The Pinterest Wedding Board

Disclaimer: this is not meant to rag on anyone who has one of these. They're a great way to organize ideas, especially if you're engaged. This is merely meant to rag on some of the ideas that you see posted every so often :)

I love Pinterest. It's flipping awesome. As I have become older and wiser and increasingly interested in how to decorate my apartment/living space, Pinterest has become a valuable source of inspiration. Plus I get to arrange all the pictures into different boards for the office, the bedroom, the living room, etc. I'm a nut. 

What I've gotten a little creeped out about are some of the wedding ideas that I see floating around out there (my cousin/big sister is getting married in September so there's my reason for even looking in the first place). There's some really cheesy shit out there. Like this gem: "write a love letter every day during the engagement and give it to your husband on the day of the wedding." I'm sorry, but what guy would like that?! There's a lot of sappy things like that, and every time I ask that same question. Ideas like that sound like stuff girls like/wish their significant other would do for them... really doesn't strike me as something a guy would be thrilled to get.

This picture also confused/amused me. They are reading love notes that the other wrote prior to the ceremony. The prospective groom's face compared to the bride's... I'm sorry I just don't think guys are as sappy as us ladies. I don't think they will appreciate silly things such as a 300 page book of love letters. It's like a girl sending flowers to a guy, she's doing something that she wishes he would do for her. This is how I take it. 

One final thought: all the little things that seem to go into weddings, all those overwhelming details you see on pinterest? Makes me want to elope.
