Wedding Blog

Being a blogger for Weddingbee has definitely made me feel special/sort of celebrity-ish at times. But I’m just a normal gal who blogged about her wedding planning, and it was an honor to share it with all of you. Some bees have been recognized in public on several occasions (crazy, I know!).

Mr. Flamingo and I took part of a wedding TV show called La Bosse…

Being a graphic designer, it’s a given that the computer is my best friend. Ask me what I can’t live without? I would say that it’s the computer/internet. Hey, it’s a combo! One can’t live without the other. Call it an addiction, or just plain curiosity, but I’m always online searching the ‘net, sharing cool sites, and all of that.

How my blogging obsession began: (2006)

WOW, I’m almost at the end of my recap posts and I’ve been married over a year. Can you believe it’s been that long since I got married? Time flies.

We when were planning our wedding, the honeymoon was something that was rather important (to me, at least). A getaway after the whole year-and-a-half of planning. Unfortunately, we soon realized that things were rather expensive… and…

When we were planning our wedding, the favors had been the subject of quite a big debate. We knew we wanted to offer a donation to the Quebec Breast Cancer Association, but felt that our guests needed to leave with something as well. We wanted to offer something glamorous, and these beautiful imported Italian Sparkling Water bottles were just what we were looking for.

We created…

A couple months ago, I was happy to find out that my cousin was getting married. What’s funny is that I had never ever thought she would tie the knot, but admitted she did it for her fiance. Marriage was something very important to him and she knew she’d be with him forever… so why not make it official? I found it to be a…

Hey hive! Guess what? I’m hopping on the BeeTV wagon. Join me tomorrow night (Friday) starting at 8:30 PM EST!

I will have my sangria in hand and will talk about anything and everything…

For those interested…. thought I’d share my sangria recipe:

• 1 Bottle of red wine
• 2 cup of orange juice
• 1 cup of cranberry juice
• 1 cup of  pineapple Juice
• 1 cup of  Sprite or 7UP
• 2 Shots of…

Though we didn’t do many traditional wedding things, the garter toss and bouquet toss were a must. Not because we had too… but because it’s something I’ve always looked forward to at my own wedding.

Plus, with the unique garter I made my new husband…. I had to have him go fish.

So, I stood on a speaker, turned around to look at the DJ, and…

Enough tears had fallen and it was time for the real party to start. Let me tell you… we did not have any problems with that. The guests were up an dancing even before the DJ cued the official “bust-a-move” music.

The dance floor was packed and we had such a great time. The music kept us on our feet, to the point that I missed…

If I could find Marty McFly, I’d hop in the DeLorean DMC-12 and go back in time. Not far back... back to June 20th. The day before our first anniversary. Sigh. I had great plans... really!

After we finished our first dance, we made our way to our seats and heard a little “ching ching”. I looked around and saw my father standing up, sweating bullets and trying to keep his cool. I knew from that nervous smile of his, it was time… he was ready to give his speech.

“I want my speech to be perfect,” he had told me earlier…

When I started planning our wedding, there is one thing that I kept looking for and had a hard time finding: the budget breakdown of a real wedding. Of course, the budget depends on a lot of factors. Location, date, and amount of guests, but still I wanted to have some sort of idea. Who wouldn’t?

What was particularly difficult with our situation was the Mr.…

Ever since I’ve become a bee, I’ve been in love with anything bee related, and it simply added to my already existing love of honey. I eat honey with practically anything… almost. So When I received an email with The Buzz about Naked Honey… I was excited!

It was perfect, even when tripping over chairs… because we were making our way to the dance floor for our first dance, something I’d been anticipating for as long as I can remember. (Cue Lifehouse’s acoustic version of Take Me Away.)

We decided we were going to do it differently and dance as soon as we were introduced as Mr. and Mrs. Flamingo. We wanted to…

Once we made our grand entrance outside, and seeing all our guests enjoying themselves with a little cocktail and hors d’oeuvres, the stress finally disappeared… and we knew it was time to relax, enjoy, and savor every moment of our wedding reception.

When guests walked in, they looked for their names on our chandelier tree. I had written their names and the table numbers, but in…

While watching TV last night, I saw a preview for a new chick flick: Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. I’m a sucker for love stories, and when weddings are involved, it’s like having chocolate sprinkles on my ice cream sundae (sorry, I’m not a cherry fan) . The story is a little over-the-top, but it’s bound to be funny, and there’s a great roundup of actors.…
