Wedding Blog

Seems it’s a world full of heavy consciences. First there was Post Secret. Then there was Group Hug. And now, True Bride Confessions.

We got word of this site when it was launched a few days ago, but we figured we’d wait a couple of weeks until there was a nice cache of super scandalous, juicy secrets to post about. Goal achieved early.

The (sometimes wicked, sometimes sweet) confessions are listed in order by date. I spent half an hour riveted by what women want to get off their chests. And I think it’s a fantastic idea: a place to vent, to unload, to bitch, to brag…

But what’s really interesting are the clickable “me too” tags showing the number of co-conspirators in that given secret. I was blown away at the sheer prevalance of some of these very strong feelings.

Some examples from the site (numbered, to make commenting easier )

1. “I’ve been married just six months and I’ve already broken my vows. Oh shit!” me too (0)

2. “My mother wore white to MY wedding” me too (3)

3. “I detest my husband’s attitude about what marriage ’should’ be.” me too (5)

4. “I asked my girlfriend to be MOH when she was the same size as me. Now she’s lost 40 lbs. I hate her and don’t want her to even come to my wedding.” me too (4)

5. “I recently decided to hyphenate my last name, and I sprung it on my fiance at a dinner with some friends of ours so he couldn’t say anything about it. Hey, I’m a professional and am known in my community by my name, so getting rid of my last name might hurt my career. The kids will get his name, but I’m hyphenating.” me too (0)

6. “I have never been as alone as I have been since getting married” me too (4)

7. “I’m scared my fiance is going to sleep with other women (ie strippers) at his bachelor party, but I can’t stop him from having strippers, can I? Because I want to.” me too (4)

8. “I’m only marrying my husband for his money.” me too (18)

9. “My parents are spending a lot of money on this wedding and I’m secretly thrilled by it. My heart jumps every time Mom puts down the credit card. I’m nearly 30 years old, a hippy who works for a non-profit, and I’m getting a princess wedding. I love it but tell all my friends I’m doing it to make my mom happy.” me too (1)

10. “I hate how much time I’m spending thinking about vegetarian options.” me too (7)

Now here’s MY confession: as I looked through six pages of these secrets, I clicked “me too” twice.
