I think its time that my dirty little secret comes out of the closet. I am hooked, I am addict, I need a fix every day. I am addicted to wedding porn.
How did I know that I had a problem? When I promised myself that I would stop subscribing to wedding blogs on Google Reader at 15 subscriptions and here I am just having added my 30th today! When I wake up in the morning I reach straight for that Iphone to see the latest blog updates and before I go to bed at night I check for new feeds and may reread the posts from earlier. It is a running joke with my fiance that I love the Google Reader more than anything else in the world. And that my friend I do not find amusing, because in every joke and the phrase "I'm just kidding" is a grain of truth.
And it was so easy to get to this point. The pictures are so beautiful and colorful (damn it! its called eye candy on all the blogs for goodness sake), it appeals to a woman's inherent desire to admire and aspire towards having pretty things (like shoes, dresses, gifts, etc), it taps into an emotional nerve so that you can vicariously live through others and experience a wedding day through pictures and stories over and over again, should I go on?
I have tried to wean myself off but to no avail. I am hoping that on my cruise next week I am able to curtail my habit. But will I be back here again in a couple of months? Will my Google reader wedding subscriptions go even higher?
Pray for me.
