    Some people have told me that none of their friends know what Weddingbee is... while other friends have told me that ALL of their friends know about Weddingbee!

    I think part of it is geography.  For a while, there were a ton of New York bees, and I heard a lot of New Yorkers talk about Weddingbee!  But now there aren't that many bees in NY but there are a TON in SoCal!

    I'm curious... do people know about Weddingbee in your neck of the woods?  I guess it would help if I also asked: where do you live?

    Too funny Mr Bee...I was just telling my BFF who is a newlywed about my new "addiction" the other night. I had never heard of it before a few weeks ago & she had not either...she was like oh I wish I had known about it during wedding planning.

    btw - I'm 30 minutes south of Boston

    I live in the Bay Area...Silicon Valley...and I've never heard of anyone talk about it here, but I also don't know many people that are getting married.  For the people I do know that are, I try to spread the word.

    I had definitely never heard of it. Just found it by accident googling for non-traditional wedding music. I've been raving about it on facebook and to everyone, so some people here in TN know about it now! I've got at least 2 other girls in my life getting married this year, so I'm making sure they know about it. (Tho one is my FSIL and a bridesmaid, so I'd have to be careful what I say if she starts stressing me out... hmm.)

    Someone should make a WeddingBee group on Facebook, everyone is on there! Then invite all your engaged friends!

    Though, there might already "bee" one I haven't searched on FB for it! lol

    I honestly don't know anyone that knows of Weddingbee around me. I'm pretty sure ALL of my friends have heard me rave on and on about it. Since then I have about 2 friends who are now addicted and we chat about what we read. :o)

    I've told some friends about WB because of my blogging, but I don't think many of them check it out.  I'm just about the last one to get married of all my friends, so I understand if they aren't too interested in checking it out.

    I always wonder how many brides know about it when I am at bridal fairs or other wedding-ish events.  I over hear them talking about something and I just want to say "check out Miss so and so's post on that!  She did a great tutorial."

    My circle of friends in NoVA have never heard of WeddingBee!  It's definitely gained some traction in this area, just not amongst my friends.  It may because we're just now hitting that phase where everyone is getting hitched.

    A few of my friends know.  I have told a few military brides here at the hospital where I work about it (cool new military board) and I've told my friend (part of the encore couple) about it too. 

    I will blab to the world thought when Ms. Sparkley (nickname for the ring) goes on the finger!

    I really don't hear anyone talking about Weddingbee here in Chicago. My friends (some of whom are engaged) and family only know about it because of my blogging. I try to spread the word whenever possible, though! :)

    I'm from Delaware, and I'm sure no one has heard of weddingbee in my neck of the woods.  The Delaware thread on the boards is also pretty quiet.  Since I'm all about weddingbee, it often comes up in conversations with my friends.  They think I'm crazy now, but once they are engaged they'll understand.

    There are a lot of SoCal bees on Weddingbee, but I feel like a lot of people I talk to don't know that much about weddingbee or even wedding blogs.  I've been sending friends who get engaged links to all my favorite wedding blogs because I found them so much more helpful than magazines.

    I will speak for the Canadians and say that no, it's not really well known north of the 49th parallel. At least, from my personal experience.

    I am friendly with one of the Mrs. Bees and used to read her blog when she was getting married.  When I got engaged I hopped on the bandwagon : )

    Most of my friends know about it b/c they know  the Mrs. Bee and/or I have talked about it.

    None of my friends know... I think it's crazy.  But, then again, I found it because I was looking to DIY everything whereas they were looking to have everything done for them and aren't searching for the same things.

    I found Weddingbee through a friend of mine who got married in September. The Columbus local board is pretty dead, though, so I don't know whether there are a lot of Central Ohioans on the Weddingbee bandwagon!

    NOPE! I live in St Louis and stumbled across Weddingbee by accident. I have a few friends getting married and while I feel selfish keeping this great site from them, I also like to keep my anonymity because if you knew me, you'd know it was me so quickly it wouldn't even be funny! I need most of the DIY tips, while their wedding needs vary greatly, from the girl who's got it all worked out to the girl who's crafty mother has it covered, another one is Indian so her parents are taking care of it so the culture is implemented into the wedding properly, to the girl who's fiance is all about the wedding.

    I think it's definitely something you only know about if you're getting married.

    I found it through another blog I think? Or googling? Or maybe one of those top blog sites?

    And I'm currently living in Upstate NY!
