Get a Room!

I’m back! And I brought eye candy!
[by Texas photographers Teresa & Tedd]
Some girls dream of weddings. Some girls dream of becoming a chess champion. No, not me. I dream of getting down and dirty with my husband on a busy (not to mention - dirty!) NYC street. As late night New Yorkers would walk by, they would shyly giggle and laugh. Then there was the occasional interruption because we had to let a tenant into the doorway that we were blocking.
Bushkill Falls
June 23rd, 2008 @ 8:14 am by Mrs. Snow Pea
For the adventurous couple, who prefer camping and hiking over laying on the beach and sipping pina coladas. Bushkill Falls, located near the Poconos is called The Niagara of Pennsylvania. We joked that it certainly wasn’t the scale of Niagara Falls, but we enjoyed it all the same. It reminded us how Niagara Falls used to be the HOT honeymooning spot once.
Winery Wedding in Pennsylvania
June 22nd, 2008 @ 11:25 am by Mrs. Snow Pea
During our hunt for a unique wedding venue, I was incredibly envious of the west coast brides such as Mrs. Penguin with numerous choices for a gorgeous winery wedding. We looked into wineries in New Jersey, but for one reason or another it never worked out. They just didn’t have the appeal as California wineries. Mr. Snow Pea and I took a day trip to Bucks County, PA and were delighted to find wineries that were not only gorgeous, but easy to get to and had flexible event packages.

“Oh My Gosh!”
June 7th, 2008 @ 7:28 pm by Mrs. Snow Pea
Mr. Snow Pea and I volunteered as “models” for Scott Robert’s workshop on Friday. I wanted to wait until I posted about the whole event, but I just had to drop this off. When I saw some of the photos, I gasped in disbelief. Is that really me? Holy smokes, it looks AMAZING!

Cupcake Stencils
March 1st, 2008 @ 12:23 pm by Mrs. Snow Pea
I love these stencils from Crate and Barrel. Look, all 4 are our girls from weddingbee! I also love how these stencils have a little handle that you can hold it by - an easy way to decorate cupcakes and brownies for any event!

Tea and Biscuits

Instead of cards, I baked sugar cookies for my Valentine readers who participated in the card swap. I also included a Citrus Mint tea bag from Tea Forte, which I hope they will enjoy.
Cake Decorating At AC Moore
February 8th, 2008 @ 5:46 pm by Mrs. Snow Pea
In this week’s AC Moore flyer, there’s a coupon for 50% off their cake decorating class. Check out your local paper to see if they are offering one at a store near you. I am going there to sign up tonight.
I have always coveted the works of art seen on the Food Network competitions. Something about ruffled fondant flowers and lattice just excites me! A friend of mine took the class and now does some amazing cake designs that can be seen here on Cake Central. This is a great place for tips and inspiration especially if you have an ambitious friend who wants to make your wedding cake. This would be the ultimate DIY!
Have you or a friend taken a cake decorating class? What was your experience?
My First Lunar New Year As A “Low-paw”
February 7th, 2008 @ 1:39 pm by Mrs. Snow Pea
Mr. Snow Pea sent me this message today:
“Low-paw,
Sun nien fai lok.
Lnau oi lay!”
Translation:
“Wife,
Happy new year.
I love you!”
As the only married classmate, I readied myself for school today loaded with red envelopes and crisp dollar bills. I really look forward to passing out ly-see this year! Based on Chinese custom, as a married woman, I have finally entered the realm of adulthood and can pass out money to those who are unmarried. The envelopes usually look something like this and you can buy them in any store in Chinatown and even online at ChinaBridal.
The Makings Of Our Happily Ever After…
February 4th, 2008 @ 5:19 pm by Mrs. Snow Pea
After 2 years of blogging, 5 months of editing, 582 pictures uploaded, and 188 pages later, it’s finally here! I give you my pride and joy - my wedding planning journal.
Another Wedding? Ugh.
January 30th, 2008 @ 3:06 pm by Mrs. Snow Pea
I have a confession…I am a horrible wedding guest! You would be amazed considering the detail and effort I put into my own wedding. I am about the most bubbly person when it comes to being excited for someone else’s engagement, baby or wedding. But when it comes to attending the actual wedding event, I am just like every other guest that every bride including myself has complained about.
I mail in the RVSP late. I don’t buy a gift until the last minute when there’s nothing but hand towels and a pizza cutter left. I don’t remember the date and continue to ask the bride-to-be when the wedding is because I have her STD shoved in my kitchen junk drawer. Mr. Snow Pea and I are like a scene from Four Weddings and a Funeral where we wake up late, hurry to get ready, throw any old dress on, buy a wedding card from CVS and cuss the whole time!
I love weddings! I dreamed of my own since I was a little girl, but why is the thought of attending other weddings and showers so daunting? Do you feel this way? Are you a wedding lover but a “bad” wedding guest like me?
