Just because everyone else doesn't like what you do, doesn't mean you can't be happy with how you choose to celebrate. I remember one of his tv brides didn't want a cake and he practically had a cow. When I get married, I'm going to city hall and although I REALLY REALLY don't want one, we will have a reception. Since Mr. Ninjapoodle used to work in the hotel industry, we have an "in" to a decent location. We're not having a "wedding reception" just a party. When I had discussed this idea with one of my best friends, she flipped out. "OMG! You HAVE to ....blah, blah" I cut her off and said "No, I don't HAVE to do anything. It's OUR day and we've chosen to do it this way. I don't want bridesmaids, a church, long dress, or any of that crap. Just be my friend & show your ass up to the reception and that will be your gift to me and Mr. Ninjapoodle." End of story. (*end rant*)

I guess my point in saying that is Tutera has a way of making situations seem like they are not good enough. Just let folks be happy with their choices.

He not only thinks weddings need to be one way, he thinks they need to be the New York way. If there's one thing I've learned from The Knot it's that New York/New Jersey weddings are very different from west coast weddings. Some of the things blown out in NY/NJ aren't even really done here. It works for him because all of the weddings on this show are in NY/NJ.
In general I tend to agree with a lot of David's decisions, but I'd get pissed if he insisted, for instance, that bridesmaid dresses should be long, cocktail hours need to have carving stations and buffets, and a wine/beer reception is unacceptable.
