    Who is/are the brave soul/s who are willing to watch the pop up version tonight? 

    Me fonfereksglen *** jumping up and down with snarky glee ***!

    Too bad we can't have a Live Chat on that one, but we can still do our blow-by-blows in real time on this thread. The idea that those pop-ups could give us even more crazy shit to ponder about these two is making me positively drool!

    As a wedding officiant myself for the past 10 years, I can vouch for the inexpensive dignified ceremonies in the local town hall/ court house or in a backyard or living room. Cost? In Connecticut, state licensing and officiant fees would amount to about $150.  With "extras" - like a professional photographer, flowers, new non-wedding dress, rented tux - maybe $500-$650.   Anyway - definitely they could have gotten married for less than $1000.  

    ITA completely Carrie. One of the loveliest and thriftiest weddings I ever attended was held in the backyard of either one of the couple's relatives or friends; it's been awhile so can't exactly remember who hosted. Anyway, their backyard area was more like a glen and it was a beautiful Spring day. There was even a butterfly that hovered over the couple right on cue!

    The food, as I recall, was homemade potluck. And yes, there was a very nice but modest cake. That's really all one needs if money it tight.

    We had two different flavors of cake at our daughter's wedding - selected at a cake tasting.  Several people came up to us during the reception and said, "We've never tasted a wedding cake that was SO GOOD."  If you want the rest of an event to be memorable, why not the cake?

    Amen to that AZChristian, most definitely I would be tasting the cake and  whatever food is going to be served! And, unlike what Twitney said at the gorging "tasting" for her parents' party, I actually do like cake, LOL!

    Edited to add that having those multiple flavors of homemade cheesecakes sounds scrumptious ClareWalks. What a wonderful idea.

    When I saw Joe's initial episode I remembered going away with rather positive feelings about him. He did lose a considerable amount of weight and, although I am not a total fan of finding one's soul mate on the internet, I was genuinely happy that he had found love. I even admired how he said at his highest weight was that he refused to have anyone bathe him, unlike so many subjects on this show. I was also glad to see that he had a loving, supportive mother who he seemed to adore.

    Until last night.

    Both he and his girlfriend/fiance/wife Sarah seemed to live in the delusional land of entitlement. I totally get that many couples desire a dream wedding, but people in their thirties (or were they older), especially with a child to support, should entertain the concept of delayed gratification. Since, from what I've read here, their GoFundMe campaigns went bust, they had to have spent money on the wedding that could have been put to better use, like getting their own place to live. As many here have speculated, they probably hit up Sarah's mom for a huge chunk of the wedding expenses. Very interesting that she apparently did NOT want to appear on camera for this shit show.

    When you live under someone else's roof on their dime, you need to be real humble and neither one of them seemed capable of that.

    Of course the worst was Joe's treatment of his mother when she said she needed help getting to the wedding. Someone on the Live Chat said that Joe didn't seem able to pick up on social cues, that his mother was hoping for him to offer to help her make the trip. His nonchalant, "Well, I hope you can make it" was beyond creepy. My thinking is that he really did understand what she was implying and that this was some kind of weird, cruel passive-aggressive shit on his part. Maybe he disapproves of her boyfriend? No explanation about how she made it to the wedding, but the way he spoke to her indicated that he had nothing to do with it.

    I don't have a Facebook account but I would love to be a fly on their Facebook Wall and read the reactions of those who got to see the "real" Joe.

    And don't feel neglected Pauline 'cause I got a boatload of shit to say about you later.

    This strapless wedding dress trend must die. Titty back doesn't look good on anyone.

    Okay, okay Brooklynista just became the latest drawer snatcher with that one! Between her, Mama Anchorabu, and so many others, I can't keep up so I'm just gonna throw a huge pile of gasoline soaked, gender appropriate garments in a pile and you all can grab whatever suits you. There's panties, bras, Speedos, Spanx, Jock straps, thongs, tampons and condoms.............

    Aaaaaaannnnd with those last two, I'll see myself out!

    Edited to add Threnners to the growing list!

    I guess Joe will start a new Go Fund Me so they can move out. Nothing like getting married with no home or job. He's living in a fantasy land.

    Well, the way he was acting about his mom, not understanding that she was asking him for help to get to the wedding (how did she get to the rehearsal dinner?) I was thinking about starting a Go Fuck You page for him!

    My EX husband had feet that were thick, he needed wide and deep shoes and that may be Pauline's problem? Although with all her "ouchies" I assume she has a low pain tolerance.

    Well she sure as shit is testing MY pain tolerance! I'd like to give that heifer an ouchie she'll never forget!
