How did you...

find the nest? I am nosey and found it after seeing Kate Hudson with a magazine in Bride Wars and decided I wanted to know if it was real. I had never even heard of The Knot magazine before

Re: How did you...

  • I thinK I was helping my sister figure out wedding things and we were searching for favor ideas. I lurked around a little bit, looked briefly at military board bc I was dating my H back then. I came back when I was engaged looking for things and stuck around for the ladies. Lol.

    The Washington Post did a story on a local Knot board GTG, and since I'd just moved to DC and didn't know anyone there yet and was newly engaged I thought I'd look into the site.  That was nearly a decade ago, and I'm still here.

  • I came here through The Knot.

  • I started using The Knot when we got engaged- mostly for the website (didn't end up using it to be honest). Since I was signed up they automatically sent me an e-mail after the wedding encouraging me to explore The Nest. I recently ended up making a new account just for blogging and message boards though because I was sick of getting Knot e-mails. And now after all that here I am!
  • When I was in the first trimester of my pregnancy I was a nervous nelly and googled some symptoms which brought me to The Bump.  One day I was lurking on another board and someone mentioned boards on The Nest .

    Me too. A friend recommended The Knot to help with wedding planning. And I moved over from there shortly after we got married.

  • To be honest, I don't really remember. I used the Knot as a resource to help with wedding planning, but I never used the forums. I must have stumbled upon The Nest when I was bored.

  • I think.....*this is really hard to remember* that someone I knew in high school used the knot to create a wedding website and it just stuck in my mind after that. So then when I was starting to think about getting married I ended up back there and clicked through to the nest. The rest is history.

  • I found it while I was wedding planning.  Then I got active on my "local" to my DW board.  They were extremely helpful. 

    Add in underemployment, and I explored other boards.  Then I moved to Japan shortly and was completely bored and alone, so I found ways to interact online.  I think that's when I first switched over to nest world.

  • My BFF directed me to TK back when she was planning her first wedding.  I used it while planning my wedding a couple years after that.  Then, I moved onto TN and TB.
    I don't want to be on MSNBC, yo.
  • Used the Knot when I was wedding planning, moved on to the Nest after we got married, and then made the soul sucking move over to the Bump.  It all began four years ago.

  • Dh somehow stumbled across it. Lol. I think we were searching travel budget ideas and they had published an article. He sent me the link to read it, I trolled around and found MN. I wanted to post SO badly but back then there was the two day wait period. haha.

  • Two day wait period? What was that for?
  • I was on the knot, and they didn't even have the nest yet.  Then when they created the nest everyone that had been married (went by date of wedding in profile) was constantly redirected over here.  Made everyone made, lol.  The Nest didn't even have the Military Nesties board for the longest time.  So I really didn't come over to the nest all that often till they got the Miltary board.  But I have been on the knot/nest way too long!

    Two day wait period? What was that for?

    It helped reduce SPAM/Trolls/AEs because most people wouldn't come back after two days just to post their nonsense. I kind of miss the wait period now.

    That seemed like a good idea. I wonder why they stopped using it?

    I think they stopped when they did a format change and people got locked out of their accounts and created new ones. Or they wanted to increase traffic flow.

  • I'm opposite from most it seems lol I started on the Bump and came over here when I was bored one day. 
  • I was pregnant and alone (DH was deployed) so I googled pregnancy forums.  Then that made me want to blow my brains out (TB) and thankfully found a sane alternative (MN, ML).
    Shot first, questions later.
