Question regarding profile info...

As I'm reading some posts, I often check bride's info...just to see what vendors you're using. I noticed that many of you have taken out some of your vendor information like your halls, DJ's etc... Did something happen that made you remove your info? I was just wondering...

I always wonder that too!! Thanks for posting it. I love when i book a vendor and i plug it in. Why do people only share some vendors, and not others. Or your name?

This is one of my MAJOR pet peeves with this site. It annoys me when there are no names in the profiles or wedding dates of 2010!!!

I can accept people not wanting to share their vendor info ... but names & date I think should be required!!

I think people may do that so that they don't get harassed by vendors/telemarketers. I did it because I'm already married and have another screenname from when I was planning that I forgot the password for. Also, some people are weird about posting their personal info online for various reasons. My old fashioned mom bugged out on me for having a wedding website bc she said the entire public now knew when I'd be out of my house, leaving a perfect opportunity for robbery. People just don't trust the internet. I do and that's probably why my inbox was flooded with viruses this morning!

I sooo totally agree, especially brides who have already had their weddings, the reviews are soo important, because it gives you an opinion of someone who has already used the services... I wish more people would be more open..

I could be wrong, but I think that there may have been some negative posts regarding certain vendors. With this came some hurt feelings (understandably so) from brides who actually booked these vendors. So maybe they chose to erase their choices so as not to spark up those negative posts again?! I'm really not sure, but I love reading about everyones choices. It's an exciting time for all of us. If we all chose the same vendors, then it would be boring. I enjoy hearing about what made people choose their vendors.

I think it's mostly for privacy reasons or not having the information available when you registered at LIW and never going back to update it.

Too be truthful I was once tracked down by a vendor. I am very careful about what i post becuase of this. The person who did this no longer works for the vendor, but I will never forget how upset Fh and I were when this happened. I felt like I was being stalked. JMO

I know of a few people that did it because people they knew in real life came on and read what they were writing and it wasn't always received well.

Some people change it from MrsSoandSo2b to MrsSoandSo afther they are married.

Others decided they didn't like the one they originally chose

Come to think of it, vendors are calling my house an awful lot now that I'm planning my wedding. I'm on a no call list. I don't know HOW they got my number though. My phone number isn't listed on my LIWeddings account information. Where do you think they got it from??? I have to screen my calls all the time now.

Probably from your hall or other vendors.

To be honest, I've never gotten ANY unsolicited calls since I joined LIW.

It's so annoying. Not to mention the emails! I feel like changing my phone number.
