Yesterday afternoon, I finally got to attend my first bee meet up. I left Mr. Peep on the couch with the fan on (it was a record high of 100 degrees at our house yesterday!!), and made my way over to Triple Rock in Berkeley. After reading Weddingbee for over a year and writing for it since November, I couldn’t believe I was going to…

With less than three months before the wedding, we finally have confirmation that we have a place for the rehearsal dinner!! In fact, it’s such an awesome venue that if I could rewind a year and re-pick our wedding venue, this is where we’d actually host the wedding reception (but don’t tell).
Our goal was to find something casual, fun, and within walking distance of the…

I am the absolute worst Bee blogger ever. I went to my first dress fitting—and the camera in my battery was dead!! I feel like I committed a blogging crime by doing something so important and not taking my camera. If it’s any help, my Mom was a bit disappointed that I didn’t take any pictures either.

While I might be slightly obsessed with the finding the perfect pair of peep toe shoes to wear for the wedding, Mr. Peep has known since day one what he wanted to wear: Chucks.
I don’t know if I was sold on him wearing Connies for the wedding, but as soon as I found out that he could design his own Connies, I knew he needed…

So, my first dress fitting is today!! I am so nervous.
It won’t actually be my dress, but a muslin of my dress made to fit my body!! While I have been working extra hard to get my body into shape (I’ll post on this soon), I figured it wouldn’t hurt to have some extra under-roo help.
So, I went looking for the holy Mecca of underwear…

I just realized that while I have hinted at a few of our vendors, I have yet to properly introduce them.
First up, a vendor that I was destined to book: Huckleberry Karen Designs.
Why was this my destiny? These are little known Weddingbee facts, but my name is Karen, and my dog’s name is Huckleberry!! Seriously, no joke!! Everyone I’ve told has laughed at me about this…

Like many a bee before me, I have hit a few bumps in the road in wedding planning. About a month ago we hit a snag that made me feel seriously over wedding planning. While I obviously haven’t called off our wedding, it has taken me this long to get perspective and realize I should share my blunder with the hive.

I love the idea of this post. I have lived all over the West Coast, and both Mr. PT and I love San Francisco with all our hearts. One could say it’s in our blood; both of our parents honeymooned in San Francisco in the 1960s! They even bought the same souvenirs.
Please bear with me: I love this Golden City! So, buckle your seat belts…

Many people wonder how Mr. Peep got into the olive oil industry, and the truth is that he has only been making olive oil for about a year and a half. Before that, he spent almost ten years in the wine industry. In fact, when we first started dating, Mr. Peep worked for a small winery in Napa Valley running their sparkling wine program. (Do you…

Seriously. My first dress fitting is in less than two weeks, and I still don’t have a viable pair of shoes to wear. And it’s not from lack of research or shoe purchases. I have officially bought FIVE pairs of shoes for the big event– and I have returned four of them.
I showed you the first pair, which I actually bought for 32 bucks!!

Mr. Peep is a total music person. On our first two dates, other than bringing me flowers and sparkling wine, he burned me two mixed CDs, and I only knew one song from both CDs. Now these songs are burned into my brain from listening to Mr. Peep’s music practically non-stop for the last three years. He introduced me to folks like Gomez, the Arcade…

Just sending a friendly reminder email about this weekend’s Paper Source event that Mrs. Cherry Blossom blogged about. I’ll be at the Chestnut store in San Francisco around noon tomorrow.
Would love to meet up with any other Bay Area Bees?
