Coming Out of Hibernation

January 13th, 2009 @ 11:01 am by Mrs. Peony

Hi, my name is Mrs. Peony and I once blogged for a site called Weddingbee…

I hide my face in shame. I am not worthy!

Sorry for my disappearance from the hive. 2008 was a crazy year! I married my best friend and partner in crime. I became involved in a great variety of personal, professional, and spiritual activities. We became homeowners. We watched our home value…

Getting Married in NY State vs NYC

July 21st, 2008 @ 1:03 pm by Mrs. Peony

I have a confession to make. It’s a bit embarrassing, really…

Mr Peony and I were married in mid-April and we still haven’t received our marriage certificate.

To be honest, the marriage certificate completely slipped our minds. But when friends started asking if I will be changing my name (the answer is yes), I realized we never got the certificate in the mail.

I joked to Mr Peony,…

Vendor Review: The Fountainhead

July 10th, 2008 @ 6:26 pm by Mrs. Peony

I’m sorry to have disappeared after promising a round of vendor reviews. I have been having some health issues that really scared the bejeezus out of me, and so have been keeping on the down low and taking things easy.

However, I do want to continue to share my vendor experiences. We were really lucky that the majority of our vendors were very cooperative and did a…

About Mrs. Peony

I think it’s about time I come out of the woodwork and post some vendor reviews, don’t you think?

Hiring Christine Viola of Exquisite Affairs Productions was one of the best decisions I made. Being such an anally retentive control freak, it usually takes a force of nature for me to trust someone enough to completely hand over the reigns…Christine was that force, and much…

Bridesmaids’ Gifts

We’re back from our honeymoon! Greece is a beautiful, wonderful destination and I would recommend it as an ideal honeymoon location in a heartbeat. I’m still organizing the hundreds of photos not to bore you all, so I’ve decided to write about my bridesmaids’ gifts.

With so little time and money before the wedding, the gifts were not DYI or too extravagant. I wanted some simple yet…

I just returned from City Hall where Mr. Peony and I had met during our respective lunch breaks to obtain our marriage license.

The process was relatively painless. $35 money order? Check. IDs? Check. We had both brought our passports, he his birth certificate, and I my naturalization certificate, but there was no need for those - our driver’s licenses were just fine.

I am very thankful to have been blessed with fairly good skin. Aside from the year or so at the start of puberty when my forehead didn’t know how to deal with the influx of hormones and newfound oil glands, I rarely have break-outs.

However, with the big day approaching and my stress level rising inversely in proportion to the number of days left as a…

When I first got engaged the invitations were the part of the wedding planning process that excited me the most. Not my dress, not my venue, not my flowers. THE INVITATIONS.
