Mrs. Swan's Picture
Mrs. Swan, New York City Age and Occupation: 31, Legislative Representative Fiance's Age and Occupation: 33, Finance Guy Engagement Date: August 9, 2008 Wedding Date: August 2009 Venue: Battery Gardens About Me: I am an un-crafty but resourceful, Caribbean-born but New York-raised woman who's been known to analyze "Dancing with the Stars" and “So You Think You Can Dance”, buy stinky cheese, and use way too many parentheses. I keep lists for fun, am constantly daydreaming of my next international travel adventure (four continents down, three to go), debating sports (let’s Got Mets/Giants!) and dancing around my apartment to stay sane. I am excited to share our wedding planning journey as I hope to plan a streamlined, personal, and fun wedding with the greatest life partner I could ever imagine, Mr. Swan.
About Mrs. Swan

Thank You

August 7th, 2009 @ 6:29 pm by Mrs. Swan

I’m here writing my last blog post as a single woman, and all I can think about is being thankful. I have so much to be thankful for, and I really appreciate it all so much.

I first want to thank you, Weddingbee. I’ll tell you a secret now: I almost didn’t apply to be a bee. I blogged for months before even applying. I wasn’t sure how if at all that I would fit in here with my “different” hair and non-DIYness. :) Even after being chosen to be a bee, I was unsure about how you all would react to some of my posts. Yet, each time I put myself out there, I found such wonderfully thoughtful and sincere responses and support. I want to thank Mrs. Bee, Mr. Bee, Pengy, my fellow bloggers, and you dear Weddingbee readers for creating such a vibrant and accepting community. I have been amazed and overwhelmed by your talents and kind words throughout my wedding planning process.

Finally, I want to say thank you to you, Mr. Swan. Thank you for being you and for your kindness, love and support. I am so excited to become your wife and life partner. I am so thankful to have you in my life.

Anyway, when I glance at the ever-changing weather forecast for Saturday or think about how my hot pinks don’t match (ugh!) I will (try to) remember how thankful I am for having had this wonderful blogging experience and for my wonderful very, very soon-to-be husband.

A’ight, Hive. See ya when I see ya (as a Mrs.)!

Miss Swan

I can’t believe it’s here already! I remember telling you when you first posted that I wished you were going to post for longer, and this is why! Seems like you’ve hardly been here and I loved hearing about all the different things you encountered in planning, from your hair to makeup to being a biracial couple. I can’t wait to see your pics! Best of luck and have a FANTASTIC day.

Miss Swan–
I think we should be thanking you…I have enjoyed your posts as I saw a bee that was like me-black girl from NYC marrying a cute white guy and wondering how to style my hair and feeling guilty because I pay someone else to DIY stuff for my wedding….thank you and have a wonderful and blessed wedding day. Congratulations!!!!
