People who are reading this blog may be wondering about the author, me. So I guess I should write a post about me right?
Two years ago I was asked to be a bridesmaid in a wedding. The bride also invited me to join "WeddingBook" on facebook. So I did. Having never been in a wedding before, I didn't know much about what they were all about but I was interested. This is where stalking the WB forums comes in. These brides over-share about everything! Almost all of them use their full REAL names on this very PUBLIC forum! You can google someone's name and read all of the posts they have written on WB! Sometimes I wonder if the girls that really fight with everyone or the girls that get picked on all of the time ever have problems with the other girls tracking them down and harassing them. I would be scared that something I posted could be taken as offensive and before I knew it a gang of stressed out crazy brides would be at my door to beat me up and throw my computer out the window! I'm serious. Some of the WBers seem to really hate each other. Most of the WBers seem pretty laid back though. So if you use WB continue using it so I can continue to forum stalk.
So needless to say I do use facebook, but I never post on WB! However, I do read WB a lot! It is addicting like a reality TV show. You get to know people who post a lot, even though they have no idea you exist. Then you keep coming back to watch the main "characters." It is hard to remember they are actually real people sometimes. I also really like looking at all of the wedding ideas, but I'm not even engaged yet!
So why the blog? Well like I said before I don't post on WB. Instead, I just read it. So sometimes I want to comment on a post or chat with others about it anonymously, even though sometimes I think a blog is too public too. I also think some of the ideas are great and should be viewed by more than just people who have facebook. Plus, I feel weird sharing all of these wedding ideas with my friends because I am not even close to getting engaged. It is embarrassing how into weddings I am.Hence the blog.
