Weddingbee boards
and the first thread i read, halfway down, everyone was calling each other bitches!
to make it better, the thread was about how un-user friendly the site is, nothing that even involves a personal element WHATSOEVER
tg for weddingbee.
I know! I only went there once. I was amazed, and kind of saddened about how MEAN everyone was!
yikes! sad to here that...i've never been on any other wedding boards but here. I think i'll keep WB my home. :)
I go on for fun sometimes and read the especially bitchy ones. It makes me feel better about myself as a person and about WB being awesome!
i had heard bad things about it, but thought i'd check it out. i didnt expect what id heard to be THAT shockingly true.
OMG, that's so uncalled for. I've never been on there before but now I kinda wanna check it out lol. Just to see how mean they really are because you're not the first to say so. That's where I'll be for the rest of my lunch hour............
HAHAHA the local knot boards for me are much like WB, people are friendly where I'm from! But all other boards are psycho like that every time i get on! My mom reads the knot boards for ideas for me and I don't know how she even does it! I would be too offended at that unladylike behavior...
i hear that about the knot boards a lot though haven't really ventured there. i think all the stories scared me away. plus i figured they might eat a waiter like myself alive! lol
the thread was something like this
bride1: omg i hate the new knot layout
bride2: well its past the point of whining so stop complaining and deal with it
bride1: i wasnt whining i was stating my opinion
bride2: sometimes stating your opinion is whining, and in this case it is
bride1: no need to be a bitch
bride 2: you're the bitch
some random bride who butted her nose in: ummm bride1 YOURE the bitch because its not fair to call someone a bitch just because they tell you youre whining.
at which case i xed out the tab and sprinted back to weddingbee at an alarming rate
I posted on there a few times and was accused of being a vendor. When I asked why they were so quick to accuse, it got ugly! I will never go back there again.
I agree with the user-friendliness, I wanted to see if everything I had heard about it was true, and I could barely find a post to read! So I didn't bother after that.

Was that from theknot.com boards or from every bad competitive skank reality show on VH1?
Both the knot and the nest are so mean! I made one posting at the nest once (it's for newlyweds) and was called a dumb bitch like ten minutes later! (And I don' think I was being one, for the record! ;))
@ missacs hahahahaha it definitely reminds me of a flava flav episode. or maybe rock of love?
i am still shocked with some of the things i see on there, but the tampa one isnt like that! i promise!
i went on the nest once and all i could find were threads about threesomes and swingers. i think once im a newlywed i'll stick to the newlywed board on bee..haha. the knot/nest should get some good moderators or something to clean that hotmess up
I read articles and look at photos on The Knot, but the 'Bee is my real wedding home! Thanks bees for being supportive and helpful!
it's just a different vibe over there. I like both equally. The ones snarking each other probably know each other. There are lots of long-standing relationships on TK.
The Knot's local boards aren't so bad. I've found their Hawaii board pretty helpful, actually. But I don't dare venture to the global boards, it gets pretty viscious.
I got helpful advice when I posted on there, til they realized that I am only 19. Then it was all "well I take back any advice I gave, you just need to wait to get married". Um. EXCUSE ME? Offbeatbride.ning.com is my home, but I think Weddingbee seems like a good place to be, too. :)
I posted a couple questions there before and noone even answered. Then I discovered WB and a whole new world opened before my eyes ... 
I know this sounds bad but I never in a million years thought I'd join a "wedding board", I thought it would be full of sterotypical crazy bridezillas and vapid, catty women. I guess I don't think too highly of my sex sometimes. Can't tell you how pleasantly surprised I was to actually find mature, intelligent people here and a TON of useful information. I am now addicted.
I hate teh Knot boards. Those women ARE the stereotypical crazy bridezillas.
I much prefer WB. You guys are so much more normal. lol Most of the time... ;)
I don't get the appeal of that place at all. I ventured there just to lurk and was shocked at what I saw. Not only are they snarky and cruel beyond belief but they have no qualms in ripping you a new one if you don't have the means and desire for something off of Platinum Weddings that has absolutely no personalization at all. Heaven forbid you try to have a wedding you can afford and serve normal food, etc etc. How they can get away with the excuse of saying "if you don't get the honest feedback from us, then your wedding will be a disaster since your family and friends will sugarcoat how pathetic and inhospitable you are toward them" is beyond me. I guess the rule that everyone grew up with about keep your mouth shut if you can't say anything nice doesn't apply to them?
Oh yes, Selene221, I saw them completely rip one poor bride a new one because she suggested *gasp* that she might use artificial flowers for her bridesmaids' bouquets! By the end of their ranting at her about how tacky it was, I just felt horrible for her.
@misslaryss, one of the threads I saw that I couldn't believe was one girl asking if serving burgers was tacky because it's something that her guests would be familiar with, and the fact that they are featured on most of the wedding blogs now as a dinner option. Everyone was ripping apart anyone who suggested keeping it familiar instead of going exotic. Because apparantly you can't have a proper wedding unless the food is so out there that no one touches it because the food is supposed to be for aesthetics only and has to be quite impressive visually rather than tasty. Meanwhile another one was ripped apart because she doesn't believe that you should get tastings before locking yourself into your vendors and just rely on other people's personal tastes and experiences as all the info you need.
That's just the tip of the iceberg of all the different things one can get ripped apart for. Thank god that WB isn't anywhere near that judgemental.
Wow, never considered trying and now won't even go there. Gotta say though it make us all appreciate WB even more.
Y'all should've read the one where the poor girl wanted to include Disney stuff in their wedding cause they met working there or something like that. Ripped.Her.Apart. I love the hive. :)
Personally, I like Wedding Bee so much more than The Knot. It's real blogging, and it features so much more DIY and realistic budgeting than The Knot's featured weddings. I pick up their regional (MD/DC/VA) magazine in which they feature area weddings. These weddings are like Platinum weddings on WE! It's just ridiculous. I love the 'Bee because it's so welcoming and bride friendly without all the drama!
I will say the weddingbee board is the most friendly and supportive board I have ever been on! I am a heavy lurker on the weight watchers board, but am usually pretty scared to do more than ask questions on the newbie board...some of those folks can be brutal!! But never the bees! Thank you all in the hive!
I posted one question on theknot boards once and got a bunch of super snarky remarks. Unlike here, where if you ask a question that may have already been asked and the bees still answer you or kindly direct you to a common thread, I got a few comments along the lines of "ugh! Someone's asking this question AGAIN!" Suffice it to say that I never posted another thing on there again!
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE wedding bee :) and all the BEES on here. i posted ONE question in general about my reception and got the rudest of comments on TK. i mean, nasty nasty comments back and so judgemental.
the point of these boards is for constructive criticism NOT personal digs...i love wedding bee because all of the bees i have noticed so far, are more than helpful and supportive of one another. thats how it should be!
gotta love WB!
Oh, I know! Didn't know about wedding bee for a while and was on the Knot a LOT. Those girls were terribly rude and inconsiderate constantly. I was so glad when I found WB!
However, has anyone started to notice that it seems that more and more of those girls from theknot are creeping over here? I wonder what WB will do to keep people like that away, if its possible!
i agree that the local boards are cool, but the other women on there are simply psychotic it's like they use a bashing session as therapy and well i'm not nice enough to deal with them because i bite back lol therefore i'll just stay here :D
my DH (fiance at the time) saw theknot.com and was so thoroughly horrified with it that it's on the "boycott" list along with Martha Stewart, Crocs (excluding on babies and medical professionals), and cooking a steak well done. Hehehe!
