Weddingbee Post Wedding
October 25th, 2007 @ 3:11 pm by Reader Buzz
Mrs. Bee here.
I recently heard from several readers and bees that they’re more into weddingbee after they’re married than before. Maybe it’s just PTWS, but I wonder when you totally get weddings out of your system.
So married readers please share, how long have you been married and does your wedding obsession show any signs of waning?

I have only been married a few weeks, but still cannot stop checking the bee!!! Can’t you launch a marriedbee website now too!!!! i feel like a peeping tom now….lol
2 years later i am still addicted to weddingbee!! i ALWAYS look back and wish weddingbee was in full swing back then so i could apply to be a bee!!! i vote for marriedbee too.
I’ve been married for almost 6 weeks and weddingbee is still on my daily (okay, hourly) must-read list! I second marriedbee!
I have been married for almost 2 months now! I still love coming and looking here several times a day
4.5 years and still obsessed. I wish you ladies were around when I was planning my wedding, but let’s face it - then I wouldn’t have gotten ANY work done.
It’s been 2 months and still just as obsessive! I wish I’d applied to be a bee before my wedding so I could post now, but it’s too late and I’ll have to content myself with reading everyone else’s posts!
A little over a year and still reading, this a great blog.
Married for almost 6 months and I read CONSTANTLY. I am very glad to hear that I am not alone, I always kind of feel like someone is going to “bust” me!!
5 months today! I’m loving the hive so much right now because I finally have time to read it! 
I’ve been married four months (woah, yesterday! I didn’t notice that until now) and I adore this site. I also check it all the time. I still check some of the other sites - Style Me Pretty, etc. but I don’t do the entire wedding blog roundup as much as I used to. Still, I love this site and cannot imagine getting through my day without getting updates from everyone. Marriedbee please!
I think that’s there are two type of “post-wedding watchers”
1) have a true interest in all things craft, art, event planning, florals, etc.
and
2) had their life consumed for wedding planning for so long (sometimes up to a year of actually engaged time, but some plan their whole life!) — and it’s just a matter of time until the next things moves along: i.e. house-hunting, house decorating and kids.
I’ve been married for 3 months now and I still read weddingbee regliously. I don’t think wedding planning will ever leave my system =)
i’m still wedding-obsessed! we’ve been married almost a year and i think about wedding planning all the time (in between thoughts re: our ongoing home-renovation).
luckily, my little brother is getting married in August ‘08 and his fiancee lets me live vicariously through her.
I don’t know…I don’t come to the site nearly as often as I used to. There was a time when I read every.single.post.
But now if I remember to wander over I just skim until something catches my eye. I don’t look at any other wedding stuff and haven’t even started my photobooks yet. I just need a break. We got married in August and I am still tired!
Been married for only 4 months, and still loving the site. I’ll be on here forever.
Married exactly eight months today! But didn’t discover Weddingbee about three months ago. I don’t visit other wedding sites (except the occasional knottie bio linked from here), but there’s something about this site… the creative ideas, the craftiness, the humor and occassional fun snarkiness just make it a great read.
I’ve even gone back to read the archives… Misses Ladybug and Caterpillar were especially entertaining– I’d love to hear more from them on “Marriedbee”!
(P.S. Mrs. Bee, I’m the one who sent you the info on painted wedding shoes under my personal email addy a few days ago. Hope it didn’t go to spam b/c of the photo attachments.)
I am more obsessed with wedding stuff since becoming a Mrs. (been a Mrs. for over a year).
I took a very relaxed approach when it came to my wedding but now that I have a good friend planning a wedding, I am constantly scouring this site and the internet for inspiration for her!
I think I win. I’ve been married 11 1/2 years! LOL I may have started my company to justify my wedding obsession. Having babies got my mind off it for awhile, but my sister-in-law helped suck me back in. Now that I work within the biz, I think I’m obsessed for life.
I’ve been married for 2.5 months and although the interest has waned a bit, I still ooh and ahh over new ideas and thing about…a renewal of vows in a few years!
Over 2 months married and counting…my wedding obsession will never wane!
Just over 4 months…. still going strong with the wedding obsession. I ponder the idea of starting some sort of business related venture all the time but haven’t done anything yet. Still on weddingbee several times each day!
since august 11!! but i check weddingbee everyday due to ocd. it’s part of my routine and i still love to read about others who are planning or just married.
almost 5 months.. my husband makes fun of me whenever he catches me reading. But, I’m hooked
It was five months on October 19. This is really the only wedding site I still read and like others, I think of doing something in the wedding business, but I haven’t got my foot in the door yet, so I just keep reading weddingbee instead.
I’ve been almost married a month. I still read but a lot less. I’m trying to wean myself from wedding related stuff but it’s hard!!! I think I get more caught up in the Bee’s personalities and seeing all their hopes and plans coming to fruition.
I am going on 1 year and 2 months and I am still reading! I am definitely still experiencing post wedding withdrawal. Thanks for the great site!
Been married 2.5 years now and let’s just say I still check Weddingbee MULTIPLE times a day! =P Maybe there can be a “Where are the bees now?” series?
almost 4 months and im still addicted to wedding bee!! i can’t stop reading!
I’ve been married 5 months tomorrow, and my wedding obsession has definitely waned. I needed a break after all the stress of wedding planning.
We had a beautiful wedding and I loved Weddingbee as a resource then, but I am definitely looking to the next step in our lives, rather than dwelling on the past.
I’ve been married two years and three months. I found this site through a JuneBug Weddings a couple of months agao when I was doing some research for a friend’s wedding dilema. I’m a researcher at heart and this site offered more than one perspective on things. So maybe I wasn’t big into the idea of having this or that at a wedding, but if my friend is, I can show her how these other brides have done it. It took me about a month of reading before I decided I want to respond. I felt like I had something to offer since I’d been there and done that for some of the topics. Now I’m pretty sure I’m hooked.
I’ve been married a little over two months. Most of my wedding addictions (i.e. The Knot & MS Weddings) are waning. However, I still read weddingbee almost hourly. I think it’s because a lot of the ideas that are shared can be used for things other than weddings. I wish I had found weddingbee sooner.
I agree with Anne; I wish I would have found this sooner. I stopped looking at the Knot about four months before our wedding, and didn’t really any other brides to talk to or help me with the logistics of things.
We’ve been married for almost two months now, and I can’t imagine a day going by without me looking at this fabulous blog. I need help!
3 Months and still can’t get enough. I look at it like 3 times a day at work just to see who’s updated! I love it!
I still check in occassionally. But honestly, I got pregnant so soon after getting married, that my focus shifted almost right away.
I thought I was the only one! It’s been three months and I still check this site often. It’s weird because I can’t stand the sight of wedding magazines or the thought of visiting the knot again, but I still really enjoy reading this site. I think it’s become my xanga replacement.
Congrats on the pregnancy, Mrs. Firefly!
Right now one friend is getting married and one just had her baby, so I sort of have a foot in each of these life events. I check out Wedding Bee and Mom’s Journal regularly and it’s great seeing where I’ve been and what I can look forward too.
I’ve been married a little under 2 months and I’ll probably come back often over the years just cause I love to DIY and you gals have the best ideas! Truth be known, I’m not visiting as often as before.
I just got comments from eight different posts e-mailed to me - I never signed up for comments from those posts, and when I go to my subscription page, it only shows me subscribed to two posts. What’s going on? (Is anyone else having this problem?)
I got married three weeks ago tomorrow and I still look forward to reading Weddingbee everyday! Now I’m not reading it to get ideas for my wedding, it’s just a fun, girly indulgence.
Like many other brides, my focus has shifted to my married life: making a home together and hopefully starting a family soon.
I’ve been married for a little over two months and I check it every day. I hope I don’t get married again, but it’s still so much fun!
married for almost 6 months, and i’m still checking as frequently as i did when i was engaged. funny, i was just talking to my friend about this the other day. she told me that other wives say it takes about 4 yrs to get weddings out of their system!! yikes.
Oh my - I’m in for a long addiction I see… I’m not even engaged yet, and I read every. single. day.
I’ve been married 3 months and still check out weddingbee twice a day. I’m glad I’m not the only one doing it because I was starting to worry about myself! My husband would ask me why I’m still reading the site when our wedding’s over. I can’t help it!
19 months…and very unfortunately discovered weddingbee the week after our honeymoon!
I’ve been married for 7 weeks and am still here many times a day! I’m eager to get my professional photos back to keep sharing, but in the mean time I’m enjoying seeing all the new “miss” bees who are still in the exciting stage of planning their dream wedding. It’s such a great community — I see myself sticking around for quite some time and hope I can still contribute in some meaningful way.
Just celebrated our 1 year anniversary, and I still check in about 1-2 times during weekdays, so I supposed I’m somewhat addicted. I just enjoy seeing what other brides are up to and while I may be a little more discriminating on what posts I choose to read, I continue to enjoy learning about new crafts ideas, wedding trends and just being introduced to different sites and services that are applicable everyone, even someone who is no longer planning a wedding.
Having a Married Bee is an interesting idea, but it all depends on how it’s presented. It seems to me that over on The Knot, more married readers stay away from The Nest than join it in active participation. Perhaps it’s because it’s so all emcompassing…married life…vs the very specific niche of planning a wedding.
Been married a little over 2 years. I just love the unique and creative ideas that all the Bees highlight…and I love paper. Plus, since I didn’t do a lot of post-wedding stuff (preserving, photo album, etc.), it’s been a good way for me to get ideas and get going!
I’ve just been married a few weeks. I no longer feel like I have to read every line written on the site but still like to see what’s up. I was just asked to be a bridesmaid so I feel like it’s still ok to look…actually it’s still ok for anyone to look as long as they want!
married almost 14 months and check weddingbee pretty regularly. maybe i can justify this obsession because i’m going to 9 weddings over the next year, 7 of which i’m slightly involved in, either as a bridesmaid (3), musician (1), personal attendant (1) or groomsman’s wife (2) - heh.
About 5 months. I skim weddingbee through my Bloglines about once a week, while I used to read every single post. Now, the posts that interest me are more about general crafting ideas or post-wedding issues from the married bees, like dividing up the holiday visits.
Have you thought about launching a marriedbee?
