DIY Custom Wedding Album Design

April 24th, 2009 @ 8:33 am by Mrs. Ant

Hello hive! You’re probably wondering why an ’06 bride is posting again on Weddingbee. I wish it were because I’m planning a spectacular vow-renewal extravaganza. How exciting would that be? But… no such luck.

I’m simply posting again to address a defunct slideshow of my DIY wedding album design that has been down for years. Brides have been regularly emailing me for a working link to…

The Best Details

May 14th, 2008 @ 12:31 pm by Mrs. Ant

Well, the secret’s out now. Our wedding totally degenerated into an episode of “Wedding Gone Wild“. Classy, eh?

I couldn’t imagine a better way to kick off our marriage than with a fantastically fun celebration with our closest friends and family. Vacation + Vows = Wondrous Weekend

About Mrs. Ant

Modern Bride : Can you remember other parts of the wedding that were emotional/ memorable and how they made you feel?

After dinner and dessert, it actually started to rain. At first, I was worried because our wedding was set up outdoors. The resort does have an alternate venue in case of inclement weather, but it would have meant interrupting the party to move the reggae band,…

Isle Style: The Unbridaled Story

May 12th, 2008 @ 2:02 pm by Mrs. Ant

Unfortunately, Modern Bride was limited to a 2-page spread and couldn’t fit in some of my favorite stories or the wilder photos. Fortunately, I happen to have my own personal publishing platform. (Hooray for blogs!) So I’m going to share the inside scoop on the parts of the interview that didn’t make it into the magazine spread.

Tokyo Food: Honorable Mentions

March 25th, 2008 @ 6:34 pm by Mrs. Ant

Mr. Ant and I have very different interests and polar opposite personalities. But when it comes to our burning love for food, the gastronomical stars aligned perfectly for us. We truly are tastebud-dies, best-foodies-forever, restaurant-affectionados, and even soul-food-mates.

One of the reasons why we chose to honeymoon in Tokyo was because it’s one of the Culinary Capitals of the world. And our experiences there fulfilled all…

Mount Fuji And Hakone

March 21st, 2008 @ 12:34 pm by Mrs. Ant

Popular side trip destinations from Tokyo include Mount Fuji and Hakone.

Mr. Ant and I were incredibly lucky to catch such a glorious view of the majestic Mount Fuji, since it is, unfortunately, almost always cloaked in clouds. Mt. Fuji’s exceptionally symmetrical cone is probably the most photographed symbol of Japan. (click on images to enlarge for detail)

Modern Tokyo

March 20th, 2008 @ 2:34 pm by Mrs. Ant

During our honeymoon in Japan last year, I was struck by the collision of traditional and modern Tokyo. Somehow, two contradictory energies coexist within this megacity:

  • the zen and beauty that lingers from an older era of quiet and responsible propriety (”tatemae“)
  • the urgency of a new consumer culture and the bizarre madness of Tokyo’s fun-loving youth

Traditional Tokyo

March 19th, 2008 @ 3:21 pm by Mrs. Ant

Despite getting married in Nov 2006, we didn’t take our official honeymoon until April 2007. One of the reasons why we delayed our honeymoon by several months was to coincide our trip to Japan with the peak “sakura” (cherry blossom) season.

The wait was worth it! We enjoyed “hanami” (sakura-viewing) and admired the lovely sakura in Ueno Park, Tokyo. (click on images to enlarge for detail)

Garba Raas!

January 31st, 2008 @ 4:42 pm by Mrs. Ant

As Miss Jasmine has shown us, Indian culture is incredibly rich, colorful, and vibrant. Last summer, one of my best friends married his beautiful wife with a 4-day long celebration full of Indian traditions and lively dancing. I’ll share some details of the Gujurati garba-raas event, which took place the night before their ceremony and reception. It was amazing to watch and even more exhilarating…
