Wedding Blog

Part 1

So we met in November 2003. Mr. Bee flew to southern California to visit me the first week of December, and we drove down to La Jolla/San Diego for 4 days. In retrospect it seems a little crazy that we went away for the weekend the second time we ever saw each other. But we’d been talking on the phone every day, including a…

I originally posted this story on my personal wedding blog over 3 years ago.  It was transferred into the Weddingbee archives so some of you may have read it, but since the vast majority of you haven’t, I thought I’d repost the series this week!

I joined xanga, a blogging community, in April of 2003, and little did I know that it was soon to become…

Mr. Bee and I just got back from a delicious early dinner at Commerce, an up and coming West Village restaurant that we’ve always wanted to try.  We even ran into Malcolm Gladwell on our walk home (he lives in the neighborhood)!

Commerce is on the first floor of the white building.  This quaint area is called “the backlot” because so many movies and tv shows…

I attended a special weddings taping of the Martha Stewart Show yesterday.  Check it out on PRO!

Due to a technical issue, some of you are having trouble accessing the Boards, Classifieds, and Wiki.  We’re working on fixing that right now, and hope to have it fixed asap.  We apologize for any inconvenience!

This awesome Coca Cola Superbowl ad features so many of our original bugs!  It was too cute not to share.  Be on the lookout for ladybug, grasshopper, bee, butterfly, dragonfly, caterpillar, and beetle!

I’ve heard that statistic many times.  Women either wear bras that are too big, too small, or too worn out.  I’ve never had my bra size measured and I’d been wanting to go to one of the specialty bra shops in New York, because I knew I was wearing the wrong size.

Many brides go to Bra Tenders (like Mrs. Canary) because they specialize in theater and bridal undergarments,…

I don’t really buy makeup products often, but I’m a total hair product junkie. I love to color, perm, cut, and  straighten my hair, so I try to take decent care of it.

Here’s a glimpse of what’s in my shower right now: Kerastase Nutritive Nutridefense conditioner, Neutrogena Triple Moisture Hair Mask, VO5 hot oil treatment, Freeman’s Peppermint and Plum foot scrub, pumice stone, My Melody…

Weddingbee Classifieds has been taking off lately. We were especially amazed to see the Weddingbee Classifieds featured this weekend in the New York Times!

So we thought we’d review all the feedback we’ve gotten so far, and make the changes you’ve been asking for.

ABILITY TO CLOSE LISTINGS

Gracers asked, “Mrs. Bee, How do I close a posting? I ended up just adding a comment to my post…

I received the loveliest email today from Laura, who won a stunning Lukab & Motwani clutch in a giveaway we hosted last summer.  I love seeing how brides end up using the items they win in our giveaways on their wedding day!

Hi Mrs. Bee!

Just before my wedding last August I won a beautiful Lukab & Motwani clutch from Weddingbee, and I’m finally getting around to…

Avatars have been one of our most popular features ever!  It’s only been four days since we launched the feature, and already hundreds of you have uploaded avatars. I love seeing what you guys look like (or at least, what your avatars look like).  It’s definitely been one of my favorite features ever.

One thing I’ve noticed is that some of the uploaded avatars look a…

Update: I just found an invitation link on my account so I don’t have to send out individual emails.  Just go to http://www.gilt.com/invite/beekim and you can set up your account right now.

Happy Shopping — You’ll see me on the site at noon checking Vera and Botkier!

Many-a-bee has blogged about Gilt Group before me.  I’m sure you’ve already heard of it, but in case you haven’t, it’s…
