No, silly, not that jelly.
THIS Jelly!
Hello, I’m Miss Jellyfish, but you can call me Jelly! I’ve been a devoted Weddingbee reader since shortly after Mr. Jelly and I got engaged a year ago, and I even started blogging with the hopes that I might one day apply to be a bee myself. I feel so honored to be part of this amazing community and I’m excited to share my wedding plans with all of you! But before we get into the nitty-gritty wedding stuff, here’s some background on the Jellies:
The Jellies at Monterey Bay Aquarium
Mr. Jelly and I met while living on the same floor as freshmen at UCLA. We’ve been friends for 7 1/2 years and have been dating for 6 1/2! I’m a third-year law student getting ready to graduate and join the real world; he’s an active duty Air Force pilot who has been in the real world for some time now. Where I’m neurotic, he’s laid back; where I’m wishy-washy, he’s decisive… he’s practically the peanut butter to my jelly (oh come on, you saw that coming).
Despite our compatible personalities, the last 6 1/2 years haven’t just floated by (heh). We’ve had to work hard to maintain our relationship through 2 years of long distance and 2 deployments (and counting). The hard work has paid off and we’re so excited to be married in September! We’re planning an elegant, Tuscan-inspired wedding for 200 guests, to be held at a winery halfway between our parents’ houses. Follow along and discover just how truly indecisive this Jelly can be.
So… why Miss Jellyfish? The new sea creature icons are all so cute that it was hard to pick, but something about the Jellyfish just tugged at my heartstrings. Every time I go to an aquarium I run past all the other cool stuff and head straight towards the jellies. I love watching them float around, all mesmerizing and ethereal-like. Plus, jellies can be pretty hardcore—don’t mess with them or they’ll sting you. But mostly, I just think they’re cute. And kinda goofy. That sounds about right.

Fun jelly fact: “Jellyfish” is a misnomer. Jellies aren’t actually fish at all.
“he’s practically the peanut butter to my jelly.” Heehee. Too cute! I love that jellyfish photo at the end. I actually have an image like that clipped in my wedding stuff because we almost had a blue and orange/yellow wedding that would be inspired by jellyfish! Welcome Jelly Bruin!

Welcome! Now did you make a special trip to the aquarium after getting the jellyfish moniker or was that unplanned?

Mrs. Jellyfish, Pleasanton, CA Age and Occupation: 27, Law Student Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Air Force Pilot Engagement Date: February 21, 2009 Wedding Date: September 2010 Venue: Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery About Me: In a nutshell, I’m the most optimistic worrywart you’ll ever meet. My family emigrated from Romania to San Jose, CA when I was 8, and I've been a Nor Cal girl ever since! My fiancé is also a Bay Area native, so it’s funny that we met at UCLA, as college freshmen living on the same floor (go Bruins!). Between his career as an Air Force pilot and my path to becoming a lawyer, our relationship has been anything but typical. We currently live together in Berkeley with our puppy Stinson. In addition to spending time with the loves of my life, I enjoy crafting, attempting complicated recipes, environmental law and non-law school reading (Us Weekly, anyone?). Follow along as I plan an elegant 200-person winery wedding, graduate law school, take the Bar exam, get married and get used to the always unpredictable but never boring life of a military spouse!
