 Elizabeth is in love with how quirky Elizabeth thinks she is.

Elizabeth doesn’t realize that Elizabeth needs to have a seat and close her mouth!

I think it's sweet.  There is such a negative stereotype of black fathers not being there for their children.  It was nice to see two black fathers there for their daughters.

While it's nice for any father of any race to be there for their children, I think that Elizabeth's and Iris's fathers were over the top.  Deonna's father was very calm and composed and I'd bet that he cares just as much about his daughter as the other fathers.

That was Amber’s mom.  She was trying to make him feel comfortable because he didn’t have his own mom there to dance with.  

No, I was talking about the announcer who called for Matt's mother.

I don't know, I think that people just emote differently.  It's not right or wrong, it just is.  People express themselves differently. 

And there is a negative stereotype around black fathers, so for me, it's nice to see black fathers care.

I like Keith's mom.

[VioletNevermind]

God Almighty, this daffy woman doesn’t know how to renew her damn registration?!  And she asks her father to pay for it?!  Wow.  Their dysfunctional relationship is becoming increasingly clear.  I would be ashamed for anyone to know that about me at her age.

[OnTime]

All this slow motion is driving me crazy.  There are trying to make such a production.

[PityFree]

 OK that’s it for me with Elizabeth. A 30-year-old woman who can’t manage to renew the tags on her license plates is ridiculous. It’s not cute to act helpless. And dad is not innocent; raise your kids so they know how to be competent adults.

Of course people emote differently.  Doesn't mean I have to like it and I'm free to comment as I see fit.  

[aphroditewitch]

I have a feeling that Elizabeth's father has encouraged this sort of  "helplessness" by always doing everything for her.

Iris's father Tony reminds me of some actor but I can't put my finger on it.

[PityFree]

“Oh hi, New MIL! Let me tell you all about my hymen!”

[VioletNevermind]

Damn, Elizabeth’s bridesmaids going for the jugular with Jamie! 

[Ohwell]

Elizabeth's bridesmaids are as crazy as she is, asking Jamie questions about sex.

Momma's gonna tell!  

[humbleopinion]

When Tony is on screen do you hear banjo music?

He looks like the golfer Curtis Strange.

Eliz’s mom Drema looks like Shirley MacLaine.

Amber looks like Zosia Mamet, the character Shoshanna from Girls.

Iris’ Dad, Tony looks like Ving Rhames

I don't know if Keith's mother should have spilled the beans about Iris' virginity.

Okay now I am a puddle of tears as Amber's mom stepped up and asked Matt to dance. Damn Lifetime production for not giving the emcee a heads up.

Surely that was producer driven? Is it really that strange to see a white wedding dress and comment on it? My god. 

[Mercolleen]

Aren't they all wearing white? This is dumb.

[PityFree]

 But is it really?? Is vaginal itch really more common than the common cold?? 

[aphroditewitch]

Every season the attendants and friends grill the couple about whether they will have sex on the wedding night. 

[Gem 10]

So far, I’m liking all these couples more than all the others in the past.  All good looking, respectable, and nice families.  OMG, Iris’s Father crying.  I blubbered like a baby when I danced with my Son at his wedding.  So embarrassed.  It was really nice of Amber’s Mom to dance with Matt. He should of at least asked hisMom to come, but who knows why.  I felt bad for him.

[aphroditewitch]

It is really gross that they have someone other than Iris tell Keith that she is a virgin.

Yeah I like Keith's mom but I definitely think that was producer driven.

I hope it was; it sounded scripted though.

[2727]

I loved Iris' mom getting a juicy tidbit and running straight to her son with it: "Ooooh, child!" So human.

My guess is that MAFS production straight up told the DJ to call for Matt's mother.

Were none of the women shown how to bustle their dresses?

I am behind so have not seen this yet but I guess I never got the memo that ONLY virgins can wear white. Nor would it ever occur to me that wearing ivory, ecru, eggshell, off white, etc would mean one definitely isn't. Wear whatever damn shade complements. 

 To the cake smushing part. I hate that SO much!

[PityFree]

Deonna is wearing sneakers with her dress! Love it!

[Mercolleen]

Iris is full of lust!

[OnTime]

Are we really to believe Iris tells Keith's mother all one her own and cameras just happen to be there? I hate the production on this show!

[Neurochick]

LOL, maybe all four couples will divorce this season.  That would be interesting.

[Mercolleen]

Bullshit this Marrying Millions woman is 37.

So glad I'm on school vacation so I can add it to my viewing habit!

Worse MAFS assistant producer job ever....Hanging up the bloodied bedsheets outside the honeymoon suite after “the deed” to prove Iris was intact.....hope I am joking....

[sconstant]

“Did you really pull the word ‘adventacious’ out?  That’s a really $5 SAT.”

Immediate divorce.  

[2727]

Iris is a virgin!? They really kept that a secret. Took me by surprise.

I did until she couldn't wait to run to Keith with the juicy gossip. Whether producer- driven or not, that was for Iris to reveal to her new spouse. A big raspberry to Iris also for having that inane convo with her new m.i.l. in the 1st place.

[shouldbedancing]

All of the couples seem to have good chemistry at the start. No one is immediately turned off or running for the hills. I'm not sure if Keith's mom had a mother's intuition about the white or not. Iris insisted on pure white so obviously she wanted someone to notice. Definitely could have been producer driven though. While it's not the best, I think Keith's mom had good intention, not gossip. She and her son are obviously close and she knows him. It made Keith slow his roll down immediately so there was no pressure on the wedding night. Iris looked really comfortable climbing into bed with him. I was surprised. So maybe he was giving off the vibe that he truly didn't expect anything.

But from the season previews there seems to be a lot of upcoming drama. I'm excited about that. I feel like these super religious black couples they put together crash and burn so quickly.

She really did. I have to keep reminding myself that the camera crew and a producer are in the room and Iris and Keith probably did the climbing in bed scene more than once.

[meatball77]

We also have to remember that she told Dr Pepper that she was technically a virgin.  I suspect she's an everything but.. . . .  She's probably had a lot of oral.  She's not a Duggar

Her reaction in the previews to her husband having condoms everywhere. . . ..

[OnTime]

This season seems to have really lost the authentication that season 1 had. 

Now it looks like they really want the shock value. Even Monet and Vaughn were more authentic than this bunch. I blame the producers for 90% of it.

[humbleopinion]

Iris expects Keith to have one magical condom?

Rubbers get fumbled out of the package onto the floor, ripped, punctured, lost, rolled on the wrong way....having extras is just good planning, Iris.....

Previews have piqued my curiosity...wonder what lie Elizabeth told that has Jamie incensed? Also I did not catch the comment Dr. Viviana made to Elizabeth. Anybody hear it? Were they back from the honeymoon when Iris freaked about the condoms?

Dr. Viviana asked if Elizabeth just called her a bitch.

Seems to me that Iris should have save that info for her husband. 

I don't think the other three couples are going to make it.

[humbleopinion]

Unfiltered: JamieO, Amber, Greg, Pastor

JamieO is wearing an Old Navy summer dress with a safety pin holding her gals inside. Her hair needs to be brushed...

Doug forgot to brush her mane 100strokes before she left for the studio.

Amber’s bachelorette dress got ripped by rolling around with the stripper...bet her 8th graders wonder why she’s straddling a stranger only wearing his underpants....

Burn Carlos....ick

Questioning Greg’s drawn in mustache and his orange striped socks.

Amber is a PEZ dispenser....her neck gets broke back just gazing up at Matt.

Amber has the body, hand motions and voice inflections of a middle schooler....

[endure]

I thought cops would be tougher than Iris's Dad 🤔

Yes! I hate the slow motion shots they use in all reality tv shows. It's just an reminder of how they attempt to try to make things seem more dramatic than they really are. When in reality, it does the opposite...it just reminds me of how much the producers manipulate these shows.
