Baltimore Betty January 1, 2018 Share January 1, 2018 If the JW bride could not enter a church of a different faith why would she want to be on this show or why would the producers want her on this show if she could not fully participate? I have been to a JW wedding, it was odd that they did not do vows in the traditional way, it was a wedding talk. I felt a little out of place but the bride was a close co-worker and I was excited she was getting married, nobody tried to convert me so I am unclear why it would not be okay for the JW bride to attend the other ceremonies.

Quof January 1, 2018 Share January 1, 2018 I've always believed, yet seen no insider confirmation, that the entire "surprise" honeymoon is a lie. I like to track down the couples, if they have a distinctive last name, and have found some of their wedding websites. "Mary and Bob will be honeymooning in Hawaii." They won, and guess where their surprise honeymoon was? I think the brides already have the honeymoon planned and, if they win, the show pays. Otherwise, they take, and pay for, the honeymoon they always planned to take. How else to explain the disparity between couples who win a trip to a 3 star all-inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic, and those who go on a tour of the Greek Islands?

That one total bitch bride - specifically, Danielle in FL who won the trip to South Africa - actually made a not so pleased face & said "South Africa?", as in 'wtf?' She seemed not too happy or thankful. Then again, I do think they plan them in a particular way; I'm just not sure what they do exactly. For example they seemed to know what was happening when two couples won. There was a tie & unlike in Canada where they make the losing brides choose (seriously, not kidding), they gave the honeymoon to both couples. They got vacations to Florida & tried to act happy about it. I chuckled. It's definitely not random. My thought is the show finds out who wins, then plans where the couple is going, so they already know what couple is going where when the reveal is filmed.

She also had her teenage daughter dressed as a "Junior Bride" (not bridesMAID, mind you) but her dress was more bridal than her mother's.

I cannot believe that some of the brides with the over the top events did not also plan and go on a honeymoon regardless if they won or not. If someone is paying out over 50K for the wedding, what is another few thousand for a trip. There are bound to be contestants who were there simply for the opportunity to be on TV. Honeyfunds! For last wedding we went to the bride sent everyone a list of activities she and the groom would like to do while on their honeymoon (walking on hot coals was one as I recall) and gave us all the opportunity to pay for them. Um...thanks, but no thanks. She got a shower gift and wedding gift from us for her first wedding and another wedding gift for her second wedding...this well is now dry.

NowVoyager January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 (edited) Hm. The jury's out on the new format. It's definitely different. I missed the first hour. The first bride I saw was the one with the beer hall themed reception (cute) & beer themed tattoos (tacky); & the leafy decor on the tables (cute) & in the bride's hair (not so cute.) Mommy should have been less concerned about her dress--- the second one that the bride chose suited her--- & more concerned about that head piece. Ugh! She looked soo much more beautiful throughout the rest of the show, with simple hair & makeup that didn't detract from her lovely face. They served mildly spiced cajun/creole cuisine. I get why, but they should have had hot sauce on the tables. Also, the male guests were killing me with those plaid shirts, collars open, sleeves rolled up. I'm sure the dress code was casual, but they could've done a lil bit better. She finished third. I was typing during the last bride's wedding so I missed a lot. I loved the color of her dress! It was perfect for her porcelain skin & hair coloring. Perfectly timed sunset wedding--- soo hard to pull off! Soo many things can go wrong. She had lots of greenery in the decor, too. Maybe that's a new trend. And she won! I like the inclusion of the husbands & them showing up at the end with flowers, too. The men handled themselves with class & were supportive of their ladies. I want to go back & watch the whole show. I don't understand the new scoring system & I want to pay attention to the budgets. I'm home hiding out from negative wind chill, sigh, so I have time.

ichbin January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 (edited) This show does not need to be two hours long, particularly since I usually find at least one bride to be annoying (this time looking at you, Ambri) who is more than eager to play to the cameras. I don't need all the lead up and groom time either. When they actually got to the weddings, it seemed like there was less time spent on those than in the old format. At least the weddings were fairly low key with no over the top nonsense going on. Not buying that these are four friends who usually hang out together. It seems more like four people, with each having at least one friend or acquaintance in common with one of the others. Hope all the new shows aren't going to be like this one. The winning wedding couple is on The Knot. Took place in Oct. 2017, so at least that wedding took place very recently.

I was bored by this episode, strangers throwing a little shade is way more entertaining than seeing old college friends being tactful. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4797-four-weddings-general-discussion/page/15/#findComment-3944305

Sounds like it - I tuned in a bit to the rerun and it seemed kinda boring. No shade throwing? No giving a 4 due to lack of dental floss? No complaining about sitting in the Florida sun and baking like you are sitting on the sun?

It was the only wedding I missed :(. I serious hope the two hours was only for the premier. Some of us are old. I dont think Ambrias dress fitted her properly. It wasn’t the right dress for her. I don’t know what her mom was thinking. I know not everyone drinks, but I have bad thoughts about a dry wedding. Bad ones. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4797-four-weddings-general-discussion/page/15/#findComment-3944438

A few years ago I worked in sales for a huge catering company, we could have 5 weddings at the same time for an afternoon and turn those rooms over for 5 weddings for the evenings every weekend, some brides did not want alcohol...the guests would either duck in to the wedding next door or keep their stash in the car and duck out to the parking lot to drink. I think when you make a decision to not serve alcohol that is not being a good hostess not to mention people don't want to dance without the benefit of booze, lol.

Spunkygal January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 First, I agree that this does not need to be two hours long and I wonder if only this episode was two hours because it is the season premiere after a long drought of no new episodes. Hope they go back to the hour format. Second, YAY!!!!!! Adam is the groom who we know! He is a sports chiropractor in a wonderful clinic that we have gone to for several years. He is a sweetheart in the truest sense. We only know him professionally, not socially, so we don't know Amanda but she seems to be a lovely person. I remember when they moved in together and he is so in love. Last week several of the staff in the clinic, who claim they didn't know who won, said that the setting was gorgeous and that the food was amazing. I have used the caterer before and they are one of the best. Adam's brother is Randy Rogers of the Randy Rogers Band, a very well known and popular c&w group, not just in Texas. I asked if Randy performed and was told that he wrote and performed a song for the couple. I am sure he was not singled out on the show because he wanted it to be about Adam and Amanda. He was the best man and had a full beard. I was biased while watching the show and am thrilled that Adam and Amanda won. When I was leaving the clinic the other day, Adam was walking a client to a treatment room. I said "did you win?" He gave a huge grin and said "you'll have to watch on Saturday!" It was also fun seeing familiar faces in the reception. I don't know how much all four brides really know each other. I think they may have a friend or friends in common and maybe a couple of them are really close. It doesn't matter to me. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4797-four-weddings-general-discussion/page/15/#findComment-3944621
Lady Iris January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 (edited) I think all the couples were lovely people. But this new format isn't going to do it for me. Not to mention the scoring system is completely backwards. Instead of the overall experience being rated on a 1-10 scale, the venue, food, dress and originality are getting the 1-10 scoring and the overall experience is getting the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place ratings. It was a bust for me. I'll likely still watch it but I'm bummed it's not the original format.

As someone who just got hitched and was on several wedding boards, talking about a dry wedding is like.....the devil. Truly. Other posters will literally gang up on someone who suggests either a dry wedding or.....(gasp) a cash bar. But yes, alcohol helps people unwind and be more social. I am not a drinker but I have zero problem with drinking at weddings. Nor do I care if people have to shell out for a whiskey sour - but hey I am mellow that way. 1 hour ago, Lady Iris said: Not to mention the scoring system is completely backwards.

I don't see it on the schedule for next Saturday night. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4797-four-weddings-general-discussion/page/15/#findComment-3945051

auntjess January 8, 2018 Author Share January 8, 2018 I recorded it, but hadn't watched it yet. Sounds like I don't need to. I'll drop in here occasionally, to see if the show gets any better.

gonecrackers January 8, 2018 Share January 8, 2018 I don't believe any of these people were good friends; they just knew each other somehow. The one girl even said 'we went to college together' or something like that. Not, we were great friends all through college - no, I'm not believing this at all. This new format really stinks. I agree it's too long & drawn out; way too much background information that's just boring. Definitely agree they get rid of the shade, they've ruined the show. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4797-four-weddings-general-discussion/page/15/#findComment-3946325
carpedi7 January 8, 2018 Share January 8, 2018 The new format is definitely weird but I did kind of like getting to know and see the husbands a little bit more. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4797-four-weddings-general-discussion/page/15/#findComment-3946456
