“Our Wedding Isn’t Going to Be Anything Like YOURS.”
October 7th, 2008 @ 10:59 am by Mrs. Strawberry
Mr. Strawberry was recently talking with his friend Andy and his fiancee about their upcoming wedding and whether or not they were nervous or not. They both agreed they were not, but made a point that it was going to be nothing like our wedding. Mr. Strawberry was a bit confused by this statement. The bride continued by saying that there wouldn’t be any birds at her wedding. WTF!? Was she making a jab at OUR wedding!?

That’s Not Quite What I Had In Mind…
July 25th, 2008 @ 8:25 am by Mrs. Strawberry
When you’re a bride, you get a certain vision in your heard as to what the big day is going to look like. I was going for shabby chic–all things light and vintage looking. I was a little disappointed in the bright pink flowers on my bouquet and the weird looking birds on our wedding cake. But it didn’t ruin the day and no one else was the wiser. Linda’s story is a little different. She wanted her wedding cake to look like this:
Instead she got this:

Ain’t No Party Like a Weddingbee Party

Especially when the guests include Mrs. Snow Pea, Mrs. Butterscotch, Miss Cherry Pie and myself. We’re all getting together this Sunday, in Bellevue at The Cheesecake Factory–10am sharp! If you are in the area and can drag yourself out of bed, we’d love to see you! I’m already planning which flavor cheesecake I’m going to shove into my mouth. That’s normal right? To plan what you are going to eat at a meal that is over 3 days away? Totally normal.
The Man Wants a Robot Room
June 21st, 2008 @ 11:33 am by Mrs. Strawberry
Yeah. Uh-huh. A robot room. It IS as creepy as it sounds. But, that’s Mr. Strawberry for you. He’s a math and science person and I wouldn’t be able to tell you what 1/4 of 64 is if my life depended on it. I’m the creative person in the relationship. Ever since the wedding, I’ve been obsessed with decorating and now Mr. Strawberry is trying to get in on the action. His contribution to the design equation is a robot room. That’s the theme he wants for the office. Seriously. Let me show you a few of the prints he’d like to frame and hang:
Foodz, Glorious Foodz

I’m very proud of myself, this is my second post in months! I’ve been busy with work….that’s my excuse. Anyway, back to the post at hand. For about two months, before I got my current gig at the radio, I worked as an event planner for a catering company and event venue–Foodz Catering and Acalia Events. They did the most amazing things with food. Besides tasting incredible, their presentation was out of this world. Don’t take take my word for it–check these out.

That’s the kind of bra you need when you are well endowed young lady. Certainly, there are perks to being heavy chested. Guys kind of like ’em. You can fill out a top well. And when I’m laying on the couch, they make a great little resting spot for a beverage of my choice. Of course, there are the drawbacks as well. Those were never so apparent as when I was searching for a wedding dress. When I was getting my dress altered, Vladamir (insert heavy Russian accent) said, “Oh dear, this not church cleavage.” The style of dress I could wear was also limited–backless was a pipe dream.
But hello!? The geniuses at N.A.S.A came up with this baby. (And when I say N.A.S.A, I mean Elaine Cato who entered a reality show called American Inventor similar to American Idol, and came in second place.)
Dear Weddingbee,
January 28th, 2008 @ 8:30 am by Mrs. Strawberry
I have missed you oh so much. Words can not describe. The way you smile. The way you make me laugh. The way you light up a room. It has been too long.
Seriously! Sorry for being MIA. I’ve been wrapped up in my new job, which I am going to be a total attention whore and tell you all about it. I got my dream job, doing afternoon drive radio 2-7pm on Movin 92.5. Check it out! I have like 5 listeners, so score!!!
So, I haven’t felt like I had anything to bring to the table, until I remembered my honeymoon pics!
It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!
October 29th, 2007 @ 9:30 am by Mrs. Strawberry
Okay, not really. But holiday entertaining is already on my mind thanks to the latest issue of Blueprint magazine. I love this setup and it could totally be done for a wedding as well! I love Christmas themes that aren’t done in your typical red and green.
Details Part 3: This Is The Last Of All My Wedding Crap. I Mean “Details”.
October 17th, 2007 @ 11:45 am by Mrs. Strawberry
The programs were my biggest pain in my ass. There was the paper folding. There was the paper punch on the front cover. There was the issue of getting the yarn through the itty bitty little holes. Then there was getting all the info onto less than 10 pages. Who wants to read a 10 page wedding program!?
Toilet Paper Rolls Are Actually Quite Versatile.
October 16th, 2007 @ 11:51 am by Mrs. Strawberry
Our econfetti poppers were a huge success–the months of saving toilet paper rolls totally paid off. You think I’m kidding. Sadly, I am not. I saved hundreds of toilet paper rolls. As did my bridesmaids and my parents. And then there was the HUGE task of decorating each.
