meeeeee!!!!
I was discovered on WB by my SIL, on which she found out I was having "pre-marital sex," then told my (very religious, conservative) parents, then my dad confronted me......
it was a nightmare!

@Rainbow Sprinkles: That is horrific!!!!
I followed some of the WB bloggers but never got involved in the boards there.

I did. I wasn't super active over there, but I did read the blogs and participated in the boards also. I wasn't someone who'd be recognized over there though lol I've been here for a very long time and only pop over there to read the boards if I have nothing else to do.

I was mostly a lurker on WB and only just came out of lurkdom on HB!

I read WB blog religiously during my wedding planning, but was never active on the boards. I actually heard about HB by following one of the WB bloggers' personal blogs.

Not directly. When I was on WeddingBee (2009), they were still saying they weren't going to do a baby site. Then much later I was on Pinterest and happened upon a link to HB, realized it was the same people, and I've been here ever since!

@littlebug: I think my experience was pretty much like yours!

I found out about the HB soft launch in 2011 via the Twitter accounts of a few WB bloggers. (None of whom are active here.)

Yep, although I posted in Nesting much more after getting married than before. WB is where I met my first due date mama's group and then we moved to Facebook and we've been together now for 3 years!

I was on Weddingbee before they had forums, 2005-2007. Then I found HelloBee several years later and I've been here ever since!

Yep! A little for planning our wedding 6 years ago, but mostly for the TTC and infertility boards.

I followed the posts of all the bloggers on WB and still follow a bunch on their personal blogs. I came to hellobee when they were still testing it and had to ask for an invite

Yep! I joined HB in the really early stages after hearing about it through WB. But I wasn't active here for a while.

I was heatherloveskenny on WB. I think I joined in 2009 after I got engaged? Maybe 2010?

Yep, I lurked on WB (never made an acct though ) and then came to HB, and decided to participate here

I did!! I was on weddingbee for a long time and then I came over here after I got married. In total, I probably spent about 6 - 7 years on the bee sites.

Me! But mostly on the Nesting boards when I was TTC E

Me! I was mostly on the "rings" board (ohhhhh the drama ) and then switched over to "nesting" once I got married. While on there, someone mentioned hello bee and I went to check it out. That was it!

@MrsBrewer: I do! And I don't even know if she knows that my parents confronted me about it. It was so awkward, and made for some not-so-great wedding planning. I was pretty much on my own, because my parents and I were on rocky terms for a while. But ..... oh well! It ended up working out in the end.

@Torchwood: ditto, although I think I found HB in a random Google search for some type of baby gear.

@simplyfelicity: Haha I can't possibly imagine what drama there is in the rings board, lol! That stuff just seems soooo faaaar away now...

I did! Can't remember what my username was over there, though.

@snowjewelz: There was tons of drama (not that I was a part of it) about having a diamond simulant and passing it off as one. It was pretty funny.

Yep! I did.
I blogged our wedding there, and we started out on the Babies board (before there were specific TTC boards) but moved over here when we were in our infertility battle.

Actually, I got married in May, so my timehop is currently full of wedding plans, with lots of references to WB!
honeydew / 7622 posts
Nope. I got married 10 years ago- and my wedding planning forum was on Craigslist before it was weird/scary. We even did meet ups.

@Rainbow Sprinkles: Wth. Your sister IN LAW told your parents?? I feel like that's one thing for a sister to talk to one's parents about - but a SIL?! That's crazy and just completely not even close to being her business or a topic of a discussion to have with someone else's parents. I would have been livid.

I was, with the same name. I haven't been on since my wedding though.
