    I'm curious... how did you find out about Weddingbee?

    I'm adding a poll, but would love to hear specifics in the comments below!

    • If you found Weddingbee through Google, do you remember what you were searching for?
    • If it was linked from another site or blog, do you remember which one it was?

    I stumbled onto weddingbee a few times from other websites. I have to admit, at the time I wasn't really informed about blogs so weddingbee was kind-of confusing (and over-whelming) to me at first. Now, I can't imagine life without it.

    same as miss sushi, I saw it linked from several blogs, but I can't remember which ones. I do remember thinking, there are so many posts that I'll never be able to keep up reading all of them....right - like I don't overuse the refresh button now.

    When I got engaged, I had no idea there was such a HUGE amount of blogs devoted to weddings. The first one I started reading was ihateplanningmywedding.blogspot.com, which is hilarious and links to Weddingbee. I've been addicted ever since, to both!

    I found it from Mrs. Snowpea's old wedding blog! She had it linked in her knot profile, and she had said she'd just become a blogger for Weddingbee!

    I also had found it looking for Chinese wedding ideas via google (so that is the option I picked).

    My bestie introduced me to it when I was her MOH.  Now it's helping me, too!

     I was stumbling the other day and stumbled upon an older weddingbee post, and I was so excited.  I've only been around for a few months, so it was really neat to get to read posts from some of the graduated bees! (Even though I heart the current bees :) )

    Way before I became engaged, I've been blogging on Xanga.  Xanga was my only blogging source at the time and I didn't know there is this much much wider range of blog world out there.  Anyways, when I became engaged, I sat down one day and searched (on Xanga) for wedding related sites.  I stumbled upon what was Ms. Poeny's page at the time.  I thought it was weird that in her posts, she refered to the Mr. as Mr. Poeny.  As I continue reading back through the older posts, I realized that she was a "bee" on weddingbee.  Following the link led me to this much much wider resource based on wedding DIY. 

    It's just too bad that Mrs. Poeny doesn't blog as consistently as she did before because I actually was very much looking forward to see how her wedding turns out, given that she was the first bee I followed.

    I believe it was quite a few months into the wedding planning process....I was googling for DIY Invites and bridesmaid gift ideas, and voila! The search led me here, and so it began. =) I just couldn't pry myself away.

    I wish I had found it a lot earlier, rather than 3 months out from W-day. =(

    Yep - our only major wedding planning "crisis" was around the rehearsal dinner.  I was from the camp of you invite all out of towners, and my in-laws wanted to invite only family.  It was really touchy because a lot of the reason was money, and my then FI didn't want to hurt his dad's pride by offering to help out.  It was super hard to tell my parents that because of a small amount of money, and despite all the $$ they were spending on the rest of the weekend, we weren't inviting their OOT friends to the dinner. 

    Anyways, I needed some guidance and help on who exactly is normally invited to the dinner, and while googling for help, I found the fabulous WeddingBee! I have been hooked ever since. I love following some of the Bees and the boards are interesting. I tried to break the habit but then I was bored one day darn-it, and I found the Newlywed boards, and it made me feel less pathetic for spending so much time on a wedding site after the wedding was over :)

    I was an avid Knot reader, and saw that one of the girls from the Philly area was a Knot Bio of the Week on Weddingbee.  So, I clicked over to see what this "bee" was all about.  And...total conversion for me, haven't been active on the Knot since.  (The bee gives me my wedding fix, and way more creative ideas and sincere, kind brides-to-be, brides and newlyweds.)

    Several months before we were even engaged, I was googling around trying to understand more about why we were only invited to the upcoming reception for my friend's LDS wedding.  I ended up on Mrs. Avacado's blog and linked over from there.  There were so many cool DIY ideas that I bookmarked it.....and now I'm addicted!

    Weddingbee always came up in Google for different wedding related searches. I never clicked on it because I didn't understand the name. Thinking, "Wedding Bee? Like a Spelling Bee? I don't get it." So I always skipped over it. Then I realized that no matter what the name is it must be good if it's coming up in every different possible wedding related search. So I clicked on it. Big mistake. How did you first find out about Weddingbee? :  wedding Icon Eek I've been obsessed with Weddingbee ever since! I got married 5 months ago, and I'm still obsessed.

    I first started reading Bee's blog at xanga.com/koreancooking, and I noticed that she had a few other blogs too, making a mental note of a wedding related one.  I didn't really look into it until after I was engaged.  I actually clicked the original xanga weddingbee, which then linked me to here.  I've been hooked ever since.

    I found weddingbee WAY back when Bee only had a xanga!  At that time I wasn't engaged, but I knew we were going to be soon!  I still love reading weddinbee even though I am married, and now that I am trying to get into the wedding business, I think it helps me to keep up on things.

    From Xanga!  I would read Bee's regular blog and her korean cooking one a looong time ago.  Then she posted the weddingbee design and asked which one looked better.  I would read weddingbee randomly but didn't get into reading it almost daily until last year.

    I remember hearing about it on other blogs and I checked it out, but was new to the blogging world and was confused at first.  I forgot about it, then found it again I think googling something (don't remember what it was).  I think I found Mrs. Lovebug I was hooked.
