Introducing Miss Pretzel!

Introducing Miss Pretzel!

October 27th, 2009 @ 8:27 am by Mrs. Penguin

Join me in welcoming our newest bee, Miss Pretzel! She’s sharing her Kodachrome wedding and two receptions with us, and I’m thrilled to welcome her into the hive!

Miss Pretzel, Seattle
Age & Occupation: 32 Learning, Training, and Development Specialist
Fiance’s Age & Occupation: 28 Manufacturing Engineer
Engagement Date: September 2, 2009
Wedding Date: July 2010
Venue: Catholic Church & The Engine Room at Georgetown Studios
About Me: I’m just a thirty-something girl who never dreamed of weddings, poofy dresses, or ritzy receptions. I was born and raised in New Hampshire, went to undergrad and grad school at Purdue University in Indiana, had my career take me to Wisconsin, Atlanta, and then finally settled in Seattle. I am a rabid knitter, except recently, wedding projects have replaced my yarn and needles. I’ve been fiercely independent since the age of 2 and 30 years later I think my family and friends had given up on me settling down and getting married.

Ironically, I had to go all the way to Seattle to find a boy from Purdue. We fell in love over Seattle Beers and cooking together. We love Chuck Taylor All Stars, holding hands, clever t-shirts, bacon, KEXP Radio, craft beer, buying local, cooking from scratch, gardening, mastering our new Gocco, and of course, each other. I love NASCAR, he loves Legos. I can talk like a Muppet and he can fit a whole McDonald’s cheeseburger in his mouth. We are a two reception couple, currently planning a brewery inspired bash.

I think it’s cute that you found a Purdue boy all the way in Seattle. I’m a Michigan gal, so it’s good to have another Big Ten fan around the Hive! Welcome!!

Hello! Yay for a knitter! My knitting also, unfortunately, got pushed aside for wedding projects, too. But, I’ve been able to knit a few things since!

Looking forward to reading about you and your wedding and receptions!

Although I have a question, what does kodachrome mean?

Awe! Thanks for the warm welcome everyone… what an awesome way to start a Tuesday!

@ Jessie516 I’m the product of two Wolverines- so when it’s not Go Boilers- it’s Go Blue!

@ Mrs. Bear Cub: So many! New Belgium is always a fav- but I also love anything from Mac N Jacks or Elysian Brewing… What can I say? I like my beerhoppy!

@ Ms Potato Chips: I had the same reaction when you were introduced!

@ Newport Nuptials: For us kodachrome means bright and colorful.

@ Mrs. D’orsay: ohh! I’m hosting a dinner party (ok it is a “pie off”) this weekend and I’m in charge of creating a fall menu recipes welcome!

@ Mrs. Yorkie: We’re sisters- it’s confirmed! I heart Tony… been known to bring my knitting to the race track too

Oh MAN. KEXP! NW craft brews! Chucks! Local goods! Woot!

Soooo I work for a certain NW craft brewery. Might be able to hook you up with some goodies if it’s got a brewery thang going on. Inquire within!

Otherwise I’m super looking forward to the Pretzel posts.
