While I do agree that they only show the worse moments shortly before the wedding I also watch the Platinum Weddings show that is on right after Bridezilla and NONE of those brides behave like that. And there was one of those weddings that cost almost a million dollars. Those brides don't behave anything like that and I think it has to do with the fact that those women are not trying to plan the whole thing themselves. I know what I want my wedding to be like. If I planned that whole thing myself I would be PSYCHO!!! That's why I'm getting myself one darn good wedding planner who can stress about the small stuff and I can stress about being the prettiest bride ever!

I think that Marsha and her hubby were on Dr. Phil this year. They do post updates on the website once the next season starts.

Co-sign on the wedding planner piece. There was one girl on bridezillas (she was African American and she married an Army captain) who wasn't really hostile as much as sad. She cried a lot on her episode b/c she felt that she was doing it all by herself. Its just waaaaay too much for one person to remember and get done. Hell on platinum weddings even the planners have a team of people, so could you imagine doing it all by yourself for your own event? Knowing me, I would freak the fu@k out!

Dang you for telling me that!!! Now I'm going to have to go read WE's website. I don't think even Dr. Phil can heal Marsha and her hubby though. I saw the episode your talking about. She cried the whole time and all she could say was "Im the only one taking this wedding seriously!!!" Wah!
And I would never plan my own wedding. Not without a fleet of trained people helping me. I was in charge of formal twice when I was in college. And I was part of a small GLO and that was hard enough. No way I would touch my own wedding with a 10 foot pole!!! I know I would freak out.

But I feel this year they have really found some loony birds. What about the one where the girl took out an addtional morgage on her home so she could rent a castle? Or the one who wanted a celebrity wedding so bad she had to have "the dentist to the starts" and the "photographer to the stars"? The only sane one they've had all season was the lawyer. I think her name was Angela? She wasn't so much a Bridezilla as a little pushy....

They might not have this season's updates on WE's website yet. Right now, they have the ones from last season up, so I'm thinking that these won't go up until next season.

Ok, I'll give you that the celebrity wedding chick was over the top. She was trying to live a dream, which has always seemed ridiculous to me. What's the fun of being a 'fake' celeb for one day, and then having to go back to your real life the next? Also, I would NEVER re-finance my home to pay for a wedding. That was BANANAS! Don't get me wrong, I would be thrilled to be a bride, and I would want to have a nice celebration. However, going into debt for one day is not my idea of a fun time. The lawyer girl was cool, and she added some spice to her relationship b/c her hubby seemed dead.

Cost is exactly why I haven't gotten married yet. I want a custom Vera Wang and the boyfriend wants a custom Armani tux. And we want to have a wedding more like the ones you would see on the Plantinum weddings. We sooooo can't afford that right now! So rather than take on an a**load of debt, we're waiting. If I want a $100,000 wedding I need to be able to pay for most of that upfront, not re-fi a home. That's just dumb. What if you get divorced?

I think the most hilarious one was where this lady was getting mad at her wedding planner because she thought that the WP had lost the bride's marriage license. She's bitching at her mom abou the WP, crying up a storm....and then she goes to her car and what does she have in there? Her marriage license.

[Marie]

I saw that one. I thought it was hilarious that she made her wedding party come down the aisle like the queen in Coming to America. My friends would have been like "Ummm...no."

I have always wondered how they get their bridemaids to do some of the things they do. Unless my ladies are wearing normal-looking, normal-colored dresses and just walking normally down the aisle, I promise they will refuse to participate.

Anyone noticed that the last 2 seasons the cops have been called in for some reason or another? How crazy do you have to be to get thrown out of a wedding venue?

Yeah she was a nutjob - her hubby is a retired MLB player so I'm sure they could totally afford everything.

I think she spent the crap out of his money b/c while she was getting custom this, custom that he got his wedding tux from Mens Warehouse. Not to diss on that store but her dress was custom. He should at least have been able to get a custom Armani! But instead he gets Mens Warehouse???

they probably agreed to pick out for themselves what to wear, to not fight about it...he picked men's warehouse
