Hello hive! My name is Miss Mascara, and it’s lovely to meet all of you! I am so excited to be a part of this wonderful world of Weddingbee!
A little about myself… I’m a 25 year old biomedical engineer living in the Chicago suburbs. I’m from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (that little part of the state above the mitten… yes, I am a Yooper) and I love everything related to weddings, crafts, and DIY projects.
Mr. Mascara and I have been together for over 7 years, and when he proposed in the middle of an English garden, of course I said yes!
We’re planning a rather large September wedding (about 325 people) in our hometown, with a rather tiny budget, and trying to infuse as much of our personalities into it as possible. Needless to say, there will be plenty of DIY projects to post about!
I can’t wait to share the rest of our wedding details with you! Thanks so much for allowing me to be part of the hive!
Welcome, Miss Mascara! Looking forward to your DIY projects, as I am always envious of bees who are so good at crafts and DIY.
WELCOME WELCOME! I love your bee pic in your bio — such PUUURRRTTY curls! And what a huge guest list!! You are so so brave!
Wow, I can’t wait to hear how you’ll plan your big, hometown wedding! It’s great to learn about different kinds and sizes of weddings on a range of budgets! That garden is beautiful - is it actually in England, or is it an English-inspired garden in your hometown? Because it would make a beautiful backdrop for engagement or wedding photos!
good to *meet* you Miss Mascara! I’m from a Chicago suburb as well, and I hope you’ll spend some time on the Chicago board with more ideas from the burbs!
Can’t wait to hear how your long distance planning goes, with such a large guest list!
