I admit, I am one of those ambitious brides who is making all of her invitations by hand. I actually enjoyed doing it, too! They’re really nothing spectacular, but I think that they look nice and clean. (Pictures to come at a later time!)
Before I even started making the invitations, I decided that every good invitation [...]

Rehersal Dinner Woes
Posted in Wedding, tagged rehersal dinner on March 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Given the numerous allergies in my family, picking a place to have our rehearsal dinner has been a challenge. Mr. Bean’s parents graciously offered to pay for the dinner, so we’ve been trying to get things organized in advance. First off, we wanted to have the dinner at the golf club my parents belong to as a [...]
Cakes!

When it came time for us to look for a cake, I was really excited, for cakes are really pretty. So I started looking for pictures on the Internet and found delights such as:
Next was to find a bakery in Calgary that was able to make such cakes with these criteria:
1. Look pretty like [...]
Communion or not?
Posted in Wedding, tagged ceremony, communion on March 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Something Mr. Bean and I have been debating since we got engaged was whether or not to have communion in our ceremony. We’re both practicing Anglicans and have been going to church for our entire lives, so the symbolism of partaking in communion would be very significant. However, there are a few points that make having communion less favourable.
Pros
Cons
Very symbolic – inviting [...]

Mr. Bean and I have been taking ballroom dancing lessons at the university ballroom dancing club since September and they are a TON of fun! (Mr. Bean even has fun!) No awkward junior high dancing for us!
Now comes the hard part – what dance to do as our first dance? Neither of us have a [...]
Hair Ideas!

Instead of doing my homework for school, I’m doing homework of a different variety – look for pictures of what I want my hair to look like!
First off, I’m going to have shoulder length (ish) hair by August, which means that a lot of crazy updos won’t be possible. I would like to have my [...]

When I was in Crete last May, there was a sweet shoe store in Chania called Migato, where I got my token pair of “European Holiday shoes”. They even have some shoes that might work as the pair I bought is easily wide enough for my feet and they look really cute, too! (Look at the red ones):
These look like they [...]
Parental Requests and Expectations

When Mr. Bean and I got engaged, my parents were quite pleased. (They knew it was coming as Mr. Bean won brownie points by asking permission from my dad first!) However, Mama Bean did have a few requests to make us on our big day:
That we were not allowed to elope – it’s going to [...]
Shoes Part 1.
Posted in Wedding, tagged Shoes on March 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’m having some shoe angst. I’m not quite a shoeaholic, but I quite enjoy buying and wearing them. Unfortunately, I have very wide, short feet with high arches so most shoes don’t like or don’t fit me very well. When is comes to wedding shoes, I’m really not sure what to do. Especially since I am 5′11″ [...]
Welcome!

Welcome to my all things wedding related blog! I always find that the first post is the most awkward, so I thought that I would start by introducing myself a little!
My name is Christine, but my family and close friends call be Bean. I will probably refer to myself as Miss Bean, as is done [...]
