True Bride Confessions
One little confession caused quite a stir on TrueBride this week, sparking debate over where it’s best to meet your future husband.
"I know it is horrible,” the confession read, “but I think people that meet their spouses online are lame. I'm so relieved I met mine in college."
We at TrueBride try our best to never judge anyone for her confession. The whole point of our site is to get those secrets off your chest! But some of our readers got fired up expressing their personal stance on College Flames vs. Virtual Lovers. Here’s what they had to say:
• “If I hadn't met my fiance on MySpace, I'd still be the same lonely girl I was. We knew after 3 weeks we'd end up getting married. I've never been this happy with anyone before.”
• “I was a complete idiot in college. I can't imagine how a marriage-made-in-college would have turned out! Sheesh! I was still a CHILD!”
• “I met him on MySpace...Deal with it! He is better then any other guy I have ever been with. I thank god everyday for MySpace! Love you, honey!!”
• “I went to college for my BFA, and got it! I met my soon to be husband in college as well. I call that luck. I work my ass off, and I am one of the only people in my graduating class to work full time in my field!!! And I just graduated this may (in exactly 4 years) and I am also only 22!! Fuck you and your MRS degree! Go do some more online dating!”
• “I met my husband on match.com. He's the most wonderful man I've ever met. We're both busy professionals, and don't have the time or inclination to hang out at bars, churches, or other places where people often meet. I shudder to think how hellish my life would have been if I'd married my college boyfriend. Ack.”
• “I met my DH online after he divorced his college sweetheart.”
Regardless of where they met their No. 1 Men, all our brides were trying their best to manage their impending Big Days with grace and poise. A couple of them, however, had some major challenges to overcome!
• “I was floored when my best friend said that she didn't want anything to do with my wedding because ‘I'm afraid I'll be killed by a terrorist.’ My family and I are Muslim. We live in Iowa. So you think people in my family are terrorists? You think I'm related to terrorists?? My mother can be pretty bitchy, but come on. I will no longer speak to her--I guess I didn't know her as well as I thought I did.”
• “I'm going deeply into debt for my wedding...I was wrong to assume that we would get any help from our families, and now we're paying for 150 people to eat and drink when we can't even pay the power bill. How did this happen?”
• “I HATE MY FUTURE MOTHER IN LAW!”
• “What if he’s not the one?”
We can’t answer that last one, but we can leave you with this woman’s very uplifting confession:
• “I can't wait to marry my fiance!! I was always attracted to ‘tall dark and handsome,’ my fiance is short, balding, and super cute. ;) But ya know what? He makes me laugh and I can't wait to have all his short lil babies! ;)”
So, hang in there, ladies! Through all the logistics, doubts, stress and personalities, eventually Prince Charming - in his many shapes and sizes – will still be the one waiting for you at the altar.
