The thing that struck me most about this was that, rather than just spew their own opinion for the public to digest, the author simply stated what the show was, posting MTV's description, and then posed the question for others to answer. The question in this case is
This show really brings to light a controversial question: Can you be too young to get married?The fellow posters do most of the opinion sharing, therefore this blog is an open discussion. In a way, it's more of a forum than a blog. Which brings up the question, where does a blog end and a forum begin? I think that's a question for another post on another day. These guys call themselves a blog, so I'm going to believe them.
On further review, this is a blog mostly devoted to planning weddings. It is a multi-author blog. Women name themsleves after fruits (Miss Apple) or flowers (Miss Daisy) and call their finaces Mr.chosen fruit/flower. They also often refer to their fiances as FI. This all kinda me want to puke. The more I think about weddings, the less I want one. Off topic... back to Weddingbee How to classify this blog? Maybe a hobby blog? But is wedding planning a hobby? It's not a profession, at least not for the bride, and this is a community of brides and brides-to-be. I guess it'd be a short-term hobby.
I guess the idea of a wedding planning blog isn't a bad idea. Women who are planning a wedding might want to bounce ideas off of people who don't know them, people who don't have any personal stock in the wedding. Her mother might think that a wedding dress is wrong... and maid of honor sis won't argue with mom, but an opinion of the dress from strangers might shed a differnt light. And maybe friends have heard enough of her wedding planning, and she needs a place to go to be a bride-to-be.
I really like the supportive attitude. This is more than just a blog, it's a community of fruits and flowers, all planning weddings, getting the advice from from Mrs. Bee, a professional in the wedding biz who, from what I gather, started the whole thing.
In today’s hive:She posts issues that need to be resolved and others that need help can post their questions.
GeLLiBeLLy wants to know what songs you chose for the ceremony and reception. She’s having a tough time selecting music.
sally wants to know how you let people know where you’re registered if you’re not having any showers, don’t have a website, and don’t put it in the invitations?
MissBluebear wants to know your opinion on groomsmen in suits rather than tuxes? What suit styles work best for a wedding party? The groomsmen suggested bowties with suits and she’s not sure how she feels about that. Also the best man has a tux he wants to wear, so will the groom and best man in tux, and 3 groomsmen in suits look weird?
Mindy is looking for a knottie bio that shows tons of fonts.
jen’s godmother is throwing her a shower - does she need to extend invitations to all of her fiance’s aunts/adult female cousins? They’re not close but she doesn’t want them to feel left out, or seem greedy for gifts. Advice?
iheartq wants to know is she’s responsible for all costs as the host of a bridal shower. She’s not the MOH but offered to host the shower, and the bride is inviting 50+ people. Would if be polite to ask the other girls to help contribute?

I really liked the way this "blog" was an open discussion. It's a supportive online community for newly engaged individuals to meet up with seasoned pros for advice and non-discriminatory discussion. I like the idea. I'm not a huge fan of wedding planning, but such blogs for other topics... golden.
