Mrs. Gummi Bear, San Francisco Age and Occupation: 25, Japanese Importer/Illustrator Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Game Developer/Programmer Engagement Date: April 15, 2006 Wedding Date: October 13, 2007 Blogging Since: June 19, 2007 Venue: Organic farm an hour from San Francisco About Me: I live for anthropologie, design blogs, sweets, japanese zakka, and vintage goods. We just bought our first home together and live with our two puppies and cat - it's a strange mixture of vintage, high-tech (we have 7 computers and 21 video game systems in all), and a whole lot of fur. Our wedding tries to embody the Japanese idea of "slow life", which is truly taking the time to enjoy food, company, and your environment!
About Mrs. Gummi Bear

Ah, the Sacrifices We Make.

September 15th, 2009 @ 10:28 am by Mrs. Gummi Bear

After the wedding I had my dress cleaned, put it neatly in a bag, and then threw it on the floor in the back of my closet, heaped into a little pile. I thought I might sell it one day, but Mr. GB is sentimental and doesn’t want me to. I’m not attached to much; even cards that I give to Mr. GB I hand…

He was attracted to my intensity, and I was mesmerized by his trivia pursuit skills and his dorm furniture adorned with his initials. We've grown more sophisticated through the years, with our love of wine, owning a house together, and parenthood (of a cat), but we have not lost our silliness or childish sense of humor!

Mrs. Bunny's Picture
Mrs. Bunny, Columbus Age and Occupation: 24, Associate Editor/Reporter Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, Reporter Engagement Date: September 23, 2008 Wedding Date: July 2009 Venue: Everal Barn, Westerville About Me: Organized, but messy. I love art (all kinds). I don't have any secrets. I talk a lot and listen even more. I show love by baking. I'm timid by nature, but brave when it counts. Mr. Bunny and I work at competing weekly newspapers, which makes it a little interesting trying to describe our work joys and frustrations without giving away too much before the paper comes out. In spite of that little hurdle, we've managed to build a pretty solid relationship in the short one-and-a-half years we will have been together when we tie the knot. I can't wait!
About Mrs. Bunny

This post has been a loooong time coming. I had a lot of... concerns about writing about this issue, but I really think I need to share my experience, so here it goes!

With 21 days left until our wedding, Mr. Bunny and his "buddies", as he likes to call them, took off for his bachelor party. They spent Friday night at a campground in southern Ohio and then moseyed on down to Athens to spend the day in his old college town. From what I heard, it was a rollicking good time!

While Mr. Bunny was away, I took advantage of my privacy to work on his wedding gift.

I love my job most of the time because I get to travel and work with brilliant people who are trying to prevent Malaria. I love DIY projects of all sorts, cooking, and watching sports. I'd wear anything at Anthropologie and could spend all day on Etsy. I love to travel but shouldn't because I always get myself into unbelievable situations!
About Mrs. Joey

OK, this is the last in the mini-series about lessons I learned and things I’d do differently. Let’s talk about photography.

A lot of people have asked me what I thought about the photographer we used at our wedding, particularly since we paid so little ($300) and I found him on Craigslist. I know I’ve said this before, but I’ll just say it again for the record: we’re not picture people. We LOVE photography and love looking at other people’s pictures, but our own? Not so much.

Or anywhere in France, for that matter!). I’m a full-time worker, part-time student, soon-to-be-step-mom, indie music lovin’, architecture and design fanatic, macaroni and cheese addict, vegetarian, Francophile, Ohio State football obsessed, wedding planning girl.

Ya Mon! Faux-to Booth Fun!

September 9th, 2009 @ 10:33 am by Mrs. Quiche

Early on in our photography meetings, our awesome photographer and I both professed love for photobooths, lovingly dubbed the “Faux”-to Booth. We went back and forth on whether to hang fabric or use a white screen, but we ended up with something better!

The Caribbean! When the sun sets in Jamaica, it gets dark. Fast. There isn’t ambient light, which in Chicago makes me feel like…

Miss Frozen Yogurt, Dallas Age and Occupation: 28, Special Projects Coordinator Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Equity Trader Engagement Date: March 19, 2009 Wedding Date: April 2010 Venue: Marie Gabrielle, Dallas About Me: I was born and raised in Texas, and have lived in several of the cities across the state, but I currently reside in Austin. I went to college in Boston and have a special place in my heart for the Northeast. I love reading, shopping, wine, reuniting with college friends that are scattered across the country, reality TV, trying out new recipes, and attempting all the DIY projects that come along with wedding planning. I'm a "bleeding heart, save the world type" and thankfully my job allows me to work on legislation and policy to help out those in need. I met Mr. Frozen Yogurt in a bar, though he doesn't even drink! And now we are planning a modern yet vintage wedding in Dallas while dealing with the trials and tribulations of first time homeownership.

Photobooth

September 2nd, 2009 @ 3:30 pm by Miss Frozen Yogurt

I really want a photobooth at my wedding. I also think that all sorts of props will be in order, I’m thinking hats, wigs, glasses, etc. I don’t know where I’ll find all this stuff, but maybe hit the costume stores right after Halloween? Can someone remind me of that plan??

Lulu has once again come to our rescue.

I was telling - okay, complaining to - her about how much people charge for engagement shoots, and she kindly offered to photograph our engagement shoot! She is an excellent photographer, as you may remember from this picture:

I love fast cars and high heels, and my favorite food is cake. Mr. Mary Jane and I are both full-time employees and students, and we just bought our first house. We love to curl up on the couch with buttery popcorn, Sour Patch Kids, and the latest Netflix arrival -- whenever we can get a break from everyday life.
About Mrs. Mary Jane

So you’re trying to take some photos of your bling. Or your finished DIY menu cards. Or the sweet shower invitation you got the other day. And you already know Anne Ruthmann’s tutorial like the back of your hand. But the pictures just aren’t coming out right. Why???

My hunch is: You’re probably not playing close enough attention to Step #3.

We’ve poured ourselves into planning a wedding that reflects our personal style - modern and high contrast with a vintage twist. Blogging keeps me creative, baking keeps me happy, and grande nonfat no foam sugar free vanilla lattes keep me sane.

Grab Your Name and Find Your Number…

In the early dark ages of my wedding planning, I found and fell in love with our great cake topper. Remember? I also developed the escort cards that will nestle into bed of wheatgrass at the reception, as you might recall.

However, one topic I haven’t touched on are our table numbers. How are our cake toppers involved in this topic, you ask? Well, I decided…

House About Me: I’m a self-proclaimed grammar geek who loves singing (like, really belting it) in the car. My mister and I are planning a vibrant summer soiree celebrating our passions – including food and Philly – and when we make it official, we’ll have been together for eight years! Being super competitive is in my nature, and talking excessively is in my genes. I’ve got a terrible sense of direction, but can always easily find my way into Mr. Bruschetta’s arms.

Urbane Playground

August 27th, 2009 @ 5:05 pm by Mrs. Bruschetta

The mister and I recently revisited our church (on the beautiful Villanova University campus) and reception neighborhood (in the Old City section of Philadelphia) to scout out the most “photogenic” areas for our post-ceremony pictures.

Since we’re crossing off the formals and posed pictures in the morning, this portion of the wedding day will focus much more on photojournalism — and perhaps will include a bit…

We both come from a small town in PA but are growing to love the California lifestyle. He loves wine and I love cheese... the perfect combination! When I'm not drooling over wedding blogs, I'm attending grad school, out being a foodie, or attempting to "walk" our cat at the park. Two things guaranteed to excite me are wedding cakes and breaking out my suitcase to travel.

‘Meeting’ Our Photographer

August 20th, 2009 @ 5:55 pm by Mrs. Sunbeam

Tonight Mr. SB and I will have a virtual meet up with our photographer. I thought it would be best to meet and greet before the wedding day, because I already expect to feel awkward in front of the camera, let alone in front of a would-be total stranger. I also had a few things to share that I felt the need to share with…

Caution: Bridal Bumps in the Road

August 20th, 2009 @ 1:41 pm by Mrs. Sunbeam

When I made a trip home in July, we found that our caterer’s food and demeanor was not up to our standards after all, and scrambled to find a new caterer who rocked. Luckily, we did just that and couldn’t be happier with Jody’s Pantry Catering.

Last weekend I went home again, and like the first trip, I encountered a huge unexpected bump in the road. I was going to be in Cleveland the last day of my visit, so I scheduled to meet with our photographer, primarily so we could meet before the big day and avoid the feeling of, 'Hi stranger, would you like to take some photographs of me being emotional and getting dressed?'

Our DIY Fauxtobooth

I was going to save this post for later, but a tweet from Mrs. Peony this morning has prompted me to seize the day and share some of our wedding day deets!

I’d never seen the trend of having photobooths at weddings until I started reading wedding blogs, but I was immediately taken with the idea. I love getting my picture “drawn” at those dinky photobooths…

Oh Snap! Photobooth Fun

August 18th, 2009 @ 12:55 pm by Mrs. Lightning

A while back we booked a photobooth to entertain guests and add that extra bit of carnival fun we were after. It wasn’t easy finding a vendor in South Africa, but after some browsing I finally found Photobooth Inc. We’ve arranged for it to be placed in the smaller hotel restaurant which is adjacent to Pure. The operator will set up at the start of dinner so that it will be operational when people start venturing out of their seats to greet other family members and friends, and of course, later during the dance portion of the evening.

A Venue for Photographs

August 17th, 2009 @ 3:34 pm by Mrs. Lightning

The time has come for Mr Lightning and I to select a venue for photographs. We have decided to buck tradition once again and have our formal photographs taken before the ceremony for two reasons. One: because it makes use of the best light considering our wedding is in the evening. Two: because we won’t have to leave our beloved guests unattended with our reception to follow directly after the ceremony (it being the same venue for both after all).
