ElectricBoogaloo March 8, 2016 Share March 8, 2016 It's the wedding viewers have longed for when Deacon and Rayna tie the knot. When the loving couple are ambushed by paparazzi after their intimate rehearsal dinner, Deacon's hot-headed reaction casts a pall on the plans and forces a change of venue. Meanwhile, wedding guest Avery is struggling to keep up with the lies Juliette is forcing him to message to press in her absence. Promo: Link to comment
CreamedPeas March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 Maddie and Daphne are brats. And I'll bet Raina' s sister is giving away the wedding information. I love Deacon. 4 Link to comment
NYGirl March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 All those cameras flashing almost gave me a seizure. How come we haven't seen the paparazzi like this before? Link to comment
WhosThatGirl March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 When Rayna and Teddy first broke up, the paparazzi was like that. Daphne is way better than Maddie. I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't really care for Rayna and Deacon anymore. I was kind of over this episode. Juliette/Hayden can't come back soon enough, actually. Part of me misses Juliette and the other part of me and the bigger part will be happy to see Hayden back on screen and doing good again. 7 Link to comment
Primetimer March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 It's Rayna and Deacon's wedding day, but some people have doubts...and that includes the groom. Read the story Link to comment
dbell1 March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 Server ate my post. Glad my show is back. Loved the songs, the dresses, the drama, the vows. Avery tears and Layla finding out about the Jeff jump. Great restart to the show. 4 Link to comment
Fisher King March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 Yes, Daphne & Maddie are insufferable. Way too much tension surrounding what's supposed to be the happiest event of the season. Music was very good though. 9 Link to comment
SlovakPrincess March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 Absence did not make my heart grow fonder, apparently. Really having a hard time getting back into the show after the long hiatus ... in the middle of a not-great season. All the Maddie, Deacon, Rayna, Tandy drama before the wedding just annoyed me. Daphne - I at least understood where she was coming from ... she's a kid, her dad is in prison, and she feels left behind in the new family dynamic. I did think Rayna handled that well. Ugh, the dead Jeff plot again. And still no Juliette. And Luke's stupid son ... yep, a crowded wedding is the perfect time to tell Layla! Good timing, kid! Yikes, poor Avery. I liked Rayna and the girls' dresses. 2 Link to comment
CreamedPeas March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 Jeff had to be brought up again so we can see Hayden go after Avery to pay Juliette back. I liked this episode. Wished Rayna and Deacon could have had their day without the drama though. 1 Link to comment
Artsda March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 Rayna compared Deacon, a grown man and adult's physical tantrums to 16 year old Maddie? Maddie sounded more like a rational adult about Deacon's paparazzi attack than Rayna. Did Rayna not care to discuss anything to Daphne before the wedding day? Shouldn't she have spoken to her before about her feelings? Daphne was clearly having issues for awhile. I swear Luke was shown as a better parent to Daphne than Rayna. 6 Link to comment
Emily Thrace March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 (edited) Layla's crazy eyes are back Avery better watch his back. Also yay Juliette and she sane again I hope. At least this time she may actually be right when she thinks Layla's out to get her. Rayna and Deacon's wedding was beautiful and perfect. Tandy's snark was funny and I don't really blame her for being skeptical of Deacon Edited March 17, 2016 by Emily Thrace 1 Link to comment
pattycat March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 I have no problem, with Deacon's reaction to the press, actually! They were swarming them, shoving a camera in the face of a 16 year old girl, asking her nasty, cruel questions. You behave like that, don't be surprised, if you find yourself on your butt! Luke a better Parent? This would be the Luke that basically ignored Colt out on tour. That, didn't notice he was dead drunk, that, instead of helping him deal with the nightmare he had witnessed on the roof, Coerced him into silence, to protect, the brand. Luke that almost got into a physical altercation with Colt? Don't see him as a better parent! I do agree that both Rayna and Deacon, should have been talking to both girls, well before the wedding. Both obviously had issues going on. 9 Link to comment
airwair March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 I wanted to be angry at all the nonsense but that completely cheesy slow-motion dip kiss did me in. I'm a pile of mush in a gutter and my heart is fluttering. I thought Deacon handled himself well with the photogs until the ass harrassed Maddie with the dumb "father" nonsense. At least they gave him a clear trigger instead of just having him lose his cool for no particular reason, right? Isn't that kind of good? :-| Actually the more I think about it we got total orgasm stiff Titanic-on-the-window hands at the end so I can't be mad about anything. I'm normally sensible but I sure did miss this foolishness. 4 Link to comment
madam magpie March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 (edited) Oy. I think I can't with this show anymore. I've watched too many well-written things during the hiatus. However, I LOVED that Emily was reading The Royal We. Rock it, Fug Girls!! Edited March 17, 2016 by madam magpie 10 Link to comment
GaT March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 Ugh, this is what we get after waiting 4 months? And why is Layla still on this show? This show is supposedly "on the bubble" it seems it's sliding down the side to me. 1 Link to comment
candall March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 Is Daphne supposed to be around 6 or 7? She's kind of being written that way, but she looks older. I laughed when Deacon assured Maddie that she could always approach him when she felt afraid "of him or for him." 'Cause pausing to process the concern of others has always been Deacon's strong suit. Two Beverly shoutouts before the opening credits. I really miss that sweetheart, glad to see she'll never be forgotten. [/s] Hi Layla! Between Nashville and your conniving drug addicted girlfriend role on Recovery Road, you're carving out quite the niche for crazy villainess. 2 Link to comment
ElectricBoogaloo March 17, 2016 Author Share March 17, 2016 (edited) I love that as much as Tandy clearly dislikes Deacon, she still didn't badmouth him when Maddie asked what he was like when she first met him. And even when Rayna told her that if she couldn't be supportive on her wedding day, she could go, Tandy still took the high road. On the other hand, I love that Rayna took the time to go all Tami Taylor with Maddie and Daphne before the wedding. ITA that she should have had that talk with them sooner, but it was still so Tami Taylor that I can't hate on that moment. Hee, I also love that when Tandy told Deacon if he ever hurts Rayna again, she will come after him AND that her threat had way more weight than Ross telling Chandler he would KICK HIS ASS if he hurt Monica. Maybe I am being too anal retentive, but if my daughters were singing me a song at my rehearsal dinner, the last thing I would want is people coming by the table to talk about how great they are. Save your compliments for after the song so I can devote my full attention to them, damn it! As much as it sucks that they had to find a new wedding location at the last minute, it seems a bit absurd that they thought they could keep the location a secret with so many vendors. There is always someone who is going to talk, and that's why it's also important to have an indoor wedding if you're famous. Don't get me wrong - I feel bad that celebrities have to deal with kind of crap, but you have to be realistic. Do you want helicopters and drones flying over your wedding and taking pictures? If the answer is no, then have you wedding inside. I'm not anywhere close to famous and I knew from the time I was 10 years old that even though I loved the beach, I had to have an indoor wedding because I didn't want people lookylooing. Will is kind of a jerk for flaking on the wedding because he didn't want to talk to people about what a loser he is. I know money probably isn't a huge issue for Rayna and Deacon's wedding, but it is still SO RUDE to RSVP to a wedding and then not show up because you are feeling sorry for yourself. HIGH FIVE for using "When the Right One Comes Along" at the wedding! The first time I heard it, I wished that I could have used it at my wedding (damn my luck at that song not existing when I got married). So glad that Deacon asked Daphne to dance. A moment like that is exactly what I've been waiting for. He and and Daphne had such a good relationship in S1 and S2 so I have hated that once he found out that Maddie was his daughter, he seemed to focus exclusively on her. If he just made it a point to take her to get ice cream, just the two of them, or play a board game or ANYTHING where they spend some time together with Rayna or Maddie, Daphne would be so happy. Totally loved that both Rayna and Deacon knew she would never change her last name and it wasn't some huge fight. Gunnar made a valiant effort to be Scarlett's wingman, but he totally sucked as Avery's! I mean, seriously. Your reaction to someone mentioning Juliette's name is to say, "I barely know her and I don't know where Avery lives"? Calm down, dude. I wasn't very excited about Jessy Schram joining the cast, but if tonight was any indication of her character then she can stay. I totally loved that every time Maddie opened her mouth to be a whining drama queen, Cash very calmly told her it was fine. Your dad's an alcoholic? So is mine. You think you know your dad inside and out? Your mom has known him for twenty years so she probably knows him better. I LOVED that Emily was reading The Royal We. Rock it, Fug Girls!! We already knew that Emily is awesome but now we have confirmation that she has good taste too! Edited March 17, 2016 by ElectricBoogaloo 3 Link to comment

madam magpie March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 His vows were painful. Hers were lovely... until this. I cringed. The whole thing made me cringe. It was all so over-the-top sappy and forced, even Rayna's talk with the girls. The song at the end actually made my teeth hurt, and I kept having to switch channels because I felt so embarrassed watching it. The only thing that felt natural was the sex at the end, and maybe that was just because no one was talking. 3 Link to comment
Soup333 March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 "A ring burned in the fire of our love" has got to be the worst line ever. I thought it was a nod to Watty White. Rayna previously quoted him as saying "Steel is forged in the fire." 2 Link to comment

Sutton March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 MM - "I felt so embarrassed watching it" and I thought it was only me feeling that way. Something was missing, something wasn't the same, the characters interacting with each other IMO seemed stiff. It didn't flow easily and "The only thing that felt natural was the sex at the end, and maybe that was just because no one was talking." It was kinda dark so we didn't get to see much of that either. Maybe I expected perfect being it was gone for so long and only got mediocre. You would have thought being this might be the last year Callie would have made sure they captured what they had in seasons 1/2. I'm a D/R shipper but even the characters didn't have that chemistry that always showed when they are in the same room, looking at each other close or at a distance, standing next to each other or just a few feet away. Then again maybe it's just me. Did they blow it not having Watty White (JD Souther) as Deacon's best man. Link to comment

I got a bit teary when he asked her to dance. Who the hell did they invite to the wedding to find such boring creatures for Scarlett to dance with. At least they didn't have Gunnar making googoo eyes at Scarlett every other shot. I know they are endgame, but they are my least favorite pairing. Poor Avery - he had a tough night. Once again, Emily is tops. Has she ever been anything but awesome? 1 Link to comment
Julie23 March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 Well, that draaamaaa was certainly over the top in this episode! Those girls are as bratty as can be. Who acts like that on their mother's "happiest day"? Brats, that's who. Yes, Colt, that was a really bad time to tell Layla what you saw. Dumbass. Poor Avery. He should have just gone up on stage, made an announcement that he and Juliette were separated because she was in re-hab, and dropped the mic. 3 Link to comment
roomtorome March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 Good grief, that was awful. Who is writing this thing? 12 year olds? (No offense to 12 year olds intended.) I couldn't really sit through much of it - They need to let this thing die and at least maybe try to go out with a smidge of dignity, though that ship seems to have already sailed. Too bad as there are some really terrific performers in this - they (and us) deserve better. 1 Link to comment
WhosThatGirl March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 I wish I did like this episode more. This show is probably done after this season so I am sort of glad they got these two married but honestly, I don't know if I was ever a big fan of the pairing too much. Like, I really don't. I watch reruns when they air on this channel and they are on the first season and I..just don't really get the love for Deacon and Rayna. I expect you all to throw things at me now, so ducking down. I still dislike Maddie a lot and still adore Daphne. I totally felt for her. And I don't like Layla. So, watching Juliette take her down is going to be fun. I feel bad that I just wasn't feeling it, but then again that might just be the show. It's been kind of luckluster and even a Rayna/Deacon wedding can't save it. 2 Link to comment

And yes to all the comments regarding how much R&D should have been talking to the girls all along. But this is a TV drama, so there must be DRAMA!! But my main concern was for The Hair! While the diamond clip she wore was beautiful, no one puts CB's hair in a corner. And while walking out of the wedding through an arch of fireworks was lovely, all I could think of was "Watch out for sparks!" 4 Link to comment
pattycat March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 Couples that write their own wedding vows, always make me cringe a little bit. I understand that it's meaningful to them, but, it always seems just a bit awkward and too intimate, to be publicly sharing with all their guests. I recently went to a wedding, where, it was so over the top, we were all shifting in our seats, and looking anywhere, but, at the couple. I didn't have any real problem with their vows, and, I thought, for the most part, the wedding itself, was fine. What wouldn't have been missed, was all the drama. What was needed, a lot more wedding night! When Connie and Chip are in the simplest scenes, is when their chemistry really shines. **Sidenote, Maisy Stella is 12. I can't imagine any 12 year old that I know, wearing that dress. It looked like something more for an 8 or 9 year old** I'm totally in agreement with not over sexualizing young girls, but, I'm sure they could have found something more age appropriate. 1 Link to comment
thuganomics85 March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 Well, at least the wedding actually happen, but I should have known it was going to be a journey to get to it, with Maddie and Daphne being brats, Tandy stirring up shit, and Deacon being Deacon, and doubting he deserves any happiness and almost getting cold feet. Classic Nashville! On one hand, yeah, I do agree violence should be avoided and I certainly don't think Deacon was right to shove the paparazzi guy and break his camera (the shove could be chalked up to be in the heat of the moment. Breaking the camera was more intentional). But the way Maddie was acting, you'd think he actually started pummeling the pap right in front of everyone, and putting his head through a car window. It was a crazy situation, and while Deacon should have kept his temper in check, I was expecting much worse the way she was acting. Whatever, Maddie. Oh, and would it kill you to lay off of Daphne? I'm sure everyone noticed she quit singing. No need to point it out. As for Daphne, she was being bratty, but I still give her some leeway, because of her youth and I can understand why she feels like she's disconnected from the rest. Especially the more Maddie treats her like a nuance. Kind of surprised Rayna even invited Tandy to the wedding, knowing how Tandy feels about Deacon and the way she acts. I guess I was suppose to find her final threat to Deacon about ever hurting Rayna menacing, but whatever. I'd be more concern over Ghost Lamar haunting Deacon from the grave, then Tandy. Avery dealing with Juliette fans and pretending to still be married seems to really be getting to him. I just want Juliette back stat. And I really want them to fully embrace this silly Oscar-storyline. I want her to feud with another Oscar contender, campaign, the whole nine yards, etc. Layla finally knows the truth about what happen to Jeff, and her goal now is to get back at Juliette by using Avery. Lovely. Gunnar shows himself to be the worst wingman ever, but at least he's fun. He and Scarlett are still idiots though, because it's obvious that they are the new Rayna/Deacon, and they just need to accept it before we get more of these dumb "obstacles." Hi, Will! Bye, Will!

Hate that Layla is being inserted in the story with her and Avery but I'll take what I can get. Also will love seeing scenes with Emily because she's awesome! You are just now asking Daphne about her issues with your marriage TODAY Rayna? When she's clearly been exhibiting behavior she never has before. Just now noticing Ray? Hmm that's nice. And good job making excuses for Deacon and his temper. Tandy being weary of Deacon is understandable because she's been around for all of it. Nice she wanted to stay for her sister though. Gunnar you are a terrible wingman but at least him and Scarlett were having fun together with no drama. Poor Avery. 5 Link to comment

WhosThatGirl March 18, 2016 Share March 18, 2016 (edited) I don't think Will needs a co writer. I think what he is doing now is writing songs for other singers to sing. Right now he is not getting a deal because he came out and everyone-according to the show-is a little afraid to have a gay artist to promote or something. So his way of making money is writing for them or with them. Edited March 18, 2016 by WhosThatGirl Link to comment

WhosThatGirl March 19, 2016 Share March 19, 2016 (edited) Yeah, I mean, I think they are very much aware that the show is probably not going to get picked up. It could, maybe but I doubt it and they are tying up the big loose end which seemed to be Rayna and Deacon. And they wanted to marry them off so that people wouldn't be mad if it didn't happen but I also agree that there is nothing left to do with the couple together and not being married or being apart. We've seen them apart many times, Rayna married, Rayna engaged and/or dating others, Deacon with others. There is nothing new with this couple to do. But also I'm just going to say it, there's nothing left on this show in general now. The big couple is married and I cannot believe they are going to make us sit though Lalya with crazy eyes and Juliette/Avery drama. Or how we're going to suffer though Scarlett and Gunner drama. Or Maddie being an insufferable brat Like, none of this is appealing anymore. And it's all stuff that they have done before. I'm hoping they let Will have a happy end to his story, he just seems to be all sad and depressed ALL THE TIME. But yeah, most of these stories are played out at this point. Season 1 of this show was pretty great, I say this because it currently is airing on this channel called XS monday-fridays and I will never forget HPS performance in the final episodes of that season.

Sandman March 19, 2016 Share March 19, 2016 (edited) Ganked from the recap: ... The degree to which this will not work will prove spectacular, but that doesn't mean the effort doesn't merit kudos. Love you this way, Gunnar! And I wasn't kidding about taking Avery and Will into your band, either! I can love Gunnar this way, too, even if his wingman flying skills are ridiculous. Also, please, someone, make the Wavery Exes Supergroup happen before the show ends! ... Emily's probably boning up because when it gets adapted for the screen, she wants to be able to lord her knowledge of it over all the other illiterate boneheads in her life. (Gunnar.) (You know it's true.) Hee! So true. ETA: Has any teenager ever said aloud that they liked the structure provided by curfews, chores and rules? It may be demonstrably true, and perhaps especially in Kolt's case, but it seems unlikely that any 17-year-old boy would admit it. Edited March 19, 2016 by Sandman Link to comment
WhosThatGirl March 20, 2016 Share March 20, 2016 I think the Colt thing is just showing us that Maddie is not going to like this version of his life- she wants fame and all night parties and singing! And Colt is liking having structure, probably because he hated living that celebrity life with Luke. Although it's odd, considering he wasn't living with Luke until two seasons ago, Colt was living more full time with his Mom and I doubt very much his mom was as hands off as Luke was. Unless I'm missing something? But I think Maddie is probably more so going to hate Colt the farmer boy. Or perhaps if the show surprised me, she likes it, maybe? I doubt that, I'm going with the former. 2 Link to comment
vibeology March 20, 2016 Share March 20, 2016 Honestly, Colt was one of the few things I enjoyed about this episode. He was wrong for springing that on Layla the way he did, but I get why a teenager would think that was the right thing to do and I admire him for wanting to be honest when it would have been much easier to go along with the adults in his life and lie. I also think after seeing Juliette in a very dark place and seeing how fame changed his dad that he's be happy with structure and willing to say so. I found the bulk of the episode boring. There was no tension with the wedding. I never doubted it would happen and everyone would be happy for Rayna and Deacon. The subplots were a little better, but there was so much unbelievable family drama that it sucked the fun out of the show. 1 Link to comment
Sandman March 20, 2016 Share March 20, 2016 I believe Colt is being sincere when he says he appreciates the stability his grandfather's providing -- it seems to be the one thing Luke was unable to give him. I just don't think it's very likely that Colt would admit it, especially to his girlfriend. But there have been times that Colt has been written as very evolved for someone of his years. It's just one of the many (many) things the show has been inconsistent about. I also think it's completely realistic for him to want to tell Layla at the first opportunity about what he knows about Jeff's death. Of course, Layla's reaction is on the Kimberly Shaw end of the realistic/adult reaction scale. (She couldn't see that (a) she was right that he wasn't suicidal; or, (b) he died trying to do the right thing?) Link to comment

Luke a better Parent? This would be the Luke that basically ignored Colt out on tour. That, didn't notice he was dead drunk, that, instead of helping him deal with the nightmare he had witnessed on the roof, Coerced him into silence, to protect, the brand. Luke that almost got into a physical altercation with Colt? Don't see him as a better parent! I believe Artsda specified that he was shown as a better parent to Daphne. He did seem considerate of her feelings, as I recall. Daphne's emotions made sense. Maddie, not so much. As much as Maddie's basic brattiness annoys me, I don't think it's totally unreasonable for her to be worried about Deacon's violent rages. It's one thing to have a "temper" - it's another to physically attack another person (even if there's justification). It is not a big leap to wonder if he'd be physically violent toward Rayna or one of them given the right stimulus. I like Deacon, but his two defaults - rage and woe-is-me, I'm a terrible person - are pretty offputting. 2 Link to comment
