I take this cyberpal to be my bridesmaid

Brides-to-be swap ideas online, sympathize or simple chat, forging bonds faster than a flying bouquet.

Theknot.com is just one of several popular bridal Web sites. Others include brides.com and weddingchannel.com. Involvement often starts with a simple inquiry about a banquet hall or a video photographer. But as message boards turn into forums to discuss in-laws or to snipe at tacky boudoir pictures, women become dependent on them.

Some brides chat from their desks at work, others can’t go to bed before signing in one more time, some even tune out their fiancé’s voice while riveted to the computer.http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/04/fashion/weddings/04FIELD.html?ex=1367467200&en=162909fa61ed1c6a&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink
