Weddingbee Blog

Do you know what today is? It’s my Weddingbee One Year Anniversary! It’s true!

On this day, 365 days ago, I began to blog along with the hive. I was engaged 5 months and had moved to England 15 days earlier. Looking at back at my first post I couldn’t stop laughing—if only I had known! I joked about folding a million paper flowers, and cutting wine bottles, and creating place holder corks; all projects that would become miniature labors of love. Not to mention all the invitation related projects that I can’t believe I added in along the way!

Looking back from that first post, I had so much to learn and share about immigration, name changes, and ultimately deciding what country we’ll reside in (we’re still working on a few all of those). A year ago I had no idea I’d be celebrating our union without my Grandmother, or the profound effect her passing would have on me. Who could have imagined I’d “meet” such wonderful women to invite to our wedding?

I’d also like to confess that it wasn’t for lack of pro pics that I’m starting my recaps now.

Our photographer sent a disk of photos within a month. I hadn’t started because I just wasn’t ready. It’s the same reason I put off watching the Glee finale on Hulu. Once I finish, my tenure will be over, but unlike Glee, our wedding won’t magically restart in April and I won’t get to keep blogging consistently with you all. I needed to savor it all just little bit longer. Please consider this my apology for not being ready to recap juuuuust yet.

So, to kick off my recaps I’ll begin with a bang. Here is my favorite photo from our wedding. It captures all the joy of our wedding in a single frame. If I’m ever feeling low, I just glance over at the framed photo and it buoys my spirits.

Is there a photo you enjoy the most from your wedding, or was it a tough choice to choose only one?
