We’ve decided on our wedding cake (yes… there will be a post on this soon), but in the South, the groom usually has a cake, too. From my experience, the groom’s cake is usually chocolate… but Mr. Beagle hates chocolate.
In some cases, the groom’s cake also represents his hobbies/likes/interests.
Hey hive! Guess what? I’m hopping on the BeeTV wagon. Join me tomorrow night (Friday) starting at 8:30 PM EST!
I will have my sangria in hand and will talk about anything and everything…
For those interested…. thought I’d share my sangria recipe:
Preparation : Mix it all up, baby… add the fruit at the very end, and enjoy! 
Hopefully you will have your glass of sangria too… see you tomorrow!!!
Wouldn’t it be a sign of the times if the reader at your ceremony got up there with his or her Kindle in hand? While I don’t anticipate that happening at our wedding, it would definitely make me chuckle. And, it would most definitely put a modern twist on the proceedings… don’t worry, we’re not going to take things quite that far!

To not have your own inspiration board!!!
Do you remember when Mrs. Lemon showed us all how to make an inspiration board the really easy way and then the Photoshop way? Well, I love when you can do things really easily, but it was so hard for me to find the images I loved in the color I wanted, that I knew Photoshop was the way to go.
As always, I wanted to share this little experience with all of you and show you the basic tools you can use to play with and create your own custom inspiration board!

Unique Wedding Favors
“Add a memorable touch to your wedding with unique favors that match your theme.”
We’d relaxed at the spa, ate good food, and then we proceeded to partake in the ever popular dance portion of the bachelorette party. You all know I love to dance, so I didn’t mind this part of the evening at all except for the fact that we were all yawning by the end of dinner. 
I guess this is what happens when you reach the 30+ age range? We definitely joked about the fact that we were all little shells of our former partying selves to some extent. Therefore, the car ride over to Williamsburg, Brooklyn consisted of opening windows for some fresh air to keep us awake and calling each other out for yawning.
Of course, by the time we got to Bembe in Williamsburg and the music hit us, were were okay. Bembe primarily plays a mix of Latin music (I guess we had to keep the Latin theme running) so there was steady mix of salsa, samba and merengue with some dance classics thrown in for good measure. I have not been out dancing in a LOOONNNGG time, but somehow remembered how to dance.
A mojito on the dance floor
When I’m working on other people’s weddings, sometimes I have to stop and remind myself that it’s not my wedding. Case in point: the vases above. The mother of the bride purchased about 8 narrow glass vases and a handful of silk roses, one or two per vase. She wanted them to be the centerpieces for each table.
My oldest brother-in-law (again, not the one getting married) and I both looked at them and hated them instantly, mostly because we both have black, black Martha Stewart hearts.

Create the honeymoon of your dreams.
Well gang, it’s a big day for the Sunbeams! Today we will celebrate 10 years of dating. I know, we can hardly believe it too. It’s a great number to end our years of dating as we move on to wedding anniversaries. Thanks to all our friends and family for supporting us as we struggled with love, long distance and just plain growing up. Here’s a real quick look back at the many years of us.

Okay, I’m officially freaking out.
To make matters worse, Mr. Lab and I have been fighting. And it’s about something that we should not even be arguing about: the “need” for a wedding cinematographer.
It’s a long story and I won’t get into the specifics. We’ve finally come to a compromise and I don’t want to open up any fresh wounds. But boy was it exhausting. He basically didn’t see any reason to have a wedding film made, no matter the cost, because he—along with the backup of some of his recently married guy friends—felt like the film would never be viewed; thus, making it worthless.
To me, having a wedding cinematographer ranks up in the top 3 most important things to have on the day of the wedding.

The glyph discussion is not new on Weddingbee. I was personally first introduced to them by Mrs. Licorice here, and ever since, have been smitten. But I thought I’d bring it up again now that I’m fresh off of finishing my friend Robin’s invites!
If you’re unfamiliar with the glyph palette, then here’s a quick layman’s rundown. There are certain fonts out there that allow you to “manipulate” certain (or all) of the letters in the alphabet, to create a customized look for your words. The result is a really custom look for any set of letter combinations, that can be switched up to create a variety of different looks for the same word. A better definition of the glyph palette is here. So, for instance, using the font Burgues Script and the word “Penguin”, you can get the word to look different, tens of times over if you’d like:
This weekend was not only my first wedding shower for myself but the first wedding shower that I have ever attended! Surprising right?! I have been in a lot of weddings, but living far from North Carolina I have never been able to attend the showers.
(Mr. AC’s mom arranged for our name to be on the church marquee, it was SOOO cool seeing our name up there)
I must admit that I was a little nervous. I am not a very “girly girl” and I don’t really like being the center of attention, but I embraced it and it was super fun!

You might remember my post about the first part of my veil saga where I told you all how I made my own birdcage veil. If you don’t, that’s okay. It was so long ago! It took me a bit longer than anticipated to finish my second veil, so you’ll have to excuse the gap between parts one and two of this story!
Anyways, I promised I’d show you a picture of me wearing the birdcage that I made:
I’m still working on the placement, which makes a shockingly big difference in how the veil looks. I’m thinking I might need to bobby pin it to my head in a place or two, as well.
I also showed you the vintage French lace that I bought from Etsy in my post about my somethings. As it turns out, hand stitching that lace to the bottom of my veil took several weeks of painstaking effort. But I’m very pleased with the end result!

The Moshulu really “made” our wedding. We weren’t too keen on having a “ballroom” wedding, but were overwhelmed by the work of a “tent” wedding. The Moshulu is a great restaurant with a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces.
Although we’ve only been married for a little over nine months, I’ve noticed that being a wife also means being thrown into a culture obsessed with babies. There’s a lot of pressure to pull off parenthood while trying to juggle married life and a career. Not to mention trying to be able to afford a house somewhere in the mix (since that’s the next “step”, after all).
I think that too many newly married couples believe they need to have a child to complete that next phase in their relationship, while not really paying attention to whether or not they are doing what’s best for the child. I don’t think that’s the way it is in the hive, but out here in the non-bee world I am seeing this happening more often than not.
