Mrs. Hot Cocoa, Boston/Los Angeles Age and Occupation: 31, JD/PhD Student Fiance's Age and Occupation: 32, Medical Student Engagement Date: May 30, 2008 Wedding Date: March, 2009 Blogging Since: April, 2008 Venue: Ritz Carlton, Marina Del Rey About Me: I am a professional student by day and an amateur cupcake taster, bargain shopper, and wedding planner by night. I am obsessed with NPR, the Food Network, paper, dance shows, Anthropologie, post-structuralist theory, Weddingbee!, "The Office," and celebrity gossip. When not procrastinating from my dissertation, I spend time catering to Jellyby, our overly anxious shih tzu, and getting to know Mr. Hot Cocoa. We have only been dating for fifteen years, so it's like I'm in love with a stranger! From the East Coast, we are planning a Jewish-Chinese Extravaganza in L.A., where we both grew up.
About Mrs. Hot Cocoa

Hello! Just popping by because I saw that Gilt Groupe is pairing up with Martha Stewart Weddings for a Wedding Weekend.

From their announcement:

Love is in the air … and so is the flutter of show-stopping bridal gowns, bridesmaids’ dresses, wedding gifts and so much more. As part of Gilt’s Wedding Weekend with Martha Stewart Weddings, from March 12-14, we’ll be bringing you everything you need, want and can’t imagine walking down the aisle without — from beribboned silk heels to the perfect topaz necklace. (Something blue? Done.) We’ll also have sharp suits for the groom, get-pretty prep packages for the bridal party, dreamily decadent lingerie, and stuff-of-dreams honeymoon packages courtesy of Jetsetter. And if your head’s spinning with the task at hand, chin up — wedding editor Darcy Miller is on hand to offer her expert advice. This is your weekend to sit back, sign in to Gilt, and create a wonderful wedding at jaw-dropping prices. Enjoy the calm before the storm.

Join the party! Shop sales from Thread, Amsale, Carolina Herrera, Temperley London, Prive Salons, Judith Leiber, Tara Pearls, BluePrint Cleanse and more.
Gilt’s Wedding Weekend starts Friday, March 12, at noon ET.

I can’t believe they didn’t have this back when I was wedding planning. Oh how I would have fawned and drooled over a Temperley wedding dress!

If you’re not yet a member, here’s an invitation. Buy something fabulous on the cheap so that Haute Cocoa can live vicariously. (Oh, and just remember that if you want to get your hands on something great, you’d probably want to click on right at noon. It’s going to be a virtual Running of the Brides.)

OK, I’m going back into retirement now. Feel free to come visit me at the old age home. I’ll keep a few Werther’s Originals in my pocket for you youngsters.

P.S. And in related news, did you hear that Anthropologie is also coming out with a wedding line? Oh how I wish I were a summer 2010 bride!

Thanks! I am a big fan of gilt and saw that over the weekend! Even though my wedding is less than a month out, I am still going to check it out. So cruel about the Anthro line. I am sure it will be fabulous. Most of us probably won’t get to enjoy it, but I am excited for those of you who can!
