The Days of Old: Favorite Knot Bios

November 24, 2008 in

I recently started thinking about how different my wedding would have been if I’d started planning now, rather than in early 2007. The culture on my local knot board, which is where I got most of my inspiration, is much different now than it was then.

When I started planning, I went on a knot bio bookmarking spree. I was inspired by almost everything I saw–everyone was so creative and unique, it seemed! I was blown away by the women who planned weddings for the Summer of 2007, and was constantly amazed my my fellow brides-to-be, who were at the same stage in planning as I was and kept coming up with creative ideas.

I am sure that there are a lot of current bride- and grooms-to-be who would love to be inspired, too. Maybe you guys have found some awesome bios lately (if so, please share them with me!), but I haven’t really (although I admit, I haven’t really been looking!). Anyway, here are the bios that I found most inspiring, plus a few of my friends.

2007 knotties who inspired me:

A few brides whose bios have disappeared (or their pictures are now too small to see) but I really loved: MrsHoya, lickaflea, blackcurrant, kayrose.

The brides-to-be in 2007 who ended up with awesome weddings:

purplewedding24 (married bio here)
charmeng
sfgirl75 (married bio here)
bloominautumn
tenfour (make sure to check out her giant table for all of her friends–what an awesome idea!)
soon2bwilcox (married photos here)
mooners
cathleya
happysigh
myfiancesbrave (married bio here)
californiaborn (married bio here)
palomahelm (married photos here)
tmconne (married photos here)

A few brides whose weddings turned out beautifully but didn’t update their bios (or I can’t find their bios)?, pearls&lace and bride2bJG.

Anyone else got any favorites to add?

Oh yeah! Thank you! I am the worst when it comes to finding good bios. I don’t have the patience. So thank you for helping me get a good start! PS I love the OY letters from your other post! Adorable!
Posted by bugaboo on 2010-07-05 11:57:27 I, too, planned during the 2007 wedding season. I thought it was only on the L.A. boards that the wedding culture had changed. Some notable bios to add to your list are: Mrs.Laker – planning bio http://community.theknot.com/cs/ks/user/page.aspx?username=lak3rgrl34 married bio http://community.theknot.com/cs/ks/user/page.aspx?username=mrslaker Pootiekins http://community.theknot.com/cs/ks/user/page.aspx?username=mrs.pootiekins WinnieW0917 http://community.theknot.com/cs/ks/user/page.aspx?username=winniew0917 DaPotato http://community.theknot.com/cs/ks/user/page.aspx?username=dapotato
Posted by Anne K. in L.A. on 2010-07-05 11:57:00 What a walk down memory lane! I can’t believe I made the list with my missing images! Eek! I did have a married bio, but it just has Ed’s images. http://community.theknot.com/cs/ks/user/page.aspx?username=10272007 Thanks for the honor!
Posted by Lisa D on 2010-07-05 11:56:14 Given the state of the appearance of my bio I’m shocked I made the cut. I think my bio has some good ideas in it. Unfortunately it’s all in asstastic html packaging. One of these days I still hope to update it, but I’ll never use the Knot html editor ever again…

Posted by Knot Jen on 2010-07-05 11:55:20 @KLM–you need to GET ON THAT, sister!! ;) @MsPurple–you crack me up. xmaswine’s photos are all super small. Why do they do that?! Sake’s are like that, too.
Posted by Stinkerpants on 2010-07-05 11:54:53 Good list! Especially that Purple girl…. the only one I would add would be xmaswine. I don’t know if her bio is current, but her photos made me cry!
Posted by MsPurple24 on 2010-07-05 11:54:25 Awww, that last list brings back memories! I still have a half-finished married bio on my computer somewhere … sigh.
