After getting our hair did (yes, I realize that is grammatically incorrect), my bridesmaids and I took a quick stroll to my hotel room at Sofitel Philadelphia, where we got dressed and ready to head off to the museum. The shot above is of me failing to tie a bow properly—the only way I know how to tie a bow is by doing it the…

Hello hive! I’d like to apologize for the lack of post-wedding beecaps on my end. I’ve been so stressed since the wedding ended; I haven’t found the time to get back in the swing of things. I’m still job hunting, while Mr. Candy Corn is in school full time until he graduates in May. You may recall that we had planned on doing a double honeymoon…

On the morning of our wedding, around 7AM, I received a text from Mr. Candy Corn asking me where our iron was (if you recall, he was staying at our apartment while I stayed at the fancy hotel…sweet deal for me!). Turns out that Mr. CC ended up accidentally leaving the iron on for two whole days while we were staying at the hotel after…

I apologize for the delay in my beecaps! I know, I know, no excuses! In all honesty though, I’ve been job hunting (with no luck) non-stop during my free time, which hasn’t left me with much of a life. I’ll get down to business now and start recapping our lovely rehearsal dinner, which took…

Back when I was 15, my parents and I would visit my brother who lives in NYC every few months. Although I had fun going to art museums and soaking up all of the culture the Big Apple had to offer, I decided that as an obsessive Saturday Night Live fan, it was time for me to head to NBC Studios where my dreamy high…

My bachelorette party started off at our hotel room at the Sofitel, where I generally made this face a lot, in fear of all of the public attention that I was about to endure.

These photos are Mrs. CC-heavy, since Mr. CC was being followed by the photographer’s assistant for most of the day (and we haven’t seen any of those photos yet), so brace yourself for lots of girly grinning!

I’m officially a Mrs.!!! Despite there being many moments of drama (for instance, me breaking out in a crazy rash just as I was about to go down the aisle), the wedding was still perfect in my book. I can’t wait to start recapping and sharing stories with you, like how Mr. Candy Corn was left waiting at the altar for several…

I can’t believe our wedding day is nearly here. I’ve been nothing but excited for it for months and months, but now that it’s here, it’s all a surreal whirl of emotions that I can’t even begin to express. I think the thing that baffles me most is all of the attention and love that is being thrown at us. I’m running on two hours of sleep (there…

In addition to designing and making our invites, the lovely Cindi from BrassPaperClip whipped together our programs in a matter of days! She is the sweetest Etsy seller I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of custom creations! Our program design was heavily borrowed from Mrs. Lily (whose hubby designed their ultra…

Mr. Candy Corn’s stepfather is from France (Mr. CC lived there for quite some time and is fluent in French as well), which has resulted in us having nearly a dozen French guests who will be attending our wedding. Some know a great deal of English, some don’t speak any, so I wanted them to feel included by inserting some French-lovin’ here and there. The…

On Saturday, Mr. Candy Corn and I met up with our wedding photographers & friends, Laura & Michael to scout locations within the Penn Museum for our wedding photos. The beautiful on-site gardens were obvious contenders for group shots, so we were on a mission to find indoor locations that would make for some great portraits. Michael & I were both sick with a dizzy/sore…

As I mentioned before, we decided to use MOO cards for our escort cards. I printed 70 or so name cards on sticker paper, cut them out, and stuck each of them on the back of the coordinating MOO card. Here’s a look at the cards from the front in our silver cake holders:

After much procrastinating, I wrapped up our bird table numbers project last week! One short Bridezillas marathon was all it took for me to finish up the last four birdies (a super sweet Mr. CC ordered the WE channel for me after I mentioned my not-so-secret addiction!).
