I don't necessarily hate the show. I like to watch it just to get some ideas for my own. But I do think it's totally appalling how judgmental these girls are. I don't want anyone to compare my wedding to anyone elses'. My big day is special to me and I really don't care to impress anyone. And of course everyone is going to think their own wedding is the best. Really? How realistic is it to knock off points on some one elses wedding because you didn't like that they had a whole roasted pig at their reception? That's just one stupid example I can think of.
I am entertained by this show! I watch this show and Bridezilla all the time! The only thing I do not like about the show is that the bride's budgets are always so different. One bride might have a 15k budget and another bride will have a 75k budget and I do not think that is fair! I think they should match up brides by their budgets!
i don't really like this show. I watched one episode, and the idea of having something as personal as one's own wedding assigned meaningless point values by relative strangers doesn't sit well with me. i don't think anyone should view their wedding as a competition, but I guess if one wanted that free honeymoon badly enough..
I personally like the show. I have watched every one and I don't think the person who has the fanciest wedding always wins. They judge on four differnt things..its not all about who spends the most money. I like how they have all different budgets in the show because it show you don't have to spend a ton to have a great wedding! I totally agree with KIKI..I think they should stick with a simlar budget for all the girls! I just like getting ideas from these shows!
I haven't ever watched it, but from the commercials it seems really stupid. I agree why would you have some one degrade your wedding like this!
But it is a wedding show and some girls could get really good inspiration.
I watch it, but I agree with others as I do not think it is entirely fair. I feel the winner is the one who usually has the biggest budget, which enables them to have a more "grand" wedding. That bothers me. I would like to see brides of equal budgets compared.
Never seen it... but now I am intregued... I think I will record it and I will have to get back to you.
Ugh, I really dislike the show. Actually, they're recruiting more brides to be on the show, and my planner (Exquisite Affairs Productions) asked me if I wanted to participate. While the flyer from TLC specifically said it "wasn't a bridezilla" type show, I felt like the whole set up was really judegemental and meanspirited.
How can you go to a wedding as a guest, enjoy the dinner/drinks/whatever and then make comments about how her dress was "tacky" or the room was cramped, or the decorations were unoriginal. If I was a bride watching those comments about my wedding I would be heartbroken! We all know how much time and energy goes into planning these things and I think to judge a couple on a celebration that very likely meant a lot to them and they worked very hard on is just mean-spirited.
I use it to a) get ideas and b) see what people are catty about and try to avoid some of those mistakes!
I just saw it for the first time last week and I couldn't get over how all-out nasty these girls were. Because they're compete and want to win they refused to compliment anything and found a way to negatively spin even the most delightful or impressive aspects simply to rip apart the competition. And they're GUESTS at these weddings, dacing with someone's granny one second then shamelessly making fun of her the next.
I'll admit I get a kick out of the occasional Bridezilla episode but the girls on this show are just so mean-spirited!
I saw it a couple times, but then they (the show announcer, not the other brides) made some comment about how the one woman who had like a $25,000 budget for 100 people was doing everything on a shoe string budget, or something. Now I don't care how much anyone spends on their wedding, you want to spend $100,000- that's none of my business. But $25,000 for 100 people is not, under any definition, a low budget wedding. I decided right then that this wasn't the show for me.
I dislike it too! I generally dislike wedding shows. I caught the last 20 minutes of this show before WTNW last week and I am definitely not a fan. I think it comes across judgemental and catty. I wish other people wouldn't grade others wedding. A wedding is an expression of the couple and I don't think girls making catty remarks about centerpieces/budgets/dresses should be televised.
I don't like it! I think it just gives women an opportunity to be catty and vindictive over something that is really personal and important to someone.
I love it and think it is completely hillarious. I find the judging and attitude to be so funny. I also like that not always the most expensive wedding wins and I've seen the show where the biggest budget scored really low. It gives me ideas of how other people perceive things and I take a second look at decisions I am making. In the end though, people will do what they want to do and what they think is special/unique/cool etc. and it's your day, so what should it matter.
I don't mind watching it (For ideas, etc), but I always end up wondering how the 'losers' feel watching it later on. I mean, they have this 'perfect' day, and then afterwards they listen to all the things people thought were 'tacky' or didn't like, etc. It just seems like you'd know WAY too much about what other people thought.
Not that its really the other people's fault for saying what they did/didn't like, since that is the whole point of the show - but once its all finished do you really want to know what others disliked?
I don't exactly like the show, but I don't really dislike it, either. What I *totally* dislike is one of the commercials for it. There's this song that basically gives the premise (something like "Four Weddings! Four Brides! Each will judge the other's events!" and then something about being "whisked away on a dream honeymoooon"), and I find it to be SO annoying.
HK- I totally agree! The song is so irritating! Plus, I don't like that they call the weddings "events". A wedding is so much more than an event for someone to judge- it's not just a party! ugh...
@greenleaf: I belive most of these weddings take place in NYC (although I know one episode was in Miami). While 25,000 isn't a "shoe-string" budget, I think it is definitely cutting it close in the big city! And I've never seen a wedding show not call anything under $20,000 "cutting it close" :p
I go back and forth on this show. I don't get upset that these women judge each other, that is why they are on the show! I have seen them compliment each other's weddings just as much as criticize them. What I don't like is how rude the brides tend to be towards any ethnic/religious ceremony that is not American Christian. I've seen a couple of Orthodox Jewish weddings and I believe a Greek Orthodox wedding. and the brides always complain! I think the reception, etc. is up for judging but it isn't right to judge a ceremony.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Seriously! I watch ONE episode and I felt sick to my stomach. these women actually VOTE AND GRADE who had the BEST wedding! I mean wtf is that?! So how fancy your wedding is means how great it was?
Im sorry it was just like the biggest insult ever!
Anyone else hate this show?
