Do Blogs Ruin the Surprise?

So, I started to think about the fact that often times people like to go to weddings for various reasons. However, one reason in particular is really just to point out what they like or do not like about the wedding. "Oh my goodness did you see those dresses!" and so on. So, I started to wonder about the lack of surprise that a blog can create (for those who actually read the blogs) for a wedding. For instance, there are probably about a million wedding blogs out there, some for the wedding vendors where they communicate items for sale, and other blogs are from the millions of brides like me! Do guests who read the brides blogs get a sense of disappointment when they arrive at the wedding, just to see everything that they had read about? Meaning, should the blogs really be more for venting and brainstorming rather than revealing? Should the actual weddings still present some sense of excitement and curiousity and not give every little detail away?

I guess for me, I wouldn't want everyone to read about every detail of the wedding...I want them to come and experience it for themselves! I mean a lot of thought, sweat, and work goes into putting together a wedding and your guests should get to enjoy some of the "surprise" elements (if you will)! Of course the frustrating thing is that there are a lot of little details, that will mostly go unrecognized until the photographer captures it and you share the images with everyone post-wedding. It's also difficult because you are so excited about what you chose and so excited about what you found that you want to share with everyone! Plus, you spend so long planning out everything that to stay on track and motivated you kind of have to share some things...right?
