Hi! This is your moderator, 
nurse2k. In the plans of planning my wedding I found that just about every geographical area had a bridal section but good old Upstate NY. Here is where we have our say in local ideas, thoughts, and rants of the process of planning a wedding :-)
--It should be noted that while this community is named upstateny_bride, grooms are most welcome to join, too! :) Also, even though this is a resource for those of us in Upstate NY, please feel free to recommend a good national vendor you've seen online! If someone needs a good place to buy cheap invitations (for example,) and you happened to buy yours from an online outlet that happens to be based in California, go ahead and suggest it! This community's all about making life a little bit easier (and weddings a little less stressful) for all of us!
-------
Basic Rules of the Community:
These rules are pretty standard, but I do ask that we all abide by them. If you have any questions regarding these rules, please e-mail the moderator. Thank you!
1. Spam WILL NOT be tolerated. For now, spam will be defined as any post completely off the topic of planning weddings, and/or advertisements for venues/businesses that do not service Upstate NY. (For example, don't advertise for a vendor in Manhattan that doesn't have a website and isn't willing to deliver their goods Upstate.) E-bay auctions that are wedding related are allowed, but please hide them behind a LJ cut! You may also recommend other wedding-related communities, but only if they are pertinent to Upstate NY. Spammers will be immediately banned without warning.
2. No Drama. Drama in this community will not be tolerated, and drama initiators (and drama inflamers,) will be banned without warning. If you find something or someone personally annoying, ignore them. It should also be noted here that people who are planning all sorts of non-traditional weddings and ceremonies are welcome here. If these kinds of ceremonies make you uncomfortable, please just ignore the posts that refer to non-traditional weddings and all aspects thereof. Thank you.
3. Please post all long URL's, long posts, and pictures behind a LJ cut. This includes quiz results! Nobody likes it when their friends page takes too long to load, or when it's dominated by something that they may not have any interest in. Thank you in advance for being considerate.
4. Anyone caught personally attacking another member will be banned. This sort of ties in with Rule #2, but this sort of thing will not be tolerated at all. I'd like this to be a helpful and polite community. If you can't respectfully disagree with someone or express the fact that something is not your style in a civil manner, please don't ask to be allowed to post again in this community. This rule basically translates into "Treat others as you would like to be treated." Thanks.
5. Please do not post pictures or use an icon that contains nudity. This one's pretty self-explanatory, I think.

Intro. Survey
Lots of people really like filling out these intro. surveys to wedding related communities! I have to admit, it really does get the ball rolling in a lot of cases. So feel free to fill this out and post it as a hello to the rest of us!
