POLL: When did you join Knot/Nest/Bump?

[finally]

Just curious when everyone first joined.

[Deleted]

I joined in college when I was bored and dreaming of weddings (and had just met DH, haha, I was a dork, but evidently prescient because we did get married 7 years later). It was the late 90s or really early 2000s I think (I voted before 2001). Did anyone else join back when they sent out a box of wedding crap when you signed up? Or do they still do that? I got some huge box of wedding-related crap at my campus mail room. I had to go to the window and get it. I was sooo embarrassed.

ETA: I didn't return to TK after that until 2003ish, when we actually decided to get married.

I joined The Knot last year, a few months after getting engaged. They didn't send me a box of free stuff I recently stopped using it cuz I got married in Oct and don't care that much about weddings to keep posting.

2003 when I got married. I'm an old lady now, though I was what is considered a beebe bride then (I was 19

2005 when wedding planning.
I'm still friends with a bunch of the girls planning weddings in Toledo at that same time. Pretty cool.

2001 - when we got engaged

[TBM]

I have been around since 2001 when my youngest daughter got married. I was more of a lurker then, and only on boards that I knew that she wasn't on. I became much more active after her wedding, when my oldest daughter and her H (then fiance) set a date for their wedding (July 2004) and she 'hired me' as her wedding planner, and stayed on TK after the wedding.

I was on the pet boards after we lost our sweet lab mix and got our first Chinese Crested pup in 2005, and that became my main board, then I was on baby boards (pre bump by a long shot), after oldest daughter got pregnant with my first grandson later the same year (she 'hired' me to be her nursery decorator and baby item scouter too...laziest mom to be ever.lol). I mostly lurked on the decorating board, but was around, and started posting on the cooking board the very first day it appeared.

I joined in like 2004 when I thought my (ex)BF and I were going to get married because we were in LUV! That ended and then I met my H and then WE got married instead. (I wasn't just desperate to get married, just worked out that way haha.) We got married in '06 and I think I migrated over to TN around that time? I spent a little time on The Bump, but not much.

I joined TK in 2006 while wedding planning. I never loved my local board and was mostly a lurker. I ventured over to TN-D&R was my home board around 2007 and have been around off and on ever since.

I joined TK in late 2007 when we got engaged. I didn't start really posting on the board until 2008 though when I actually got moving on wedding planning. (we had a long engagement)

I'm still friends with a bunch of girls from my local. We've had fun throwing each other baby showers and stuff as everybody has started having kids.

I lurked on TK in 2005 when helping a friend plan her wedding, but never posted.

I officially joined TK and started posting in 2007 when planning my own wedding. I was almost exclusively on my local board, though.

Got married in 2008 and hung around my local TK board for awhile before transitioning to TN later that year. I was mostly on my local board until recently, just started posting on national boards in the last 6-8 months. My local board used to be active, but it is pretty much dead now, on GBCN and TN.

I'm in the process of relocating now, and wish my new local board was more active, but it appears pretty much dead too. I need local recommendations because I know no one in my new city :-) Anyone here from central OH? If so, let's talk!

2008 - Right after I got married. D&R helped this newbie housewife SOOO much. I learned all about cooking dinner, organizing...you name it! ha!

[pamela]

I joined the knot in 2003 or 2004 when I was engaged the first time. That ended up not working out (probably a good thing since he know works in the Obama adminstration). That's why my username there had 05 after it because that's when we were going to get married.

[mrs.jacinthe]

I joined the Knot in 2005, I think? I was on the Nest since 2007.

[bg09]

I joined TK at the end of 2008/early 2009 after getting engaged. I was under a diff username at the time (mrs"soontobelastname"). After getting married in 09 I switched to TN, but have never really posted too much. The board I was mostly on was D&R, and now I'm here!

Oops, edited to remove the yawning emoticon. Was using my phone and must have accidently touched it! I don't think this is a boring post! haha
