Viva Las Vegas Part III: All You Need Is Love
March 17th, 2008 @ 6:02 pm by Mrs. Petunia
As was promised to us by many, one of the highlights of our honeymoon was seeing Cirque du Soleil’s Beatles show: LOVE. Of course, I would think you’d have to be a Beatles fan to love it, but I’m always surprised when I hear people say they aren’t.

Viva Las Vegas Part II: The Suite Life
March 14th, 2008 @ 10:04 am by Mrs. Petunia
We’re suckers for suites, so the moment we arrived at the Paris and we were offered an upgrade to a Calais suite for $95 a night, we took it: it was our honeymoon after all.
Our first suite was nice, but we agreed we wouldn’t call it amazing:
The television in the bedroom was encased in a piece of a furniture that hid it and that upon turning the TV on, made the unit appear and disappear. We first thought it tres cool, but actually, it made a grating noise and was horrendously loud.

Viva Las Vegas Part I: Bienvenue To Paris
March 12th, 2008 @ 5:25 pm by Mrs. Petunia
We have about one more week before the official wedding photos “drop like they’re hot,” so it’s time for the honeymoon recap!Okay, so it wasn’t real Paris, but the Paris Las Vegas welcomed us with open arms nonetheless and well, since we’ve never been to Paris, France anyway, we were impressed! We couldn’t have asked for better weather either.
Tear: Last Day Of Honeymoon

Cry! Do we have to come home? Cause we’ve gotten so good at putting the “Privacy” signs out on our hotel doors! Well, at least I look forward to telling the hive of all the Vegas fun we’ve had!

Rushing off to Vegas on the honeymoon — yeah baby! — but wanted to share our first official picture as Mr. and Mrs. Petunia (we LOVE our amazing photographers, who slaved away to get this shot to us just hours after the wedding!). Can’t wait to share all the details of our amazing day with the Weddingbee world! Thanks Bees & readers for so generously allowing me to share pretty much everything that went into planning our day over the past months!

Tons of pink & green and general Monopoly stuff has thrown up over every surface of the Petunia home. Because there isn’t just one of any thing, of course: there were 10+ gifts that required wrapping , 30-something Monopoly houses to be spray-painted (and that’s only half of them), more than one hundred favor envelopes and tokens to prepare, etc.:
Boardwalk Sweets

We went back and forth on the whole candy buffet idea, but then decided what better to go with our touch of Monopoly than conjuring up the image for our guests of old Atlantic City and sweets from the Boardwalk?

Welcome To The Sunshine State
February 26th, 2008 @ 10:31 am by Mrs. Petunia
When my FMIL volunteered to put together our OOT guest bags, I breathed a sigh a relief for myself (one less thing for me to worry about, thankfully) and when she told me she would be using nylon, machine-washable “eco-chic” BAGGU bags, I breathed a sigh of relief for the environment, too:
Bright As A Bulb
February 25th, 2008 @ 12:39 pm by Mrs. Petunia
You’ll find tungsten in light bulbs and circuits, among other places, so it only seemed fitting that Mr. Petunia, an electrical engineering student, should sport a tungsten wedding band, no?

It IS A Delightful Detail!
February 21st, 2008 @ 11:44 am by Mrs. Petunia
I’ve wanted a Delightful Details sign ever since I saw them featured on a Weddingbee Giveaway back in August and I can’t begin to explain in words how lovely the thing is! (Or how big! I’ve never had a good sense of what dimensions are what, so I couldn’t appreciate its true size until I had it in my own little hands!). I especially *heart* the font!:
