Weddingbee Blog

Warning: Gushing ahead!!

I love Weddingbee because everyone is just so nice. I get great advice and suggestions about everything from Fray Check for my ring pillow, to figuring out a better florist situation, to ideas on invitation designers (you readers are the reason for my invitations)!

And every so often, I’ll get a PM or a comment from a reader who thought of me for some reason. Like, reader, mrspaetz sent me a link (on my post on photography no less) to a great pair of shoes, citing how the pale blue and deco design made her think of me. So. Nice!

Or when I got a message from local bee reader, GwenMarieDC, about the shooting at the Homestead, sending her thoughts and wishes… It’s just really touching that people care and remember, you know? I can’t tell you how great it is to hear readers’ enthusiastic compliments, your wonderful ideas, and inspirations.

Additionally, there is the same warmth and support from the WB bloggers. As you may or may not know, most of us bloggers don’t really know each other in “real life”. But the forum seems to cultivate a neat sort of cyber-friendship.

One of those friendships is mine with Miss Quiche. We have a lot in common (namely Paris–the city), and have naturally gravitated towards each other’s posts. Non-sexual crush you say? Perhaps. We’ve exchanged a couple emails but we’ve actually never met!

So, it was soooooooo lovely to get this surprise package in the mail from the lovely Chicago bloggerette:

On her trip to Paris, she thought of me and my crazy obsession with Laduree and macarons. So she picked up these wonderful dragees. I WAS SO TOUCHED to get these in the mail! A cute little box on the outside read, “Just wanted to say, Bonjour!” and it came with a sweet little message, and of course the BEAUTIFUL dragees and Laduree box! (I’m keeping the box forever. The dragees are already gone!)

She even “stuffed” the box with printouts of macarons (she tried to get the macarons, but they have a short shelf life–bad for the plane ride). Just so incredibly sweet! THANK YOU, Mmlle. QUICHEY!!!

Again, it’s the thought, good will, kindness, and friendliness that makes Weddingbee so special in the sometimes (catty) cold wedding blogosphere.

Have you forged special relationships here on the ’bee?
