Our Mini Meet Up

January 10th, 2011 @ 3:17 pm by Mrs. Brooch

Hey DC, MD, and VA bees…we would have loved a few more at our area meet up Friday, January 7th at Pentagon City! We need to quickly plan another one! Maybe before my April wedding? Please!

The whole thing was kind of planned on a whim so if you didn’t hear it was happening, don’t feel bad! I don’t know about everyone else, but I really, really enjoyed getting together with other 2011 brides! This was my first meet up and actually my first time meeting anyone through Weddingbee!

Besides the awesomeness of meeting others who love and cherish Weddingbee, it was really just nice to share plans with people who understand and empathize being a bride; people who really get it! It’s like we all speak the same language, and I love that!

Yearns4god is getting married in the DC area and the date is set for May 2012!

MsHangry is a planning a July wedding in Georgia.

Miss Beaumont is having a Country Club wedding in Michigan.

Sali2011 is getting married in July at the Carlyle Club in Alexandria! And you won’t believe this, but the same night as our meet up she found her dream wedding day shoes!

Now I’m thinking about shoes, of course! That, and meeting with OTHER area brides and bees! Have you been to a meet up?

Do you have an interest? Let’s get the discussion going on the boards!

I loved the Philly meet-up! Hope we do it again. Meeting the hive members and bees to talk, what else weddings, is a great time.

Was this posted here on the blog? I would have loved to be there, and had been waiting for a DC meetup for a LONG time, since last one I was out of town. Too bad :(
