Good Morning, ladies! Hope you are enjoying your weekends! I've really enjoyed being the BOTW this week, developing/researching the questions and reading all of your answers! I want to thank Kelley, once again for picking me for BOTW. I'll be posing the next BOTW later in the day!
My final question is all about our latest addicition...LIWeddings! I can't take credit for this one, I found it on the 2011 board. Here it is:
How did you find out about LIW? Where you at one point a lurker? What made you join?
Are you a day or night LIWer? (what time are you usually on and for how long?) How long after you got engaged did you sign up?
What is your favorite part about the site? What does FH think of the site and/or your addicition? What do your friends/family think about the site and your cyber friends?
Are you going to miss the planning when it is all over or be relieved? Do you see yourself still on the site as a newlywed?

Re: ~*~*~*~QOTD 6/26~*~*~*~
Oooops....forgot to add my answer!
I found out about LIW from friends of mine who got married a few years ago and used this site religously while planning their weddings. I joined once I knew I was going to get married in NY and at first I lurked a bit, but began posting regularly once I had my reception hall and church booked.
I signed up a couple of weeks after I got engaged. I am usually on LIW in the morning and in the evening, but if I'm home during the day, the site page is always open on my laptop
My favorite part of this site is sharing ideas and discussing weddings with you ladies. It so great how we are able to share wedding info and bounce ideas off of each other. FH thinks its funny how much I'm on this site, but doesn't get annoyed by it, since he knows how helpful it to planning our wedding. I don't really share much of LIW with friends and family, only any great advice of info I recieve, they think its silly, but they just don't understand how helpful it really is.
I think I will miss the planning and definitely the anticipation for the wedding day. I will probably stay on the site to see all of the 2012 girls get married!

Re: ~*~*~*~QOTD 6/26~*~*~*~
I got engaged in February and became an LIW'er in March. I happened up the site just by researching wedding stuff on google and past posts from the website would come up.
When I first joined I didn't really check it out to much. Then a friend of mine (a 2011 Bride) tole me how much great advice she got from LIW. I lurked at first trying to grasp how it worked but figured it out and became a participant.
FH thinks I have an addiction- I am on all the time! Night , day any chance I get! I LOVE THIS SITE!
My favorite part is the Brides review.

Re: ~*~*~*~QOTD 6/26~*~*~*~
I found out about LIW from my friend- I didn't really go on it until I got engaged-this site is sooo helpful because I was completely clueless! I usually go on during the week during the day while I'm at work at then randomly over the weekend
Fav part- the 2012 board!....I will miss the site when its all over- I'll stay on for a while as a newlywed though!

Re: ~*~*~*~QOTD 6/26~*~*~*~
How did you find out about LIW? Where you at one point a lurker? What made you join? I wated to go to a showcase and i found one online but i had to register for liweddings to go to the showcase so i did!
Are you a day or night LIWer? (what time are you usually on and for how long?) How long after you got engaged did you sign up? I'm a random poster..when i have time during the week/month i do this as a relief/fun :)
What is your favorite part about the site? What does FH think of the site and/or your addicition? What do your friends/family think about the site and your cyber friends? I like the timeline the best - it helps me feel like i'm staying on top of things. And the budget calculator - even though i dont like the high numbers
Are you going to miss the planning when it is all over or be relieved? Do you see yourself still on the site as a newlywed? Miss planning?- i dont think so because i know i will always stay busy with something, and yes i will stay on as a newlywed for a bit

I found out about it just by searching for wedding venues online. I was a lurker at one point before I was actually engaged lol, not sure why I joined when I did.
Are you a day or night LIWer? (what time are you usually on and for how long?) How long after you got engaged did you sign up?
Usually afternoon and late night. I signed up for LIW before I got engaged (only by a few weeks). I guess I have good intuition?

I love the great resource it is and the support. FH thinks I'm crazy!

YES I am going to miss planning. I will probably still be here!

I used to be more of a night LIWer, but since the summer started, I have been on it too much, pretty much any time.

Love the Brides Review. Also just love how quickly everybody responds, other sites you wait days for an answer, here you wait minutes (sometimes seconds!). FH likes this site, not actually reading it but that I can talk to other people about stuff. He thinks all of the abbreviations are silly (FH, RH, STD, etc.). I haven't really talked to my friends about this site. Most of them are married already.

I am definitely going to miss this site. I can't remember what I used to look at on the net anymore. I just don't know how much there will be to talk about once I am married.

So many questions!
1. I found LIW by looking at reviews for my RH. I lurked for a little bit until we officially decided that it would be 2012 that we get married and not 2013.
2. I love the girls here and how supportive they are. Also the millions of ideas that are shared here that I would have never thought of. My FH thinks that my addiction is good and glad that I have alot of help from you girls. My friends don't really understand it.
3. I will miss planning like crazy! Maybe I should be a wedding planner! I will try to stay on as long as I can.

Re: ~*~*~*~QOTD 6/26~*~*~*~
How did you find out about LIW? Where you at one point a lurker? What made you join? A friend of mine told me about the site. I did lurk for a little before I got engaged but didn't start posting until after our engagement. It just seemed like an informative site and I liked being able to talk to other brides and share ideas/plans, etc.
Are you a day or night LIWer? (what time are you usually on and for how long?) How long after you got engaged did you sign up? I post whenever I have the chance to. Daytime is difficult because of work so I'm usually on in the evening. I didn't waste any time signing up... I joined a week after FH and I got engaged.
What is your favorite part about the site? What does FH think of the site and/or your addicition? What do your friends/family think about the site and your cyber friends? I love the 2012 board. FH makes fun of me for posting and going to the G2G's but he was reading over my shoulder earlier today
Are you going to miss the planning when it is all over or be relieved? Do you see yourself still on the site as a newlywed? I don't think I'll miss the planning at all. I'll miss the day itself but definitely not all of the time that has gone into it. I'll prob. check the newlywed board out but won't be on as much as I am now.

I found out about the site from a coustomer/friend of mine. I was no t a lurker. I joined casue my friend said it was a great site ti help with the planning
I go on and off the site all day when I can. The time I go on and how long I stay on depends on the day. I signed up almost right way.
Fave part of the site is gettin different ideas in the planning process. Fh / friends have not really said anything, but mom has come up with a few things for me to ask.
I think I will miss the site. I may go as a newlywed. maybe i will look at brides helpin brides and help them
