I just read a rather harsh, but insightful article on slate.com. I'm currently engaged, with 10 months until the big day, so I've been working on a Wedding Website for our guests to check out and gather info on the groom and myself. I developed a sort of writer's block when it came to writing a bio or "get to know us" section. I felt like such a goober for lack of a better word. I've been trying to get my fiance to write his, but I think deep down he knows how lame it is and just doesn't want to hurt my feelings by telling me so.
This article pointed out how the modern age of facebook and online profiles tell the world everything they need to know about ourselves and takes away from personal communication and bonding. I have realized maybe I shouldn't cheapen real moments by listing every detail digitally. I would like to share facts about my fiance and myself such as how we met, the proposal story, to our closest family and friends in real life! I decided to just stick to listing our registries, a few engagement photos, directions, hotel accommodations, and things to do in the area. Besides, I don't want my friends and family laughing at how ridiculous I sound describing our relationship and how wonderful I think we are together
I'm just curious what other brides think about this issue? Let me hear your thoughts.
