    Miss Bubbles    February 3, 2010  

    Just wondering if any of you remember who the first Bee blogger was you began following, either purposefully or by accident. Be it the result of a random google search, the first blog on the page the day you found weddingbee, etc.

    Do you remember "your first Bee"?

    Are there any Bees who you followed through & through or backtracked through all their posts?

    Do you have a Bee you can relate to the most? (*please do not say anything negative or Bee-bash!*)

    I was really into Mrs. Mouse and Mrs. Sprinkle when I first started reading the 'Bee. They were both in the middle of their recaps and I really liked their taste and aesthetic. They are the two bees whose personal style is closest to mine, I think.

    Miss Kitten 100% inspired my cake. Her inspiration was ideal for my wedding!

    My friend gave me a list of blogs the day I got engaged that I should add to my feed reader.  Cupcake was the blogger whose wedding I quickly became fascinated with, I love her style!

    Miss Oyster started blogging the same week I started reading Wedding Bee.  I really enjoy her posts.  I also enjoy that she is a bit older than most of the Bees and closer to my age.  (I'm in my early 30's.)

    That said, I seriously love reading all of the Bees's posts.  I get so excited when one of their weddings happen and I'm sad when they write their final posts.  I feel like such a dork, getting all emotional about girls I've never met.  Please tell me I'm not the only one!

    Jasmine! But she was already an archived Bee by then. :) The first Bees I followed were Labrador and Bruschetta.

    @lilybay - I'm a reader bee in her 30s too, so I know exactly what you mean. All the current bees are younger.

    I think scissors was the first one I actually started following. Though I definitely have to give shout outs to cola, cowboyboot, cherry pie, socks, and oh gosh there are definitely more but I'm failing at memory atm!

    Mrs. Dolphin started right when I started reading, so I guess she was my first. I'm loving Miss Cardigan right now - her style is similar to mine (what we've seen so far, anyway). I went back and read Mrs. FroYo, Mrs. Pencils, Mrs. Doxie...and probably some others that I'm blanking on now.

    Mrs. Piglet - she got me in with her BM dresses! they're the same color as mine! :) (plus she's a Korean bride, so i could relate!)

    and Mrs. Swan - her recaps were so ALIVE i loved reading every entry! :)

    but since then ive kept up with scissors (can't wait for recaps), pencils (loved her thorough recaps w pics for everything to boot!), and CARDIGAN (my fave thus far - just cuz i knew her on the boards for so long :P)

     

    yay for bees mrs/miss bees alike :)

    Miss Paisley's post about DIY Letterpress b/c I was trying to do it myself (and have since successfully completed my invites!) After that I realized it was lots of blogs although much before that I had looked around the classifieds for a dress not realizing the blog portion...there's so much to the site for newbees!

    Mouse & Sprinkles were the reason I started reading.

    I think I caught some of Mrs. Pug's re-caps.  Then the 'bee kept popping up in my wedding related google searches, and was constantly recommended in my google reader.  I don't know what took me so long to give in!

    I don't actually "follow" any bees, and I love to read recent posts from all the bees. I relate more to individual topics or single posts than to bees overall, I think. The bees who stick out to me are Hot Wings (probably because of the school posts), Seahorse (because she's sort of a non-bride bride like me) and Cardigan (because I remember her from the boards). I love Champagne's and Cowboy Boot's recaps, too. If I could have my dream wedding no holds barred, it'd be a winter lodge/Christmas feel, so that's probably why.

    I am glad that we have such a diverse group of bees through the ages because i think there is definitely something for everyone!

    I remember the first post I found was from Ladybug because I was googling "peony rubber stamp."  I was completely sucked in and read all of her posts in one day.   

    At that point I was addicted and since then I have followed Candy Corn, Fro Yo and Pug most closely.

    I started reading during the time of Mascara and Gloss, and I believe Mouse was fairly new at that point. Miss Mouse was one that I followed a lot, as well as Glass and Mascara.

    I also need to apparently read Mrs. Cowboy Boot's archives...I've noticed that she gets mentioned and referenced to a lot...by the bees and the boards!

    Cherry Pie's blog was the one that got me hooked, and then I found Avocado, Sea Breeze and Dumpling.  It was so cool to see wedding planning from such different perspectives.  And now I follow the latter 3's mom blogs.

    I don't really remember the first but I am pretty sure that right when I found the 'bee Mrs. Bunny had posted and I took interest because she was from Columbus... so I read all her archives :)

    Mrs. Powderpuff was the first Bee I read all of...She had written her last post right around time time I started reading.  Then I saw she had a Michigan wedding, so I read every bit of it.  Pretty sure I spent half a day at work last summer reading all of her archives.  It's been downhill ever since and have now read the entire archives of many a bee.

    I came across weddingbee by accident, saw one of Mrs. Cupcake's recaps, and was hooked. I also loved bruschetta (miss her!!) and champagne, and more recently, pug! She is hysterical.

    I have no idea who took my Bee virginity :) But the first Bee I followed from post #1 to current was Mrs. Pineapple. She was the first Pittsburgh-based Bee I came across, and I was really interested in reading a local Bee.

    Mrs Lab was the first I started following just because she got married in Savannah - where my hubs and I had our destination wedding.  Outside of the Savannah stuff, we are polar opposites though... I didn't share any of her tastes but it was fun to see Savannah landmarks in her posts.  And I thank her for helping me find Wedding Bee!  Mrs Pug has been my favorite blogger to follow... agree with @Moose1209 that she's hilarious.  :)  I also liked the look of Mrs Cowboy Boot's wedding and enjoyed Mrs Swan's tone in all of her writing.  I'm sure there are a ton more (Hamster, Poodle, FroYo, Buttons, Lace, etc.) that always have me on the edge of my seat.

    My first was from way back, Mrs. Shortcake! She had already been archived at that point, but her wedding was lovely. Also, Mrs Pineapple. I found the site because of her DIY hair flower tutorial.

    One of the first Bees I followed was Scissors. Because she became a Bee around the time when i started becoming more interested in the boards and I was here when she got her Bee status.

    I believe I found Weddingbee through Mrs. Champagne but I was hooked pretty quickly on reading pretty much every single bee post. I can't think of many bees that I'm uninterested in reading or whose posts I tend to skip over. I love them all!

    I'm in the Scissors camp! I think we may have been saracastic sisters in a previous life. I think I was hooked when she tried on her wedding dress and wrote "I could hardly wait to put that f*cker on!!!!". I thought to myself, finally, another bride who swears like a sailor! LOL!
