I know I said that I’d get back to everyone regarding blogger applications two days ago, but I have been swamped and sick (for over 3 weeks now). I’ve had a sharp pain in my chest the past couple of days, so I seriously convinced myself that I had lung cancer, then breast cancer. I went to see my doctor today, who sent me to another doctor for more tests and xrays, but I think it’s most likely bronchitis. Phew.

Anyway I sincerely apologize! We’ve received a ton of applications, but I promise to get back to everyone before next Monday. Thanks so much for your patience and understanding!

In today’s hive:

• Chris wants to know why or why not you’re changing your name after getting married. She’s torn whether or not to do it!
• Ald is wondering if you have any thoughts on doing (or not doing) bridal party introductions as they enter the reception.
• jp wants to know if the bridesmaids plan the bachelorette party, whether the bride plans it and the bridesmaids help, and who pays for everything.

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone knows of any or can give me an idea of how/where to find a tri-lingual MC around the NYC area? My fiance’s family speaks Cantonese, mine speak Mandarin, and there will be plenty of people at the wedding who speak neither. This I think by far will be the most challenging part of my wedding planning and I would love some help! Thanks! Love the site!

I have just about 8 and a half months until my wedding and we cannot find a church to save our lives! We don’t want an outdoor wedding, but we’re trying to think of places we can get married besides a church. We’re from the Quad Cities area in Illinois/Iowa (if necessary). Thanks!

Mrs. Bee says: As Mr. Bee and I settle into married life, we are slowly starting to become friends with each other’s friends. We each have our own set of close friends, so this is a new experience for us. Beforehand, it was just his friends and my friends - we had all met each other, but we weren’t really that close.

Do you have any shared friends with your S.O.?

I’ve been swamped so I was planning on catching up on a bunch of work this past weekend. But I ended up taking most of yesterday off and went to go watch The Departed with Mr. Bee instead, then passed out early. I thought most people would have today off so I could play catch up, but I guess most of you are working hard!

We’ve received many many blogger applications and I’m gonna try to go through all of them tonight. Thanks so much for your patience!

Meanwhile, if you’re lucky enough, enjoy your day off!

In today’s beehive:

• Maria is planning her Las Vegas wedding in 48 days and needs all her vendors! Please help with vendor recommendations.
• J wants to know for those of you who had civil ceremonies before your wedding, did you get “married” again? How should she explain this to her pastor?
• Piggy wants to know if you wear your engagement ring everywhere. It’s uncomfortable for her to wear it while working out.
• Joy wants to know what you wore to your engagement shoot and how you decided. She thinks black might be too harsh so she’s leaning towards gray, and also prefers dresses to pants.
• Jen wants to know if it’s appropriate to put, “we have reserved __ number of seats in your honor” on an RSVP card?
• Tea is looking for a place to buy barrettes/brooches for thick hair.
• K is looking for a basic black wedding album.
