Weddingbee Blog

It’ll take me several more years to complete my thesis..but when I do, I definitely would prefer “Dr. Ant” to “Mrs. Ant”

In terms of weddingbee - I think having a “Ms.” category would be a bit silly, since it IS about getting married, and that’s an easy way to distinguish between bees planning their weddings and those who have been through it. That is valuable and relevant information in the context of this site.

For professional relationships/people I don’t know well, I far prefer Ms. I think it’s inappropriate for people to make assumptions on whether or not a stranger is married, or if they happen to know, to bring reference that information in a context where it is clearly irrelevant.

That said…I am kind of excited that I’ll get to be a Mrs. when I get married! BUT only to family/friends/people who know me well. If I’m not comfortable enough with you that I wouldn’t casually mention my wedding planning to you, it’s really none of your business whether I’m married or not.

i also agree with miss bluebell

weddingwishes & Miss Bluebell - I guess I don’t see how it is a useful distinction. Either from the post itself the poster’s marital status is clear, or it isn’t relevent. Those heart-shaped teacups? I don’t know if the blogger on that post was married or not, nor do I care. Mrs. Firefly’s gorgeous wedding photos? Well, they are kind of a tip-off that she is married.

I don’t care if all the bloggers on this site want to be Miss or Mrs., but I guess I find it odd that nobody is a Ms., since my life is filled with people who use that title. I also find it odd that the male bloggers aren’t listed. It’s just not what I’m used to.

I think that in my P.O.V., I’d want to be called “Mrs.” after marriage. And as related to WeddingBee, I actually think it DOES matter if the poster is a Miss or Mrs., because to use MS. it’s vague as to where they’re posting from, wedding-wise (as this website is). I mean, I read things from Mrs. Bee, and I know this is all from her “Have Done It” point of view, whereas Miss Bluebell is writing from her “Will Do” point of view. To me, it makes a difference, almost how you learn from other’s experiences, and mistakes, you can learn from this.

I’m finishing up my Ph.D. So, it’ll be Dr. or Prof. Although I won’t be offended if I’m called Mrs.; if I had to choose, it’ll be Mrs.

I really have no preference either way.. I love weddingbee just the way it is - Miss and Mrs. If I started to see Ms’s on here, I’d be confused.

I like the Mrs. and the Miss. Though I will continue to be Ms. in my real life once I’m married, because it’s none of your damn business just like a Mr., that’s why… at least in non-familiar circles, like work.
