TheKnot=Facebook for brides....

My FH and I went today to meet with a photographer. When he asked me how we learned of their studio, I told him from TheKnot. His words??? "Oh, the Facebook for brides." I thought that was pretty funny. I never thought of it that way, but if you think about it, it's kinda true. LOL!!
And the whole time, my future husband was in the room...... image image

Re: TheKnot=Facebook for brides....

  • haha I used to be addicted to facebook and now I am addicted to the knot!
  • I completely agree.  I was absolutely addicted to facebook, but not I'm hardly on it because I'm always on The Knot!
  • SO TRUE!  I've been on them, one right after the other... they both gotta be checked...LOL!

    I haven't been on FB in so long. Now I'm always on TK. So much better here.
  • It's totally true!

  • Ha!  I never thought about it that way, but he's pretty right.  Spot-on I'd say!
  • Ha ha my wedding month as a group on facebook. So we are either here or there.
  • I guess you can sorta call it that- but I see it as more of a chatting and ideas rather than status updates and wall posts.

    Yes, the networking idea is there, but they are very different.
    dont make ur password so easy. gbck2CA2 hahahaha
  • Ha, Ha.  So true.  I have completely neglected my FB page since joining the knot!
  • One thing that I've noticed about myself is that I don't have all of those annoying wedding posts on my FB page. It drives me crazy when people do that (see STFU Marrieds and STFU Parents), so I can get all of my "wedding-ing" out of the way, check FB and come back here for more wedding stuff!

  • I'm addicted to both because one of my boards has formed it's own FB group.

  • I can't even tell you how many FB statuses I have posted that said something similar to "I'm addicted to TheKnot.com."
  • I know I am probably clueless here but how do I get my wedding ticker to show up in my posts? 
  • I agree, I find myself more on TK than on facebook.  I just hope my work doesn't block the website like they've done with facebook!  THEN what will I do all day!?!?
  • Agreed - I'm always on TK! When FI calls and asks what I'm doing I usually say "I'm on the boards!" I feel like we each have a wedding addiction and TK is our enabler!

  • Ha ha, so true!! Lots of great ideas on TK; it's my "me" time whenever I have a spare moment. ;)
  • He definitely hit the nail on the head there. Im on the Knot everyday whenever I get a chance.Tongue out
  • That is funny! I'm equally addicted to both though, because none of my friends use The Knot.
  • Oh my gosh I totally agree! My fiance teases me all the time about my addiction to the knot and how i take everything as gospel on here. I can't even deny it lol!
  • The knot is so useful.  I love the different tools that you can use, and the checklists keep me on point.  The thing that keeps me coming back is the Classifieds for brides, also on the Nest they have Trash to Treasure.  Amazing!!  I end up checking these two chat posts once a day for good wedding deals.
  • I was just talking to my fiance about how very much I love my knot and my community page and pretty much how obsessed I am with checking on new ideas and seeing if people liked our ideas! =)

  • That's so funny because my cousin just got engaged last week and I told her when I found out that she needs to join The Knot because it's like facebook for brides! I love this site - I'm obsessed with reading the boards more than anything! Ha ha!
