Double Happiness (And Then Some!)
August 29th, 2007 @ 9:29 am by Mrs. Tulip
Wednesday, August 8th began as more or less a regular Wednesday. DC broke a temperature record, hitting 102 degrees. My new roommate and I went grocery shopping, and Breyer’s ice cream was buy-one-get-one-free. And Mr. T came over for dinner, as he does most Wednesdays….

Mr. T. and I have yet to set our exact wedding date or to find the location, but we’ve already tackled lots of the smaller details…. (As he puts it, we skipped Steps 1 and 2, and went right to Steps 27, 43, 48, and 72!) And being a girl, and one who loves new clothes, of course one of the first things I took care of was buying my wedding dress.
(Nope, not mine! Read on….)

These wedding crashers! (At a wedding to which we were invited, thank you very much….)
Hellllloooooooo, Weddingbee World!

My name is Tara, otherwise known as Miss Tulip, and I am so excited to be the latest Bee to join the Hive! You might think of me as the Bargain Bee. I’ve been a bargain queen since childhood — always making a game of finding the nicest things possible for the smallest amount of cash. There’s nothing as exciting to me as the thrill of the hunt … following the elusive trail of a fabulous item at an unheard-of price. (Anyone can find something expensive and beautiful. But to find something cheap and beautiful – that, my dears, takes skill!) Now planning a wedding has kicked everything up a couple of notches. But instead of hanging my trophies on some wall once I track them down … I plan to “hang” them here and share them with you!
Mr. Tulip and I have dated since I first moved to Washington, DC in 2004. We are freakishly similar, to the point that we have been known to blurt out exactly the same words at exactly the same times. Yes, we’re one of those couples…. We’re both something of the homebody, and a typical evening together will find us watching Netflix, side by side on the couch with our laptops open. We’re both big blog followers, except that he reads news, politics, and things with actual content, while I like to look at pretty pictures on craft, design, and wedding blogs. Mr. T. (hee hee) works from home, which means lots of flexibility to see one another. And also lots of time with our adorable Sheltie puppy and 4 cats!

About Me: In all my dreams of the man I'd someday marry, I never pictured anyone as perfect for me as Mr. Tulip. So now we just have to make it through the craziness of the wedding and the moving in together! I love crafts, sewing, jewelry making, and photography, so am looking forward to this chance for DIY fun. When not wedding planning, I'm playing with our dog and 4 cats, Ebay shopping, or watching too much TV (often simultaneously!).
