A Wedding Porn addict, that is. It's a term coined by Ariel of Offbeat Bride to describe the obsession that comes with planning a wedding: you jsut want to look at all weddings, all the time!
And it's true!! I stalk local photographer's blogs to find inspiration. I'm addicted to projectwedding.com. I love the forum at STLWed and all the girls (hi ladies!).
So, all you other wedding porn addicts, maybe we should start a 12-step program? Or does it fade once the wedding is over??
I was a major addict, but... I was cured after my wedding! For me, with all the stress at the end, I was ready for the planning to be over, and once I was married... the need for all things wedding, just went away.
ReplyDeleteI think once you've had your amazing day, the constant need to find all the newest ideas, isn't there anymore.
Now I am a home/decorating addict! Just replaced one addiction for another. :)
I still check STLWed every once in a while but I rarely spend more than five minutes on the site - something I never thought possible! After the wedding I was ready to move on. Of course it's hard when you are surrounded by other people who are just getting engaged or still planning their wedding. I like hearing about their ideas and seeing pictures but I don't envy the planning process, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteyes, you get cured after the wedding. but you still want to taste it after the wedding. i love it that we have at least 5 weddings in 2009. but i'm very happy that my wedding planning is over. now we can focus on other things.
ReplyDeletegood luck!
