Wedding Blog

Garden Ridge always has great deals on decorative items so I decided to stop by this past weekend to take a look. They had piles and piles of Easter items on sale. I found these cute Easter baskets on sale for half off - $1.50 each basket. They had so many different colors, sizes, and designs. Unforunately, I couldn’t find one that had a creme/sage/chocolate…

This is the deck outside of our venue (actually, this is the deck as viewed through a window. It felt like minus 30 last week with the wind and I really didn’t want to step outside. Not even for your benefit, dear readers).

This is where Mr. Broccoli and I will (hopefully) lead all of our little kiddie guests sometime during the reception and help them…

There are going to a LOT of kiddies at our wedding. Consider this: Mr. Broccoli’s father has NINE brothers and sisters and all but a couple have 4+ kids. And let’s not forget the second cousins and their kids. No way! You say… Ha. I wish.

We were in the arcade area playing the games and we came across a funny little photo booth, “The Gene…

I love kids, don’t get me wrong. We plan on having 3. We have names picked out and I love looking at baby clothes, cribs and nursery decor. My friends who are older than me think I’m very strange. Now, I’m in graduate school and a bit of a feminist when it comes to certain issues. I’m definitely not a burn-my-bra kinda gal, but I…

Tick*tick*tick. What’s that sound keeping me up at night? My biological clock. It’s ticking so hard I can barely focus on wedding planning! When I was dating Mr. Kiwi, my obsession was rings and engagements. After we were engaged, I spent the first few months booking things and picking out colors until my eyes crossed. Now with less than a year to the wedding, I…

I had lunch with a friend today who’s working on a business class project about a baby website. She asked if I could give her the data from a post on babies I wrote a long time ago, when weddingbee was but a little personal blog. This is the transferred post - you’ll see that the first commenter is my mom. It’s the one and…
