Four weddings...

... and a trainwreck.

I watched that new show on channel 7, where four brides go to each others weddings, and rate things like the dress, the reception, the ceremony, and the food. I knew it would be awful, and I wasn't disappointed!

So, what happens when you stick three bogan chicks and a LARPer into the above formula? Trainwreck, with added saucers of milk. Yup - meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, snark, snark, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, Rowr! Phttt, meow, meow, meow, meow. Nary a nice word was spoken by any of them (actually, the LARP chick was probably the nicest, but she was perfectly prepared to dish the dirt when she felt it was required). The $8,000 wedding dress was deemed to look like a Barbie dress (I hate to say it, but this comment wasn't too far off the mark), the second-hand dress was deemed to be "cheap and tacky", even though it was probably the nicest, the fireworks were sneered at, the "historical re-enactment" wedding selfishly made the guests stand (stand! oh the humanity!) outside in a beautiful garden for a whole hour, and the Lebanese wedding with the drums and the extended wedding party introductions got more than it's fair share of extravagant eye-rolling.

When it all comes down to it, all of the weddings looked to be fairly well within the realms of the average wedding, really. They all had aspects that were OTT, they all had things that were lovely and well done, and things that were a bit on the nose. The important thing - all the girls seemed to have a wonderful time at their own wedding, which is the only real important thing when it comes down to it.

Oh, and to top it all off - the meanest and nastiest girl, who said not a positive word about anybody's wedding but her own? She was the one who got the free holiday.

All in all, I found it to be quite entertaining, mostly because it lived up (or rather down) to my expectations. I only wish that the most outstanding bitchiness of the day wasn't so lavishly rewarded. Just goes to show - it really does pay to trample everyone else's hopes and dreams to get to the prize.
