What a fun idea Miss Lemon started! Here are ours:
Similarities:
1. We are both soooo stubborn but refuse to admit it! I find myself watching us from outside my body sometimes saying, “why are you even pushing this issue? You know you are wrong here - just back down already!” but I rarely do. I believe that he has these same out-of-body experiences…
2. We both love…

About Me: Likes: blogging, wikis, semi-colons, cuddling, fragrant flowers, syntax, and spooning. Dislikes: typos, dangling modifiers, flypaper, citronella candles, and run-ons. If I had my druthers, I'd exchange simple vows in a candlelit library. But I lost my druthers long ago...anyone seen them?
Greetings! What a fantastic welcome! Mrs. Bee asked me to introduce myself to the class, so with nervously twitching antennae, I’ll do my best…
I was hatched and spent most of my larva years in Michigan, but came to Tucson for college. I studied English and French and grew up to be the girl who insists on spelling out every word of her text messages. Blogging…

1. I’ve never had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I love telling this to people and watching them try to make me eat one. Not. Gonna. Happen.
2. The only way I can swim underwater in the ocean is if I hum to myself while I’m doing it. Otherwise, I freak out about things like piranha and killer whales. And this thing:

1 :: I’m an only child and only grandchild.
2 :: I hate milk. Yuck. The smell even makes me gag.
3 :: Twice recently, I’ve referred to myself as being 25. Yeh, that means I’ve lost 1 1/2 years of my life. Where did it go? Oh, I remember… I was planning a wedding and buying/building our first house. Sheesh.
4 :: I’m always in heels. Outside…

Venue: Wynbrick Center - a historic mansion in my hometown.
About Me: We're having an intimate, 125-ish person wedding with a full-blown dessert reception. When I'm not obsessing over wedding stuff or studying for my BA in English, I'm usually playing with our two kitty cats, blogging, doing crafty things, or hanging out with Mr. Blueberry!
1. I was in gifted ed. in school, from 1st grade until they stopped the program in 8th grade. One year I did an independent study project on Laura Ingalls Wilder, for which my mom *made* me a pioneer dress, as well as one for my American Girl knock-off doll.
2. I eat my pizza without cheese. I <3 cheese, don’t get me wrong, just…

I love to eat, cook, watch Dog the Bounty Hunter, Without a Trace, L&O, and MTV Hits as well as chill with my cat Illie, work on little DIY projects for the wedding, do extensive wedding related searches on Google using my "skills." Ha-ha. We are having a 150+ ppl wedding incorporating his Jewish background and my Japanese heritage.
- I eat cut-up raw summer tomatoes with a sprinkle of sugar
- I start speaking Japanese towards the end of the day (That explains why Mr. Orange understands some Japanese — well, my whinings at least)
- I love Manischewitz Kosher Wine
- I sing in my car — it’s an oversized karaoke box to me (I try not to dance since they can see you dance at intersections)
- I am always…

Wedding Date: September 2007
Blogging Since: November 29, 2006
Venue: Hyatt Lodge, Oak Brook IL
About Me: I have been dreaming about my wedding forever, and flipping through bridal magazines since high school, so I am in my element! I am calling our theme "Vintage Inspired French/Asian Fusion." Mr. Emerald is very involved in the planning process, but of course he generally defers to me cuz I have a strong opinion of how I want everything to be :-).
(In no particular order)
1. I have seen David Copperfield perform live 6 times! Yes, even at the risk of sounding like a dork, I used to be a big fan (throughout the 90’s).
2. I always eat things with a crust from the outside to the inside… e.g. with sandwiches, I eat around it in an even, circular fashion. I also eat my pizza crust first.

Venue: Marie Gabrielle Restaurant & Gardens
About Me: I'm in the midst of trying to plan a "perfectly beautiful" wedding and decorating my new home. It's been exhausting but totally worth every minute of it. Ironically, I was never the type of person to want to get married but now that I'm engaged, I get giddy over anything that is wedding related! I'll try my best to give you all unique and practical ideas.
1) I love the smell of playdo, even as an adult.
2) I have to wear a bra to sleep or else I feel naked.
3) I have dreams that I leave the house without shoes on.
4) I must eat every 2-3 hours except when I’m sleeping.
5) I like to people watch.
6) I don’t enjoy eating apples but I love apple juice.

Wedding Date: May 12, 2007
Venue: Hotel Ballroom
About Me: I love all things artsy and unique, and it has become a passion of mine to incorporate these attributes into my wedding (and become DIY royalty in the process). Other than dreaming up projects for the wedding, my latest hobbies include working on my computer, playing with my cute pet bunny, or shopping at Target/Barnes and Noble with my fiance.
And here goes… six weird things about Miss Plumeria (but isn’t it all relative? ).
1. I sound somewhat like a little girl when I talk (voice not content, thankyouverymuch). Unless I have a cold… then I have a husky sexy woman voice. Not.
2. I was so shamefully awkward during my junior high years (braces, telescope glasses, large Disney character T-shirts and leggings with knee socks…

Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, P.E. Teach/Coach @ private schools in LA
Engagement Date: March 31, 2006
Wedding Date: November 3, 2007
Venue: Radisson Hotel
About Me: I'm a bookkeeper who failed high school algebra. I'm currently living in Los Angeles, literally a street over from where I grew up with Mr. Kiwi, my honey of three years. We have a jumbo mini-dachshund (seriously, he's huuuuge), and we're planning an autumn themed wedding on a shoestring, paid for by ourselves. The wedding date is my late grandma's birthday, I needed her there somehow, and that seemed like the best way for us. I can't believe I'm a Bee! I couldn't be more proud!
Since it seems like the readers like the little “Interesting things about me” posts, I thought I’d post a similar one. So, I have for you the 7 reasons Mr. Kiwi is the best person for me.
1.) He has hands softer than mine. Drives me crazy, especially because he works with his hands DAILY. Sooo smooth. Soo jealous, but feels so nice.
2.) He rubs my…

Wedding Date: April, 2007
Venue: Tuscon, Arizona
About Me: Here are some things I love?�‚�? painting, drawing, knitting and all other crafty things (including glueing popsicle sticks together); burritos (must be from Arizona); indie/70s rock; whiskey; dogs (if only my tiny apt could support one!); bad TV; and reading. I'm also crazy indecisive so fingers crossed wedding planning doesn't kill me.
Um, OK, here goes…
1) I like to burp.
2) I used to have purple hair (and occasionally hot pink)
3) I like to pee with the door open — too much information? Mrs. Bee said, weird and I think that qualifies.
4) Before we dated, I pulled a prank on Mr. Lily where I decorated the right-hand side of his car with porn (not alone, with a friend).…

Venue: The Roycroft Inn, East Aurora NY
About Me: I love wedding and event planning.

yellow lab and Stella, a 1 year old old cock-a poo.
1. I love love to cook and eat really good food - my favorite snack is popcorn on the stove with truffle oil and parm cheese, but sometimes I just can’t resist velveeta and rotel tomatoes melted with tostitos!
2. I am a camera junkie - I take pictures of anything and everything - it drives Mr. Raspberry nuts.
3. I like to eat good summer tomatoes…

About Me: Mr. Pearl and I have been together for about four and a half years now.

I love shopping for housewares and office supplies, music, reading chick lit, football, and the diverse world of Los Angeles dining.
1. I was on Teen Jeopardy when I was in high school. Yes, the real one on TV. No, I didn’t win… but I came close (2nd place). I used to get fan mail from all over the country from this… people have a strange love for Jeopardy. And when I went to college orientation that summer, some kid swore he knew me (we’d never…
