I’m stoked to marry my best friend and to throw what I hope will be
the most fun and colourful party of our lives.
The night before the wedding (which is only a few days away - yikes!), Mr. Hum and I have agreed to spend the night in different places. He will stay at our ceremony/reception site with the boys - his dad, his brother Nick and our friend and videographer Alex (a.k.a. Zombiegroom), while I head over to Ancaster with my future sister-in-law Erin and our friend…

I'm a power shopper always on the lookout for good deals or great quality-- sometimes I'm lucky and I find both! I love to dance and "shake what my momma gave me" but can also really enjoy a quiet night in with Mr. Canary and a good episode of Seinfeld or curl up with a good book.
Mr. Canary and I love movies, though nowadays we don’t go as often as we’d like… but Netflix gets us through some good movie binges.

Last week, we watched Away from Her which is such a great film and Julie Christie’s performance was nothing short of perfection. I only hope to age as gracefully and beautifully as Julie Christie! Anyway, the story line…

Happy Valentine’s Day bees and readers! So it’ll be my last valentine’s as an unmarried woman… Mr. Lovebird and I are guilty of overlooking this holiday the last couple of years. Today will be no different. He will be studying for his upcoming neurology exam and I will be at home treating myself to one of my click-flicks.

After two years, he moved to my neck of the woods, and a year and a half after that, he proposed at the “place we fell in love.” I am a true perfectionist who enjoys designing and creating more work for myself, so wedding planning is my perfect outlet. Mr. Cupcake and I are both old souls, and we hope to weave that aspect of our personalities into our wedding day.
Not too long ago, Mr. Cupcake was away for a week on vacation with his parents in the Adirondacks. It was one of my busiest times at work, so I was unable to join them (and I kind of thought it made for a nice excuse to let Mr. Cupcake enjoy a vacation with his parents, whom he is extremely close to and whom I…

I came across an interesting article while surfing the web today about a new movie coming out.

“Anne Hathaway has been set to star with Kate Hudson in “Bride Wars,” and Gary Winick (of 13 Going on 30 fame) has signed to direct the romantic comedy for New Regency.

On one side, I’m a girly girl. I read countless bridal and fashion magazines, and have an obsession with keeping up with the latest Hollywood gossip. On the other side, I’m a sports fanatic. Despite being a full-time bride-to be, full-time research assistant, and part-time student, I’m also a full-time Red Sox fan from spring training to October, and a full-time Patriots fan from mini-camp to February. I devote almost as much time researching my for fantasy football team as researching for our wedding!
I’ve been kinda excited about the movie, 27 Dresses, ever since I first heard about it on the bee a little while ago. I’m a big Grey’s Anatomy fan, and I love Katherine Heigl!
Mrs. Kiwi, Los AngelesAge and Occupation in 06: 27, BookkeeperFiance's Age and Occupation: 27, P.E. Teach/Coach @ private schools in LAEngagement Date: March 31, 2006Wedding Date: November 3, 2007Venue: Radisson HotelAbout 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!
Although we’ve had the movie at home for days (Netflix is awesome!), Mr. Kiwi and I finally watched Little Miss Sunshine. Needless to say, the movie is great! Something else I noticed… the pageant is filmed in the room we’re having our reception! How exciting is that?
Here they are in the foyer where we’re having our bar and guest book table (apologize for the size):

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!
Baby, it’s cold outside! So what’s better than curling up with your honey and a great wedding-related movie? Nothing! (god I’m cheesy :P).
Here are some wedding movies I can think of, off the top of my head:
Father of the Bride
The Wedding Singer
The Wedding Planner
Wedding Crashers (not sure if this should count :P)
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
The Wedding Date
My Best Friend’s Wedding

My fiance and I are high school sweethearts!
Yesterday, I stumbled upon a wedding scene being filmed for a movie!
(Sorry about the poor image quality. I took these with my cell phone.)
At first, I wondered if I was hallucinating… Perhaps after a year and a half of non-stop planning and fantasizing about weddings, I’d become so far gone that I was now imagining some sort of wedding mirage.

A few weeks ago I saw this movie and I really liked it. The movie takes place in PHILLY! Woohoo!
It’s about two sisters, one’s a back stabbing ho, who have nothing in common but their shoe size but they eventually learn to understand one another after meeting their grandmother. At the end of the movie the older sister gets married at this small Jamaican restaurant…

Yesterday while Mr. Ladybug was taking a nap, I caught the middle of Diary of a Mad Black Woman. It’s about this woman, Helen, who married a wealthy lawyer, Charles, and after 18 years he threw her out of the house in front of his mistress. I don’t know if he was wealthy after they got married or before, but she wasn’t a gold digger.…
