Hello Weddingbee!

Hello, my name is Miss Lemon and I have been addicted to sample sales for the past ten years. It started with a simple flier posted on my college campus and a few Saturday sales, and then it grew into a weekly obsession spanning both coasts. I thought I could keep my obsession under wraps, but then they introduced online sample sales! And when it…

About Me: I have been engaged for about two years now - yes, a long engagement, because my fiance and I wanted to wait until I graduated college, which I did this past summer! He proposed after dating just two months - crazy, I know, but 2 years later, here we are, still crazy in love :-). We are having not one, but TWO weddings and TWO receptions in one weekend - American-style and Vietnamese-style - in Dallas, Texas, where I was born and raised!
