Do you see what I’m talking about?
The wedding industry knows what I want. I want lots and lots of wedding porn in magazine form, even though I don’t need it.
This is why having an hour for lunch can seriously suck. I used to go to Barnes & Noble “to just look around” and would walk out with some form of bridal magazine. Every. Time.
The best worst part? Those pics were taken when I was engaged for only eight months and still had another 18 to go. I’m not even going to show you the current status in wedding-magazine land.
So yeah. This has to stop. Maybe we could afford a damn videographer (which we currently can’t) if I stopped wasting money on magazines. Boo. (But they have such pretty picturessssss.)
Are you a sucker for wedding mags, too? You want any of mine?
I would be if I could afford it, hahaha! I am an avid couponer and deal seeker and was able to get a subscription to a bridal magazine for a year for super cheap and that is all i can afford.
it’s horrible!!! I get upset when I go to the newstand or bookstore and there are no new ones to buy b/c I already have them all!!!
My fiance and I have been together since 1998 and just got engaged. I started buying bridal magazines in 2004. So I have 7 years worth. I just went through all of the really old ones and just ripped out the pages I wanted. But I still couldn’t part with them!
Hey if you wanna sell them… I’d take a dozen… Maybe you should put some lots together… I bet if you sold them for at least 50% off news stand prices you’d probably get over $100 back… And if no one else is interested PM me - cuz seriously mama could use some new (to me) mags
Yep. But every time I wanted to buy a wedding magazine, I’d remind myself it’s allllll online. Plus more. Plus better stuff. At least the Martha stuff is all online 
I had more of an issue with my Google Reader wedding blog overload!!
I went through the SAME thing Fox! Eventually I mustered up the courage to get rid of my wedding porn magazines. But now my DVR is full of Bridezillas, Four Weddings and such. Its a cycle that never ends!
I’m the same way with magazines… hell, I still bought some bridal mags when I was already married! LOL
the day after I got engaged, I went to B&N and about every bridal magazine in the store. whoops!
I collected the magazines while I was working as a wedding coordinators assistant, ironically once I got engaged I think I only bought 2 or 3 magazines. I got irritated when I realized that something like 85% of the magazine was advertisements, mostly for dresses I could never in a million years afford. So while I admired the pretty I decided to turn my focus to the internet.
I am looking for the Summer 2011 The knot…apparently it’s the only one I didn’t buy and then I found out my dress is on the cover 
Yeah, I have a whole mountain of wedding mags looking for a new home now. I finally stopped buying them two months before the big day, but I still find myself wanting to buy more, they’re just full of pretty!
I am so proud of myself - I have not bought ONE magazine yet!
I keep telling myself that I am building a stock pile… a girlfriend of mine will be getting engaged soon… so as soon as I am married I am going to pass along a box FULL of wedding porn to her… see… its going to a good cause! (I re-use! lol)
Oh boy! I was that way for the first few months (and I still have to check the newsstand every time)
but like Miss Ticket it got better when I realized most of the adds were the same…and not what I was looking for in my wedding. Still fun to look though!:)
Wow, that is a lot of magazines. My advice? Take them all to Half Price Books and use the $20 you get back to buy something small but sweet for your fiance.
Haha, no kidding! Those things are expensive as heck. I finally got rid of a bunch of old wedding magazines I had laying around to a newly engaged friend. They are her problem now 
Oh thank the lord I am not the only one with a mountain of magazines.
oh my gosh. that’s insane! hehe. I’m so incredibly cheap so all the ones I’ve got are hand me downs.
I so feel you, Fox! My wedding mag collection is OUT OF CONTROL. Hopefully some of your friends will start getting engaged and you can donate them to their collection—that’s helped me clear off my bookshelf greatly <3
This is what my old apartment looked like. When we moved a few months ago I tossed mostly all of them (I have to keep my Martha Stewarts). The funny thing is I NEVER went back to read the old ones.

Miss Fox, Washington DC/Havre de Grace, MD Age and Occupation: 26, Massage Therapist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Field Support Engineer Engagement Date: April 18, 2010 Wedding Date: June 2012 Venue: Vandiver Inn About Me: I’m a dancer turned massage therapist who was born and raised in New York. Alas, true love has brought me “south” where I still maintain my penchants for pretty shoes, wine, crossword puzzles, cherry blossoms, and the Mets. I own more sunglasses than a normal person should and don’t eat red meat (though I make up for it by eating my weight in sushi). I tend to be a big planner who likes to get things started early, but generally end up being indecisive and procrastinating when it comes down to it. I have a (not so) secret crush on Chris Carrabba, but my loyalty and love ultimately goes to the future hubs, of course! Together, my Foxy man and I love to discuss (read: debate) politics and current events, have Mario Kart and Scrabble duels, and just laugh. A lot. We’re hoping and planning for a laid back, fun, summery, rustic vibe to our June wedding that will be genuinely “us” – that is, if we finally make some decisions. Huzzah!
