Why I am glad Offbeat Bride is my main exposure to wedding media
Unfortunately, there is no other website like the this one. No one provides the no bullshit point of view that you get here. When someone on other wedding blogs says “Your wedding is wrong!” they aren’t saying it in a “but that’s totally okay, and who cares” sort of way, like you get here.

I was wondering if anyone has tackled the question of having wedding paraphernalia (e.g. magazines, etc.) in the home of a pre-engaged couple, if said couple has talked about marriage.

And those that say “Don’t show him! You’ll scare him!” I’m curious to know everyone’s thoughts on this topic.

Oh, Wedding Industry, I know you think they’re funny. But they’re not. They’re passive aggressive and mean-spirited and downright hurtful.

Give the video two minutes, and behold the full-frontal mind-fuck that bridal magazines can pull on ANYONE. “Ooh, this one looks like a grotto! Like a magical fairy mermaid grotto…”
