In honor of my childhood nights spent hibachi BBQing on the beach with my family, we are hosting a traditional New England Clambake for our reception.
Ever since our wedding, I have been a complete and utter emotional wreck. I thought maybe it was because I was coming down from the wedding planning high. Or perhaps it had to do with the stress of losing my job at 8:30 in the morning the day we returned from our honeymoon. Or quite possibly, it was a combination…

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!
It’s time to make the babies! Okay, it’s not. It’s time to change the way I DON’T make babies. As sad as it makes me, watching my hard-working eggs give up month after month, I need new birth control. I know this has been blogged about previously, but I figured why not give the topic another spin.

I know this may be a touchy subject, but as someone who has gone through it, I thought I should talk about this (even though I may get majorly flamed). As reader Laura commented in my Fire vs Comfort post, sometimes the sex in a relationship just wanes. Or is non-existent. I can agree with this, and actually say that ours is somewhat stagnant as…

Recently I’ve heard about a lot of couples practicing a little bit of “re-abstinence” before the wedding. For couples who haven’t abstained before the engagement/marriage, they take a couple months off pre-wedding to kinda get the mystery back.
Now, although that sounds like a great idea, and I’d love to try it (heck, may even give it a whirl!) women have expressed their doubts. Since women…

Soooo to get myself ready, I just recently started taking birth control pills. It’s been about 4 days and so far I haven’t experienced any of the side effects, so that’s been good. A problem, however, has been that I have a hard time remembering to take it! Especially at the same time every day.
I decided I’d take mine at noon everyday, since 5 out…

Okayyyyy, soooo I’ve been thinking about this for some time, but I was too embawased to bring it up on weddingbee… but Miss Kiwi’s post helped me muster up my courage and just talk about it (thanks Miss Kiwi!).
For the life of me I can’t remember where - I tried to google it but that just resulted in lots of naughty sites >_< - but a few months ago I read that 60% of couples end up NOT having sex on their wedding night. That’s more than half!! For me, when I read that I was like, wwhhhhaaatttt?! This was such a shock to me because this is one of the things I’m quite looking forward to. Why? Because…*breathe* here goes… I’m a virgin (yep, and darn proud of it too! ahaha).

I wonder if the mystery and allure of the “first night together” has gone the way of 8 tracks and pet rocks - the age of excitement over the first time together has passed for a lot of us. In the past, wedding night lingerie consisted of teddys, negligees and silk. It was all about being pleasing to the eye of the new hubby, because…

Music is in my heart. Carpe diem.
Mrs. Bee posted earlier last week asking “How often do you have sex?” Now I want pry a little more into your bedroom and ask what form of birth control you use or plan on using after marriage. The reason why I’m curious is I know a disproportionate amount of “almost doctors” who aren’t on “the pill.” These are educated women who are using no…
Reader Annie left this comment on the last reader buzz, and for some reason, it cracked me up:
I’m relatively new to weddingbee, so i don’t know all the rules. Is there a reason why you almost never talk about sex? I always thought it was a huge topic in marriage, like the whole saving yourself til honeymoon, a reason why people divorce,…

I was surprised that so many couples schedule a Date Night. Then Mr. Bee was reading Glamour magazine (it was laying around the apartment) and read that many couples schedule a regular Sex Night!
