So today at work, I got an IM from Mr. Nachos informing me that if you Google Wyndham Sugar Bay Wedding under images, a picture of me comes up. I thought that was kinda funny considering we haven’t had our wedding yet. Then, out of curiosity, I decided to Google myself. Come on now, you can’t tell me that you haven’t done it. And what do I find? A link to my Wedding Channel profile.

Hold the phone. I never signed up for anything on Wedding Channel!?@?!

My “profile” was full of info complete with my full name and Mr. Nachos’ full name, our wedding date, and a link to our registry (on which nothing has been bought yet but I digress).

Now, I personally don’t particularly care too much, but Mr. Nachos likes to be more on the private end of the internet spectrum. So I went on the BBB registry website to see if this was something through them that I could disable. Um, negativo.

My next step was to go on the BBB Live Chat.

I was connected with a helpful little invisible web chap named Bryan. I informed him of the discovery, gave him the link, and asked if this was something created through BBB. Guess what? It is. They automatically create a profile of you and your fiance with a link to your registry. I can honestly say that I never knew this and I don’t believe I was informed, although I tend to skim over fine print so it’s possible that it was brought to my attention in REALLY small font.

So this is just a heads up: if any of you registered at BBB and have any psycho exes that you don’t want crashing your big day, a crazy aunt that may flip if she knew you were getting married before her, or a boss that doesn’t know you’ll be taking a week vacation in a few months, you may want to look into that. I asked Bryan if it could be disabled and he said he’d put in a request to have it removed. We’ll see what happens. I guess when you put it out there, it’s everywhere!
