Four Weddings on TLC

I used to watch this show and yeah, mostly what I got out of it was what a colossal waste of money weddings can be. 30,000 doesn't get you much at all.

Did you see the one that cost, I think 200,000 and the bride was miserable throughout? She didn't even win the free honeymoon.

My favorite part is always the food!

I love seeing the diffrerent cocktail hours and main courses being served.

I think I would love to become a wedding planner.

Every bitch on that show has been tacky as fuck in some way or another and I live for it!!!

I especially like to check out the husbands. Some of them are hot!

One of my favorites was the ex-Chippendale dancer from NYC.

He was 53 years old, but still one of the better looking husbands on the show.

This wedding cost $55,000. *faints*

She could have put a major down payment on a house, for that kind of money.

How foolish.

Almost every single wedding on this show offered either beef, chicken, or fish as an entree.

BO-RING!

I just saw an episode with the best and worst weddings in one show!

The best was a 40-ish couple who had a Winter Wonderland wedding, complete with an elegant wedding ceremony, cocktail hour with three different "waves of service" starting with a carving station, then asian/sushi station, then a seafood station with lobster and crab legs.

The bride and groom made an entrance down a spiral staircase, into a huge ballroom reception. They did their first dance with "snow" falling around them, which was beautiful.

The reception featured filet mignon, chicken, and a veggie dish, followed by an incredible dessert room which was introduced by sliding glass doors.

Clearly, this couple could afford such a wedding.

Then there was this pitiful lesbian couple with a 10,000 dollar budget.

The "bride" walked in singing Broadway show tune, followed by the vows (and surrounded by their SIX children from previous marriages). One of the kids didn't want to get up from the floor, so the bride had to go and drag him up to the altar, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CEREMONY!

Afterwards, they went to a "reception" room (no cocktail hour) which looked beautiful, but the 10 grand must have gone to the room rental, because the lesbian couple served.... TAKEOUT PIZZA from delivery boxes, which everyone complained was COLD.

They had no beer, wine, liquor, or even water! All they served were two-liter bottles of soda pop on each table. Dessert was the wedding cake.

I felt so bad for them, and I don't know why they wanted to appear on the show, because they clearly couldn't afford a nice wedding.

Our culture’s obsession with weddings is exhausting

Weddings are a waste of money.

There's a marathon on TLC today.

New season starts next Saturday.

Is this show still on?

I agree that watching the food and what they serve is the best part.

Did anyone ever see the episode where the 20-something year old bride would only eat chicken fingers and pizza and her cake was made out of funfetti?

Same here, R11. The food is always the most interesting aspect of the wedding.

So far, I've seen two lesbian weddings on the show, and the food at both was kind of "questionable."

I just finished watching a NY-centric episode, and all four weddings were amazing Halloween-themed weddings. One even did a re-enactment of a play. It was awesome.

One thing I remember about this show is how often some of the brides would have full on buffets during the reception and then still have a ton of food at the dinner. NOBODY needs a pasta bar, a carving station, and thirty other dishes at the cocktail hour.

And speaking of cocktail hour all of the brides NEED to have a signature cocktail.

But the brides were always either having too much food or barely enough food. There was never a happy medium.

Oh, and the majority of them never have enough seating.

All I know is that they all have mashed potato bars.

When did that become a thing?

R14 around the same time cupcakes became the replacement for the wedding cake, apparently.
