It's 12:27. Do you know where your daughter is?
My parents are upstairs and I am reveling in cable TV. They have so many channels. I should be asleep but instead I am watching Bridezilla.
Bridezilla. It's about brides going nuts. They are following three different women who are obsessively, neurotically planning their weddings. The one couple is a hair stylist marrying a guy whose profession remains unmentioned, but who can't be more than twenty-five years old.
They are up to a $50,000 budget for their wedding.
Can someone explain this to me? Why, why, why, why? Why would anyone think that spending $50,000 on a one day affair is worth it?
And they are all nutso! Control freaks! They aren't even having fun. $50,000 and they are not even having fun.

But it makes for such good TV!!!!
I wasn't that crazy. Really. I swear.
My wedding cost all of $800 bucks and we had a blast.
Still ended up divorced, though.
$800? Wow. Guess it doesn't really matter how much you spend does it? Wish I'd only wasted $800.
IT'S A RACKET, I TELL YA! ALL OF IT!
How did you do it for $800 LD? We decided today that even a small civil ceremony and dinner would run up into the several thousands... ("we" being the ladies of the Folger Box Office)
i don't see the point in having a marriage ceremony anyway, other than asking people for lots of gifts. isn't it a private event?
I think you need more non-actors on here.
Things like "Bridezilla" make my stomach turn.
It is amazing that people in this country still have the idiocy to say that gay marriage will ruin the sanctity of the institution. I have been to a few gay weddings and many straight ones and the same-sex couples had more dignity and grace in their ceremonies, and they were closer to an honorable celebration of a untiy without the concern of gifts or focal attention of who the star is. It was about the belief and love that two people want to and should be together...and nothing else.
I believe each person has a right to the ceremony of their choice...not sure what I might be up for if and when that day ever comes, but all I would like is close family and friends around to watch my partner and I swear a oath of honor...and some good eats and I'm good.
Bridezilla is trash TV. Period.
Besides, for 50Gs, there better be clowns, balloons, fire eaters, a moon bounce, and an ice cream cake....you know, the kind with that crunchy cookie crust.
PS: Sandwich repair guy, I am confused...why less actors? I don't think city mouse lady has any control over who comes to the blog.
Balance. Point taken though. It was just a stray comment.
I'm buying my apartment in Montreal from a newlywed gay couple. You know what? Quebec has been letting gay and lesbian couples marry for 2-3 years now, and the moral fabric of anything hasn't unraveled. People are really indifferent about it there. I think domestic violence, long work hours, low pay, unaffordable and unavailable child care, and poor mate selection are the real threats to the institution of marriage. I don't see how you destroy marriage by letting more people in.
