I feel like there have been a LOT of new bees lately (in the past month or so I guess), and I wanted to see if any of them wanted to stop by and say hello to the boards and (if they want to) out themselves as previous posters? I know some bees were not board users before they became bees, and some don't want to out themselves... but I think a lot of us like to know if you are someone we knew on the boards.
So... new bees... if you'd like to, say hello :)
Hello,
I've posted some since getting engaged in July, but never formally introduced myself. I'm jenewitt, or some people call me JB. My FI and I have been together for about 4 1/2 years and just got engaged in July in Block Island, RI. We're having our wedding in Savannah, GA on June 25, 2011. He's Brazilian and I'm Texan, so I'm trying to figure ways to incorporate those things into our Southern wedding! I love reading all y'alls posts on here and they really help me clarify some things I've been trying to plan!!
hello everyone!
i've been posting here for about a month i think. definitely wish i had found this site sooner! anyways, my name is faith and i live with my fi in colorado. i am an attorney. we are both from the east coast-- i am from southern virginia and he is from western nc... so we are getting married in a week and a half on the outer banks in nc!
we have been together for a year, and living together for most of that time. ever since i met him, i just knew that i would marry him-- before that, i was starting to think that i would never meet the right person for me (i am 31).
anyways, we are having a tiny wedding-- about 20 guests, and everyone that is invited to the wedding is invited to stay in this giant beach house that we rented for the week. the wedding is on the north end of the outer banks in corolla, which i am hoping will be a little quieter than places like nags head.
i leave for virginia a week from today and am spending a couple days with my parents before heading for the beach... here's hoping for no hurricanes!
i love reading all of your posts-- they have been so helpful to me both in terms of the planning process, and in calming my pre-wedding nerves.

Hello Bees :-)
While I have been an official member of the site for over a year, I have only been posting things recently. I guess I should introduce myself, as I haven’t prior to this point. My name is Cory and I am from Pittsburgh, PA. I obtained my two bachelor’s degrees from Carlow University. I have one in psychology and the other in philosophy. I just obtained my masters degree in Professional Counseling from Carlow University. I am currently job searching. My lovely boyfriend, Pete, works for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He obtained his undergraduate degree from RMU in sports management and is currently a student at Carlow University working towards obtaining his MBA. He is expected to graduate in December. We are college sweethearts. We started dating about a month after the start of our first year of undergrad. In total, we have been together for 6 years. We put together the engagement ring and he has had it in his apartment for almost two months! Yikes! Lol. I genuinely believe I will be getting it soon though, so I am siked. I love my beautiful sweetie tons and tons and tons. We are anticipating that we will set the date for the wedding for a date during 2011. I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with him! Have a lovely day everyone :-).
Sincerely,
Cory :-)
Forgot to add originally: I am 24 years old and he is 24.5 years old.
Hello Bees!!!
I found this site a month ago when I googled images of engagement rings. I am not yet engaged, but anxiously waiting. My name is Kristen and my boyfriend's name is Ricky! We live in Florida and have 2 cats (Noni is my avatar, and Maddie)
We (Ricky and I) have been together for almost 4 years and we are 21 (me) and 22 (him).
This site has been so awesome. I am on here more than FB. I have to clear my computer's history everyday because I don't want Ricky to really know how much I obsess.....
Hi Everyone!
I joined weddingbee about a month ago and have posted some. I absoutely love this site and feel like I live on it some days, you ladies are full of such wonderful knowledge and ideas!!! My name is Courtney, I am 27 years old, and I am from the Dayton, OH area. I attended The University of Tennessee and now work as a Staffing Supervisor for a nationwide Staffing (Temp) Agency...fun times, lol! I plan to return back to school to get a teaching degree in 2 years, want to do the High School level. I was diagnosed out of the blue with Multiple Sclerosis back in March of 2009 but looking at me you can't tell I'm sick and I seem to be doing fine, just a shot three times a week. My wonderful FI is Tom, whom I met after my diagnosis and has really helped me and accepted me and my possible health issues. Let's put it this way "In sickness and in health" will mean more than anybody knows on our wedding day. Tom is orginally from Cincinnati, Ohio, 26 years old, and enlisted in the Air Force (Jet engine mechanic) after high school. He now is out and works as an engineer at GE Aviation while attending school full time for a mechanical engineering degree. We just built a house together in a more rural area of Ohio in between Cincinnati and Dayton and love it. Quiet small town that's 20 minutes to any point of civilization we need. I love my Tommy more than anything and we already have a great family between me, him, and our german Shepherd Zoe. We will be getting married at the Masonic Temple in Dayton (almost 100 years old) and our reception will be at the officer's club on Wright Patterson Air Force Base. We'll be getting married May 21st next year!
Hi Bees!
I found the site a few months ago, lurked for a while then de-lurked a couple of weeks ago. I'm not engaged....yet! But hopefully one of these I will have a date by my name instead of only the city where I live! LOL!
The BF and I have been together going on 2 yrs, we started a LDR about 4 months ago when he moved to Burbank for a new job. It's been tough but I'm trying to hang in there. He says he will only be there for a year, but I think he loves it there and wants to stay. So now I'm trying to decide if I'm willing to move across the country to the unknown (and to a place with such a high cost of living!!! YIKES!). I also have a 14 yr old, who doesn't make friends easily, so it adds another loop to my dilemma. But I guess I'm just rolling with it right now and waiting to see what happens. :)
Anyway, I love it here cause I've always been fascinated with anything wedding related. Hope y'all don't mind having an not engaged gal hangin' around. :)
Thanks Corgi for starting this thread and for the warm welcome!
uh, I think Cogi Tales was refering to actual Bees (as in, the bloggers).
Not trying to rain on parades, or discriminate, just clarify.
I doubt any blogging bees really frequent the boards all that much anyway. :P
@sassmeister: lol i did... but if new board bees want to introduce themselves thats cool too! :) I know some bees were around the boards a lot (scissors, octopus, etc)... was just wondering if any of the newer bees are familiar faces with new names :)
Hi everyone!! I wasn't too active on the boards before becoming the bee, but I have lurked around. My prior name was llc2011.
It's great to hear about the new bee posters as well :)
Hello everyone.... I just joined this board earlier this week.... I found this site about two weeks ago surfing the net for wedding related stuff (I am not engaged yet).
My boyfriend and I looked at rings about two months ago so I hope that I will be engaged within the next few months (praying sooner but hope it's no later than six months, lol). I decided to post on here hoping that it will allow me to patiently wait for him to propose. What I dont want to happen is me constantly asking him about it or getting mad because I 'thought' he was going to ask and didn't. I do not want to ruin any surprises so I am hoping that this forum will allow me to wish/hope/and vent here :)
Well Good Luck to everyone on their "soon to be engagement", "wedding planning process", and "weddings".... I look forward to chatting with you.
Hello, hello! So, I was BARELY a poster before being a Bee... I was more like a daily stalker!
I'm an old Bee by now, but I wanted to reply to @sassmeister: and say that a lot of blogging bees frequent the boards tons!
@elephant: & @hippo: welcome to the boards then, since you weren't around much before! :) Hopefully you'll stop by more and say hello now that you're blogging. Excited to hear about both of your weddings... and seriously? LOVE the safari animal theme. Almost makes me want to be reliable enough to apply to be a bee heh
Hey Bees!
I randomly found this forum about 2 weeks ago. About a month ago my guy had taken me to pick out an e-ring/stones and I was wicked excited (!!) and wanted to talk about it, but the other wedding forums I found didn't really support "ladies-in-waiting." Somehow I stumbled upon this amazing place and I've been hooked ever since. My SO hinted that the proposal will be coming towards the end of the summer, so I'm just about going crazy with anticipation!!! I just wanted to officially introduce myself and say thanks to all the fabulous and supportive members of the "Hive." :)
@elephant: i didn't realize who you were until you commented on my blog earlier this afternoon! i knew you looked familiar when i saw the weddingbee blog post today, but i couldn't place you..yay! i love when people i already follow are "new bees"!
@blondeeebuckeye: yep it's me! And it's funny that you posted about football today, because one of my posts that are going to go up is about football. Love it!
I'm an old bee too but like @nachos said, I lurk around on the boards a lot!
@elephant: oooh i love wedding + football posts. i'll be looking for it!
considering youre a football fan and you live in texas..i'm already a huge fan! :)
i think a lot of us lurk around. :) i still post on the boards, but not with the frequency I did a few months before the wedding! (Though I still read them daily. :) )
Edit: Oh, and welcome!! :)
Hello hello, Miss Zebra here! I was Miss kitty cat before but never posted much (work generally frowns on that). I do read the boards, especially the babies one, I'm FASCINATED! I will most certainly be making the commenting rounds on the boards :)
Welcome Newbees and expertbees!
I'm not necessarily a new bee anymore, I guess, but I just wanted to echo everyone else that I'm definitely on the boards a lot! My posting on the boards has dwindled lately because I just started student teaching and I don't have NEARLY as much time to be on the internet as I used to, but I'm absolutely still around! :-)
Hello everyone. My name is Alicia and I am an over 40 Encore Bride to bee....lol
I am so glad I found this site when I did. It has helped me tremendously in planning and preparing. I have gotten so many great ideas. I had sworn that I would never marry again. I eloped the first time and never gave planning a wedding much thought....I didn't know where to begin.
Nice to meet all of you!
I'm an old Bee too, but I totally lurk around a lot. I still have a case of board shyness (mostly b/c the active posters are BRILLIANT and have much better solutions and ideas than I could ever generate!).
I still love reading all the goings-on though!
Hi! I'm a bit of an "old" bee, I guess - I hope you don't mind my joining in! I was "wheresmydessert" before I became Hamster (gee, that seems like a long time ago!). Welcome, everybody!
hey all!
Handbag here! I actually posted a lot on the boards before becoming a bee...
Mrscox2b here! hah :)
I have lurked on this site since we got engaged Christmas 2008!
I'm joining in too. I used to be Miss Cake. I was an inconsistant board poster/lurker before becoming Miss Plaid. Welcome to all the new bees!
aw yay I'm so glad so many bees are coming out to post!
@handbag: I remember you! :) was there a reason you decided to restart your post count when you became a bee?
Hey y'all! I'm a newer bee too, never posted on the boards before I was accepted, I didn't even know about them! I subscribed wedding bee to my reader in '08 and barely ever visited the real site, and now I can't get off it! I like to post around here and there, looking forward to meeting more of you!
Oh hello, I posted on the boards quite frequently before I became a blogging bee! I was xoxokristin with a little deery lou icon! I haven't been on the boards as much now because being a blogging bee does take up more time and I had to take the time from something else. I do enjoy voting in polls ("WHICH DRESS DO YOU LIKE?") every now and then though!
Hiiii! jk. I am old. The D'orsay anniversary is this saturday. But just wanted to pop in to say I'm at least lurking the boards if i'm not always commenting...
Like a lot of the other "old bees" I am a complete and total lurker! :)
I used to comment quite a bit before becoming a bee (I think I had well over 1k posts). But most of the time these days I'm on late at night and it seems the answers posters are looking for have already been given, so I mainly just stalk the boards in quiet!
Edit: I was CaliValley82 before I became a bee
Hi! I'm an old bee too, but to share in the sentiment, I do lurk TONS. :) I love reading about wedding planning still. :)
@Corgi, I totally thought from this thread that it was also for new board members and was thinking what a nice idea it was! So welcome if you're new to the boards, say hi! :)
I used to be Runrgurl10 before I became Trailmix...Hammy and Cola, I totally remember you guys from the boards pre-Bee!!
