For those of you who don’t know, I have a wedding blogging alter ego by the name of Miss Candy Corn at the popular wedding website, Weddingbee.com. Weddingbee has introduced me to a group of amazing women, one of whom is the lovely Miss Thimble (now Mrs. Thimble), who grew up nearby in the Bucks County area. Her and I shared mutual “bee crushes” before meeting at her bridal shower, which she was kind enough to have me photograph.

Thimble’s family and friends were as sweet as can be and threw a gorgeous shower with delicious food, piles of perfectly-wrapped presents and gracious flower arrangements galore. Thimble’s bridesmaids surprised her by having her close friend on the West Coast attend the shower via Skype. It was cute watching Thimble’s friend chuckle on a nearby monitor while the bride-to-be unwrapped gifts and played shower games (which involved chewing lots and lots of different-flavored gum).

I am so grateful for having Weddingbee introduce me to such a wonderful group of gals, including the lovely Mrs. Thimble, who couldn’t have been a sweeter hostess. Next up, a boudoir shoot with the bride-to-be herself!

I couldn’t get over how gorgeous the bride’s wedding colors were—the rusts and reds were incredibly sophisticated and really lit up the room. The bride’s group of girlfriends couldn’t have been nicer—it was obvious how much they cared for her from all of the personalized touches. Delicious food was devoured (I was lucky enough to have some drool-worthy cannoli), embarrassing games were played and ridiculous wrapping paper hats were worn. All in all, it was a fun afternoon with friends and family sharing stories and well-wishes for the future.

Bethany and Chris practiced tying the knot on the eve of their wedding with family and friends at the Cescaphe Ballroom in Philadelphia, followed by a lovely rehearsal dinner in Chinatown at the Imperial Inn. They were incredibly sweet and included me in their rehearsal dinner festivities, where I enjoyed a delicious banquet-style meal of endless yummy food.

If you guys are reading, I heart you in a big way!! Anyone with an R2D2 groom’s cake is a lifetime pal of mine. Congratulations on being newlyweds!
