Weddingbee boards
No, it doesn't bother me. After all the planning is done, sometimes the last thing you want to do is talk about your wedding. Sometimes life gets in the way - buying houses, having babies, losing jobs, etc. At the end of the day, blogging is a volunteer job, and there's no guarantee that the people who were turned down wouldn't do the same.
I'm not a blogger but I'm quite a private person so I would not have posted too much details/pics of my wedding on here after the event. I guess it's a personal choice.
I've stopped following the blog portion of this website because I become interested in certain bees posts/weddings- and the bees I'm interested in seem to dissapear.
Does it upset me? Not at all, I just briefly skim the first page for recaps now.
At this time, it's not a requirement for application to share your wedding recaps, it's just something that many of the bees do. Think about your life after you get married: you might be buying a house, moving, changing jobs, having babies, etc. It's busy! I definitely sympathize with the bees who can't find time to recap, but I do admit that it's quite disappointing for me, especially for some of my favorites - I feel like I've been a part of their planning and never got to see how their ideas turned out in real life!
Edit: I also wanted to add that if there is a bee you're looking forward to hearing from, send her a message! I'm sure she would be happy to know she is missed. Also, some bees have expressed diappointment with comments on their recap posts (they often get far fewer comments than "planning" posts), so if you love what you see, please comment and say so!
Have you been a long time lurker or blog reader?
Sometimes they do pop in eventually and re-cap!
If you love the thrill of watching the process then seeing the end result- we usually have tons of ladies on the Boards who we get to know like family and then always come through with a re-cap :)
I like reading bloggers but I don't subscribe to their threads! It's just nice to read what they have written - there are always other authors to read if they do not post again :)
I agree with some of the other ladies, message the bee that you are missing! Also realize that sometimes it takes a really long time for some ladies to get their photos back from their photographer. Sometimes it can take as long as three to six months to get them back and then they still have to organize the pictures and events and start to write recaps and that is a lengthy process all on its own. Plus a lot of ladies experience a lot more than just getting married when the big day passes. They also can be moving, getting a new job, etc. I have seen bees come back after a couple of years. I know it stinks, but sometimes life just gets in the ways of blogging.
So please shoot them a message, it will make them feel loved and maybe they can offer you a reason as to why or even tell you when they are coming back!
I hadn't thought of messaging my missed bees!
I always thought blogging for the BEE meant recaps...it just seemed so understood, you took me this far please don't drop me!
@Eva Peron:thanks so much I think I will start up more with the boards!
@doily:, @kirabee:I hadn't thought of messaging my missed bees! Great suggestion.

I'm super bummed about Giraffe!
@WILLIAKELLLB: I know Giraffe has been waiting for her pictures to come back - don't give up on the blog yet, because there are lots of GORGEOUS recaps to come! :)
@jaguar:I LOVED YOUR RECAPS!! and thanks for the news on Giraffe
@WILLIAKELLLB: Thanks so much! Will let Mrs. G know that you're keen to see hers too, I know Bees always love hearing about people wanting them back. :) x
I don't read the blogs, ever. I lie, I have read one or two entries. But, nope doesn't bother me! haha.

Is it just me or is anyone else almost personally offended when a bee doesn't finish?!
On one hand I feel like (esp the ones that blog up until and never come back and recap) I was invited to a friends wedding and then bumped at last minute for space!
Also, I wonder about all of the fabulous ladies that applied for Bee-hood in that particular generation that were passed over. It seems so unfair to them!
I know Bee blogging is vouluntary, but it still kind of hurts my feelings when they don't come back :(
