Happy 2 Year Anniversary Weddingbee, Yippee Woo Hoo!

While I wasn’t an O.G. Bee, I have been a reader in this community for almost a year now, and I can’t believe what an incredible resource it has been for me and all brides I know! But, on the flip side, it’s turned into a slightly unhealthy addiction. I love me some Weddingbee, and I’ve become slightly obsessive about how I soak in all the info. Here’s how my computer looks at any given point in the day:

Hello, My Name Is Miss Penguin, And I'm Addicted To Weddingbee... : wedding sacramento B1311571 b131157

Check out that sweet tabbing action. As you can see, I always have one dedicated window open to 3 tabs: Weddingbee front page, Weddingbee Boards, and BeeTV. I hit refresh every 10 minutes, as if on cue, to see what new information has surfaced.

This is straight up unhealthy, yo.

Share with us your Weddingbee addiction stories below. Feel free to comment as Anonymous if you’re totally embarrassed. Which you shouldn’t be. Pengy feels you.

Hello, my name is Jenniferb and I have have been a regular user for 10 months and 2 weeks. The first thing I do after a vacation or an extended period away from the computer is read ALL of the posts while I was away. I bore all of my friends in family with stories that begin with “today on Weddingbee Mrs Corn posted about her….” and “OMG, Miss Cupcake postred a picture of my wedding dress!” I get married in 8 months and 3 days and plan to check Weddingbee and estimated 4,000 trimes between now and then.

Penguin, you crack me up. I’m just waiting for the day that Weddingbee operates on an “auto-refresh” system, like CNN.

I have an RSS ticker that checks every 5 minutes for updates to anything I have an RSS feed for, which, of course, has WeddingBee right at the top of the list. As soon as things are up, within a couple minutes, I have a little scrolling bar across my Firefox that lists the name of the new article. It’s FABULOUS!

I’ve been reading weddingbee for over a year now–but I’ve only been engaged for about two months. I love me some major weddingbee. I check my email, Facebook, and then weddingbee. I’m addicted!

My name is teeners, and I too, am a weddingbeaholic. I check it first thing in the morning right after my email, throughout the entire day, and right before i turn off my computer before bedtime. I now want to have ten million weddings so I can do all the cool things that are posted here. It is a problem.

By the way, loving the tabbing action. That is brilliant. Nothing like feeding the addiction.

hi my name is tea and i’m a weddingbee addict…and i’m not even engaged yet. lol. i just figure that when the bf does propose, i’ll be righteously prepared like a boy scout. i check here multiple times during the day and i often sign into a chat and leave it open when i’m at home and doing other stuff. once, my sister was wondering why my computer was talking to me. lol.

Dear weddinbee,
How I love thee. Our relationship has only been going on for a short month, but I feel as though our love has grown to new heights. You are my addiction, my escape, my everything. But really, the affair needs to stop here. I need to get work done. I need that PROMOTION so I can afford the videographer. But alas, I just can’t quit you.

I got married almost 6 months ago and still check out Weddingbee daily. I tried to detox after the wedding, and though I don’t stalk all of the photographer blogs I used to (down to 2), I’m still strong and steady with checking in on Weddingbee. I even started my own blog for the hell of it. I don’t have wedding stuff to write about anymore, but I plan to post some projects I completed for my own wedding down the line.

I am not engaged and I subscribe to probably 30 or 40 wedding related blogs, but wedddingbee is always the first thing that I check in my google reader.

I have 18 credits, and most of my hours in the library are broken up by “bee breaks”. I talk about the bee’s as if I know them. Seriously, the symns for the ladies are starting to crop up in my everday speech. Sentences such as “The other day, Miss Penguin posted about …..”

I sit in the back of my classes so that others can’t spy on my addiction. I am working on steadily reading through the archives, starting with the Mrs.’, I have read through Ant, Apple, Beetle, Bell Pepper, Bird of Paradise, Bluebell, Blueberry, Butterfly, Butterscoth and Caramel.

Half of my classes don’t have internet, so I devote an entire browser to loading tabs full of weddinbee goodness and read it all while offline.

I have a huge favorite folder in my browser called “Weddingbee Ideas To Steal” hehe.
