Did I hear correctly that her mother married his father when she was 17? If so, doesn't that mean she married her stepbrother?

A friend went to a wedding where the bridesmaids wore backless bridal rompers. She said from the front it looked like a dress but once they walked by, you could see it was pants. She showed me a picture and I thought it looked ugly in the front and back! I wonder if strapless dresses and see through stripper dresses are popular in other bridal stores around the country? You'd think stores would have dresses with sleeves, especially if brides are wanting them. I've seen the consultants at Kleinfeld's put a bolero on the bride to mimic sleeves. IMO, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I found this bridal gown picture one time while surfing the internet. I saved it because I thought the dress was so pretty. If I was looking for a gown in 2017, this is the kind I would want to purchase. Although I love the look of a train, I never wanted a long dress because I'm a klutz and would trip in my own dress!

I agree! When I go to a wedding, I'm there to see two people in love say their vows. I don't understand why brides take a huge entourage with them when they shop for their wedding dress. When I got married, I took my mom with me to look for my dress. No relatives, no friends, no wedding party. Just my mom. She paid for my dress which with veil, shoes, jewelry and tax cost $600. This was almost 25 years ago so I don't know what that would cost in today's dollars. My tea length dress had sleeves, beautiful beading on the top and tulle below the waist. It was beautiful and I received many compliments on it. In fact, when people see pictures of our wedding all these years later, I still get compliments. I can't wrap my head around brides who spend thousands of dollars for a dress they are going to wear one time for a few hours. Heck, I can't understand why parents or couples shell out thousands of dollars for a wedding. My husband and I had a beautiful ceremony and reception for only $5,000. A friend spent $20,000 on her daughter's wedding. The marriage didn't even last five years. IMO, $20,000 would be a very nice down payment on a house! I'm sick of seeing strapless dresses on SYTTD. I've only known one bride to wear one and even though she's a size six, she looked horrible in it. She has absolutely no fat on her body but it looked like back fat sticking out at the top of her dress. I was matron of honor so I got to see it up close during the whole ceremony. One think I like about the Atlanta version is the brides can look at gowns, rather than having the consultant pull all the gowns from the back. A friend of mine went to a bridal salon that had gowns arranged in rooms according to price. If you didn't see what you wanted, you either upped the budget or left empty-handed. I would rather look through the racks myself and see what was there, instead of trusting someone who has known me all of five minutes to pick what I might like.

I don't know how long the show's been on the air but I only discovered it two or three years ago. I've never watched an episode in its entirety. I usually just tune in for hot topics, although lately Wendy seems to focus more on hip hop and rap artists, rather than a broader segment of the entertainment community. I'll watch the celebrity interview, if it's someone I'm familiar with. Most of the time, though, I have no idea who the celebrity is so I turn off the TV. I've seen a handful of 'Ask Wendy' segments. I've never understood why someone would ask Wendy for advice. What makes her an expert on everything? Suzanne always looks scared to me when Wendy starts talking to her. Suzanne laugh also drives me crazy.

I thought this was one of the best episodes in a long time. I loved when Bernadette squeezed onto the couch between Sheldon and Ramona. Walking down the stairs as a group was hilarious!!!! If Amy doesn't say yes right away, I think she'll ask Sheldon why he's proposing now. If he tells her about Ramona kissing him, I think Amy will turn him down. She probably wants him to propose without any outside influence affecting his decision to propose. My husband said something about the actress playing Ramona being so skinny. She's so fragile, it looks like she might break a bone if someone hugged her. I know thin is in, especially in Hollywood, but this actress looks unhealthily thin.

I've only recently started watching the show. Yeah, I live under a rock:) All the episodes I've seen are similar. T makes an offer and the seller thinks it's too low and will get back with him later. Every kitchen is done with white cabinets. There's nothing wrong with that -- I love a white kitchen -- but is any other color ever used for the cabinets? When C wants to do something, especially expense, T is opposed, but then agrees to it almost immediately. The following might have been addressed earlier but I haven't had time to read all the previous pages. Does C has a speech impediment? A lisp? I notice it when she says words that have an 's'.

Thanks! That's what I figured. I can't imagine there being any royal ancestors or interesting relatives in my family tree. I would love to have someone research my family tree but that would probably cost lots of $$$$. I'm never going to be famous so that rules out TLC doing the work for me!

I haven't seen all the episodes but it seems as though the celebrity either has a notable ancestor (Courtney Cox, Valerie Bertinelli, Cindy Crawford) or an interesting story (the one that comes to mind is Scott Foley's ancestor being a 'bodyguard' for George Washington). Do you think the producers trace the ancestry before approaching the celebrity to do the show?

I haven't watched since season one but was sucked into watching it last night by the pregnancy clips. My first thought was the pregnant DJs urine was used to ensure a positive pregnancy test. On an upcoming episode, I saw where Whitney tells the people at the radio station she's pregnant. I'm wondering if she's even been to the doctor to confirm that it's not a false positive. When I was pregnant, my husband and I never uttered a word -- not even to our parents or siblings -- until after the first trimester. If Whitney is pregnant, I wish her nothing but the best because having children is one of the most beautiful experiences of a woman's life. If she's not and this is just a preconceived plot to suck in viewers, I will be done with the show forever. Oh how long for the good old days before 'reality' tv which isn't reality but scripted.

That was 90 minutes I'll never get back!!!! Did anyone else think Neil's eyes were bugged out when he was driving back from Savannah? I read that 20,000 people applied to be on the show. I don't know the percentage of males versus females, but these six are the best of the 20,000? Everyone of them had some sort of emotional issue. Five of the six couples were from divorced homes and David's father died when he was young. There's nothing wrong with coming from a divorced home -- my parents were divorced -- but if you've got longstanding issues from the divorce, death or abandonment, maybe you should work them out before getting married. Marriage is hard work and, at times, very trying, even when you've been with the person for years and know them almost as well as you know yourself. I agree that Ashley seemed to check out as she walked down the aisle. However, I will give her credit for saying she and David spent every night together after the production team left. I've read that some couples in previous seasons went to their respective apartments as soon as filming was over for the day. I think she hit the nail on the head when she said she thought David was in love with the concept of marriage. She did seem happy and relieved when asked if she'd made a decision. David has said more than once if it didn't work out, he'd still be there for Ashley. I wonder how he feels now that she's said she wants a divorce. David should have been paired with Vanessa. David wants to be married; Vanessa wants someone that won't abandon her. Sounds like a good match, except I think Vanessa said she wanted a black man. Sometimes I think Sam's feeling for Neil are changing, but I also question if she just doesn't want to be dumped on national TV. I've seen a promo where they're holding hands sitting on the sofa; another promo shows her getting off the sofa and storming up the stairs. I cannot understand why the experts matched these two. Sam wants an assertive man and Neil is anything but assertive. I wonder if Neil feels as though he's walking on eggshells when he's around her? I don't have an opinion on Vanessa and Trey. I'm not sure how badly Tres wants to be married. If they divorce, I think Vanessa might consider it another form of abandonment. I'll watch the rest of the season, but then I'm done with this show. I think online dating sites could do a better job matching couples.. Maybe I'd watch if the dating sites were the ones to match the couples.

Long time lurker, first time poster. I only watched some of S1 and S2, but have watched all of S3 so far. I used to live near Atlanta and thought it would be interesting to see how Southerners compared to their bigger city counterparts. I think online dating sites could have made better matches for all six individuals! I've always been under the impression you don't enter a relationship thinking you can change a person. Isn't that what the 'experts' think David can do for Ashley? Help her break out of her shell. I find it interesting that five of the six have, for lack of a better word, baggage. Tres was abandoned by his mother and brought up, not by his father, by his aunts; Vanessa doesn't have a relationship with her father; David's father died when he was young; Ashley doesn't have a relationship with her father; Sam is close to her stepfather, but not her biological father. It makes me wonder if this baggage played a role in their previous relationships. Is Neil the only one that didn't come with baggage, or am I forgetting something? Tres and Vanessa: I think Tres is a sweet young man who has a good attitude considering his childhood. However, I'm like Vanessa and question if he's really ready to be married. If he wants to go to bars, he should ask Vanessa to go with him. She might not be into the bar scene, but it would give them time together and give Vanessa a chance to see him in a different environment. Vanessa said she had looked everywhere, but couldn't find Mr. Right. That's something a 35 year old should say, not someone that's only 25! I think she should have given the dating scene more time before deciding to marry a stranger. David and Ashley: When I heard Ashley say she wasn't attracted to David, I immediately thought of Jamie from S1. Jamie gave Doug a chance and ended up falling in love. I thought that might happen with Ashley, but I'm not so sure. I don't know if she's really giving David a chance, although the clip from next week's episode of the two of them in a ferris wheel makes me think she's letting her guard down a little. I thought she was the most relaxed when she talked to David about breaking the handle of the toilet. If she could be that way more often, they might actually be able to stay together. I thought it was sweet of Ashley to calm David down when he got upset on Father's Day, even though his outburst seemed staged to me. Neil and Sam: I like Neil and his quirky sense of humor. From what I've seen, I think he's truly committed to making the marriage work. Am I right that Sam likes his non PC off camera personality better than his on air personality? I'm confused about what Sam wants in a man. Does she want the man to be in charge, one who shares everything 50-50, or something else? If I'm not mistaken, I believe she and Neil are holding hands in the clip when the couples decide whether to stay married or get divorced. I hope they make it because I think they are the most compatible of the three couples.
