    Hey bees, I am not going to link to her personal site right now in an attempt to not add to the madness, but Mrs. Avo has gotten a lot of nasty things said about her and Suavocado and their marriage over the last two days. I thought it might be nice if we could give her something nice to look at here while she sorts out the vitriol over there.

    So Mrs. Avo, I just wanted to say that as a reader of both your writing on Weddingbee and on your personal site, I am impressed, astounded, jealous of, and ever-so-slightly intimidated by your self-confidence, capability as a planner, capability as a photographer, your impeccable taste, your appreciation for awesome salads, your dedication to your health, your dedication to your faith, and the fact that you managed to snag a husband who I'm sure has a sexy accent. I wish you all the best in your marriage, your future motherhood, and your photography business. Thank you for sharing your wedding and your life with us -- it is inspiring.

    ((hugs))

    Ok, bees, do that thing you do. :) I know I can count on our positive community.

    (As a disclaimer, let's not bring up the issues that are being discussed on her site right now. If you want to do that, go there. Please just let this thread be positive and uplifting.)

    That's actually the point.. I didn't want people talking about her site and its current issues here, just about how they appreciate Mrs. Avocado in whatever capacity they are familiar with her. It's ok if all you know is her work on WB.

    Ooh, you want us to post here, gotcha!

    Mrs. Avocado, no matter what is going on in your life.  You can be sure that you have my support.  Your posts were very inspiring and helpful for me when planning my wedding, and I love your poise and your decdication to making your wedding reflective of you and your values.  I hope that whatever is going on gets resolved sooner rather than later.  *hugs*

    Miss Avocado is a darling bee and a smart, articulate woman with a great head on her shoulders. She's got a supportive husband who cares about her wellbeing, and the two of them are continually working to better their lives and relationship so that they'll have a successful and happy marriage forever. They're totally awesome rolemodels for other couples. I love her blog! I wish mine was more like hers (mine is um... practically non-existant ever since I started posting for WB!!).

    I LOVE Mrs. Avocado's blog. Her blog is the ONLY one that I read because I am so encouraged by her dedication to her faith.

    Mrs. Avocado...Just remember that if you are being attacked, it is because you are doing great things for God. He notices all that you do and loves you regardless of what anyone else says. Thanks for being such a great witness to others!!!

    Mrs. Avocado is SUCH an inspiring woman. I swoon over her wedding photos and great inspiration constantly, and I'm stealing so many of her ideas for my own wedding (vintage suitcases for pictures, cake buffet, etc). I fell in love with her blog before she was a bee and was so excited to see her on here.

    Whenever I'm frustrated or not having a very good day, weddingbee is definitely the place to come to. Mrs. A: Just remember that if others are bringing you down, it's because they have nothing better to do and are only trying to bring you down because that's where they are--misery loves company. Don't let them get to you. Surround yourself with positive bees. *hugs*

    I commend Mrs Avocado for having the courage and confidence to blog about her life and her relationship. No one is going to agree 100% all the time and every relationship is different. If people disagree with her, they should keep their comments to themselves... I don't understand why people post negative things to those they don't even know. If family members or friends felt the same way - those would be the people to say something, privately - not nameless, faceless cowards.

    I'm so sorry for all the negativity you've had thrown your way the past few days! Keep your chin up and don't let the naysayers keep you from sharing your heart.

    Love you!

    Avo, you are such an amazing woman and I admire both you and your marriage.  I love reading your blog and I can only hope that I'll be able to blog after this wedding process with the same consistency, honesty and love that pours out in your posts.  Remember for every negative commenter there are at least 100 that only have love and encouragement for you.

    Hey, Sweet Pea - you make me rethink many of my assumptions about many things, and I'm proud to be able to call you a fellow bee.  When I grow up, I want to have my head on as straight as yours.

    Your parents did a great job.  You can tell them I said so.

    Mrs. Avocado, you must be doing something right. I appreciate your honesty, your perspective, and the fact that you are consistently pushing your readers to better themselves. I commend you and Suavocado for challenging one another in personal, professional and spiritual growth, even when the world doesn't understand. Take a deep breath, kiss your handsome husband, and know that if you settled for the standards the world sets, you would not be as happy or as healthy in your marriage. If more couples were as open, honest, and as genuinely concerned about one another as you two are, the world would look very different. It would be more beautiful. It would be better. You're on the right track. You go girl.

    Mrs. Avo, I don't read your personal blog, but I have gone through your Wedding blog. :) I came onboard the Weddingbee train after your wedding so I missed it in action but have gone back and read and enjoyed.  As everyone has said, keep your chin up, I think you are an amazing writer and great person. Negative comments are by people who are jealous, close-minded or just don't plain understand what is being talked about. So, go about your business and keep doing what you do best my dear! :)

    I appreciate a blogger that shares true honesty. . .especially in marriage. I know that most of us here are independent, strong women who are entering/entered into marriage knowing and expecting that we would be changed by the experience. I admire your ability to communicate those changes and share with the world while staying strong in your marriage and beliefs.

Now that I'm getting more seriously into my wedding planning, I've used a lot of your photos as inpiration photos for my wedding. Don't let mean people get you down. You're awesome!! *hugs*

    Mrs. Avocado, I read your personal blog on a regular basis but im one of those who never comments. But i think this is a good enough reason to say something.

    Just like the ladies above, i would like to tell you that i truly admire you. You are a role model for me. You are the only blogger that i know of that has so much passion for what you do. You stay true to your word. I would like to have your courage and dedication. I honestly do.  It is none of my business how you and your husband live your lives. I think you and mr. suavocado will be beyond succesful in your future. Your marriage is based on rules, dedication, sacrifice but most of all, LOVE. Who can have the guts to judge your husband for caring for you? for wanting to never be a minute without you.

    You two are an inspiring couple. The dedication to your faith is incredible. I feel blessed to be able to read your blog and the urge that i get to be a better wife, mother, daughter and sister when i read your blogs.

     

    Thank you, Mrs Avocado!

    I always love your posts and I love looking at your blogs, Mrs. Avocado. You're truly an inspiration and though I joined after you got married (I think), I still like seeing your comments around the blogs! We all have our own beliefs and I'm proud that you will stand up for your own. You are totally awesome!

    I think Mrs. Avo is sooo brave for posting so honestly and openly about her life.  It's a shame that some people take that openness as an invitation to completely crush it to pieces. 

     

    Mrs. Avo, I always read your personal blog, and even if I don't always comment I've always admired you, and your marriage.

    Oh no! I'm sorry people are being snarky and bringing you down. I don't know what's going on in your personal life, but God always gives us challenges and this is yours I presume! I'm sure you will prevail. I've always thought your responses and posts were quite thought-provoking and classy!

    I think it's unfortunate people are being 'haters' about things in your life. If you have nothing nice to say....

    Mrs. Avocado your posts are so honest & full of real emotion. You are a terrific writer! In an online world full of BS, you're real. It takes a lot of courage to post so openly.

    Seriously... disregard those trolls. They obviously have something missing in their own life, so they feel the need to dissect yours. Those people make me sick.

    Keep doing what you're doing & don't fret too much over this! We love you!

    Mrs Avocado, I started reading Weddingbee right before your wedding and loved your posts. You are so talented with your words and photographs and so confident in who you are and so brave to share that with a sometimes uncaring world. I can tell how much love you have for your friends and family and no one should waste their time trying to cut you down. Chin up, and stay cool, because you're so beyond all that. I only need to read one post to know what an amazing woman you are -- I can only imagine you're better in person.

    Ok, after finding the post myself (totally forgot I linked to it a loooong time ago in my days of fervent blog-reading) and checking up, all I can say, is wow. People TiCK ME OFF.

    There are no words for the evil that spews out of peoples' hating mouths when they can hide behind the "anonymous" button of commentary.

    If you don't like/agree/want to read her blog, DON'T read it! Don't read it, then trash her comments with awful hate-post! I mean, how immature is that?! Who are these people anwyays, getting up on their high horses acting like they're better than her anyways? Or better than anyone else for their matter?

    Some people are miserable and like to bring the world down with them. Don't let them bring you down, Mrs. Avocado! They have nobody to blame but themselves and feel the need to belittle others in their quest to feel like a half decent person.

    I'm sorry but how cruel do you have to be to say stuff like that to another happy and sweet human being? GEEZ louise. Sorry you have to deal with this monkey poop, Avo!

    Mrs. Avo,

    You are an inspiration to myself and my marriage. We come from different religious beliefs, but very similar upbringings and core values, and I think it's awesome that you are brave enough to share your life with the world. Don't let others bring you down over things they do not understand. Just because something is unfamiliar to people, they are often quick to judge it as wrong. I am proud of you for contuing to stand your ground, and I will be cheering you all the way!
