Mrs. Bunny's Picture
Mrs. Bunny, Columbus Age and Occupation: 24, Associate Editor/Reporter Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, Reporter Engagement Date: September 23, 2008 Wedding Date: July 2009 Venue: Everal Barn, Westerville About Me: Organized, but messy. I love art (all kinds). I don't have any secrets. I talk a lot and listen even more. I show love by baking. I'm timid by nature, but brave when it counts. Mr. Bunny and I work at competing weekly newspapers, which makes it a little interesting trying to describe our work joys and frustrations without giving away too much before the paper comes out. In spite of that little hurdle, we've managed to build a pretty solid relationship in the short one-and-a-half years we will have been together when we tie the knot. I can't wait!
About Mrs. Bunny

Hopping In to Say Hello!

May 26th, 2009 @ 5:10 pm by Mrs. Bunny

Hi, hive! I’m Miss Bunny, and I’m absolutely thrilled to be here.

I’ve been a fan of Weddingbee since before my engagement last September, and I started my own blog within a week of getting engaged. It seems unbelievable that I’m finally here as a Bee!

Mr. Bunny and I met through work. We’re reporters who write for competing weekly newspapers, so we got to know each other at school board meetings and at parties with mutual friends.

Out with work friends, May 2008

My first memory of Mr. B was when we were both sent out to cover a tornado and he tried to butt in on my interview with a Red Cross worker!

Needless to say, the competitive dynamic makes for an interesting romantic relationship. We’ve had to keep strict rules about not discussing work before our Tuesday afternoon deadlines.

papers

OK, honestly, it’s mostly my fault. I’m the competitive one.

Fortunately, Mr. Bunny is much more laid back than little ol’ me. He’s a country boy who likes to hunt, watch movies and sing karaoke. He’s only been on a plane once in his life — the second time will be for our honeymoon!

I, on the other hand, am a military brat (Coast Guard, in case you’re wondering). I spent junior high and high school in the D.C. ’burbs before my parents moved back to Columbus, which is their hometown. After four years at college in Kentucky, I moved to Buckeye country (holla, Mrs. Quiche and Mr. Yorkie!) and got a job. I’ve been here ever since.

At the Ohio State-Ohio University game, Sept. 08

I love to bake, craft, browse antique stores, and spend lots of time with friends and family.

Since we’re both reporters, you can bet our budget is itty-bitty! We’re trying to plan a casual wedding with vintage flair for 170 guests on about $5,000, give or take a bit. I’m going a little broke in the process, but totally loving it.

Like Miss Yorkie, I’m only a little over a month away from my nuptials. I’m so glad I get to share these last days of planning with you!

@KellyP, PeachandPearl, Lauren and ESPECIALLY jessica … Good grief! Small world!

@Kelly P and Lauren — I had no idea there were so many Cbus readers. The local board’s dead in spite of my attempts to revive it. Maybe we should start talking about a meetup sometime soon?

@Jessica — Yep, that’s me! I wondered if any long-lost friends would find me here! Look me up on Facebook if you get a chance so I can find out who you are.

When I saw the Miss Bunny position got filled, I was excited to see what she would be like since I totally would have begged to be Miss Bunny if I had ever been a bee — I think you’re pretty awesome so far. :) Love the Coastie reference — my husband’s a veteran and they truly are the “few, proud, brave” and the most under-appreciated servicemen and women in our country.

Fellow journalist who’s also marrying a journalist here! We met at the college newspaper; he was the sports editor and I was arts and entertainment.

We have an itty-bitty budget, too. I can’t wait to see how you guys incorporate your journalism backgrounds; I’m planning on doing newspaper save-the-dates and possibly making papier mache birds out of newspaper as cake toppers.

I also bought my fiance typewriter key cufflinks a couple years ago, and I’m hoping he’ll be wearing them at the wedding.

My FI and I also worked at competing newspapers! Journalists kinda stick together, huh? (Neither of us works at a paper anymore and I so miss the newsroom, but the industry = not so great these days.)
