Definitely agree with you about not expecting guests to help clean up, but depending on what kind of event and where it's being held it's kind of a given to help clean up, especially at venues where we have to be outta here by a certain time -- at least where I'm from.

I would not expect my guest to clean, but I honestly feel like if I didn't have anyone to clean up my guest would tell me to leave and do after wedding stuff and they would clean up for me. I know if I were friends w/ someone and that happened to them I would clean up for them.

See this is my thing...at most weddings the bride/groom and the wedding party are the last ppl at the reception. As the evening wears on, guests tend to taper off and head out. By the end of the night there are only a few ppl left. Now I agree that if someone was left and saw me cleaning up, then I would think they'd tell me to head to the hotel/house/where ever to enjoy the remainder of my night. However, I would have assumed that most ppl would be gone by that hour and it would only by myself and the wedding party left to clean. This is why I was confused at with whom she was disappointed. The wedding party seem to be the only ppl with the responsibility to participate in the clean up.

Have you guys checked out the WE-TV Bridezilla message board lately? Maria's sisters are making asses of themselves big time. It's entertaining!

I know that the show's probably heavily edited, but stopping off at the bar BEFORE your wedding ceremony? Good grief. I hope that one of her wedding gifts was an invitation to AA!

And why does the network insist on picking trailer trash for the show? Monica? Your red wedding dress is HIDEOUS and I hope your guests laughed their asses off when you walked down the aisle.

Did anyone else notice that in one of the shots for next week that it shows her in red and her bridemaids in white? And as for trailer trash, remember she did tell us that she was living trailer fabulous! I actually like this bridezilla!

Those boards are FUNNNY! Looks like one of Maria's sisters is on there defending her. And she seems to have a few regular posters who are fans too The mid-westerners are posting saying that drinking is all they have to do there...hmmm

I was brought up to believe that it was rude to leave before the bridal couple had their "send off" - rice, bubbles, whatever. HOWEVER I have been to weddings where the happy couple apparently are NEVER going to leave - and 11:00 p.m. is pretty much my limit.
I was a bridesmaid at a wedding where the bridal party was supposed to decorate EVERYTHING. The maid of honor and a couple of other bridesmaids left before the decorating started. I thus had no trouble leaving before the clean-up - I left it to the decorating no-shows and made a silent vow that my daughters' attendants would NEVER have to do either decorating or clean-up!

I think Monica's red dress is disgusting. She looks like a big red Stay Puff Marshmallow Man.

I read somewhere (I think it was Glamour) that most brides who wear a non traditional color dress (i.e. anything that's not white or off-white) on their wedding day end up regretting it. The article went on to mention that Sarah Jessica Parker was quoted in Vogue as saying that she regretted wearing a black wedding dress.

But whatever floats these girl's boats I suppose. These trashy brides like Monica & Maria are killing me.
