    That I subscribe to Brides magazine?  I've been getting this mag for about 6 months because I found a really awesome deal... and I really didn't think I would still be waiting!

     

    Any other waiting bees subscribe to a wedding mag?

    I'm not waiting anymore, but I did have a brides magazine subscription while I was waiting, it was taking him forever to ask and I really like the articles!

    I don't think it's weird at all! I have about 300 inspiration pictures on my computer and I'm still waiting! And I get wedding magazines from work and have been tearing those up!

    I don't think it's wierd at all. Women like to dream about their weddings and those magazine are full of dreams on paper. So go ahead a dream girl! :-)

    It might scare the bejesus out of your boyfriend.  My husband used to cringe when I jokingly picked one up at the grocery when we were still dating.  I was given a crate of magazines, but the only one I ever used was the 1st edition of Real Simple Weddings.

    @ eileen: ya know I thought he might be freaked by it, but at first I told myself/him that they were for my friend who got engaged last year.  But we discuss what we want in our wedding and ideas that we want to include, so I guess he doesn't think too much of it.  I never really talked to him about anything wedding related until we went ring shopping, and that was 2 years ago.. We've been together for almost 5 years and I guess we both know it will happen eventually.  I'm just prepared for it to happen sooner than later. :D

    I subscribe to a couple of them , and whenever I'm out of town, I like to buy the local mags since I can't get them at home.  Also like how some bookstores carry bride mags from other countries. 

    Before he unofficially asked me for the first time, I think I'd only bought a bride magazine once in my life.  I'm a musician and do weddings sometimes so I was looking maybe for ideas or advertising stuff....I can't really remember. 

    I don't think it's weird at all.  The ideas they have for planning receptions could be used for planning other parties and events.  The accessories could be worn for other occasions.  They have relationship articles.  So why not? 

    I think reading them is also helpful for anyone who's going to be a bridesmaid for the first time so they can get a better idea of what really goes on in the planning and preparation.

    I don't think it's weird at all.  I actually browse through them when I at the store.  I just love weddings.  Although my SO always makes a big fuss when I occasionally but the mag and when I'm on here or anyother wedding site.  He just does it to push my buttons I don't pay him any mind.

    Definitely not weird! like KMSull, I've got a load of wedding inspiration pics in my mac- I think it's not that different to having them in a printed magazine! (which would actually be so much more fun Smile)

    i don't think it's weird. i'm an internet junkie, so like many others, i've been bookmarking websites and getting ideas and i'm not engaged. from other bees' experiences here, the more prepared you are when you actually do get engaged, the smoother things will go and you can actually enjoy your engagement!
