I know there are a ton of wanna-Bees out there, so let's share what we think would make us an awesome Bee! And hey, maybe this could be a supplementary application when we all start getting around to actually putting our apps in :)
Alright, I would be an awesome Bee because...
-I'm real and honest about my problems (wedding-related or not).
-I'm goofy. For sure.
-I'm madly in love with my FI and even if we got married tomorrow and I was wearing my yucky work scrubs, I'd be happy.
-Our totally rad beachy 80's music-vintage-cupcake-bulldog-sangria-pinecone-BBQ-love-filled wedding will rock your socks off!
Next!
Despite the fact that I do not have a blog - minor setback : ) I think about this all the time.
I would be a great bee because:
--I have already thought of awesome bee names!
--I'm funny (see previous line) j/k
--I'm one of those brides that doesn't want to care about the details of the wedding i.e. super practical, BUT am on here 24/7...I'm selling myself out!
--I know all of the acronymns and am a professional emoticon user
--I'm a bit sarcastic
That's just a start, there are so many more reasons : ) Unfortunately, I personally don't think I could commit to keeping a blog all the time - I'm already not getting any of my teacher work done, BUT I love to fantasize!
Haha, love the acronyms and emoticons reason. You're a shoo-in for that alone, IMHO :)
I would love to be a bee, I started a wedding blog but am finding it difficult to keep both that and my daily regular blog up.
But I think I'd be a good bee because:
-I'm pretty honest
-I'm DIYing pretty much everything and have no shame in posting failures. We're DIYing all our food & helping redo our reception venue.
-We're creating a totally unique wedding utilizing as many local vendors as possible.
-I'm in a small town which I find is so uncommon in Bees with many living in cities
-I've already hit some roadblocks with the wedding and think it's always helpful for other people to see that when they are planning their own wedding.
Aw, Mrs. Mouse :) Thanks! I think we all have some pretty epic shoes to fill...
I think I would be a great bee because... um, shoot. I'm awesome. And I'm totally addicted to WB (clearly). And...I haven't seen a wedding like ours in a while. And we kinda have alot of fun little details that I'm really excited about!
I'm a good writer. Which puts me ahead of 95% of the human race. :P It's just natural for me to tell stories--and blab about weddings--and I believe I can write in an engaging, fantastically splendiferous manner. *toots horn*
I have a unique story and perspective to share. "Youngish" bride, rural setting, older encore groom, extremely tight budget, friendors and DIY galore, etc.. However, I'm definitely not out to snag The Coolest Wedding award. One of the things that makes me unique is that I don't like most wedding stuff, so I can see that playing into my approach.
Of course, the uniqueness of the wedding elements will be determined after an engagement. Sigh. My writing cart wants to get ahead of my horse!
Hang in there Minutiae :) Start a blog now! I'd love to read it.
I can tell you why I would NOT make a good Blogger Bee :) -- I don't have the dedication to actually post! I'd get really excited, post half a dozen times, and then I would disappear, hehe. And then like three months later, I'd come back and be like, "Oh yeah. Remember me? Sorry to flake! Here's some pictures."
hehehe...
I do like seeing bloggers who are 'like' me though - small budgets, not super girly/frilly, non traditional, interracial couples, distance couples or distance planning...
yep.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be a bee.
1. I am having a rockin New Years Eve wedding.
2. I am planning on around 200, with a budget of $6,000. AND I am under budget :)
3. I work in events at a hotel, so I learn a lot about other weddings, since we do about 10 per year.
Ha, DDW! That's so funny. I'd love to be a bee, but I don't know if I can get over writing too formally. I was an english major with an emphesis in creative writing, but for some reason all the blog posts I write are super formal... which is strange, because I'm not formal at ALL. I need to loosen up!
Cause the Hive needs a current European Bee! (I'm sure there's European Bees out there.... I'm sure of it!)
And my reception will have cake and Pimms and is going to be on the side of the Thames :)
I'd LOVE to be a bee!! :)
1. I'm young..21 years old
2. I'm doing lots of DIY
3. Trying to keep at under $10k for about 200 people.
Yes, you ladies should apply! You all sound like you have unique stories to tell :)
HAHA! daydreamwanderer I'm with you. I have a hard enough time keeping up with just reading all the blogs and posting on my own when I remember to. Plus I'm blown away by all the DIY and computer skillz these ladies have - I could never pull that stuff off.
@ littlemissmoo - Your wedding sounds to die for. I wish they sold Pimms over here. I jump for joy everytime I come across Birds custard in a US market - people looks at me funny. LOL
@KMSull: I am like you! I majored in English in college, and now teach high school English, so I have a hard time being anything but formal in my writing. I was a little concerned about this when I first started blogging - I even tried to incorporate some "webspeak" into my posts - but it's just not me. There are a lot of readers out there, and not everyone wants to read about lolz and noms! Just be yourself - the 'Bee is looking for all types of bloggers!
@pudding- English major unite! When I "talk" on the boards, I'm totally fine. Hip with the slang, or whatever, but then I go into I guess "real writing" mode and FREEZE! I took an autobiography class that was a TON of fun and my teacher loved me (I was the youngest in there by at least 6 years) but blogs seem to make me more formal.
@KMSull - Just be yourself! Formal writing is a good thing - it's not something to be ashamed of! I would give you an A+ if you were in my class! :P
pudding - Aw thanks! I've started my blog, kinda. Trying to figure out how to make it more "me"!
KMSull & pudding - Me too! I was a Journalism major with a minor in English. Boards like this, chat rooms and a personal blog where I can write in a speaking voice tend to help me a little more. I write out in a conversational tone then I go back to double check for typos but I don't allow myself to alter words like "y'all" and "Dayum", etc.
Um, 'cause I'm awesome - DUH!
...just kidding! I dunno, I'm really into blogging and have been for years (I started my first blog in like...8th grade, haha - before people really even knew what a blog was!) I dunno if my writing style really fits with how most of the bees write, but I'll definitely be applying!
@LittleOctopus: I had one, but since he won't propose for another couple of months I've put it under lock and key. At least until after I finish my last semester of undergrad, haha. :)
Wow, it's great to see there are so many English majors! I'm a Professional Writing major with a Creative Writing minor. Have you journaled before, KM? It may help you loosen up on your blogs!
Hooray for the English/Writing majors! I was Comparative Literature and History. Pudding, I always love your formal tone.
I hope you ladies all apply! KM, I didn't know you were blogging yet! I'll have to check it out. :)
From the minute I found weddingbee I knew I wanted to be a blogger. I'm very hands on with the wedding planning and am DIYing almost everything, including the cake (I just can't imagine giving up the control :) ) Ooo and I'm very honest and sometimes funny. I would die if I could keep my Miss Cake name (it fits me perfectly cause that's what I do for a living)
Ha ha ha ha spaniel, NO ONE knows the address! it's a secret! I'm sure you could figure it out, but it would take some detective work!
KMSull - I think I found it... was the last post on Friday, January 8, 2010?
I'd be a great bee beecause (heehee!):
- My blog has it's own voice (IMO at least!)
- I'm a bride on a budget like so many are lately
- I'm trying my hardest to incorporate FI and my kids in the wedding planning (second wedding for both of us)
- I'm not the best DIY'er, but I keep on trying to be and I enjoy sharing my ideas
- I'm not an English major, or even the best writer, but I have a lot of fun doing it!
KMSull, I think you started a challenge. I just found it too, and I love it. You're a witty girl!
NOPE! Close, though. Super, super close. I wonder if it's including the one I have saved that I started on the 9th. Guess I'm not as clever as I though :(
Okay, yes. The last one was on the 8th, since the one I was workign on was from the 9th. oops. Now I just feel silly.
I see that you just found the privacy settings in Blogger. :-)
Ok sorry to stalk you... I'll stop now.
Ah ha ha ha ha ha! Yeah, I forgot that I had forgotten to hide that one on my profile. Bummer. Well, now that you've seen it, I'd love for you to PM me some feedback, please! If you have time!
I think that I'd be a great Bee because I'm a totally neurotic over-researching budget crazy nut. I haven't posted too much about wedding stuff on my blog yet because we haven't made many decisions, but I am not one of those "buy the first thing you see because you love it" people. I research every option, make endless pro/con lists, and always make sure I am getting the absolute best deal for whatever it is I'm doing. I love love LOVE the bee posts currently, but my favorite ones are less "look at this" and more "this is how I did/found/made/decided this."
Wedding planning is SUPER overwhelming, especially for girls who have not been dreaming about their wedding for 10 years! I think that new readers would really appreciate seeing the process of how a wedding comes together with resource links for how I found my venue, my photogher, etc. My FI always says that he lets me take care of the planning (for pretty much everything, not just wedding) because he is confident that once I've made a decision we are getting the absolute best at the lowest price and no stone has been left unturned. Going through that process can seem daunting for people who aren't used to approaching life like that, but I think that I have really good ways to break down research into manageable bits to make sure you're covering all necessary options!
Plus, I'm a lawyer so when I want to, I have mad editing skillz. ;)
Corgi, I've thought you'd make a great bee since I first started on the boards!
@English Majors - me too and English teacher. The hard part for me is feeling guilty when I don't write properly or use too many ellipses or dashes or smiley faces.
@Pudding - I can't use webspeak either. I don't know why! Sometimes I think it, but I just can't type it. It's like an English major disease.
hmmm i want to play...
I'd be the next great bee because I am
Eek, I don't know if I can compare to some of you ladies, but I'll give it a shot!
-I'm young (am 20 now, 21 for the wedding)
-I'm planning my wedding long distance and am in a long distance relationship, but we've been dating for over 6 years - Definitely high school sweethearts!
-I've got a $7,000 budget for a wedding with 300 guests
-I love DIY projects and being crafty, and I write tutorials that would allow anyone to make their own
-I'm from Kansas - There aren't any bees from around my part of the country
-At the end of the day, we just want to be married! We always try to remember to keep the focus on our marriage rather than our wedding
