November 4, 201113 yr I am fascinated by this show!The way these women dress up for their weddings...
November 6, 201113 yr Author ^ Agree. So over the top. Have you seen the episode with the battery-operated dress???
November 6, 201113 yr Yes I have! That was crazy! And their wedding cakes are insane too!Their weddings have to cost a fortune. Those dresses are just huge.
November 6, 201113 yr ^The one on the left looks like she's drowning in a sea of blancmange - someone, throw her a giant doughnut to use as a life preserver!
November 6, 201113 yr Author Thanks COP11 for your posts I live in the USA and don't have cable tv. Does anyone know where online I can watch the episodes. I watch it on YT sometimes but it isn't very reliable
November 6, 201113 yr You are welcome!! I have only been able to find a few sites that only have a few episodes on them. I'll keep looking though.
April 29, 201213 yr Author Is it me, or does Cheyenne look a little like her mother-in-law!? :| I know her and John (Cheyenne's husband) are cousins of some sort, but this is creepy. It's like he is sleeping w/ his mom!!! :yuckky: Someone's got mommy issues
May 30, 201213 yr Yes! I've seen 2 episodes. On the British version I don't see the men being complete assholes to women but I saw that on the American version. This guy was a total asshole towards his wife at their own wedding. And the other episode I watched featured a woman who had been beaten by her husband.
May 31, 201213 yr Author I just watched the first episode. It is bad enough to propose to someone w/ a ring pop, but a cartoon image of a ring pop sent via picture messaging? REALLY...WTF!?! Anyways, the show is definitely white trash redefined A total entertaining hot mess!!! (Y)
June 11, 201213 yr The one from last night had some girl marrying her first cousin! I guess that's not illegal in Virginia!
June 11, 201213 yr Author ...unless one of the cousins is gay! Haven't seen the latest episode yet. Looking forward to it!
