Ms. Stripes, Los Angeles Age and Occupation: 29, Costume Designer/Stylist Fiancee's Age and Occupation: 29, Chef Engagement Date: June 23, 2009 Wedding Date: September 2010 Venue: Heritage Square Museum About Me: I’m a type A creative with a messy streak, a loud mouth, and an uncanny knack for combining clashing patterns. I can usually be found with my nose in a book, my feet (or at least my toes) on the ground, my head in the clouds, and my arm around the prettiest girl you ever saw- aka Fiancee Stripes. Together we’re planning a FUN vintage/modern French carnival wedding extravaganza and rockin’ dance party on a dime. (Say that three times fast!) Good coffee, long lists, Uniball pens, and my iPhone keep me sane, and making art, making trouble, and making out keep me happy! I love urban adventures, bike rides that end with afternoon drinks, breakfast for dinner, beautiful light, photography, travel, my furry family, and of course, my beautiful fiancee! I’m super excited to be here and can’t wait to share all our adventures as we craft a joyful, budget-friendly, design-savvy and all-around AWESOME wedding!

Crisis averted. Fear subsides. The hive is awesome.

So, let’s get this party started, shall we?

A big hello from Los Angeles! Miss Stripes here. I’m trying to keep it together but…

Yowza! I can’t believe I’m writing my very first Weddingbee post and I couldn’t be more completely, totally, ridiculously thrilled!

All of your fantastic blogs and insightful comments have been such an inspiration to me and I feel privileged to be the newest addition to the hive! I can only hope that you’ll enjoy following along (or keeping up) as we plan our quirky, FUN (all caps intended), totally us and totally awesome vintage/modern two-bride wedding!

Like many bees before me I exhibited strange and potentially crazy (to the outside world) behavior upon receiving my acceptance email. That’s to say I screamed, shrieked, and did a little happy dance in my car which undoubtedly alarmed a few of my fellow drivers on the 110! And hush- I know it’s both illegal and dangerous to check my email on the freeway, but I’d just sent off my application THE DAY BEFORE and when my phone beeped I couldn’t help myself…
