I must say… this is just about the most fun one person should have on a Sunday afternoon.

If you’re wondering what to do with your hair on your wedding day, look no further! At InStyle’s website, you can try on hair from dozens of celebrities! You can either a) create a virtual you or b) upload your own picture. I must say that the second is WAY more fun. Although it requires you to create an account, it’s totally free and totally worth it! I would suggest using a headshot where you’re looking straight and your hair is pulled away from your face.

Here are some of my results! (I do apologize in advance for the bazillion copies of my face below. I’m sick of it too, but gosh durnit, it was SO MUCH FUN!)

There is one venue in particular that, were money not an object, I would love love LOVE to use.  

I’m pretty sure that most little girls dream of having a “Mathematica” room at their wedding venue like I do… if that appeals to you, you’re in luck! Because the Boston Museum of Science does weddings! They can accommodate 25 to 4500 guests, and they are catered exclusively through Wolfgang Puck catering..

The Blue Wing

This is the central hall. There’s a 45-ft. T-Rex in one corner and an Apollo module floating overhead.

Mr. Bubblegum and I will forever disagree on how we started dating.  The basic concept is there, but who liked who when and where is all up in the air.  As part of our wedding website, we each decided to tell our side of the story. 

Her Story

It was the first night of college, and I was out looking for friends.  There was one room right across the hall from the common room that seemed to be brimming, so I made my way.  After many introductions and too many names to faces, I took a seat at one of the desks and rudely started playing Tetris on the graphing calculator that sat there.  After setting the highest score that calculator had ever seen (it’s been a while, so my memory on that might be murky), I noticed a letter on the desk addressed to “Willis.”  I thought I had met a “Will,” but could that skinny little shy kid sitting in the middle of the bed really have a name as bold as “Willis”?  As such, I exclaimed, “Is your name really Willis?!?!?!?!?”

Hello fellow bees, bee-keepers, and bee-enthusiasts!!!!  Miss Bubblegum here - SUPER excited to join the hive!  As Mrs. Bee was kind enough to point out, my headshot looks like I’ve won an award.. because THAT’S how I FEEL!

I have been planning my wedding now for 8 short months and have 7 shorter months ahead. Has anyone else had those moments when they say, “no need to worry.. it’s over a year away..” only seconds later to realize it is, in fact, NOT over a year away and has not been so for several months? Well gosh, me too!

I have been THOROUGHLY enjoying weddingbee ever since Mrs. Lemon’s fabric invitations were credited on a knottie bio. Did I mention I was super excited to be here??

Annd a little background.. Like Miss Canary, I also met the love of my life on my first day at Boston University. (So weird, right? It actually rains love potion in Boston - did you know that?) We lived on the same floor our freshman year and met the day we moved in. After a couple months of testing the water (and drinking the love potion), we finally started dating on October 27, 2001. We recently celebrated 6 years of un-wedded bliss and are ready to add a new anniversary to the list.
