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!

Blue and Pink Relaxation

June 30th, 2009 @ 1:43 pm by Mrs. Bunny

OMGOMGOMGOMG.

Three days from now, Mr. Bunny and I will be married!

Life has been insane the past couple of days. Sunny Bunny brought her Australian boyfriend home and hosted the Bunny bachelorette Friday night. My family moved me out of my apartment and into our condo in about 3 hours flat on Saturday. Sunday night I took a break and chatted with the hive on Bee TV until my mother forced me to hammer out the rehearsal dinner guest list. And now I’m here at work, still plugging away on everything I need to get done so that I can go on our honeymoon next week!

When everything just seems too overwhelming and I feel like I’ll never get it all done, I close my eyes and imagine our wedding: the lovely details, the decorations I’ve been dreaming up for months, and most importantly (in fact, so important that it makes everything else seem completely insignificant), me and Mr. Bunny, standing in front of all our friends in family, promising to stick together through everything life throws our way.

Of course, images like these are extraordinarily helpful in getting me to that zen state:

I was born and raised in a small East Texas town, but I'm no country girl! I'm obsessed with British accents, fantasy (including Harry Potter, of course), and classic rock.

Breaking the Rules

June 30th, 2009 @ 1:16 pm by Mrs. Mouse

Breaking the Rules :  wedding etiquette Escort  Source

When I started reading Weddingbee last September, I was suddenly overwhelmed with ideas that I could incorporate into my wedding. Gradually I started changing my mind about many early decisions I had made based on new information gleaned from the hive. Originally I wasn’t going to wear a veil because I thought they were too “bridal”—but when I realized just how many quirky options there are out there, I decided on two veils! One for the ceremony, one for the reception. I wasn’t going to spend a lot of money on a photographer or flowers, but I quickly discovered (based on a ton of photographic evidence) how key these two items are for pulling off “the dream wedding”. And c’mon, I had never even HEARD of out-of-town bags or blocking out hotel rooms for non-local guests!

Having your mind opened is a good thing, no doubt.

One thing that I am stubbornly clinging to, however, is the idea of not having assigned seating for the dinner reception. Some of you will gasp.

Centerpieces - Part 2

June 30th, 2009 @ 12:27 pm by Mrs. Joey

My former attempt at the centerpieces were a bust. I searched online for inspirations, but most of what I found wasn’t doable on our budget. And then I looked down, literally, a found a little inspiration in my own home.

Guy Style Down the Aisle

June 30th, 2009 @ 11:33 am by Mrs. Stiletto

Okay, I will admit it - my posts have been incredibly sexist. Where has the focus been on the guys’ attire?! The ladies tend to get a lot more screen time between dresses, shoes, hairstyles, jewelry, etc. Even though it is often the case that the guys don’t even think about what they’re wearing until 3 days before the wedding when they pick up their tuxes, their appearance is equally as important!

Of course, I wasn’t intentionally leaving the guys out in the cold… Mr. S and I just hadn’t had the time to pick out their tuxes. Since I had last Friday off, Mr. S and I ventured to a nearby MW Tux to pick everything out. I let Mr. S take the lead and choose what he liked best… I just sat back and nodded along!

He settled on this great Calvin Klein tux with a faint grey pinstripe. I love it! It’s also more slim of a fit, which is great, because Mr. S’s tuxes often end up being a little big and boxy on him. We were assured this would be perfect for him.

Finding my Bridal Glow, Part 1

June 30th, 2009 @ 11:07 am by Mrs. Peep Toe

I have to say that one thing that I will never forget about our wedding (and weekend) was how I felt. I can honestly say, that from the inside out, I glowed. I felt it in my bones, I felt it in my skin, and by the end of the day I could feel it in my smile because it was so tired.

Unlike the ultra-fabulous Meatball, Ballet Flat, and Joey, I was a bit more covert about my plan to find my bridal glow and my flab to fab plan. I think it stems from years of feeling self conscious about my body and my weight. But I think it’s about time I shed my inner fear and let you all in on my adventure to get my glow on.

Here’s Part 1 of my Flab to Fab Plan:

Growing up I was an uber athlete. I did gymnastics for 30 hours a week until I was 16 and then my body just started to hurt. I could tell that the bending and flexing was putting a strain on my body. It took a knee injury to unearth the truth; a MRI confirmed that I had the knees of a 40 year old woman!! AT 16!!! I kept up workouts and exercising until I went to college.

My first year of college, I stopped exercising and started eating and drinking. The pounds came on and on and on.

STDs…

June 30th, 2009 @ 10:32 am by Mrs. Cloud

Mr. Cloud and I have been engaged now for over a year an a half. I knew immediately I wanted to handle a LOT of the projects for the wedding myself. Up first was our save the dates, and I wanted to get them out as soon as possible. It made sense, considering about 80% of the people we are inviting will be traveling for the big day. I wanted to give plenty of notice of our date, as well as start directing people towards our wedding website (which I may or may not have set up within two days of the engagement).

I had seen magnet STDs before, and was smitten. I didn’t want anything cheap feeling though, so I figured my best bet would be to outsource at least that part of the project. That’s when I came upon MagnetStreet.com. When ordering from them, you can either choose from their super cute designs, or upload your own. We decided to go with one of theirs that perfectly matched our color scheme in the mini magnet size.

About Mrs. Bee

My very dear friend Sophia is planning her entire Los Angeles wedding in only 3 months.  I’m devastated I won’t be able to attend, so I’m trying to help her plan as much as I can from afar by sending her inspiration pictures and vendor referrals, calling in favors from peeps I know in the industry, and taking care of the little details so she won’t have to worry about them at all.

This past weekend I created a care package for her that included an emergency kit and bathroom basket.  Though there is a lot of product overlap, the bathroom basket may be at the venue ahead of time while Sophia is getting ready at a hotel room, so I thought I’d cover my bases and get doubles of most things.  I’ve only included pricing once when I divided products up, and items without prices are things I had around our apartment.  Here’s a breakdown of exactly what I included and what everything cost!
