    I love talking about weddings, fashion, and decor. I could talk about it all day, if someone would listen!

    Some people get tired of hearing me blab about this stuff all the time, that's why I LOOOVE weddingbee. We all love talking about it here. Everyone is awesome, friendly, and honest. It makes me super excited and giddy!

    Your turn! Why do you love Weddingbee? let's talk about it!

    We should sticky this!

    I just love that even though my VR is 2 years away, people here take me seriously.  No one has come dress shopping with me, or even cares to see pictures when I do go.  No one in my "real life" is taking this as seriously as I am.  Its hard. 

    I love the support I get here.  The DIY ideas, the general vibe.  Its like we are all happy for eachother in every stage of the process we are going through.

    Thats a good feeling:) 

    Weddingbee rocks!

    I am totally addicted, and when I had to choose one box to vote in your poll I almost couldn't decide! I totally love weddings too, and it is just so much fun to see what everyone is doing to make their wedding their own! So I picked "all the posts," but I really think I like everything about it!

    @Ronneykay: I love VR, i think they are an amazing statement between a couple, it makes me sad when people don't appreciate them. I'm happy for you!

    I'm mostly a boards freak. I like to comment/give advice a lot. I've only actually started a handful of threads myself, haha. I also feel like there are a few bees that I'd consider "bee friends" now that I've been around for a decent amount of time.

    It also helps me get my "wedding stuff" out of the way so I don't talk about it too much with FI or family/friends. Don't want them to get wedding burnout or anything. :)

    @SandAndSea: I'm with you- there are countless reasons to love weddingbee...

    I don't want to discuss wedding stuff 24/7 with my friends and family, and so I can get it out of my system here on the bee.

    Also- here we can discuss the most frivolous topics but also get a lot of emotional support when we are going through difficult periods....I am very appreciative!

    Everyone here is so supportive and helpful...I'm still pretty new on here, but whenever I have a question about something, I automatically think to come on here for feedback. People are so willing to help each other and I love that!

    I also feel like I frequently come down with a serious case of "Wedding Brain" where all I can think of is wedding stuff! This is the best place to come and get that all out so I don't bore my friends in real life with every itty bitty detail. No matter how great they are, I know realistically they don't care (or even have an opinion!) about something like votive placement on my centerpiece mirror. I can come on here and get twenty different ideas of where to put them!

    This may be really obvious, but, what is VR?

    Also, I love Weddingbee because it is amazingly supportive and SO inspiring!

    @SandAndSea: I love WB because you can talk about weddings 24/7 and look at all the wedding porn you want with other ladies that want to talk about weddings 24/7 and post porn all the time! I don't know what people did before the internet! There is just so much on this website! I didn't think you coud order flowers wholesale, design your own invites, basically design your own everything! And I have made some really awesome friends on this site.

    I love that it's a place where everyone seems to understand what you are going through. I know during my engagement noone wanted to hear anymore about the little details or understood the importance of chairs or napkins colors. I love that there was a place to come to talk about those things that were on your mind. Also, now after the wedding and as DH and I prepare to have a baby, there are so many bees who have great advice. And also since we are not telling anyone, it is sort of hard to ask family and friends some of these questions.

    @Miss Tattoo:

    + 1.

     

    I wanted to add that.  Since I am a waiting Bee, I can come here and get all that is 'wedding' out of my system, while maintaining my dignity :P

    I like this site cuz its a place you can come to and 9 out 10 someone here relates to your Wedding drama.

    No one really understands unless they are going through it, so Im glad there's a place I can vent, give advice, get ideas and over all have a sense of comradery that someone out there GETS me too.

    I love that I have an awesome group of girls to turn to when I feel like people just don't want to talk weddings...especially since our date is still pretty far away. I love being able to type something out and have great advice 2 minutes later. I can tell this will be a great place to come up until next summer...maybe even afterwards !

    I love the support I find here!  Sometimes you don't want to keep bugging your family and friends about wedding stuff (I assume they can get annoyed) so coming on here for advice and opinions is really great!  Also I have found soooo many helpful tips and also very unique ideas on here, I'd bee lost without the 'bee!  Where else are you gonna find brides as passionate and obsessive about weddings as the bees?  LOL

    @Ronneykay: Me too! No one seems to want to talk about my wedding because "it's so far away." Pish!

    I would love to come dress shopping with you. I went the other day and one of the ladies in the shop was all "There's no point in looking so early." and "Styles change so much." etc.

    I love Wedding Bee because everyone on here is so nice and supportive. I don't know how I would cope being away from my FI without being able to come on here and chat to you lovely ladies.

    So thanks to everyone on here! Laughing

    I love this board, it was a huge help for me with wedding planning, even though I came to it late in the process. I'm still here too even though I'm a newlywed, I love interacting with everyone, it's such a friendly, nice community, and I love being able to offer help to other future brides, etc.
