Hi!

I was hoping to submit my wedding, but I can't seem to get the link to work, any suggestions?

Thanks

I wanted to say thank you so much for putting this all together in one place. This has been an amazing resource for me. I've also realized, here, that I'm not as strange as I thought I was. Reading other stories, and seeing all the wonderful photos, has helped me execute my own wonderful ideas. I'm happy to see so many happy couples expressing their joy in this sometimes extremely stressful world of wedding planning! I will be reading this blog long after I'm married. Thank you again!

I have to say, for myself, I was really surprised to have my wedding featured on OBB, especially so soon after. I submitted my stuff with no expectation ( or I might have written my profile better). I dont compare my wedding to other peoples, and all though I would never have had say, a LARP wedding, I dont begrudge those who do, its their thing. The whole " youre wedding is not a contest" thing is something I think new brides need to be reminded of more often here and on OBT.

I was turned onto this site after posting a comment to an unrelated blog about how wedding dresses are made WAY too small, (especially for a gal sporting 42DDs) and the last thing a bride needs is to feel like a whale while planning her wedding. One of my fellow posters put up a link to your site.
I canÃ¨t thank them enough – if I knew where they lived, I would invite them to my wedding! LOL
This is a fantastic resource – for as much as I feel like I'm more traditional than I thought, I realize that your 'standard' wedding will not suit my groom and I.
Thank you SO mush for the site, I'll highly recommend it whether I ever get featured or not.

I'm kind of curious to know what the few weddings that *did* make you go "Nope, I'd never feature this, ever" were like…

Missy, thank you so much — and you're so right! This is such a luxurious challenge to have, just like the it's a luxury for the OBT getting so popular that it's confusing to navigate and extremely difficult to moderate. I started Offbeat Bride and the OBT as niche community … and now they've grown and I'm having some issues scaling my tools and procedures! Luxurious challenges, but challenges to be sure!

Ariel,

I just wanted to say how awesome it is to have this "problem" with your readers! I know that sounds funny, but from where I stand, it is one "high class problem" to have too many readers all wanting their wedding posted. That is pretty cool! You and your blog are a wonderful success and I just wanted to say congrats!

Thank you for your work and sharing with us your process. I am new to your site (July 09 wedding date) and am very grateful for its existence. I get so many ideas from all the weddings featured. Good luck.

i'm totally up for seeing MORE weddings (four times a week or even five), so if you have the time and you think it will help, just post more! XD
