Bella May 8, 2014 Share May 8, 2014 Who do you want to see shopping here? Who would make you barf? Discuss. Vow renewals are options for happily married women. Link to comment
roughing it May 8, 2014 Share May 8, 2014 I hate seeing people on SYTTD for famewhore publicity for their own shows: Mrs. Duggar for one. There is no way they were planning a "vow renewal" - it was just a way to cross-promote. 3 Link to comment
Bella May 8, 2014 Author Share May 8, 2014 We'll be doing a Sex and the City rewatch here on PTV this summer (I'm so excited!), and I'd like to see the character Samantha try on gowns at Kleinfeld's. Maybe Miranda, too. Link to comment
Julia May 8, 2014 Share May 8, 2014 Buddy's wife from Cake Boss did a cross-promotion with all her sisters-in-law shopping for her vow renewal, and they did this little skit where the brassy obnoxious SIL hijacked the appointment to try on dresses for no particular reason (including, I seem to recall, a dress that the wife was interested in). It was really, really obnoxious, and I don't know why it was supposed to make me want to spend more time watching her. Link to comment
roamyn May 9, 2014 Share May 9, 2014 Me! For my 30th next year! LOL Jill & Derrick, Brad Pitt & Angelina Julie and then Justin Thibidoux & Jennifer Anniston show up in the same episode;Zach & his fiancee (Erin?) - but NO Matt & Amy; FLOTUS & POTUS for a vow renewal; Robin Roberts & her g/friend (I don't think they're engaged, but let's make it so!). 2 Link to comment

algebra August 2, 2015 Share August 2, 2015 The Duggar episode was horrendous, absolutely horrendous. She asked for a dress that was "modern modesty." Instead of a dress with sleeves, or a jacket, she wore a strapless dress over what was either a satin t-shirt or maybe it was Mormon underwear. I wasn't sure. It looked ridiculous. The whole episode was ridiculous. The younger children were bored and crawling around on the floor. I think vow renewals are silly anyway. If you want to rekindle romance, just go on a 2nd honeymoon 1 Link to comment
Ambrosefolly September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 I think vow renewals are silly anyway. If you want to rekindle romance, just go on a 2nd honeymoon I am almost the complete opposite especially if the couple were poor and had a cheap ass crap wedding, like the bride got married at her husband's frat house wearing a cheap sundress, or the flying Wallendas, who married at a court before they were legally allow to drink. Rather have a couple get the chance to do it up right after 15, 20, or 25 years than to try and hijack their offsprings' wedding. In fact, I am now of the mind set of maybe having a small, inexpensive wedding and have a lavish renewal at one of the big anniversaries, they earned it. But only once. 1 Link to comment
Kohola3 September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 I guess I can see both sides but only to a point. You can only have one wedding (well, one per husband/wife) because that's exchange of vows that makes you a married couple. A vow renewal is fine but I can't see doing the whole virginal-white-dress, veil, and umpteen attendants thing. A vow renewal between two (ostensibly) mature adults doesn't have to be Wedding 2.0. A nice party for friends and family and a fancy-schmancy dress is really more appropriate in my opinion. And for Pete's sake, ditch the veil. There were a whole lot of historical reasons as to why they were/are worn but none of them include anything about a "bride" with gray hair and a bunch of kids. 1 Link to comment
Ambrosefolly September 3, 2015 Share September 3, 2015 Its a free country, the couple can do what ever the heck they want and if want Wedding 2.0, then let them have it. 1 Link to comment
algebra September 19, 2015 Share September 19, 2015 I agree that anybody can have a "do-over" if she wants but that puts her into the Bridezilla-it's-all-about-me category. And then she is on the wrong show. Link to comment

I would not do a vow renewal but that is me. If a couple eloped due to budget, had a courthouse thing but wanted more.....then go ahead!! But I already attended your lavish affair ten/twenty five years ago.....sorry. You are SO ON POINT about NOT hijacking a wedding because yours was a budget affair or your mother ran the show and insisted on glitz when you wanted small. When I go to glitzy all out affair these days I wonder who really wanted it.....bride or groom or a set of parents. 2 Link to comment
Frozendiva July 16, 2017 Share July 16, 2017 Sometimes it's the bride and groom who want the fairy tale big day. Spending thousands and thousands could have gone toward a house or furniture. Sometimes it is the parents. They want to outdo their friends or relatives who had lavish weddings for their children. And they also have had to go to a number of weddings and buy expensive gifts, so it's time to recoup some of the costs. I was invited to two of my first cousin's sons weddings. Haven't really had anything to do with them most of my life. They certainly do not know me or have ever spent any more than a couple of hours with me in all their lives. Why was I invited? To bring a gift. And also invited alone - no plus one. I didn't go to either. One cousin who got married didn't invite many relatives - she says that she doesn't know them and that's fair. Why invite people you haven't had anything to do with. My family is fractured. Some have feuds, some have no interest in me, some I have had no contact with since my parents died, or since I was a little girl. No idea who they are and I certainly have no way to contact them. 1 Link to comment

I do not like any cross promotion either from anyone on a TLC chow. I click it off anytime I hear the word "aspiring actress" (comedian, performer, stand up, anything!) as they will be there to mug and put on a drama. I also want to halt the dads who have a borderline skeevy relationship with daughter. And because I have a cold black heart: Stop with the brides with a deceased mother. I will see myself to hell...... 2 Link to comment
cpcathy July 21, 2017 Share July 21, 2017 Or if you have a bride with a deceased mother, no caterwalling over it. "What would she want me to do?" "I wish she was HERE!" I have a deceased mother, I picked out a dress, bought it, wore it, no fuss, no muss. If she had still been with us, she would have told me I looked pretty and been done with it. No big deal. 4 Link to comment

(I did the first time in 1994 and it was.....stressful.) Not that I don't love her and miss her, shopping just wasn't her thing!! Yes, the caterwalling....."What would she want? What would she like?" Okay, how about what YOU like? What do YOU want? The capper was the woman who planned her entire dress around making her lovely floor length dress into a high/low to show off her deceased mother-in-law's hot pink shoes. So you want the focus not on you and your groom but on a dead woman's shoes? Link to comment
cpcathy July 21, 2017 Share July 21, 2017 With the shoes, she could have just made sure her photographer got a photo of the shoes, either her wearing them or on their own. I was actually wearing one of the only things I have from my mother, a little gold leaf pin, on my dress. 2 Link to comment

I wore the pearls I bought with some of the money I inherited from her with my wedding gown. I also wore a red ribbon pinned into the waistline of my dress for one of my friends who died two months later due to complications of AIDS. I actually bought my dress after seeing it in the former BBW Magazine. It was available via catalog. I bought it, had it altered, and didn't need fifteen of my friends or a camera crew to help me pick it out. 5 Link to comment
