Weddingbee boards
Lol, I blab about it all the time! I seriously can't help myself. But my sis in law is the only one who comments on stuff and only on the blog- she doesn't come into the boards much at all.
I have a friend who just got engaged. I haven't told her about the site yet but that's because she is working and taking 6 classes and I don't want her to be insanely busy!
yes. No one knows I'm on here except my husband. I don't even think my mom knows i'm on here. I like it that way.
@ pretzel - my best friend knows I come on here, but I don't elaborate on the things we talk about. I think she thinks I come on here and read stories or something, I have no idea lol.
@ MissAsB - yeah, if she's already super-busy, you wouldn't want to turn her into a WB addict! She'd become totally unproductive hehehe :)
@ HoneyBear - glad to know it!
I dont tell anyone mine and FHs secret just simply because I like the fact that the hive gives advice wether its family or wedding related, and sometimes you really need the Third party advice. Mind you it wouldnt bother me if anyone of my friends joined, none are getting married tho. Im the first :)
I have a good friend who just got engaged, and I tried to tell her about WB back when we were both in the giddy 'omg we're going to get engaged sooooooooon!' phase... but she ignored all efforts I made to talk to her about wedding plans. I was really hurt by that, so I stopped. Now part of me doesn't want her to have the resources I have here. Only part of me though. :(
I figure now that she's formally engaged, I'll try once more to share ideas with her, and if she isn't on board, that's her loss - I have you guys, afterall!
I vent A LOT on here too, I would hate it if my friends were on here!! I try to hide it, but everytime I get to talking to them about it & instead of just saying "Wedding Forum", I call it "Weddingbee Forum", Haha!!! I can't get away from it. But I def. like this being my own little home away from home :)
I almost told some friends (that are not close friends) that are engaged about it but I thought I better not.. lol. If they find it that is great but I don't want them to know I am on here. lol
Yes I hide it. I say nothing, but my MOH did find some of my posts. I don't worry about it now b/c i'm not getting married anymoer, but I don't know that my friends would necessarily appreciate my super duper honest opinion and sometimes I referecne personal situations for the hive. They may not appreciate being the one I'm mentioning. But that's life I guess!
I haven't told my family, but my friends know. I have some family drama that I don't want to make worse by bringing them here.
none of my friends know i'm on here, either. my fiance does, though- but i am hoping (and trusting) that he doesn't log on to see what i write, since i had posted a photo of my dress here.
it's funny- about a week ago i had written regarding my dress experinece. he asked if he could read it, since he wanted to know what i was going through and how i was feeling. there were no suprises- he knew it all anyways, but it was sweet. i think he's trying to get used to the fact that i write and chat with all of you, people i don't know...but somehow it all works great and is fun. this is such a wonderful forum.
I talk about my "wedding boards" all the time - but HOPE AND PRAY they don't come looking because I have "legally married" in my profile...(which I am) but no one IRL knows! (well, my parents, his mom and my MOH/her husband do...)
I don't hide it but refers to it as "a wedding forum". If people ask I tell them, though.
Everyone knows I'm part of a wedding forum but I don't tell anybody which one. I use this as a place to be honest and vent about BM's, FI (sometimes!), FIL's etc.
Last night FI wanted to know what site I was on so he could see what people posted about our e-pics...I didn't tell him. I said he has his own thing and this is mine. I have nothing to hide, I just want something of my own where I'm not asked questions or judged. I am not on his motorcycle or snowmobile forum so he can respect that I don't want him on mine!
yeah sort of 
... i told my family about it ( and they don't "get it" ) and only have 1 friend that is close to becoming engaged, and with her i've talked about WB but only vaguely. But other than that its my little secret.
Well, my good friend is on here (hi saranightly!) but no one else I know actively uses the site. However, I've forwarded a few pages or ideas to friends before, and I talk about it with DH. Mostly because you ladies have a lot of interesting things to say, and such good feedback. He doesn't think it's weird, which surprises me, b/c he's not much of an internet guy - i mean, he loves it, but doesn't use it to reach out to people besides family.. More like explore hobbies, look up information, yadda yadda. I have also mentioned to my photographer that I was on here, and he thanked me for the web traffic to his blog, haha.
I have never ever ever mentioned it to a friend! I do have a couple of friends that either just got married or are in the process and while it may beneficial, I feel like its my little secret... that's so wrong of me! But, in my own defense, if they ask me a question I don't know, I have come here to get some advice and passed it along. So they are reaping the benefits, in a way.
I totally like to hide it from my firends and relatives.. selfish of me? maybe.. but just like many other girls on here I really want it to be my private life.. They dont have to know what I do... and if they find out about it on their own.. let it be.. its not coming from my mouth.. haha
haha i dont want them to know about this website.. then they would know about my secret wedding LOL
I haven't told anyone but my BF. I'm still officially "waiting" and some of my friends don't understand why I would look at wedding stuff before I'm officially engaged. It's nice to have a place that is welcoming of waiting bees!
I made that mistake. I know you girls hate when people change their username, but I just had to! I was posting private, very honest things and I appreciated that they were completely anonymous! I did refer a friend to the site and I immediately thought "Ohhhh CRAP". Oh well, lesson learned....
Nope. lol. Several of my friends know I'm on here, as well as some co-workers. Doesn't really bother me. I've willingly shared that I use this board... I love it! I just sent one of my co-workers a link to the babies board since she is expecting :)
lol this is my 1000th post, how appropriate!
I don't tell my friends--I want to vent on here in peace.
I don't share this little haven with anyone but my FI. I was, and in some ways still am, a reluctant bride (not the marrying my man part, just the planning a big wedding part) and was totally resistant to all things wedding but you know, when you're planning a wedding for 200 people, you need some support! It's really great to be able to come here and get inspired and learn how to do DIY projects and in general just have a place to talk about all things wedding.
Yeah, I don't tell my friends about Wedding Bee, and its completely for selfish reasons ;) I like to vent sometimes, and I don't want anyone to figure out who I am in real life. This place is sort of my wedding sanctuary.
Quite the opposite actually. Most of my friends got married before any of us were really into the internet I don't know how they planned their weddings without the World Wide Web (and especially the Wedding Bee).
As a matter of fact I went over to my friends house and brought up the forum on her computer so she could see everyone's comments on the picture that her son took of me at our wedding.
I talk about WB to everyone and anyone. They're probably getting sick of it. Especially since I'm married already. I need help.
I have 3 friends that know about WB and my sister in law. Other than that NO ONE knows, haahaahaa - - like so many of the girls have said its a great release place to keep a hidden secret a good safe zone. I get feedback of all sorts and it keeps my minds open. In a way it helps keeps me grounded and level headed. I don't want more people knowing about my WB addiction. When I talk about it I usually just say..."on these wedding blogs I frequent"........HAAHAAHAAHAAHAA
Yes, I definitely hide it as well! If my friends/family were to find out half the stuff I say on here is about them, then Weddingbee and I wouldn't be able to have a healthy relationship now...will we???
I give links to some blogs to friends organizing a wedding here and there but I've never outright given them my username. The Fi knows I'm on here all the time but wouldn't mention it to his folks. I also wanna keep WB semi-private (semi because all of you know, but private since no one I know, know).

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Yes, I come on here all the time. No, I don't want my friends on here too.
What I mean is.. sometimes I like to vent. I might vent about my life in general, people I know, friends, family, etc, and I just don't want my rl friends to have access to that... sooo.. I definately downplay WB or I don't talk about it at all to other people.
Anyone else?
(None of my friends are getting married though, so I don't feel quite as bad hiding it from them)
