Weddingbee Blog

I can’t believe that I’m a BEE! When Pengy emailed me, I was in the car driving to Ohio for my sister’s wedding, went straight to her bachelorette party, fell into bed afterwards, and didn’t get the email until the next day. But when I DID get it, I acted a fool, believe me! I screamed at the top of my lungs and my mom and sister didn’t even know what to think! I didn’t have too much time for my bee status to sink in though––Sister Socks’ wedding was the next day and I had some maid of honor duties to handle!

So just coming from my sister’s wedding and with my wedding in four months (my parents are having a VERY busy year), I have so much to talk about!

And just who are the Socks’? We are wine-loving Philly transplants from the Midwest––I’m from Cincinnati, Mr. Socks is from Detroit. I came to Philly for college and Mr. Socks moved to Southern NJ for his job as an engineer. We met via eHarmony during my senior year at Drexel University and we truly are compatible on 27 different levels (thanks eHarmony)! We have two adorable Wire Fox Terriers who keep us on our toes, and a garden that is just never big enough for all that we’d love to grow.

What can you expect from our wedding? We’re having a DIY city wedding in downtown Philly at Ladder 15––an old firehouse that has been converted into the chic space where we’re delighted to host all of our out-of-town Midwestern guests! Our DIY projects include (but are not limited to): our save-the-dates/invitations/all paper goods, flowers and centerpieces, we’re writing our own ceremony, and many many smaller projects that I’m sure you’ll hear all about soon enough!

I can’t wait to share more with you and I’m just so honored to be a bee!
