    I am not a Bee, but had hoped to be one someday (haven't reached the 8-month mark yet).  Unfortunately, I'm not sure I feel comfortable with that anymore.  My personal blog is here if you wish to read:

    Tear... I am so sad at this development. Go figure that some of my most favorite bees are on their way out.

    I can't promise anything, but I hope, hope, hope I can work with my developer friend to come up with something... a friendly bee-like site that can fill the gap of acceptance that we all know.

     Oh sigh, it really is the end of a fabulous era.

    My blog's not really wedding related (other than a few recent recap-ish posts from my June wedding), but I'm saying bye and thanks for everything (SO MUCH) this community has given me over the last 2 years. 

    Hugs and best wishes to all of you, regardless of what you decide to do.  I look forward to following your adventures in my favorite time-vacuum, Google Reader.

    considering my wedding is next weekend, i didn't think it would make much sense to back out last minute and stop posting.  once the wedding is over, i'll post my photo recaps and then depart, since this is taking more of a toll on me than i had anticipated.

    I'm still debating this whole thing emotionally and morally on a personal level and whether or not I shall cease reading and visiting, for various reasons. With that said, I am already stocking my Google Reader with the blogs of those bees and readers who are leaving so hopefully we can continue the love and support traditionally found within this community in other venues. In the meantime, I encourage you all to visit my blog The Sweetest Occasion so we can all hopefully stay in touch and work to find in each other the same inspiration, entertainment, and enlightenment that we have shared here. If You're Leaving the Hive, Please Post Your Blog... :  wedding blogs Icon Biggrin

    I want to stick around for a bit and determine for myself what direction WeddingBee will be taking. I respect everyone's decision to do what they feel is best given the situation.

    After feeling inspired by WeddingBee and all the fabulous bloggers (including, of course, Mrs. Bee), I started my own little blog. I'll throw it out there for anyone who is leaving the hive for good, www.carlysdreams.blogspot.com

    This is all so disheartening.  Weddingbee and the hive has always been the most wonderful and valuable resource for my planning.  I've been a loyal reader since August 2006 and I never thought I'd see this  day happening.  My new blog: I-Do-It-Yourself.com

    Hi All,

    I really love this site and continued to log on even after my wedding was over. Now that I'm an event/wedding planner, I still log on to stay in the know & stay connected to the site that revolutionized the world of DIY brides :)

    I am not leaving... out of principle. Don't misread me. I AM a staunch supporter of equality and LGBTQ rights. I am really sad that so many of the bees who contribute are leaving instead of making a point to get their voice out. Mrs. Bee has been given editorial power and I know she will make sure your/OUR voice is heard. Please know that I understand those of you who are deeply offended and feel sickened by this move. I just think this is an opportunity to get the message out and is a way to screw EHarmony for their shitty principals. What would be more powerful? Queer Wedding Wednesdays or silence? I think that would be a shame. I think that if there is sensorship or any sign of curbing our voice, we should leave. Until then, I hope those with strong voices (which I know you all have!) will use them.

     

    Please know I support any decision you make. I may not agree, but I am on your side.

    Hey all, I'm not a bee either, but i avidly stalked the hive. I absolutely loved the openness and willingness to share great ideas and creative projects.  I'm not going to apply to be bee - i worry about the quality of this wonderful homemade project turning into another peice of corporate america that loses its originality and may become censored.

     

    Please visit me at my blog: The Relentless Bride - http://imaynotbefamous.blogspot.com and I have a Link Library, so if i haven't already added you, please comment me so that I can... 

     

    This has been a great site, and i truly hope it can maintain its integrity.

     

    Good luck everybody

    I am so sad to hear about so many of the hive leaving.  This is an amazing site and I feel sorry for Mrs. Bee and all the other bees who must be experiencing so many emotions right now.   I will continue to come visit Weddingbee in the hopes that it will continue to be the wonderful and special place that we have all grown to love.

    For everyone that is leaving, I look forward to keeping up with everyone on their blogs and I will be adding them to my blog list to read.  My blog is just getting started but you can check it at http://www.myweddingreport.com/blog/ I hope to stay connected with the many people that have inspired me on the site. Even if I haven't always been a constant voice I have benefited from all the advice, inspiration and support of all you bees and readers.
