About Miss Eagle

Hello, hive!

I am so incredibly happy and surprised to be introducing myself to you all! When I got my acceptance email from Pengy, I was at work/school (work is school and school is work…more on that later!), and I seriously could not believe it. I instantly called my fiancée to share the good news, and she was just as excited as I am! I have wanted to be a blogging bee since before we got engaged, and it still doesn’t seem real! I am so truly honoured to be given the chance to share our unique wedding story with you all.

I love trashy reality television (Jersey Shore, anyone?), online shopping, Sunday brunch, Central Park, and random celebrity spottings on the streets of Manhattan. While I love NYC, I miss good Tex-Mex, my college friends, central A/C, and being in close proximity to a Target. I’m thrilled to finally be planning an event that’s not work-related and to be marrying my best friend in what I hope will be a unique and personal ceremony followed by a reception with plenty of good food, good drinks, and dancing (regardless if it’s good or not).

Dallas-Fort Worth Area Meet-Up!

Well hello there, hive! I’m popping back in to let all my Dallas and Fort Worth area peeps know that we will be having a local meet-up right after the holidays!

Whether you are newly engaged, in the middle of your wedding planning, or have already gotten married and are still on the Weddingbee bandwagon (like me!), come join us to chat and relax over a glass of wine. It will be right after the holidays so you’ll probably need a glass of wine, and it’s before any New Year’s resolutions will have kicked in!

It's funny to say out loud, but we're former coworkers turned betrothed---now planning a wedding in the city of Brotherly Love. For three years, we've been eating our way through Philadelphia, playing tourist at home, and cheering for every sports team in the 215. Although we've hit some unplanned snags along the way, we're determined to have a rocking party this spring with our loud, fun families and friends.

How Do You Do?

November 30th, 2011 @ 9:52 am by Miss Turkey

*waves hello*

Hi there! I can’t believe that I’m writing this post…it feels so surreal, and I am just so SO honored. In the course of a couple of hours, I went from emailing Mrs. Penguin about whether my auto response (you know, for rejection) had gone to my email doppleganger* to receiving an invitation to join the hive. WOW.

So, who are the Turkeys?

How Do You Do? :  wedding announcements philadelphia Pb25314 PB25314

Celebrating Thanksgiving in Disney this past weekend—that’s as recent as you’re gonna get.

You’ll learn a lot about us over these next five-plus months, so I’ll keep it short. We’re (now resident) Philadelphians planning a black tie (optional) party in the City of Brotherly Love. We’re going fancy-pants because we clean up pretty nice!

Gobble gobble! We hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Mr. Penguin and I spent the latter half of the week in Scottsdale, AZ where we hiked (climbed? Hike/climbed?) Camelback for the first time. What a thrill! With Thanksgiving just passed, it’s so exciting to welcome Miss Turkey to the hive…give her a warm hello!

I still love my Patriots and Red Sox, but have fallen in love with Virginia. I work in education and specialize in integrating technology into my work to improve the student experience. I’m a diehard blogger, animal lover, jamband follower, and DIYer. I paint to relax and have transferred by energy from home projects to wedding projects in recent months. When Mr. Mink and I started talking about marriage, we knew our wedding would be outdoors, that my golden retriever would be part of the day, and that the music would be fantastic. We’ve taken a few risks during our planning process and we’ve been enjoying the process immensely!

I Am Miss Mink

Hello to all of you beautiful bees! I’m thrilled to be writing this post. My name is Miss Mink and I’m so excited to have you along for my wedding-planning adventure.

I Am Miss Mink :  wedding announcements charlottesville Dsc0415 DSC0415

I live in Charlottesville, a fabulous college town in Virgina. A native of New Jersey who went to school in Providence and Boston, I’ve moved around a bit, but always lived in the Northeast prior to the move here. While I’ll always be a Jersey girl and I’ll always love my Red Sox and Patriots, I have found my home in Virginia. I work in academia and could be considered an early adopter of social media, so I’m very comfortable with joining this fabulous group of bloggers.

I’m the queen of half-assed crafts, and there’s nothing I won’t try to DIY. You can usually find me reading blogs on my laptop in front of a good Lifetime movie, wine in hand. I’m planning a polka-dotted summertime wedding to my physics geek college sweetheart, and when I’m not making stupid puns I’m freaking out about my wedding timeline.
About Miss Unicycle

Hello there! I feel like I should be juggling or something. It is so great to be here (oh, who am I kidding—bee here) as a blogger! I’ve been reading Weddingbee since early 2009 when I was a wee child (”When I grow up, I want to be a Weddingbee blogger!”), and now I’m finally here, sharing these pathetic secrets about myself. I must be the worst lurker in the site’s history, too, because I’ve only made a handful of comments in that time. I chose the Unicycle icon because it’s ridiculous, and so am I. Seriously, nothing is funnier than a bear riding a unicycle, unless said bear rolls over a banana peel in transit and falls down. Are you laughing yet? I can’t stop thinking of what Mr. Unicycle would look like attempting to balance on one wheel.

I couldn’t find a pic of him balancing precariously on anything, but here’s one of both of us anyway.

When Mr. U and I were deciding what character to be, I told him, “We have to be the Unicycles! It’s perfect!” and he said, “Is it at least an animal riding a unicycle?” I had to check and get back to him on that, and it was. It was clearly fate.

About Mrs. Penguin

One of the questions that are asked of me most frequently is, “How do you choose new bee bloggers?” Well, we like to think that they choose us. :) All applicants apply to become bees—we don’t recruit bloggers beyond occasional posts showing off our new and current generations of icons and a link to where and how you can apply. In an attempt to demystify the process, here’s how Weddingbee goes about reviewing all our blogger applications!

ALL applications and corresponding applicants’ blogs are read carefully by a 12 person committee made up of current and past bee bloggers. The committee is anonymous to the public, to keep the process fair.

  1. Potential bee bloggers submit their applications and they land in our inbox. Once we receive 5-10 applications (typically within a 2-4 week period), we gather all outstanding applications and send each one to all committee members to review. We also pass along an editable spreadsheet. This spreadsheet contains a column with committee members’ names in it where they can mark each blog with yes/no.

The South has definitely earned a special place in my heart (alongside my Virginia born and bred fiance, of course!). We are planning a traditional Christian ceremony at my alma mater in historic Williamsburg, Virginia, followed by a rocking reception filled with Southern cooking and vintage/shabby chic details. When we’re not wedding planning, we enjoy spending time with our three dogs, going for runs together, watching plenty of football (or baseball depending on the season), and sampling new wine.

Swooping In: Miss Hawk!

November 9th, 2011 @ 10:03 am by Miss Hawk

HI Y’ALL!

I am so completely overcome with excitement, shock, and maybe even a dash of disbelief mixed in to be writing my first official post as a bee! I feel incredibly blessed and honored to be able to share my wedding journey with y’all. Being one of the first couples in our group of friends to tie the knot, being cross-country from my family, and attending only one wedding in my adult life, I was so L.O.S.T. when it came to wedding planning. But when I found Weddingbee, I truly felt like I found a group of supportive, wedding-crazed friends to help me along my way. I hope that I can provide the same support and inspiration that y’all have provided me!

So on to a little bit about the Hawks:

Anyway, on to introductions!

Why Miss Elk? Well he is just so darn adorable, and he kind of looks like my pooch (if my pooch had antlers, that is!).
