Wedding Blog

Our last Post-A-Thon was a smashing success! The bees, hostesses and hive members all swarmed the boards for a night in of wedding chat and good times! So, we’re doing it again! Join us all on the Weddingbee boards tomorrow as we get together for wedding advice, inspiration, and a great day of getting to know the hive members better. We’d love for you to…

Hi Ladies!

My name is Alyssa and I am so glad I found these boards because I’ve been going insane the past few months. My boyfriend and I have been together almost seven years, and we picked out THE ring in March. I have been going NUTS waiting for it. My question is, for those of you who are waiting, or have waited, have you ever…

Okay, so laughter is the best medicine and humor is the best antidote for anger, right? To that end, I’m going to start my own little list of the best passive aggressive wedding related comments I’ve heard - mine and other people’s - and remind myself that in the end they are so ridiculous you have to laugh!

Our boards have been a hopping hotbed of hive activity, but we’d really love to focus on growing our local boards.  While the major coastal cities are doing well, we’d love to have a Hive Hostess for every local area!  We’re currently looking for Hostesses for these major metropolitan areas:

My FI and I have been living together for almost three years, so at this point we really don’t need much in the way of housewares. On top of that, we’ll be getting married in Vegas, and then flying back to CA, so we’d rather not lug lots of wedding presents everywhere.

While we would be HUGELY grateful for the generosity and thought that goes…

I am getting married in 3 weeks—it is the second wedding for both of us, and one of the highlights is that we have all of our children in the wedding party. My bridesmaids are my two daughters and his two daughters (ages 15-23), and the groomsmen are his two brothers, my son, and a friend.

My fiance had a child when he was very young,…

Hi Everyone,

Just wondering what the protocol is for the vendors (photographers, florists, etc.) that you end up not choosing. Are you supposed to send them an email letting them know that you didn’t choose them, or do they assume as much if you don’t get back to them? I’m not sure what people usually do.

Thanks!

My fiance and I are a little shy and don’t dance particularly well, either. He suggested finding a short song for our first dance, but nothing comes to mind at the moment. We both love pretty much all
kinds of music, but slow, sentimental, and short ones are kind of hard to think of.

Do any of you have suggestions?

I was interested in having a conversation about strippers and bachelor parties outside of the context of someone who is upset about it and looking for advice.

My fiance isn’t having a traditional bachelor party, but I do still get kind of fired up about the issue on my friends’ behalf. Several girls I know are horrified by their fiances’ bachelor party plans.

I am definitely…

So, a few months ago I knew I was going to get engaged and I started planning my wedding in my head and on The Knot. I already had a good idea of who my bridesmaids would be. I even told them that I would have them in the wedding. I was talking to my one friend about how I planned to include her. Not…

My brother is my best friend and he enjoys partying. However, he’s very concerned about my bachelor party because I told him there can’t be any strippers (nothing against the ladies, I’m just not interested) and I’m hardcore straight edge. So, since I’m not a party person, I’ve decided he can just have my party at a strip club or whatever and pretend to be…

Anyone else work in the legal industry? Morale just sucks right now. My fiance and I both work in the legal industry where both of our firms have just had massive layoffs. We both, fortunately, were spared. However, I have been uber-paranoid on a daily basis and wondering if all this money we are spending on the wedding is smart.

Has anyone experienced a layoff,…

Hi,

Like 70 million people out there, I have a Facebook account. I opened it to reconnect with high school friends more than anything. I don’t use it to post pictures or publish my life. And I have no problem with people that do any of those things either.

Nonetheless, I like my privacy, and FB has turned into a monster as I’ve become friends with people…

My fiance and I have been together for over 3 years. We fit together perfectly. We want all the same things in life and we are both ready to move on in life—get a house, get married, etc. There is one little catch. He loves children and I do not. I don’t like screaming, spoiled children. Well, not that he does, either. Anyway, I’m not…
