It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye

It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye

Not only to yesterday, but also to you—the hive. I held off long enough to share our album and video with you, and now it looks like it’s time to say goodbye.

I can still remember the rush of excitement I felt when I received that acceptance email from Pengy a little over a year ago. Your warm welcome and incredibly sweet comments as I shared with you our blue and green, travel themed wedding truly made an impact. Not only on our special day, but also in my heart. I don’t think there are words to express how much this experience has meant to me.

Weddingbee inspired me to find my inner DIY crafter and create various projects as well as all of our paper products from our invites to those infamous programs. You weren’t just there for all of the fun, pretty stuff. You were there when vendors fell off the face of the planet and when the stress became just a little bit too much. And for that, I can’t thank you enough.

This may be my “goodbye” post, but I’ll still be around here and there. If I can find any wedding related posts up my sleeve, you know I’ll be happy to pop back in. I’m kinda hooked on this whole blogging thing, so you can find me over at Oh Lordy! where I talk about our married life and the future hunt for our house. Hopefully I can incorporate some of these DIY skills to turn that house into a home.

I can’t believe that we’ve come to the end of our wedding journey, which you can catch up on over on the Elephant wiki page. If I could say thank you a million times, I still don’t think it would be enough for all of the love and support you have given me over the past year. Before the tears start rolling down my face again, I better wrap this up. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I hope you all have absolutely amazing, love filled wedding days and beautiful marriages!

Love Always,

Mrs. Elephant / Mrs. E / Lauren

Aww you almost made me cry! I am so emotional.
Anyway, good luck with all of you and Mr. Elephant’s future endeavors.

But before I go, I do want to say “thank you” for always being so positive! We all need that little bit of encouragement at times.

Thank you again… and I will definitely miss you.

E, you’re one of my favorites. Your amazing memory for every gift or favor from one of your loved ones and the way you showed them gratitude in your posts made me think of the phrase “An elephant never forgets.” All the best to you and Mr. E in your married life!

Thank you for sharing your wedding with the Hive. You were always so upbeat in your posting. I have sent so many Bees to your chocolate favors post, I even have it saved to my favorites. You were a great addition to the blog and you will be missed.

I didn’t start following you until you were in the middle of your recaps, but you quickly became one of my favorite bees! I think what did it for me was the beautiful lighting you had at your reception & the talented photographer who captured that lighting so well. I aim to make my reception look like yours! Thanks for sharing your story with us!
