Oh yes, I am a total shoe whore - so it’s only appropriate that I ended up being a two-shoe bride. Therefore, while we continued to be primped and the boys headed down to the limo, our photographer, Travis Hoehne, took the opportunity to take my two pairs of shoes and dress out for a spin. He displayed them in a variety of fun places…

While the girls and I were getting pretty, Mr. Pom was getting dressed. Sure, our room was filled with the chaos of 10+ bodies huddled in to a hotel room, but Mr. Pom chose quiet and serenity over the craziness. This is one of the reasons I love him - he truly is the yin to my yang at times; while I relish in the…

Six (plus) months fly by so fast! I can’t believe it’s been so long - and that I’ve been so negligent with my bee responsibilities. My wedding recap fell by the wayside while we scrambled through what seemed like pure chaos:

• I dyed my hair dark brown (post wedding dye, instead of chop) - and I promise a photo will come soon!
• Mr. Pomegranate started a new…

MOH and Flirty Bridesmaid left with two extra-special packages to give to Mr. Pomegranate as a wedding day gift. The first of which was a super-secret surprise I had kept hush-hush for many months: a special boudoir shoot. The fabulous Sarah Maren and I holed-up in a chic little room at my favorite midtown bed and breakfast, The Inn at Parkside. Each room has a…

I panicked a little, as our room had gotten pretty messy from our post-rehearsal partying. Thankfully, Crafty Bridesmaid and the other girls helped me sweep through the room and get it all ready for the chaos that was about to begin.

The night before the wedding was certainly a fun one. I hope I never forget it—my girls and I had such a fun time hanging out together and bonding. We had headed back to Cache Creek Casino and Resort while Mr. Pomegranate drove back to Sacramento to take care of a few things and wait around for Groomsman Peter to arrive at the airport. Some of…

We finished up at the spa, hopped into our respective cars and drove up to the hotel. We quickly checked-in, freshened up and changed. I put on my Ralph Lauren black and white striped dress - but my boobies were NOT going to fill it out. I had to improvise by taking my black wrap and tying it in front to not only cover up…

Hello again! I’m so sorry to have been away for so long! Married life has swept me off of my feet and I landed running. Then came the holidays and then came the common cold. I’m starting to recover—and I’m utilizing this time to catch up on my tasks at hand—namely, our wedding recap!

To be honest, it hasn’t slowed down since the week before the…

With so many recently married Bees in the Northern California area, we were dying to get together before the holiday season. Mrs. Penguin, Mrs. Green Tea, Mrs. Lemon and I met up to do a little Pre-Thanksgiving stomach stretching with some fondue at Melting Pot (shout out to Miss Fondue!). Tuesday night we gathered empty-bellied, ready to stuff ourselves silly.

We woke up bright and early the next morning and headed out to wander around the town. We just wanted to walk around town and explore. We ended up sitting…

Oopsie! I got a little distracted, as my pro photos have arrived! The wedding recap will begin shortly. Where were we? Oh yes!

After my semi-helpful deep-tissue massage and Mr. Pom’s man facial, we wandered around the Pearl District, checking out real estate, wandering into little…

Hello! I have been busy catching up at home (nesting) and at work after the wedding craziness, but I wanted to stop by and say HAPPY HALLOWEEN to the hive! Mr. Pomegranate and I carved pumpkins last night (using some patterns we downloaded here), so we’re pretty much ready to spook the kidlets in the neighborhood and pass out candy.

After that fabulous dinner at Ten 01, we headed back to the hotel and relaxed a bit before leaving for the concert. Of course, this was what our whole Minimoon was planned around, as we are huge Sigur Ros fans. Our awesome DJ, Brandon, had sent us the tour dates long ago during the wedding planning process, so Mr. Pomegranate had managed to snag us…

Our flight to Portland didn’t leave until 6:45 PM on Sunday, so we had plenty of time to relax at home for a few hours and pack (no, we hadn’t packed yet). We caught up on Project Runway, did a few loads of laundry and filled our suitcases to the brim. Of course, as soon as our booties hit the plane seats, I began to…

I’ve been a bit absent since the wedding for two main reasons:
