As Miss Jasmine has shown us, Indian culture is incredibly rich, colorful, and vibrant. Last summer, one of my best friends married his beautiful wife with a 4-day long celebration full of Indian traditions and lively dancing. I’ll share some details of the Gujurati garba-raas event, which took place the night before their ceremony and reception. It was amazing to watch and even more exhilarating…

Last night Mr. Bee and I attended a wedding at a unique and intimate Manhattan venue called the Explorers Club.

I’ve already shared my friend Hee Won’s engagement ring, her engagement pics, and the video of Peter serenading her, so now it’s finally time to share some pictures of their wedding day!
The wedding was held at the beautiful Greystone Mansion and Park. Though Greystone’s zip code is 90210, it’s a public park so rental fees are surprisingly affordable.

Last September Mr. Peony and I took a trip to Seattle to attend the wedding of Juliette and Mark. We all attended the same university and so it was quite sweet to see fellow college sweethearts tying the knot. I met Juliette when she and Mark had first started dating, so it was quite emotional to witness their vows.

I usually don’t like to write about things that have already made the rounds on other wedding blogs, because I’m just weird that way. But this a truly stunning wedding, so I had to share with those of you who have yet to see it. Check out many more gorgeous photos of Ev & Sara’s wedding via Mightygirl here and here.

I first met our featured bride, Jenny, at a summer camp when we were in elementary school. We were in the same group and she even came over to my house once after camp ended… but soon thereafter we lost contact. Fast forward nearly 15 years when we subscribed to each other’s xanga sites. We’d been reading each other’s sites for years before we just…
