Mrs. Bee

How do I write a Bee Spotlight on myself? 
Well, you’ve been following along with my life the past couple of years through Weddingbee, so there isn’t much new news to share. So instead I thought I’d share a couple of our wedding pictures, because I never really posted any. Why? Here’s another little Bee Secret — I don’t post pictures of Mr. Bee. I share so much of my life, I figure at least one aspect has to remain private right?
a park under the Brooklyn Bridge where we took pics before the wedding
So here are some details from our Big Day. Remember — this was back in the day when we used film cameras, and walked ten miles to school with no shoes in the snow — so these are all scanned pictures.
I wish I had a better picture of the back of my Anne Barge dress. The front was pretty simple, but the train was covered in beading in an upside down v shape, and peeked out when I walked or bustled my dress. It was what made me buy the dress!
We had very simple invitations from Dauphine Press. They had a leaf motif which we carried throughout our wedding stationery…
Flowers from Belle Fleur
Bridesmaids’ bouquets
Groomsmen’s bouts
Mr. Bee’s bout
Flower girl wreath
Mr. Bee’s nephew, and our ring bearer!
Florals atop the fireplace mantle where we held our ceremony
Cocktail table centerpieces
Centerpieces
Vases filled with varying levels of water and floating candles lined all the windows
An arrangement in the garden room
Me and my family in front of a hydrangea centerpiece at the venue entrance
With my MOH
Our polaroid wish book table….
Was a hit!
We snacked on munchies from the extra OOT guest bags while getting ready.
Mr. Bee’s dad wore a traditional Filipino shirt, a barong, for the wedding.
Getting ready for the Korean Paebaek ceremony…
The first, and probably only time, that I will wear the traditional Korean dress, a hanbok.
This bag holds dates and chestnuts that Mr. Bee and I are supposed to catch in a scarf. They represent the number of sons and daughters that we are supposed to have.
My cousins and brother throw dates and chestnuts!
Looks like we’re supposed to have a lot of kids?
My bridesmaid Sandy after she missed the bouquet - one of my favorite wedding pictures!
And oh there was so much dancing!
Led all night by our incomparably adorable flower girl and Mr. Bee’s niece, Anya.
Yes we had too good of a time. 
I apologize for rushing through this post — the electricity is about to turn off in 3 minutes!

Wow! You look amazing in the Korean Paebaek ceremony pictures! What a nice recap- did it bring you back down memory lane?
I love seeing these pictures. Your centerpieces are classic and lovely! I wish I could see the back of your dress, too! That’s why I chose mine, too, though.
Tell Mr. Bee he has a very handsome bottom-mouth (bottom of his face/mouth, not hiney). And the same to BIL, too, I guess!
I love your pictures the paebaek getting ready photo is so so beautiful and elegant. I love your photos, what happened in the last photo did a bm fall?
lovely lovely!! More photos!!
You look absolutely GORG in that picture for the Korean Paebaek ceremony!
Lovely post, Mrs. Bee–You look so beautiful and I especially enjoyed the pictures with you in traditional Korean garb…I’ve only been following WeddingBee since late summer–did you do a post on the traditional Korean ceremony portion of your wedding? Maybe that would be a fun feature from all the different bees–old and new–wedding traditions from different cultures/heritages and how they incorporated those traditions in their ceremonies (I so enjoyed the post about your trip!).
So fun to see your pictures! The headdress for the Paebaek ceremony is so pretty.
You look beautiful. And Mr. Bee is very mysterious, which of course leads us to think he is wicked handsome.
Its hard to believe I’ve been reading WB for so long and I still get to learn new stuff about you! Your flowers were so beautiful! I wish I had as much hair as you!
the man in the background of the picture of your FIL looks amazingly like tom cruise!
and your dress is absolutely beautiful.
and when i first came across weddingbee and read about your paebaek inspired me to have my own paebaek ceremony if i ever get engaged 
Beautiful beautiful pictures!! Loved the the traditional Korean dress.
I love the hanbok…. it’s fun to have traditional Asian costumes and the Western wedding gown all at the same time..
No wonder, i kept on buying wedding dresses (already have 3 in my wardrobe) and just the chinese QiPao (cheong sam)
