First, if the family admires Caryn, they deserve every bit of whatever they're going to end up feeling when they realize Caryn's all about the benjamins and Matt is as selfish as he's ever been.

The more confused I become about possible reasons for the dogged defense of Matt and Caryn, the more I think about the comparison @funky-rat made above regarding Josh Duggar. I'm not a fundamentalist

A woman in her mid 50s like Amy, who has "lived on the farm for 30 years" and has mountains of 'things' to throw away or donate does NOT need a bridal shower. The purpose of a bridal shower, if they d

Chris reacts just fine around the grandkids.  If he was too huggy kissy, everyone would call him a pervert around kids.  If he wanted them to spend the night more often, he would be roasted.  He shows appropriate actions around the little ones at all times.  When you try too hard it stands out, but this isn't about Caryn.

I think part of the reason for Amy wanting a big wedding is for the show.   Amy and Matt are seasoned reality stars, they know how to keep a tv show on the air for many years.  I believe Chris and Amy's bickering is also show driven.  I have to admit, they are far more interesting than Matt and Caryn and their boring do nothing relationship.   Matt knows he has a bad reputation for being a lousy husband and barely there father, so he's playing the good guy part and letting Amy take all of the viewers lumps.   I almost admire his cunning...lol.

I think this whole obsession with rocks as favours is all about Amy being CHEAP!

She is trying to hide it behind her love of heart shaped rocks but I'm not buying it, it's all about doing the cheapest thing possible and presenting it as something sentimental.

That's why she wouldn't listen to Chris's idea because she knew whatever he would suggest would cost money and she wants to be as cheap as possible.

I think Chris knows that and is embarrassed to give rocks to his friends and family after they travel to his wedding, bring presents and spend money to celebrate his special day.

Amy has NO CLASS and she's the worst kind of MISER!

She wants grandma showers, wedding showers, wedding presents,, give me, give me, GIVE ME!

She's Scrooge McDuck waddling around in her money bin.

I mean, maybe, but a quick lookup on yahoo under "how much should a bride spend on wedding favors" gets this from a Martha Stewart article. 

"As general rule of thumb, most couples spend anywhere from $2 to $3 on each wedding favor, but this estimate isn't set in stone. A bride and groom should consider two main factors when setting a price point: their budget and the size of the guest list. Those with large celebrations will generally spend less per person on the favors, or else the total cost might surpass several hundred dollars."

I mean, lets not act like wedding favors are supposed to be Faberge eggs.

I think the wedding guests should give the bride and groom heart shaped rocks as wedding presents since that’s something that Amy loves so much and as she said it symbolizes their relationship!  👍🏻

Maybe I’m cheap, a bad friend, or just hate having extra stuff around, but do the guests normally care if they get a favor?  I’d rather get no favor than a rock.  I mean unless it’s maybe your child getting married, do I really need a memento from somebody else’s wedding?  I’d rather use the money on more/better food or a better band.  I just think Amy thinks her wedding is way more important to her guests than it probably is. Those rocks are going in the trash or being left behind.

Now I get it...it's Amy being literal.

No, most people don't want more junk lying around (with the exception of Amy); that's why a nicely presented sample of her fudges would have been the perfect consumable gift.  At least I assume it's consumable.

The quote was from Martha Stewart magazine.

Help me out - if the favor was her fudge, wouldn't that generate complaints of how cheap she was and how gross her fudge is?

More seriously, consumables aren't always a great idea as party favors because of allergy and health concerns.

Again, wedding favors are not expected to be super expensive. Between labor and actually buying the rocks and the paint supplies, the stupid rock idea is more expensive than the 2 to 3 dollar acceptable wedding favor budget. Its a dumb idea but most wedding favors are.

I'm trying to picture her using this kitchen. How does she reach the microwave and oven? Even with a stool, it could be dangerous for her taking things out of the oven. It seems like the new island could have been expanded to accommodate her better and move the range into it somehow, as well as the microwave. It looks like the island is just a lower version of what was already there.

Throw in Felix the Hoover Dog scarfing up whatever falls on the floor, and it's an accident waiting to happen -- on video.  You don't have to try to picture it; watch "Amy Roloff's Little Kitchen" on YouTube!  Basically she just lowered the island (why bother; use the stool there, too) and changed the color of the cabinets and flooring from dark to light just as she did at the farmhouse, which Matt hated, by the way.

Regarding the rock favors, I think favors should reflect the couple getting married.  When I got married we gave retro lunch boxes with a collectible figurine, square nails, chocolate and candy.  To be honest, we didn't really think about what attendees wanted, we thought about what represented us.  We hoped they would enjoy the food items and would remember the lunch boxes from their childhood.  And the figurines were just something to play with.

If I got the rock, I'd probably leave it on the table or drop it in a park.  I wouldn't judge too harshly.  As I mentioned, they are all over Portland.

What a great idea filling retro lunch boxes with items and treats that represented you and your spouse! It's so imaginative! I can see Amy's guests all leaving the rocks in a big pile in front of her door.

Just me, but the entire day is "about the couple."  I think the one thing that should be "about the guests" (chosen to suit and please them; not another narcissistic homage to the hosts themselves) is the guest gift.

Reminds me of couples who fell in love over a banana split, so the wedding dinner is an ice cream bar, mindless of family and friends who are diabetic, overweight, or looking for a substantive meal in the middle of a long day.

Clearly you haven't watch any of her cooking videos.  What a treat they are.  From watching her lick her fingers (and then saying, oops, I know I'm not supposed to do that), to obliterating simple words, to getting ingredients on her hands and then dusting, or better yet, SCRAPING the ingredients off her hands BACK INTO the bowl (yummy skin cells), to taking bites that are way too big and then talking with her mouth full, to using bowls that are way too small, to winging the recipe by not measuring, to not having everything in front of her before she begins the video...you are really missing out.   Oh, I forgot over stirring.  She loves that.  Please, take 10 minutes out of your day, watch a snippet, and report back here.

Unless I'm missing something about Chris, these silly rock-wedding favors do not reflect Chris at all. They are all "Amy" and what she likes. Frankly, I'm surprised that Amy didn't even hear Chris out about what he would suggest as wedding favors. I think a wedding is about the couple, not either individual, completely. Chris is only the "stand-in" groom that Amy needs to complete HER fantasy wedding.

Pictures of the rocks are over on reddit. They look good. 

I still think its a dumb idea but at least it looks nice.

Pics posted today show Izzy and Ember painting rocks.  Guess she wore Lisa and Deb plumb out!  How selfish...

I mean maybe, but perhaps Izzy - artsy as I recall - just wanted to help out and do something fun with the neice?

Heheh I think you're granting Amy more power than she has. I'm sure it will get done, if it isn't already, and I kinda doubt Amy will be twisting arms to get it done. When there's actual evidence of Amy coercing people or forcing them to help, I'll get on board.

Amy could have just went with these, they’re affordable and just as important to the #StoryofAmyRandChrisM.  Dare I say MORE important than a rock 🪨!!

I guess Chris ended up washing the rocks LOL, wonder if he asked Matt to help him LOL.  It was nice of Izzy to help paint them.  I wonder if Deb and Lisa got tired or we will be treated to another video of them painting. Maybe they can finish them on the post wedding shower trip.  I wonder if Tori and Audrey got a chance to help out.

Re the kitchen remodel: They kept the cabinets and appliances. The oven is a double oven, so the lower one is accessible. The microwave looks impossible without a step ladder. I did a similar semi-remodel with my kitchen but decided to upgrade the appliances and continue to live with the floor. 

Amy uses a stool with the island, and the island counter is still too high. She can't see into the bowls of stuff she's stirring, so the ingredients don't always get mixed well. She has trouble handling the stand mixer too.  The stove is a huge problem, I think, and having Felix underfoot is inviting trouble.  

Given how haphazard these cooking videos seem, I'm surprised there hasn't been an accident. Maybe there has, but the video didn't make it to Youtube. 

As for the rocks, who wouldn't want a rock painted by one of the Roloff celebrities--a collectible for the ages.

 Those rocks😂  Looks like Ember was there helping, that makes complete sense since it is a perfect child’s activity.  

I paused the video a couple times and from what I could see Izzy’s blue rock with heart and daisies looked a lot better than any of the others on the table…. I can see why they chose to use hers… the others were blech!

and really I’ve seen Embers art from a few weeks ago… it was blobs with streaks and she said it was a picture of herself with Bode and mommy… she’s too young to do any real rock painting… hopefully they’re just letting her play paint and won’t use her rocks as favours.

Izzy is an artist, so the ones she did will probably be the best ones.  I would have no use for even the nicest one, would dump it or leave it there if I were a wedding guest.  Thankfully I am not invited either.😂

Looks like Amy's in charge of applying the base paint while Izzy's doing the (very labor-intensive) actual decorating.  I could do about two of those, and I'd be done.
