Mrs. Kiwi's Picture
Mrs. Kiwi, Los Angeles Age and Occupation in 06: 27, Bookkeeper 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!

One of the greatest things in this world is love, right? This is why we love hearing stories about how couples met and why they “knew.” As a soon to be married, I want to know everything about our family history. I want to know more about the grandma who passed away before I could ask these questions that bubble up constantly.

Although raised as poor…

Reading Is Fun

March 23rd, 2007 @ 4:48 pm by Mrs. Kiwi

At what age do you think the ring bearers and flower girls can remember the experience? I ask because our FG and RB are both going to be four, and I hope the wedding is a fun experience for them. My cousin Karen, the FG’s mom, thanked me for giving her daughter a memory like this one.

To help the kids remember their important role in…

How Dare They Mock Martha!

March 21st, 2007 @ 4:36 pm by Mrs. Strawberry

I’ve been kind of stressed out about the wedding as of late. I feel like I’m drowning. I’m the Titanic and I’m going down. Okay, I’m being overly dramatic. I think I’ve just run out of steam. I just wish I wasn’t doing everything myself. For example, the guest list. I asked my parents to give me their list of people this weekend. No, they…

Bride in Overdrive

February 28th, 2007 @ 12:04 pm by Mrs. Kiwi

When I first got engaged, I swept up any and all books with the words “marriage”, “bride” and “wedding” in the title. Now, almost a year later, I finally finished one of them.

The book is “Bride in Overdrive” by Jorie Green Mark - it’s a non-fiction book about her descent into wedding insanity, and how she came out of it unscathed. This book is hilarious!

About Mrs. Orchid

I absolutely love this book.

It’s savvy, stylish and well written, giving wonderful tips on how to save money and what to know before meeting with your vendors. The tone of this book is very light, making it fun and readable unlike your usual wedding how-to book drone. In each of the sections, the author not only goes through how to approach vendors to ensure…

About Mrs. Blueberry

I have read many, many wedding planning books and guides, both online and in print. So when I saw the above title on sale for $4.98 at my local Barnes and Noble, I eagerly snapped it up to add to my collection.

Now, I sort of wish I had my $4.98 (plus tax!) back. Because I could buy a grande skim chai latte and a slice…

The Five Love Languages

January 5th, 2007 @ 4:44 pm by Mrs. Poppy

Mr. Poppy and I are doing a premarital counseling thing with our wonderful officiant/pastor since we’ve been engaged. The first thing that was recommended was a book entitled: The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment To Your Mate by Gary Chapman. I am not one that likes reading books that are along the self help line, but I have to say that this…

Books for the Bride

December 27th, 2006 @ 4:49 pm by Mrs. Plumeria

Lately, if you happened to bump into me at one of the local Barnes and Noble bookstores in the East Bay Area, chances are you’d find me browsing through the ¢¢â€š¬…”Bridal/Etiquette¢¢â€š¬? section. They have a pretty large selection of all books wedding-related, from cake and flower photo books, to numerous publications by The Knot, to countless different wedding planner/journal-type books.

My First Gift

August 14th, 2006 @ 2:22 pm by Mrs. Violet

My first gift from my FSIL.

I was so touched by the gift that I decided to show her my thanks for a bracelet that she’s been eyeing in my store.

I haven’t read the book yet, but it contains a nice quote I thought I’d share:

Your love is a great mystery/ It is like an eternal lake/whose waters are always still and clear like glass./Looking into…
