Wedding Blog

As I said in my last post, I was definitely on the fence about whether or not to stay as a blogger on Weddingbee after its sale to eHarmony. That post was actually written quite awhile ago, and I’ve had a lot of time to reflect—as you’ve noticed, I posted one of my wedding recap posts, and then kinda disappeared off the face of the…

This post was originally published here, along with posts by Mrs. Bee, Mrs. Gingerbread, and Miss Sweet Tea.  The comments on all those posts can be found at the link above.

When Bee first shared with me that she had sold Weddingbee, I was thrilled for her.  She has worked long nights for years, making this site into what it is today, and I totally support…

Guess what?! We finally got our professional pictures back!! I love them soooo much. I love our photographer soooo much. So, people, let’s get started!

The first part of our day was the Chinese tea ceremony, and the only person who knew what was going on was my MIL, who was late (ha ha). For awhile we just chatted with Mr. Cream Puff’s family, who were…

On my last post, a reader named Kelly made a comment that got me thinking: she said we’d chosen a less-than-ideal spot for our wedding, because it was a public park and strangers were talking. It’s true–it wasn’t ideal in a few ways. The park service was really difficult to coordinate with, and there weren’t any good bathrooms. However, Mr. Cream Puff and I haven’t…

It would be foolish to expect your wedding to be 100% perfect, and I’m no fool. I expected that a few things would go wrong. Little things. You know, the groomsmen are a little bit late, the frosting on the cake is off-white instead of white, things like that. I truly didn’t think anything big would go wrong. In a way, I think we expected that…

As you may recall, I was about a quarter of the way through our programs when I accidentally jammed my sewing machine and production STOPPED. You may also recall that our solution to this problem was to have a cobbler sew the rest of them, but that they were sewn with the wrong color of thread, prompting my major wedding meltdown (even though it really…

A couple of days ago, we FINALLY received the CD of our photobooth pictures from the wedding. This means two things: First, I can share them with you, and second, I can make our guestbook! We had 105 different photobooth pictures, and they were all pretty great, for various reasons. We seemed to have three main themes: boob grabbing, strangling and kissing. I’d really like…

Part 1, Part 2

I have officially been MIA for over a week, and here is why: I didn’t feel good. I think I’m doing better now though, so I have no excuse not to get off my lazy bum and write our last honeymoon post! This one’s about our excursions. We went on two.

Excursion #1 was to Tulum, where we swam in a cenote, experienced…

Just a reminder! There’s going to be a BEE MEETUP in the bay area tonight! Here’s the deal: a bunch of local gals thought it would be fun to meet and hang out, so they decided to plan a get-together (thanks, guys!). They’ve planned the meetup for:

Sunday, August 24th at 6pm
Beretta
1199 Valencia Street
San Francisco CA, 94110

Thanks for your support regarding my sickness, guys! I went to the doctor yesterday and was given Cipro (an antibiotic). They seem to think that I have E. Coli. YAY. Such a joy. I am pretty much living off of Gatorade and saltine crackers. This is an annoying diet when regular food actually looks kinda tasty (kinda). Usually I eat this stuff when I’m nauseous…

I would like to preface this post by saying that we did, in fact, have a very relaxing honeymoon, and the Caribbean Ocean simply cannot be beat. However, this post is not about how great our honeymoon was (that comes tomorrow). This is a post about getting really sick, and how you can avoid getting really sick yourself.

We’ve been back from our honeymoon for a…

Originally, Mr. Cream Puff and I made the decision that we would see one another before our ceremony for formal pictures. We did this to be practical, even though we both would prefer to see each other for the first time at the ceremony.

Well, when we changed photographers, we also changed our minds. “Screw practicality!” we said. We decided to wait to see one another…

Wanna hear a funny story? I thought you might.

We left for our honeymoon late on Monday night after our Saturday wedding. On Monday morning, I got a very strange phone call. “Hello, Ms. Cream Puff? This is [MIL Puff’s Name].” I thought to myself, “No, this is not MIL Puff. I know MIL Puff’s voice, and this is not MIL Puff. So who the heck…

It makes sense that this post should follow the rehearsal dinner post, because we gave our bridal party the gifts AT the rehearsal dinner.

First, the girls. Because San Francisco can be chilly, I wanted to get them wraps to keep them warm during the wedding. I had a bright pink pashmina to wear that day with my white dress, so I thought it might be…

I haven’t been to many rehearsal dinners before, but I doubt many of them were like ours. Complete with atrocious singing voices and Momma Puff & FIL Puff running around with shriveled chicken heads on forks, our pre-wedding party was quite the spectacle. It even started out a little wacky:

Most of our guests met us in the lobby of the Grand Hyatt, where we were…
