Weddingbee Blog

I was looking through my old posts trying to pick out my favorite Weddingbee post. I picked this one because I can still remember how ridiculously excited I was when I finally got the email that said that I was going to be a blogger on Weddingbee! You would have thought I won the lotto or something. I was elated and slightly dazed. I am very blessed and lucky to be in the company of such wonderful, creative and supportive individuals. Thank you for allowing me to share and celebrate “everything wedding” with all of you…

Hi *points to name tag* I am Miss Jelly Beans and I am a weddingplannaholic!

Once upon a time (July 2005), in a land far, far away (it’s really not that far), Mr. Jelly Beans got down on one knee (he hates getting his clothes dirty, so I knew this was big), on a very windy day (good thing I had a cute white blazer on), at the very top of the Eiffel tower and asked Miss Jelly Beans to be his wife. To this day he claims Tom Cruise stole his idea.

We have been together for almost 9 years now and have been in a long distance relationship for 6. I moved from sunny-all-year, Los Angeles to four-seasons, Ottawa 6 years ago with my family. This was not a deterrent but merely a minor navigational glitch in our relationship.

Since that day, I have been envisioning our pink, brown and sparkly wedding with a vintage, Parisian twist. My middle name is Details. People (Mr. Jelly Beans & my mom) refer to me as, Miss Jelly Details Beans.

We are both 3/4 Filipino and 1/4 Chinese (Thanks Lolo Johnny) = 1 Perfect match! I swear it was meant to be. We would love to incorporate both cultures in our wedding celebration.

I am thankful each and every day that we have been blessed with the existence of sugar! So choosing Miss Jelly Beans was a no-brainer. With all the pretty colors and flavors, what’s not to love?

Because we all share that special “I have, I am or I will be planning a wedding” bond, I thought I should share a few useless facts about myself and Mr. Jelly Beans.

- Mr. Jelly Beans sounds like a little girl when he giggles
- Miss Jelly Beans sounds like a 5 year old boy in the morning (Just ask any telemarketer)
- Mr. Jelly Beans likes to dust every Wednesday
- Miss Jelly Beans likes to put sugar in her spaghetti

Now don’t you feel like you know so much more about where this jelly has “bean”?

I am so excited to bee sharing my wedding journey with all of you. I hope I can inspire you in some way or another as all of you have inspired me.

Love and lotsa sugar,

Miss Jelly Beans
