It’s like eavesdropping, but better

I don’t know how I feel about LiveJournal as an entity. The folks with informational blogs tend to steer clear of this site — those that gravitate toward it are typically the people looking to make online diaries. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I do, however, love the communities. Browsing those that list ‘weddings’ as an interest (whatudo2havesex and yap_yap and all the defunct groups aside), I found some great ones.
A community for cake decorators! – It’s fun to lurk around in this aptly named community. The recipes and the photographs are awesome.
Out · of · the · ordinary · weddings! – This is a wonderful archive of funky and unusual wedding ideas. Well, not *that* funky. The ladies who post in this community tend to know what’s what when it comes to style.
Wedding Pictures – Okay, this is getting ridiculous. But while this community could use a wittier title, it does deliver what it promises…wedding photos and lots of ‘em. Want more? The main poster in the community has his home-base here. But wait, there’s even more!
Wedding plans – From rants to advice to pictures to dresses to undies, this plainspoken community has it all.
Young Weddings – Just want to peak into the world of other people’s weddings? Look no further than this community where most posts are of the name, age, wedding date, role, etc. variety. Same goes for Weddings Away: The Destination Weddings Community.
Prefer your wedding stories to be paper-bound and heavily edited for both content and grammar? Then turn off your machine and snuggle in with Chicken Soup for the Bride’s Soul: Stories of Love, Laughter and Commitment to Last a Lifetime. You won’t find any rants, however. The stories in this book are about as heartwarming as you can get.
