New contest not fair for Newlyweds

In order to be entered in the diamond heart necklace contest, we have to go to bridal expos....



Umm...I am married....

I will not be at any more expos

I know....oh well.

We have our hubbies!! That's reward enough for me!!

Maybe the next contest will be for our DHs to write in about why we are good wives and why they are thankful for LIW!!

It is certainly not fair. I think we are treated like second class citizens.

I don't think you guys realize that this website is Long Island Weddings. The main purpose of this website is wedding planning. It seems that a lot of people that think this website is just the forums but there's a lot more to it. Newlyweds have just one board on the entire site. Sure, they should do a contest for us but I don't think it's 'unfair' for them to do a contest for brides-to-be.

I do not think its un-fair to have a contest for brides-to-be, but I do not think its fair to exclude those of us who are married....thats all.

Exactly. They've done plenty of contests that include us... it just seems like kind of a slap in the face being that we newlyweds have been asking for a contest for awhile and it just so happens that the very next contest so obviously excludes us.

And why should we have to wait for LIFamilies to come up in order to get a contest? We've been a huge part of THIS site and our loyalty lies HERE.... it's OUR recommendations, photos, referrals, and reviews that continue to bring business to the vendors that help support this site...

I feel like once you get married on here you are only useful for information for brides to be. All of the fun things seem to be geared towards them and we are all left in the dark.

Very well put...although this site is for brides-to-be, we, newlyweds are great resources for them. There's no reason we should be discluded.

Exactly, there is no information as valuable to a bride planning her wedding than someone who has already been thru it and used the vendors etc... Everyone has an opinion on which vendor to use, but I wouldn't take anyone's opinion as seriously unless they were a newlywed
