S10.E03: I Married a Stranger

[gonecrackers]

Quote

All five couples dance the night away at their wedding receptions, before spending their first night together as husband and wife.

 

[Straycat80]

Michael is the first person to be married in his family...ever? 

[gonecrackers]

Meka looked terrified through the whole ceremony.

[Ohwell]

I think they're both nervous, but I can't tell yet if Meka and Michael are pleased with each other.

[gonecrackers]

Yeah neither looked thrilled, but could just be nerves right now.

[Empress1]

I forgot this was on and missed Michael and Meka's wedding. I did hear her say she's a category analyst ... anyone know what that is?

She said she "basically plans ads" for a grocery store.

Meka - "How old do you think I am?" is not a good question for a new stranger husband.

[absolutelyido]

Last week, I thought Meka was way over-reacting to how her dress fit. Now that I see it better it was very obviously too big on top. I don't blame her for being upset.

Michael didn't look all that thrilled initially to me, but he seemed to warm up when Meka laughed at all his jokes. 

[Ohwell]

I did feel bad for Meka having to take wedding photos in that ill-fitting dress.

[Straycat80]

They knew Mindys family was not coming to the wedding. No need to have four empty chairs there for everyone to notice, talk about, and upset Mindy even more. 
 

edited to add: ok, I guess the chairs are for the bridesmaids.

I was nervous for Meka when Mike dipped her...

 

[Straycat80]

Aw, I had my doubts about Zach but him getting on his knee and asking Mindy to marry him was sweet. 

[Ohwell]

Well Zack and Mindy seem pleased with each other at first glance.

[gonecrackers]

Don't worry Mindy, we're all gonna be seeing a lot of Zach without his shirt on. 🙄

[Empress1]

Meka, you're 25. If you wait 2 years to have kids, you won't be "the old parent." 

[Ohwell]

I'm getting a "difficult to be with" vibe from Meka.

Their exchange about kid timing (for the record, I'm with Michael) makes me think they're going to butt heads.

[gonecrackers]

Zach's groomsman wants to be in Mindy's place.

[Ohwell]

So far, I'm liking Zack and Mindy.

Same. And I hate labeling another black woman with that stereotype. But Michael isn’t as laid back and flexible as I thought he was either. Yeah, they might butt heads. Both have very strong personalities.

Yes.  Plus, I thought Michael's two year time frame for having kids was perfectly reasonable.

Mindy looks beautiful at her wedding.

I think Zach is pleased that Mindy is a figure skater and ballerina.  I don't think he would be happy with anyone not physically active.

Zach seems oddly calm, despite saying several times that he is nervous. It's like he is playing a part, saying all the right things.

Meka worried about awkwardness.  Don't worry about Michael, honey, you've got the market cornered on that.

[topanga]

Michael’s friend Matthew is hot. He has that sexy nerd look I love. Too bad about that Great Gazoo head, though. He needs some hair. 

[Ohwell]

I swear I could just have phone sex with Brandon.

[topanga]

Taylor’s mom Is questioning Brandon like she’s a prosecuting attorney.

He seems disingenuous to me TBH. His mom didn't seem too sure of him either.

He also always looks like he's modeling.

[Ohwell]

Now I see what some people meant about Katie tucking her chin in.  It is annoying as hell.

[configdotsys]

I may be wrong but the vibe that I get from Zack is that he's a phony. Everything he says comes across as scripted and carefully crafted to make himself look good.

You know, I don't want to believe that but you might be right.  He does seem "too good to be true."  We'll see.

[Ohwell]

Zack's stepmom looks like she wants to snap Mindy like a twig.

LOL. I was just going to post that wow, she looks like she wants to poke her eyes out.

[ShowFan]

Zach’s groomsman who gave the speech looks like he is 14!
 

Mindy’s friend who came last moment to the wedding...I have one word for her: SUNSCREEN

I just don’t trust Zach. I feel like he is a show off. He really knows how to behave in front of the camera

Stepmom Carol seems supremely unimpressed with Mindy.

Happily, everyone else seems to like her.

[gonecrackers]

Calm the fuck down Mindy. Those forehead veins are gonna burst before the honeymoon.

She is! And I love her dress. She’ll get her heart broken though, sadly 

[gonecrackers]

Was that guy just scratching his ass ?

[gonecrackers]

Austin's deep voice with that baby face is messing with my head.

[configdotsys]

Austin's hair is just awful.

[rebel2u]

I must be the weird one.  I like Austin's hair.

[Straycat80]

Taylor‘s  family did not look impressed when Brandon grabbed a handful of that cake. You could tell they were afraid he was going to smash it in her face.

He should have been matched with Taylor.  It would have served 'em both right to have to look at each other's hair.

[Ohwell]

Question from Meka's friend:  Do you plan on having sex tonight?  What I wish Michael had said:  None of your goddam business.

[gonecrackers]

Hope Katie's bridesmaid didn't drive that night. She's quite the messy drunk.

Edited January 16, 2020 by gonecrackers

[Straycat80]

All this bridesmaids and groomsmen asking the grooms about having sex on the wedding night was so producer driven. 

[2727]

Yeah Zach, you're hot. I'm also pretty sure you're full of shit.

[configdotsys]

Katie's bridesmaid is classless, disgusting trash. I hope she enjoys watching herself be a complete and total pig on television.

She probably thinks she's clever.  Probably threw up all over the Uber on the way home.

He has good hair, he just has no idea how to style it. Shampoo would be a good start.

He needs to consult curly girl tutorials.

I was falling for it at first but everything he says and every look he makes is so perfect, down to the way he looks in to Mindy's eyes. Is he an actor?
