the commitment to see each other every _# of weeks, etc. I feel you.
@Mrs. Cookie: I didn’t think we would need an espresso machine but that’s it, I’m adding one today. Thanks for the tip.
@tina: You crazy girl.
@Miss Cheese: Oh, how I envy you. I have a latte to learn from you. (Like that one?)
@Miss Glitter: Definitely, 100% agree with you. I definitely couldn’t do it…I just benefit from hearing all the funny stories that occur throughout his day.
@Mrs. Tiramisu: You are my gocco idol.
@kim: small world!!!
@tea: 4 years?!? Wow, major snaps to you guys!
So excited to see that it will be 100% in the Bay Area soon. We have to do a get together when you get out here!!
Welcome! I’ve been in a long distance relationship for the last 2 years (and only 6 more months!!!). I look forward to learning how y’all have dealt with the long distance. Maybe I’ll get some new ideas!
Welcome to the hive! I can’t wait to see all the new ideas you bring with you!
Welcome! I can’t wait to hear about all your wonderful wedding details!
Congratulations Miss Latte! I’m very proud of you! Now let’s get cracking on this wedding thang Love you a latte! (that’s probably going to be the last time you see me say that in public =) )
Welcome, you are super cute!! =) I am a fellow coffee addict =)
I just googled your venue and it sounds amazing! It has a screening room even, are you going to use it (haha, I have no idea what I would use a screening room for on the wedding day, maybe a SDE?)
Anyways, I’m so happy you’re here!
Yay Boston bee! Welcome!
Hehe, you’re a lucky girl… Mr. Latte seems so sweet!
Welcome! I love the picture of Mr. latte with his pinkie up! So cute!
welcome to the hive! the killer headaches come from the caffeine withdrawl. if you really are getting terrible headaches you might want to consider cutting back (i know you don’t want to hear that).
so if he’s from the west coast and you’re from boston, why nyc? mr. onion and i planned 300 miles away (from nyc to burlington, vt) just because we loved it there — great memories from our first vacation together. i look forward to hearing about your planning.
That’s adorable!!! =) I’m in NYC planning a wedding in Boston haha isn’t planning away just fun =P
Welcome Latte! You picked the best bee icon of allllll time. I am also thoroughly addicted. Doesn’t help that I work for the best coffee company in the US (we actually have a handful of stores in MA in Boston/Lexington/Brookline. ) Hehe. Mr. Eggie doesn’t drink coffee AT ALL either.
Can’t wait to hear about your planning!
@Mrs. Avocado: I haven’t even seen the screening room!!! Oh, the possibilites a screening room would bring…
@Mrs. Onion: You’re right, I’m definitely addicted to the caffeine. Mr. Latte wants me to move over to green tea.
@Mrs. Eggplant: Ok I think I can guess which company you work for…can you guys open more stores here??? Perhaps one right next to my office?
[...] it??? This shouldn’t be hard… refer to my previous post for a clue. OK fine, I work in education so to be fair, here’s a bigger clue for you visual [...]
