About Me: I enjoy people watching (especially in New Jersey malls), obsessive collecting, drooling over contemporary art, browsing flea markets for vintage finds and eating an absurd amount of cheese. In my Philadelphia abode, I create mixed media artwork and one-of-a-kind home accessories in the company of my farmer-tanned fiancé, our Westiepoo (Betty White), our three rabbits (Cadbury, Willie Nelson and Applesauce) and our two frisky chinchillas (Ethel Funk and Maude).
Mr. Candy Corn and I have been slowwwly adding items to our registry lists for the past couple of months (I thought we were done at one point and then looked at the number of items on our list and it was a whopping 14 items). I would’ve never thought that picking out gift options would be so difficult for us, but it’s harder than it looks to come up with a wide variety of items with different price ranges. Plus, I have some sort of weird Catholic school girl guilt (and I’m an athiest, so I’m not sure how that works out…) when it comes to people buying things for us. I’d be ecstatic if the only gift we receive is a monkey peeler. Come on folks, it’s shaped like a monkey AND it peels things!
Drumroll, please. I would now like to introduce you to our insanely cluttered collage o’ my favorite registry items (compliments of Polyvore, thanks to Ms. Flamingo’s recommendation!) !!

For our rehearsal dinner, which will take place on the eve of our wedding, we’ve decided to go with the super delicious Japanese & Thai restaurant, Teikoku!

As far as our wedding cake goes, we know we want it to be round with buttercream vanilla frosting, but other than that, we’re having a difficult time making a decision on the decorations and flavors!
Since the cake is included in our catering package with the museum, it would be foolish not to use the cake decorator provided. Judging from the photos we saw of the baker’s past work, he seems to work with minimal designs, so we’re trying to find a very simplistic and elegant design that they can work with - that way we don’t have to go over budget with fancy fondant frills.
Help us pick between our favorites (or feel free to comment with suggestions of your own!):

On our two year anniversary (the year Mr. Candy Corn proposed), I gave Mr. Candy Corn 365 Hershey kisses, each one with a note inside wrapped around it, with reasons why I love him (it may not sound like a lot, but 365 reasons were pretty hard to come up with!). It took me months to do this (unwrapping and re-wrapping the kisses with the neatly-written note). I put them in our “happy box” that I collaged with things that reminded me of us. Anyway, Mr. Candy Corn opened the happy box sometime last summer and discovered where our random roaches were coming from (we’d find one once a month or so). The box was infested with hundreds of roaches (AHH!), so we had to throw all of the Hershey kisses away. It probably wasn’t the most well thought out anniversary present on my part. Note to self: next time use Tupperware!
Luckily, I had written down all of the 365 reasons in a notebook so Mr. CC could look back on them. I decided to share them with the Weddingbee readers, to give you folks a sneak peek into our somewhat bizarro relationship.

(Minus the most important ingredient… cake!)
In all honesty, Mr. Candy Corn and I were a little nervous about our wedding tasting. We had no other choice but to go with Museum Catering, so we were crossing our fingers that the food would live up to all of the great hype we had heard. Luckily for us and our guests, it totally did! We couldn’t be more happy with the catering staff and the food is absolutely amaaaaaaazing. The sesame almond coated chicken was to die for. There are no words. I even loved the vegetarian entree, and I am not a fan of mushrooms, so I was pretty shocked that I was asking them to pack up some leftovers for me.
*Note Mr. Candy Corn’s very clean plate. Also note how much I resemble a muppet.

I recently realized that I never gave calligraphy a second thought. I always figured I’d be devoting several weeknights to mastering curlicues while clutching a bottle of Wite-Out. Then, I started obsessing.

Can I just say that I can’t wait for the bachelor/bachelorette parties? Mr. Candy Corn and I aren’t really the stripper-lovin’ types, so we’re being rather well-behaved for our bachelorette/bachelor parties. To start the night off, the ladies will be gathering into a girly cluster and heading over to Old City’s The Continental Restaurant & Martini Bar, Stephen Starr’s first restaurant that opened in 1996 and is still as popular and as delicious as ever.

Thanks to my parents being super generous on my birthday, this bad boy will be on my doorstep in just a few days from Japan!

I think I found my dream wedding shoes. So far, everyone I’ve shown these to has giggled at the idea of me wearing these as my wedding shoes, but I just can’t help myself. Luckily for the bunny haters out there, I can’t find them in my size (7.5). Boo!
