Whose Wedding is it Anyway?

Has anyone ever had the unfortunate experience of watching this show? Seriously, it should be retitled, Bitches On Parade or something of a similar nature.

For some reason, these brides seem to think that they are above behaving like normal and kind human beings. They also seem to under the assumption that because they are getting married, they are able to act like spoiled princesses.

Let me fill you in on some things...

1. You are NOT a princess. Diana was a princess. Grace was a princess. You are a frumpy chick from Missouri.

2. Your wedding is just a big party; keep it in perspective.

3. If you keep treating your husband like the piece of shit you are treating him like now, you may not make it to your first anniversary.

4. No one owes you anything. Expecting your parents to pay out the nose for an entire wedding is ridiculous and outdated. You are not an 18-year-old bride in the 1950's. You are an adult. Pay your own bills.

The more I see these women and the money wasted on elaborate weddings, the more I am convinced that if I ever take the plunge it will be in an off-the-rack gown at the tackiest wedding chapel in Vegas I can find. If Elvis can officiate the ceremony, I will be in my glory. (I hate Elvis, but if one is going tacky, one should go full throttle.) I will even wear blue suede shoes...and that's a promise.

Amen sister. We drove our own car to the church, and I had one bridesmaid. And I told her to pick out her dress. My dress was $500. And the crazy thing, if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't. I would elope and save all the money. It's ridiculous. I think there is a direct correlation to the expense of the wedding and how long it lasts. A million dollar wedding lasts about a year. My parents were married at the justice of the peace, and it's been 40 years.

Oh, and where the heck you been?

Besides my tacky Vegas wedding, I would be up for something small, elegant and simple at home. I just don't understand spending so much money on one day when you could take that and put a massive down payment on a house. I would be sick to my stomach wearing a gown that cost $7,000.

I freaking love that show! I love how crazy the girls are. I have no idea how & why their husbands put up with them.

ps - can I come to Vegas when you do it? Or I can get ordained and dress up as Elvis for you!
