I've never seen a show that so vindicates gay men. The women they show are the most obnoxious, selfish, narcissistic, tasteless, trashy, dumb bitches I have ever seen!
Is this show remotely accurate in displaying how most brides are when planning a wedding? Why don't these grooms-to-be run screaming in the opposite direction? If my fiancee acted like these women, I'd end it all right there and then. I saw one bride get left at the altar and all I could think was, 'He's the smartest man in the entire series.' These marriages are heading for spectacular divorces unless I'm grossly underestimating the tolerance of straight men. The grooms are no better. They put up with the most outrageous abusive shit and so many of them spend the entire episode looking like sheep led to slaughter, as if they expect this is what women do and this is what men have to tolerate to get pussy.
Like this bride, "The whole point of me getting married is so I can stand out."
That leads me to wonder if this show isn't, at its heart, misogynistic or are we as a culture so fucked that this is now the norm? If I ever get married, I'd like to have a home wedding with lots of friends and family and their kids, with maybe a nice barbecue for the reception. It wouldn't surprise me if most men think that's enough, yet these couples blow all kinds of credit card cash they don't have on all kinds of frippery designed to aggrandize the event and, by extension, the bride. It's greed on the most distasteful level.
The only reason I wonder if this sort of thing is common is that Bridezillas (nearly) always show the bride as being blushing and happy; pretty much what we guests who aren't in on the wedding, see.
