Mrs. Butterfly here.

I’ve decided to part with my veil.  As much as I loved my veil and the way it made me look in pictures, I wore it only for the ceremony (a grand total of 30 minutes).  Its a two layer, ivory veil with ivory trimming along the bottom.  It’s been tailored so that the two layers are evenly spaced apart throughout the entire bottom.  Kinda hard to explain….but either way, it looks awesome.

That’s the only picture that I have right now which shows the veil on me.  I can find some more pictures later if anyone is interested.

Anyway, if you want it, please just comment and tell me when your wedding is so that I can ship it out on time.  I will be choosing a winner randomly! The deadline is this Sunday, February 4th, at midnight.  Good luck!!

So MTV has a new show, Engaged & Underage.   Now, I dont usually watch MTV, but I think I may have to watch this show for an episode or two, just to see what its all about. 

Engaged & Underage

Series premieres 1/22/07 at 9:30pm. Airs Mondays at 9:30pm. Ends 3/12/07.
(30 min.)

Engaged & Underage is a half-hour verite documentary series. In each episode, we follow a young couple, between the ages of 18 and 21, during the final weeks of their engagement, leading up to a wedding (which may or may not be called off). In addition to showing all the drama, tension, and humor inherent in the days before a big event, Engaged & Underage also portrays a young couple as they take their first steps towards adulthood, and begin to define themselves as people outside the confines of their parents and home life, young people who feel they are ready to start homes and families of their own.

This show really brings to light a controversial question:  Can you be too young to get married? 

For those of you who asked about the petal cones, here is the website where I got the directions.

I used the 8.5″ x11″ paper template, but cut off the bottom square area to make the cones.  I got the paper and the ribbons from Kate’s Paperie.  You will need a paper cutter, a self-healing mat, and some adhesive.  I used my trusty ATG tape gun (recycled from making my invitations).

The only difficult part is trying to glue the cone into place, while keeping the tip of the cone in a perfect point.  I found it helpful to first roll the paper into a cone shape.  Even though making 20 of these took me several hours, they were totally worth it for that one single photograph of us walking down the aisle, being showered in petals. 

I am so glad Mrs. Bee talked me into making it. 

And the rest….

What a cutie!

 
I have to explain this picture – this is my husband panicking because the best man is outside calling him and saying that he couldn’t find the limo.  I love how you can see it in his face.  hahahah. 

And the man who stole every girls heart at the wedding. 

The ceremony….

Paebaek (Tea Ceremony)

I love this picture.  Look how much he’s concentrating on sticking on the dots.

Just the two of us….

When he first saw me….

The Crew…

Kissing….

Details…

Ah….the painstaking hours that I spent on making these cones.  It was so worth it!

This last picture is of the branches right next to the alter area.  The florist glued on the orchids individually to the branches. 

Stay tuned for part 3!

 Sorry this is sooooo late!!!  I have been combing through all of my photos to find the ones I wanted to share with the Weddingbee world vs. which ones to send to friends vs. which ones to put in my album.  Phew!  I had no idea that this would be such hard work!  Anyway, here they are!!!

And, a closeup of my hair from the back.
