    I think it's so interesting to hear how everyone found and inevitably became addicted to WB.  I found weddingbee because my cousin was Mrs. Lemon's MOH and told me that I had to check out her wedding after I got engaged.  Weddingbee and wedding blogs became a quick addiction.

    How did you find WB?  google? stumble upon? friends?

    Through Mrs. Avocado and Mrs. Lemonade personal blogs. I was hooked right away and lurked around for a bit before I actually began posting.

    I found Mrs. Avocado while searching for more details about LDS weddings (trying to understand why my friend couldn't invite us) and followed her over.  I so wanted to apply to be a bee, but my fiance didn't want alot of photos of us on "the web" so I didn't :(

    I saw the site mentioned on the Philly Knot board, and came over to check it out!  Haven't really gone back to the Knot -- except to look at hair pictures -- since.

    I think I found some of the classifieds on Google or Altavista. I then started looking through the boards and everyone seemed so nice, especially compared to the other wedding website I was on. I've been addicted ever since.

    I was googling "Pittsburgh wedding venues" and came across an old, old post by Mrs. Lollipop describing some venues she didn't pick. Once I figured out what the site was, I was HOOKED! That was about a year ago--Mrs. Cream Puff was the first Bee that I was really into.

    i was looking for some inspiration for a wedding planning course I was taking and I came across one of apple cider's posts from her own blog in my google search results. i'm pretty sure it was this post about roses inside ice cubes http://carolynandalan.blogspot.com/2009/02/rose-ice-cubes-great-idea.html

     

    and i clicked her link to weddingbee and here i am 6 months later still here and still loving every post!

    I think I saw a random article on MSN that mentioned something about someone (I know it was a Bee obviously but I can't remember who) blogging about her wedding or something of that nature on WeddingBee so I googled it and found the Hive and have been hooked since. I feel bad that I can't remember which Bee it was Embarassed.

    I got super lucky and happened to click on a link for it on the right side of my screen on some random site while googling and pulling out my hair about a location for our blessed event.  Now I pass it on as "the best site in the whole wide world" to any girl I know is getting married.

    While researching weddings at zoo on Google I found a personal blog of someone who attended a zoo wedding in our hometown.  I went to her blog checked it out and saw she had a ton of wedding blogs listed on her site.  After hopping around to a few I ended up at Budget Savvy Bride and from there found Weddingbee, became obsessed and started my own blog.  Can't believe it's been a year already!

    My friend over at the Part Time Happy Homemaker (http://www.pthappyhomemaker.blogspot.com/) told me about Wedding Bee soon after my engagement.  I wasn't into it very much at first until I got bit by the blog and started my own.  Now I'm here several times a day!

    I found it linked somewhere, but I can't remember, maybe Snippet and Ink?  I was reading more and more wedding blogs and one day just stumbled on WB!  What a great thing that turned out to be! :)

    I was trying to find photos of lanterns for decoration. One of my bridesmaids sent me a link to Weddingbee with one of the bee's inspirations photos of it. I searched around the site more and started getting hooked right away!

    I think I found it through googling "wedding blog". I had a huge list of blogs and weddingbee made it to the top once I found out the rest of the features.

    I giggle when other brides ask if I signed up for other wedding communities (which shall remain nameless) because they just don't cut it with the Bee around.
