I do have a question about Zoranda's wedding though: Her ceremony was a Jewish ceremony yet her dress had bare shoulders. I thought that was a no no, but maybe because it was not in a temple it was okay? Karen was such a sweetie - I loved her dress, I loved her venue. Any of the three could have won and I would have been fine with it. But Marie was ROBBED! It was GRAND THEFT, I tell you!! 2 Link to comment

I have a very thin friend who only eats those things and sweets. Also, on an earlier Four Weddings episode, there was a bride who only ate those things, and even ordered a kid's chicken fingers meal at one of the weddings. She was very thin and pretty. I say this to say that judging a book by my last two examples cover would be wrong.

gonecrackers August 18, 2018 Share August 18, 2018 Real late to the party & sorry for any repeat comments; a few random thoughts follow. Josie, geesh, what a bitch. But the other two with the 'too fancy' on the food - again geesh, they looked so stupid. And salad is also 'too fancy'? The only foods they seem to eat are mac & cheese, baked beans, pork... I was almost gleeful when I finally saw a damn salad. Taiya or whatever her name was must've stopped for some burgers on the way home. And jeans & tank top, really? Couldn't do any better - a flannel shirt maybe? Josie looked like a sausage in her first dress. Maybe it was her eyes, but Chelsey always looked wired up. Rachel & Josh didn't fit in with this group at all. The cake smashing must stop. Maybe I'm 'too fancy', but hell to the no on a dirt floor. I'm lousy with names & need more names shown on the TH's; takes me the whole show to know who is who. Rachel should have won. This show is too damn long. 4 Link to comment

Beaner August 19, 2018 Share August 19, 2018 (edited) Late to the party...after reading everyone's reviews, I took one for the team and watched it this evening. My eyes hurt from rolling them so much. How in the hell does someone win when they had a dry wedding? No. No. No. I know cash bars are considered tacky, but if you can't afford an open bar, give your guests the option of buying drinks! A bottle of wine at each table would come to maybe $300 total? I like to party at weddings and understand that there might be circumstances where it would be inappropriate (bride and groom in recovery, or religion...) But was that food so expensive that you couldn't budget $1,000 for beer and wine (and Jell-O shots are very economical. Just sayin') Everything else I have to say about these yahoos has been said very eloquently. Rachel and Josie were robbed. If you can afford a pair of brand spanking new overalls for wedding garb, you can buy a pair of khakis at Kohl's for $30 or Goodwill for $5. In the original format of Four Weddings, Taia would have scored a 30...hee hee. I'm over the rustic/country chic barn/winery weddings. The cutesy chalkboard signs & mason jars I used to like a lot. Now it's like meh. so where do I find these people on Facebook? I wanna get on there and add my support to the nice brides. Edited August 19, 2018 by Beaner forgot something 4 Link to comment
Deni August 19, 2018 Share August 19, 2018 (edited) Besides the 2hrs., the longer backstories, friendships, new scoring/categories, and the husbands attending, I’ve been trying to figure out what is different about this new format. The other things that I’ve noticed are: The fake music doesn’t really have vocals now, the brides aren’t shown together in their wedding dresses anymore, we don’t see the brides doing goofy dancing when they are introduced, also when they are introduced we don’t hear one bride say something like, “I don’t like fake flowers,” then the next bride says, “We’re having all fake flowers.” when she is introduced.

Irlandesa August 19, 2018 Share August 19, 2018 Yeah, I thought the right people won tonight. It cracked me up that it was the couple who let their wedding planner just take care of everything. And I loved the guy on roller skates mid-wedding. Loved! Meanwhile, another bride fired her wedding planner and ended up with similar decor as she had originally intended and plastic. 5 Link to comment

Lizzing August 19, 2018 Share August 19, 2018 I just do NOT understand why Jaye held her dry wedding at a vineyard. I'm not a fan of dry weddings, but if--as she stated--they had a number of people in recovery in their families, having a dry wedding is just fine. But do it somewhere else! They were in the Atlanta area where there are many, many places to hold a wedding. Pick any one of them! And I don't get the "mix up" over the horse drawn carriage vs. vintage Rolls....on the vineyard's web site, both are available for the package she must have gotten (based on the number of guests). Sounds like production had a hand in that. I can't remember if it was Sonji or Jessica who had mac & cheese at her wedding, but after last week's disposable hotel pans of what looked to be Kraft Dinner, it was nice to see proper mac & cheese, with the browned cheesey top. The new scoring system sucks. I'm not even sure what "originalilty" means any more; one bride gave good marks because fireworks were "original", though we've seen that a ton of times on past episodes. Then one bride (Jessica, I think) docked Markesha's originality score because, although the nearly naked roller skater was original (I don't think that's been done before!), it wasn't to her liking. So what is it: points for truly unusual elements, or points for elements that are kinda common but not at the other 3 weddings? Then, on the food, the one bride (Sonji IIRC) docked points because shrimp was served and she doesn't eat fish but she liked the other food. I'd only mark down the shrimp is if that was ALL they had to eat and I couldn't eat fish. (That's happened in weddings my parents & sister have attened, all of whom have varying degrees of fish allergies. Cake is always safe, but that's not dinner.) But if the chicken was great and she could eat it, why even bother about the shrimp? All in all, with the points system instead of the 1st/2nd/3rd rankings, it seems the brides are more overt in trying to manipulate the score to their own favor. That being said, the right wedding won on this episode. And I want to find Sonji's baker, because all three of those cakes looked beyond delicious. 6 Link to comment
BradandJanet August 19, 2018 Share August 19, 2018 Everybody seemed to like each other and the weddings were nice. The drama was low key. However, how could super detail oriented Jaye have budget-busting items like fireworks, an ice sculpture, and two gowns and not know the meal was being served on plastic? That's a pretty big detail. I laughed that the friends table brought their own flask. The nearly naked skater startled me. I guess the wedding party was in on the joke, though. The city setting was my favorite, but that's my taste. The weddings were pretty standard, but they didn't look Pinterest-y. Points for that. 2 Link to comment
WarnerCL45 August 19, 2018 Share August 19, 2018 Is mac & cheese the new food-du-jour for weddings? I don't get it!

Enigma X August 19, 2018 Share August 19, 2018 Homemade mac and cheese not boxed (where you bake, season, and use different cheeses--sometimes add meat and veggies, depending on preference) is a special-occasion food for African Americans ( maybe southerners too--not sure).

The rest of your comment made me chuckle because last year the Food Network showcased a stove top mac and cheese with brussel sprouts and carriage that prompted comedian Kevonstage (who is African-American) to post an angey video in response because he felt that they desecrated mac and cheese. I don't think Jaye had a dry wedding for her sober family members, but because she couldn't afford alcohol or wasn't willing to increase her budget. Jaye came across as fake to me. Even if the winery served food on plastic plates she could have rented dinnerware. Also, in the beginning I think I heard her bragging not only about the horse and carriage, but also a Bentley and neither one ended up being at the wedding. If I'm wrong and she really did do it for her family, a winery is not the place for a dry wedding. It's akin to having a pizza party with no pizza or a fashion show with no fashions. Also, I can't believe there was no plan B for the rainy day bride. Don't outdoor venues usually offer a backup plan in case of inclement weather? The right wedding won. The wedding planner did an excellent job of executing the theme and everything was beautiful. I don't know how many more 2 hour episodes I can sit throug though.

She seemed panicked to get it all done a certain way at the end, & it was in no way competition for any of the other weddings. Her second dress in particular was hideous. The right wedding won but that naked roller skater is not something that was good for making a memory. That was tasteless, stupid & so inconsiderate to his wife. I hope he doesn't have any other obnoxious surprises in store for her in her life, but she picked him so good luck to her there. I may seem harsh but that crap during a wedding ceremony really pissed me off. One bride made an interesting comment at the end about how happy she was that they were able to attend each other's weddings, & I can't recall exactly what she said but it seemed to be in context of being on the show together. That kind of confirmed to me that these folks, aside from a few relationships, are generally not all that close for real, but rather most of them probably just know each other & aren't actually friends.

That's a good woman Sonji has there--comfortable in her own skin and in any sort of crowd. I may have a little girl crush! I'm sorry they didn't win. Jaye. Gurrrl. "Finer Things" does NOT equal plastic plates. I had me a tent wedding, and though we did use plastic cups for the bar (we were in a brick courtyard, and glasses were more likely to get dropped and broken as the party got going; we are practical people), we had proper plates and cutlery. She was a classic case of spending her money on herself (2 dresses, grand entrance vehicle) rather on her guests. Or maybe she had to cheap out because she fired her wedding planner and basically started all over again a few weeks before the wedding? She probably would have been better off staying the course and putting her own twist on the things that were duplicated at Sonji's wedding. Her quest to stand out sure did backfire. 9 Link to comment

Love2dance August 21, 2018 Share August 21, 2018 Am I the only one completely disappointed that a bride who had absolutely no input into the food, entertainment, originality, etc., of her wedding won? Her wedding planner should have gone on the honeymoon. 12 Link to comment

I can’t believe the bride won who had no alcohol and the dirt floor in the barn. And the one (can’t remember names) had normal wedding food, potato’s, Mac and cheese, etc...and they thought it was too ‘fancy’!? No offense to anyone but I’ve heard in the southern states people will wear jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts and shorts to weddings as well as funerals. Not only in Southern states. I went to a funeral yesterday and was appalled at what the younger people wore. Super short bandage dresses, hot pants and midriff baring tops, very short skirts and too tight t-shirts and one guy in jeans and a t-shirt with a nasty graphic. And this is in Pennsylvania. 2 Link to comment
