Weddingbee boards
Seeing all of these BEE gatherings in other states is making me jealous that we don't have a big enough group of girls to gather!!!
WHERE ARE YOU MY FELLOW MI BEES! and let's spread the word about 'bee through detroit! :)
@ EWL just a handful here and there... let me know if you need any advice on wedding planning, i have done the legwork and research on just about everything!
I am a MI bee too. In the Detroit-Metro area, and a gathering would be fuN!
c'mon MI bees, find this post, and say hi! so we can schedule a bee-outing!! ;)
I'm just north of Toledo (In Michigan). So not too far from Detroit.
i work in troy and live in macomb so detroit would be good for me too :)
hello fellow DETROIT BEES. :) :) Let's hear it for DEVILS NIGHT WEDDING since no where else in the world knows about this prankster holiday!
I agree we need more Michigan love on the boards. I am in Southeast Michigan, would be up for a gathering!
Hey guys!
I'm in Lansing but getting married around Detroit. I'd totally come to a Bee outing if I could make it!
@JennHasFeet: that sounds awesome! I didn't realize that Devil's Night was a Michigan thing!
Hi fellow Michigan Bees! I am from southwest Michigan, which seems to be very under represented on the Bee!
Another Michigan bee here, also in the southeast area. I also didn't know devil's night was a Michigan thing!
I'm a Michigan bee, but I live in Chicago! Sorry I won't be able to meet up!
I'm a Michigan bee in Lansing.
Anyone have rec's for makeup? I need someone not terribly expensive. I had a freelance artist from the local MAC counter lined up, but they ended up being pretty flaky and not answering calls, so I dumped them. Any suggestions?
I'll be moving to Ann Arbor at the beginning of June! A bee meet up would be a great way for me to feel less alone up there (FI is going to UM for grad school)
Anybody have advice for living in Ann Arbor?
@emily, AA is GREAT! it's a small college town, but there's TONS to eat, lil shops and boutiques to keep you busy... and is only about 30 min-45 min to the "city" in all areas, detroit, lansing, troy, kzoo, etc.
i'm totally down to schedule a MI BEE meet-up if we can get enough girls out! :)
i'm a MI bee! i'm in east lansing now but am getting married in royal oak! i'll be moving to berkley in about a month.
i had no idea that devil's night was just a MI thing! who doesn't know about that??? what weirdos! lol
What is Devil's Night? Any other MI things I should know about before I move? hehehe
I don't know if people still celebrate Devil's Night in Michigan like we used to as kids.. Houses would get TP'd, vandalized etc.. In my neighborhood, kids would grab pumpkins and smash them at houses. So we'd always take in pumpkins the night before halloween to ensure this didn't happen to our house.
I think we stopped taking in pumpkins the night before like 15 years ago, I think it had a lot to do with the improving economy at the time, kids were getting occupied with technology and stuff like that. Who knows, maybe it's making a come-back right now? :)
i know the night is celebrated elsewhere (halloween eve), but they call it different things like "mischeif night."
Devil's night started in detroit back in the 50's i believe and involved pretty harmless acts such as TP'ing, egging, and so forth. i believe sometime in the late 70's or 80's these acts turned much more damaging when arson was being spread all over detroit; people burning adondoned homes and buildings left and right. later, sometime in the 90's, the officials in detroit (in effort to gain control) turned "devil's night" into "angel's night" and had city watches the week prior to halloween and have kept up ever since.
the arson still exists but is a bit more controlled, but really only happens in detroit itself. i've never seen any happen in the cities surrounding.
i feel like we're really underrepresented for being such "big" state!! where are the MI bees at?! i don't think we even have a blogger bee!
Im a Michigan Bee. I live in South West Michigan, in the Kalamazoo area. I would love to have a bee gathering!
I'm a Michigan Bee in waiting!!! I love that someone has started conversations about getting together. I'm from the Kalamazoo area too, but I currently live in East Lansing where my BF is in law school.
@ love it - is he at cooley? i'm starting @ cooley as an evening law student in may! at their oakland campus! i'll be there for orientation in lansing on 4.30! LOL
ooo @love it and missjyc - i go to MSU! EL is definitely a fun little place, I'll be sad to leave in May! My FI is starting at MSU med school in June too but he is going to their Detroit campus, so we'll be sparty's for about 8 more years I suppose :)
I'm in Ann Arbor! @missjyc: Mrs. Taffy got married at the U of M Union, so we've got one representing!
@summer, yea and i also found out that mrs. mascara and mrs. powder puff also have MICHIGAN ties! :D
I'm actually hoping to get married up north though, as the BF is from Traverse City and we met/started dating/fell in love up there.
I'll have to check those 2 out. The northern Michigan boards are REALLY quiet...
@summer, it's sad... but most of the MI boards are really quiet! :(
i'm still trying to round up enough bees for a gathering!
@missjyc
I'm here I'm here!!!!
I live in the Kalamazoo area...west side over here :)
I graduated from MSU last may and my parents live near Ann Arbor/east side.
I must say though...I am heading to Austin in May/June...sorry MI!
I currently live in MN but.... our wedding will be in Traverse City, MI (where we met). My FI grew up in Traverse City and my parents retired to the area...so we met. We also went to Michigan Tech in the UP! Loved it!
@sulli...you went to MSU, your parents live on the East side, and you live in KZOO? why? hahah i was SO happy to get out of that place and get back to the East side. But I have to say that Austin is such a great city. If I didn't hate the heat, I would move there in a heartbeat!
I'm kind of a Michigan bee lol. My fiance lives in Lansing, and I lived in Lansing last year. I go back and forth between Texas and Michigan a lot :-) I claim dual bee citizenship!
