  So far a surprising number of people there are saying most of the things we'd say about a PPD.
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  It's actually not that surprising really. I post on both forums and am always surprised at the number of times ladies on TK say that WW is full of people who support cash bars, bad etiquette, etc. I'm certainly NOT saying it never happens but for the most part, the two sites are usually on the same page. I think the main difference between the two is the moment anything becomes the least bit heated on WW, the mods take down the post completely, like it never happened, unlike here where all hell would have to break loose first. You'd be surprised at the responses over there. It's truly not as Pollyanna as many think. 

  
  

  ETA: Quote box is being an ass again.

  
  Either hell froze over or there has been a sudden influx of brides with brains (and a conscience) at WW. Far too many of us have had very opposite experiences over at WW so their sudden likemindedness is a surprise. But a good one!

  After 6 years and 2 boys, finally tying the knot on October 27th, 2013!

  For us, it actually worked out that we are getting married 2 years (not to the date of out dating anniversary, to be honest, I couldn't even tell you that, sometime in the summer of 2010), but to the date of our "engagement anniversary", August 7. All we knew was we wanted an August wedding, most of FIs family is coming in from Europe and in August they can come without having to take any vacation days, and we knew we wanted in early August because my sister (also my MoH) will be deployed mid-late August. So, in our case, it was not planned at all, but its a nice milestone for both of us, so I really can't complain

  I just don't get why people are obsessed with dates. Eva Longoria got married on 07/07/07 and that magic date didn't save her marriage. 

  
  

  Not dogging divorce because it is not a nice process to go through. I just wish we wouldn't romanticize our lives the way we do... especially around dates.

  
  

  Agreed. Or 11/11/11, etc etc. I think, like all other PP's , getting married on that day, or any random day is what makes in special. Not a coordinating string of numbers.

  This is reminding me of those things on Pinterest - the framed things that say "00/00/0000 first met, 00/00/0000 first date, 00/00/0000 fell in love, 00/00/0000 said yes!"
  

  Every time I see one of those, all I can think is "fell in love" is a euphemism for "had sex." So thanks for that Pinterest brideys. #vom #inmymouth

  Ha. My wedding website has "'Officially' and item - 00/00/0000", "engaged - 00/00/0000" and "wedding-00/00/0000." I don't remember the first time we said I love you, nor the day we met, nor does it really matter.
  

  
  

  Our dating anniversary is about 6 months before/after our wedding anniversary will be. Good excuse to celebrate twice. Although we just had it and FI made a much bigger deal of it than me, felt kind of silly to celebrate that when we'll have a wedding anniversary soon.

  
  

  acove2006 I think the WB is really the bad one and just no one really knows the difference between the two.
