Mrs. Bruschetta's Picture
Mrs. Bruschetta, Philadelphia Age and Occupation: 25, Communication Professional Fiance's Age and Occupation: 25, Physical Therapy Graduate Student Engagement Date: November 30, 2007 Wedding Date: August 2009 Venue: St. Thomas of Villanova Church & the F.U.E.L. House About Me: I’m a self-proclaimed grammar geek who loves singing (like, really belting it) in the car. My mister and I are planning a vibrant summer soiree celebrating our passions – including food and Philly – and when we make it official, we’ll have been together for eight years! Being super competitive is in my nature, and talking excessively is in my genes. I’ve got a terrible sense of direction, but can always easily find my way into Mr. Bruschetta’s arms.
About Mrs. Bruschetta

Greetings, hive!

I’m elated to join Weddingbee as Miss Bruschetta! For the past year, I’ve been an actively-buzzing member of this community, following each bee as she plans, marries and recaps. Truthfully, I was on-again, off-again about applying, and even started my blog intending to make it food focused. When I struggled to find the time to cook to my heart’s content, though, wedding plans found their way into my posts, and soon, I was hooked. I’m so excited to follow in the bee-prints of the other Philly blogger brides, and hope to show how much (and what in particular) I love about the City of Brotherly Love.

I enjoy playing with words as much as I enjoy playing with food. When I’m at my most extroverted, you’re lucky if you can get a word in edgewise. And I’ve found my perfect match in Mr. Bruschetta, who similarly enjoys Epicurean endeavors and witty wordplay. At times, we’re so alike it’s uncanny — but we’re also opposites in many respects. I’m normally the talker, worrier and writer, while Mr. Bruschetta happily assumes the complement to each of these qualities.

Mr. Bruschetta’s also a task-oriented groom, who’s helping me keep it together now that we’ve started our six-month countdown. Although we’ve made nearly all our big decisions, I’m still watching our wedding take shape as the little details fall into place. I’m not a seasoned crafter, but I’ll give anything a try — especially when there are so many great sources of inspiration out there!

Miss Bruschetta seemed a most appropriate moniker. I love savoring a glass of wine, cooking my pasta until it’s just al dente, topping it with homemade gravy — and I know all the best spots for tiramisu, gelato and cannoli. I may only be one-half Italian, but I fully embrace the culture and cuisine of the country from which my maternal grandparents emigrated. And although I’m masquerading as a Philly bee, I’m technically a Jersey girl (who loves fresh tomatoes) living a quick commute away from all the urban excitement!

I’m so looking forward to sharing my plans — and passions — with you!

Hey Miss Bruschetta! I am going to throw you a little philly love….although I reside in TN, I have fam. in Moorestown NJ that I visit frequently (will be visiting one week from today as a matter-of-fact!). We basically live in Philly while I visit and check out all the yummy food, as I am somewhat of a foodie myself. It really is the greatest town on earth! Two of my Fave’s: Cuba Libre (i am cuban), Tony Luke’s (duh), and Ralph’s Italian Restaurant. Yum Yum I look forward to your philly updates!

Just had to give a shout out to another Jersey girl! I always wondered why there were no bees from NJ here. I guess they’re pretending to be NY or Philly Bees!

Hi there and Welcome! I was a Philly girl myself during most of our engagement. We recently moved to NYC but we did give Philadelphia a huge shout out at the wedding by placing one of our favorite Philly icons in a very special place… You can click here to check it out: http://perfectbound.blogspot.com/2008/10/home-sweet-home.html

I know what you mean about fresh Jersey tomatoes - I live in Philly, and even though the grocery stores say they have tomatoes from Jersey, you actually have to go there to get the best ones!
