A Bee’s Life: Snappy Style

August 25th, 2009 @ 12:53 pm by Miss Snapdragon

Hi, Bees! When Pengalicious brought up the idea of a series talking about blogging a la Weddingbee, I was so excited. As several other bees have written… Weddingbee can be a life changer.

Let me start at the beginning.

Way back in October 2008, I had just started to plan my wedding and felt a bit overwhelmed. My family lives in Texas; I live in Chicago… Out…

A Travel Journal of Your Very Own

August 24th, 2009 @ 5:15 pm by Miss Snapdragon

I am a HUGE proponent of travel journals. I have been on a few significant trips in my life: Europe with my Dad and Tweets, Hawaii with an old boytoy, and most recently: my Sistamoon. On each, I kept a travel journal. At the end of every day, I took ten minutes to write down everything that happened that day. Vacations go by SO fast…

Cruisin’ the Waves

August 21st, 2009 @ 10:30 am by Miss Snapdragon

Earlier this summer, because I called off my wedding, my honeymoon became my “Sistamoon”. My sister Snappy-L and I vacationed for two weeks on a Mediterranean cruise, and I can honestly say it was the best trip of my life. We had a great time of relaxing, sightseeing, learning, bonding, and eating… a whole lot! It was just the medicine I needed. I know some…

About Miss Snapdragon

Recently, as of about six months ago, I met my new technological love. This beauty is attractive, fashion-forward, fits in my party clutch, and is always there when I need her. Friends, meet your new best bud: The Flipcam.

I can’t tell you how handy this lil’ number has been... I’ve broken her out for parties, nights out, everyday life - and perhaps MOST handily, at weddings and while on vacation. I absolutely love my Flipcam! My favorite part about her is that she fits in my purse.

Hi, Hive - I’ve missed you ladies! (And gents! - Gents? Do boys read this blog?)

Long time no blog - mainly because I was busy crying in my oatmeal. (Kidding - mostly!)

Invitations that Snap!

Within my rather “exciting” previous post, I promised you lovelies a look at the Snapdragon wedding invitations!

I have never in my life felt so much love and support from every person in every single area of my life. Many, many…

Dodging the Biggest Bullet of My Life

February 20th, 2009 @ 3:41 pm by Miss Snapdragon

Hi, Hive, it’s been a bad week. This is a pretty difficult post for me to write. I am hoping it will help me find some closure, as well as letting you know why I won’t be able to write here much longer on Weddingbee.

I busted Mr. Dragon for a full on affair. Not kissing, not emotional… it was a full-on affair with all of…

I have long touted my obsession with spicing up Weight Watchers and making my wedding weight loss plan a way of life! Mr. Dragon and I have been eating more consciously for a couple of years, and now we are eating with a mind to be Hottie McHottersons for our wedding. For as long as I have been a blogger on Weddingbee, I have preached…

Those Pesky Final Ten

February 12th, 2009 @ 12:54 pm by Miss Snapdragon

Ever since Mr. Dragon and I began planning our wedding, I have been using our wedding as an excuse, er, kick-in-the-pants to lose weight and get in shape. I have been doing this the healthy way, using Weight Watchers and exercising about four times a week. Generally, this method has been working pretty well for me. I like Weight Watchers because it is simple, easy…

For some couples, choosing a first dance song is easy. They’ve always had “their song” and so their search for the appropriate song lasts about five minutes. For Mr. Dragon and I, this particular search was not so easy. Our favorite songs were either totally wedding-inappropriate OR they were TOO emotionally meaningful to us. I do not want to be crying all over the dance…

Ringless No More!

February 5th, 2009 @ 8:28 am by Miss Snapdragon

Well, hive, it’s happened. Last summer, Mr. Snaps and I decided to get married AND we decided I would wear a diamond engagement ring. We could purchase a ring; we could pay for a wedding. But… we’d have to do it all at the same time. We have been dating for over four years - we are both 30, and we just didn’t want to…

This weekend Mr. Dragon and I boarded the wedding gift registry train! As I have said before, we have a multitude of married friends who were more than willing to advise us on the process, and of course, I will pass those learnings on to YOU, my dear Bees! Some of the tips are super basic and common knowledge, but… we might as well cover…

Oh, to Get Married Every Year!

January 29th, 2009 @ 3:17 pm by Miss Snapdragon

Weddings tend to be creativity on Speed… theoretically. We all want our weddings to be personal, fun, and aesthetically pleasing. Although I am so excited about our Van Gogh theme, of course with all the wedding research, I inevitably run into other themes I wish I could incorporate, as well! Right now, the idea of a Frank Lloyd Wright wedding tickles my fancy. I wish…
