Of course she has some ‘super cool alternative’ wedding plans that feel ‘so us’ because of course her wedding needs to be better than everyone else’s in the world because she’s so much better than us all.

oh eff offfffffff. Everyone who plans a wedding wants something different. Of course you don't want the same things as everyone else when it's your special day... except some people can't afford to spend £20k+ on 'super cool alternative' shite which will probably be gifted anyway.

She definitely said somewhere she 'solo' travelled!!! I have a friend who travelled to East Asia on a group tour and after being with them for 3 months she split off and travelled on her own, but only for short periods of time before meeting up with people she knew.

I would love to properly travel with my husband and it's definitely not something I would hide!!!

Also, I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion or not, but I never ever wanted to choose my own engagement ring... I think it's so special to have your future husband pick something like that for you that you will *hopefully* wear for the rest of your life. I loved choosing my wedding band, but there's no way I'd want to pick my engagement ring. Imagine if you picked something and it was out of their budget?!! How mortifying would that be?!

I chose my own only has my husband NEVER goes to shops and he said he had no idea and didn't want to spend a lot of money on something for me to then not like it. So we went shopping together after he proposed and it was a really lovely experience. The shop assistant asked my husband the budget and he wrote it down so I didn't hear. She asked me what sort of thing I like, and my husband what he liked and we went through them together, with me trying them on etc. My only downside to this was that I was engaged and had no ring to "show off" for a week or two.

Sure, totally get that. It's the way she described her ideas as 'super cool and alternative'. What are the different ideas that other people have? Clearly not as super cool and alternative as hers. To me, she just gives off a vibe that she thinks she is so much better and more special than everybody else.
 
One thing that has annoyed me so much about influencers recently is that they, especially Beth, went mad posting about BLM but now Boohoo are actually facing allegations of modern day slavery, and exploiting BAME workers, and everyone is silent. Getting gifted free cheap tat from Boohoo (who own Nasty Gal, Miss Pap and PLT) is their bread and butter. Disgusting. It's been in the news for days but seen nothing from anybody - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-53305006

By ‘super cool and alternative’, she means a boho theme wedding? 🤣 she thinks she’s so bleeping original it really grinds my gears!

Here is her caption for anyone who doesn't follow her. Perhaps she found out earlier on in her pregnancy that she'd miscarried? My heart does go out to her as she's had two miscarriages and her Nan passed away but why is she SO OBSESSED with sharing everything? Oh I know. She's an attention seeker.

While there are things about her that irritate me, I don’t think talking about her miscarriage is attention seeking. I had a miscarriage some years ago, and it was devastating, but I didn’t feel like I could talk openly about it, or even know how to. I felt ashamed. It’s something people don’t generally talk about, which leads to a lot of women suffering in silence. By making it public, she’s helped me come to terms with it better, that talking about it isn’t a bad thing and that there shouldn’t be stigma attached to it. As heartbreaking as miscarriage is, finding people who have also experienced it has really helped me, and many others. I appreciate it when women with any kind of platform spread awareness of miscarriage and just how common it is, and that we’re not alone. Yes, we can talk about it privately, but we shouldn’t have to keep it private, and if speaking about it helps just one other person, I’m all for it.

I’m glad it helped you, I’ve had two miscarriages and chose not to use them for content but equally feel I can talk about it If I want to.
 
I think it is more the fact that she uses her miscarriages for content, hashtag-ing about it just doesn't sit right with me. I think there are ways she could talk about it in a far better way. Instead it just feels like attention seeking with her, everything does to be honest which is why I don't like her. But I just find it so tasteless and says a lot about her as a person that she would play on it for content and engagement.
 
I am slightly older than Beth and it just blows me away she is so ready for a baby, obviously he partner is older but it makes me wonder if she isn’t just wanting to be a stay at home mum (there’s nothing wrong with that)

A lot of influencers do things at a fast pace. Plus mummy blogger life can be quite lucrative so it’s not like her work would stop if she did have babies quite young, she might even be more successful

I know, I’m half thinking it’ll be sponsored or she’ll have got a press discount and do a blog post all about it.....

It wouldn't surprise me

It's up!!!! Not my chosen style, but I'm glad she loves it, having chosen (or designed) it herself! 💍
