Weddingbee Blog

I have written in journals since my angst-ridden teenage years. Then came the dawn of the world wide web. As an internet addict and a computer nerd, I happily joined the blogging bandwagon in 2001 and have been doing it ever since.

How did you first hear about Weddingbee?

The very first time I heard about Weddingbee was when my now sister-in-law, Mrs. Poppy, became a Weddingbee blogger. I went through the first few pages of the site and found it very engaging. However, I only stopped by once in a while to see how Mrs. Poppy was doing.

A year later, I got engaged myself. I naturally started blogging about my wedding, and Weddingbee soon became an invaluable source for all things wedding-related. My friends would tell me things like, “Oh there’s this site you have to check out…”, or “Have you heard of Weddingbee? You should apply to be a blogger!”

So I did, and I am happy to say that I was accepted.

How has Weddingbee changed your life?

Did you know that I have not one, but two bees that are related to me through marriage? Mrs. Poppy is my sister-in-law (our husbands are brothers) and Mrs. Lovebird is my cousin’s husband’s cousin.

While these two fabulous ladies are officially related to me, I consider the rest of the bees my family too. Weddingbee has built an exceptional community over the years - one that is full of fun, creative, intelligent, and super-supportive people. Who knew when I first joined Weddingbee that I would be attending the wedding of someone I’ve only conversed with over the web? Who knew that a full year and 4 months after my wedding, I would still be checking Weddingbee every single day?

Weddingbee has such a wide reach that I have even gotten recognized several times. Someone I have just met exclaiming, “Hey I know you, you’re on Weddingbee!” has occurred a few times. I have had people at department stores and on the subway recognize me, but those were rare occurrences. And I almost felt like a web celebrity when some people recognized me during my last trip to LA.

If you recognize a bee, go up and say hi! Most of us are very happy to meet and converse with fellow Weddingbee fans.

What will you be doing now that your recaps are (finally) done?

I will definitely be stopping by when I feel the need to write about something wedding-related. Or even when I just miss you guys!

However, there is something going on that will probably keep me occupied for a while…

Yes, I am pregnant!!!

I am still pretty early in the pregnancy but Mr. Peony and I were too excited not to share the news, screaming it from the mountaintops. If all goes well, we will become parents next April! (And how cool would it be if the baby is born on 4/18/10, which is our 2-year wedding anniversary?)

Meanwhile I will keep blogging at my personal site, http://www.geekinheels.com. Come by and say hi!
