Weddingbee Blog
About a month ago, Mrs. Dahlia let the Boston bees know that she’d be in town for a few days, and was wondering if anyone might be interested in getting together for some dinner and drinks. Miss Seahorse and I took her up on the offer, and it turns out that Miss Seahorse is exactly as fun and nice and interesting as she seems on her blog (which is to say, very!). So, now we are blog-turned-real-life friends. The Internet is magical!
Anyway, MOH/Sister Lauren was in town visiting me for a few days, and she and Bridesmaid/Cousin Katie are both avid Weddingbee readers, so I texted Seahorse to see if she was around. She was! So she and Fancee came over to my house and we all drank wine and talked about weddings (and some other stuff)! Lauren and Katie were extremely thrilled to meet a real live Weddingbee blogger in the flesh (I mean, other than me—I am not exciting to them).
Fun fact about Seahorse and Fancee:
They are both tiny. Like, kind of elfin, actually. They’re both a solid six inches shorter than I am. I think it’s probably better that the three of us didn’t take a picture together, because it might have looked scary, like I was going to eat them both after the photo op was done. But I do have some other pictures!
Weddingbee spouses-to-be, totally game for Internet-friend meet ups. Daffodil, however, had to be bribed onto the arm of the couch with a piece of Pirate’s Booty. She is mid-chew.
I said, “make those faces you always make on your blog,” and they knew exactly what I was talking about. Ha!
Here are Seahorse and Daffodil bonding. My dog is basically a marshmallow with legs.
I didn’t have any bee, seahorse, or octopus items for us to hold up. So, instead, we held up Mr. Octo’s Hans Moleman, Captain America, and Doctor Who toys, and Daffodil’s stuffed sheep. Use your imagination.
Then, after Seahorse and Fancee left, Lauren prank-called our dad (who is a regular hunter) pretending to be the ten-point buck that eludes him every hunting season. We’re both really broke. You have to make your own fun.
Thanks for coming over and hanging out with us, Seahorse and Fancee! It was super fun! Also, P.S.: we got a sneak peek of their wedding invitations and wedding dresses, and it’s all fabulous. You’re going to love it!
Have you made any friends through Weddingbee?
Cute story 
I made a friend through weddingbee! I met someone in the boards who went wedding dress shopping with me at ROTB because my family all lives out of state. It worked out great!
Ahh I had so much fun! And this post made me laugh out loud at work. AND I appreciate the term elfin… no one is quite prepared for how little we are, especially together. And Fancee is practically miniature.
And, ahem, I LOOOOVE your Daffodil.
I met a couple readers a few months ago and grab lunch and plan lunch walks with one of them ….no meeting any bees yet (come on Octo you know you want to visit Corning soon)!
Haha, love it! Sounds like a blast! I’ve made some friends through the ‘bee
Aww, how sweet!! Pug and I are good friends now too.
Awww, that looks like fun!!!
And on a completely unrelated note, that cool asian-looking wardrobe thingy in your house is awesome!!
I always though Miss Seahorse was tall!!
How cute! I definitely made some great friends through Weddingbee!
Can we have a Boston meetup? I’m moving from the city next month (finishing grad school tomorrow!), and would love to have a meetup before I move off to boring Connecticut!
As soon as I made my intro post all these Japan bees came out. I honestly thought I was the only one because I was active on the boards and no one said a thing. Two blogging bees are coming to Japan this month and they have my contact details, and I’m meeting up with a reader for crafting stuff later in August!
Oh and it looks like you girls (and guy, and dog) had fun!
I laughed out loud at the prank call….I’m going to use that on my dad come fall
@clane616: Awww, how fun! Yay Weddingbee!
@Miss Seahorse: Haha, I wasn’t going to use the term miniature, but if you’re comfortable with it….
@Miss Locket: Oh man, I DO want to come to CNY soon!
@Mrs. Frozen Yogurt: Aw, I didn’t know you and Pug had gotten close!
@Mrs. Trail Mix: Ooh, thanks! I spied it at an Indian furniture imports clearance sale and made Mr. O haul it like six blocks so I could have it 
@misschristinec@hotmail.com: Haha, no. They’re both 5′1, max, although I would say Fancee is probs only five foot.
@Leprechaun: That would be fun! You should post about it on the boards and see if other Boston people are game.
@Miss Glasses: I’m dyiiiiing to go to Japan. Could you and Mr. G hold off moving for like six months so I can fit that in?
@futuremrsmarks: Hahaha. He did have to laugh.
