I’m excited to share with the hive the FIFTH annual Bee Ornament Exchange! For those new to the hive, each year the blogger bees get together and participate in a secret Santa ornament exchange. Each bee has the challenge of coming up with a handmade or store-bought ornament for $15 or less, and the ornaments resemble or represent the bee’s moniker that they’ve drawn. Check out some of the adorable ornaments the bees came up with this year. This is only part one of four, so get excited for more holiday goodness!

Well hey there, hive! How’s it going? You might see me around here behind the scenes occasionally, but I haven’t written a “real” Weddingbee post in quite a while. But believe me, I am always around, reading the blog and the boards, and checking out your amazing photos in the gallery, DIY, and bio sections. Oh, and I’m heading up our Facebook page, so you can pretty much always find me there too. Does that make me sound like a creepy stalker?
Anyway, I thought today was as good a day as any to write a new blog post, seeing as how it’s mine and the Dude’s three-year wedding anniversary!
I seriously cannot believe we’ve been married for three years. It’s been pretty blissful so far, but I have a feeling all of that is about to change, as we get ready to welcome a new addition to our family, and I am NOT talking about a cat this time!

Heya, hive! We’ve got an exciting new series for you guys that we’re launching today called Pop Quiz! In it, blogger bees will ask a series of questions based around a single topic related to wedding planning, relationships, or engagement. Are you ready for this?! It’s pop quiz time!
I’m gonna get us warmed up with a “wedding basics” quiz. Answer the following questions to see where you stand compared to other bees currently planning their weddings!

I’m so excited about this whole randomizer thing. Thanks, Mrs. Avocado, for such a fun prompt! Any excuse to revisit my wedding day through photos by The Nichols.
I used a random number generator to pick ten wedding photos, and these are the ones I got.
This first photo was taken sometime during our toasts. I remember feeling uncomfortable this whole time because 1.) We were up on a stage in front of all of our guests, which I had no idea was how we were going to do it, and 2.) I had to pee the whole time. I actually didn’t talk at all; public speaking complete petrifies me, and I did not want to feel that way on my wedding day, dammit!
I feel like this next one is quintessentially “our wedding.” It rained the whole damn day, and I just loved the way the impromptu umbrella shots turned out. They weren’t even posed; we were just kind of walking around after the ceremony, if I’m remembering correctly. See how the Dude has his arm around my waist and is kind of guiding me so I don’t slip? Normally, that type of behavior would NOT be tolerated on my part, haha. (I can do it myseeeelf!) But, what can I say—maybe I was feeling slightly more romantic than usual?

This past Saturday, the Austin and San Antonio bees got together for the first time, meeting halfway in historic Gruene, Texas.
Mrs. Beagle, Miss Petit Four, Mrs. Sand Dollar, Mrs. Waffle, haelmai, Mrs. Mouse
We had lunch at the super-cute Gruene River Grill and talked about everything from wedding planning to work to GLEE!
It was great seeing/meeting all of you ladies! Can’t wait for the next meetup.
It was also great to meet one of Mrs. Sand Dollar’s friends/bridesmaids, who was kind enough to take these photos. Hopefully we’ll see more of you around Weddingbee now!

I’m pretty excited to share this wedding with you guys. I was in the interesting position of attending a wedding with my friend—you may remember her from my wedding recaps as MOH Deniz—who was visiting from New York to go to this wedding. I tagged along as her plus-one, even though I didn’t really know anyone there. It was the perfect wedding to crash, as the vibe was so relaxed and welcoming that I didn’t feel too out of place. And I got the chance to really observe instead of really participating—good for journalistic reasons, I suppose!
I love the fact that the bride and groom did both their save the dates and invites by video.

Hello bees! Because it’s Friday and autumn is in the air (well, at least here in blazing-hot Texas it’s finally in the eighties/nineties), I found myself playing around on Pinterest. And why not share with you some of my favorite wedding-related pins of the day?
