Mr. Bee and I went to Spain for our honeymoon - 3 days in Barcelona and 4 days touring various cities throughout Southern Spain. We had 7 jam packed days of activities because I’m the ultimate sightseer. If we could do it again though, I think…

Venue: Battery Gardens
About Me: I was born in the city of Donetsk in the former Soviet Union (now the Ukraine) and grew up in Brooklyn. Many of my parent's friends are from Russia and the Ukraine as well. We want all of our guests to have a great time and hit the dance floor so we've hired a band that can play both Russian and American music; not to mention a mean rendition of the Gypsy Kings and chair-raising hora!
I have been to many full mass weddings (of all religions); it always feels like I’m attending a regular church service that happens to include a wedding. We’re not religious and wanted the ceremony to be about us! We also wanted the ceremony to be fairly quick — 20 to 30 minutes max. As it turned out the ceremony was a bit too short —…

Hey Hey Hey! I felt like saying that like Fat Albert. I know. It’s random.
Originally, we were talking about Costa Rica & Belize. I love the beach. I mean LOVE it. I can’t swim for shit but I could live on a beach forever. So once I really started getting into it I’m thinking more like we can do Costa Rica anytime! Why don’t we…

Traditionally, in a Jewish wedding, the bride and groom are supposed to see each other before the ceremony and sign the Ketubah (Jewish Marriage Contract) together. I really wanted that moment of “ahhh” when I walked down the aisle and our rabbi was flexible, so we each signed it separately. We also couldn’t find two non-related Jewish men to sign as witnesses, so a couple…

Battery Park, Downtown Manhattan.
Mr. Firefly and I were not seeing each other before the ceremony, so we we took most of our formal pictures after the ceremony. However, I did want to take a few with my parents, sister and maid of honor while things were still quiet. But boy, it was hot out there!

Part I
Although there are many things to see and do in Monterey, due to time constraints, we chose to take the 17 Mile Scenic Drive. This road is located entirely within a wealthy residential community. The contrast between the beaches of Monterey and Highway 1 can be summarized as feminine and masculine, respectively. The beaches of Monterey are white and pretty.
The famous Lone…

Checker Cab: Film Cars. The 1945 checker cab was perfect (and much roomier than today’s Ford Crown Vics ;)). Peter, the owner of Film Cars, is probably the nicest person in the world. A++

My wife and I recently took a road trip to the Central Coast of California. I’ve lived in California my entire life but the beauty of the state still never ceases to amaze me. I couldn’t stop raving about the trip so Mrs. Bee asked me to write about it as a possible domestic honeymoon destination.

All photos are by Leah McCormick and as I’ve mentioned before, Leah shot in film. The digital images I’m posting here really don’t do the real photos justice. If you haven’t guessed already, I think Leah is absolutely fantastic, but I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. A++.

Hi Ladies, Sorry to go MIA (I heard I’ve been missed by my… um… avid weddingbee readers).
No I’m not on my honeymoon (came back many moons ago), just being a busy firefly with life, work, and trying (unsuccessfully) to set up wireless internet in our new apartment. I do have lots write about - I received my professional photos on Friday, I have to…

As much as I loved our photographer I thought our ceremony photos came out a lil bit dark. I actually lightened these on Photoshop. Also I put the kissing photos last, well because, our minister forgot to tell us to kiss, we walked down the aisle and then he made us come back to do it.
