Four Weddings
I'm watching the premiere on TLC that aired after the Miss America pageant.
It is a different kind of wedding/bride show. 4 brides (do they ever have grooms?) go to each other's weddings and share what they liked and didn't like. I think there's a winner at the end of this and they get a trip to a surprise location.
The weddings that they are showing are very different. It goes to show that your wedding is about what you and your spouse want.

Very interesting show! I'm glad that the "other brides" weren't nasty catty, because each wedding had a charm of its own.

Some of the comments were a little funny.
Perhaps the cattiness will come in later episodes when the competition gets realer and they want to get more viewers. Being nice doesn't make it these days and folks may want more of a Bridezillas/crazy bitches effect.

I honestly hope not! I don't watch the crazy women shows... And I really liked seeing all of the different cultures! I was shocked that the one bride had never seen a Catholic mass before - which tells you a little about where I live!

LOL live-in and I were joking about the many full-mass weddings we've been to - it's like a preemptive burning of calories before hitting up the cookie table!

My favorite moment of the show was when the Indian bride gave one of the bride (who ended up winning) a low score because she felt rushed and didn't get to sample all the desserts. I was cracking up. She was so serious...and seemed hurt that she didn't get all the sweets.
Although, I'd probably be sad, too. The desserts looked GOOD!

Interesting show. At first, I liked it but then I saw that some brides are just really juvenile, catty, and/or unwilling to see others ideas on what they feel a wedding should be. I'm watching one episode an one of the girls had a boho, untraditional semi-casual event and the other girls (one in particular) damn near had a cow. Really? Honestly, you can take your ghetto ass home.
The concept of the show is flawed. Weddings, like art, are subjective. If they weren't, every wedding in the world would be the same.
The thing I do like about the show is that they show different type of cultural weddings. I've never been to a Jewish, Hindu, Greek Orthodox ceremony and it's nice to see different ways others celebrate.

Just saw the British version a few days ago.
The episode featured one women who had a budget wedding, priding herself in only spending 500 pounds (no not just the dress, on the whole wedding!) while the others had very extravagant weddings and very very snooty about the budget.
There's anther British show I love even better:
It's called "Don't tell the bride.."
On the show the groom plans the whole wedding (including food, venue, dress, bridesmaids, guests etc.) while the bride is kept in the dark, and from seeing the groom, until the wedding. Some get it right, while others get it very, very wrong!

Is this on BBC America, or on one of the "real" BBC stations?

I watch it on BBC 3, so the "original" BBC, but there is info on it on the BBC America website:

You can watch the episodes online at Blinkx (and if you're in the UK on BBC iPlayer)
