Ok but seriously, which outfit did you think was worse?:
Epperson's or Logan's??
Another aspect that stumped me about this episode- was it the saddest challenge ever ("...and I've been divorced for 3 months...") or the most liberating? I'm voting saddest, as I can't imagine that many of those divorcees left FIDM feeling too hot about themselves, right? I mean, there was the Space Bubble Dress, 2 Oktoberfest outfits... I feel like I might be asking for a refund if I were those ladies. Then again, they signed up to have their wedding dresses revamped... for better or for worse... (Pun intended.)

I have a wedding story from the wedding that I went to last weekend in La Crosse, WI. The groom is my nephew and he and the bride have a 3 1/2 year old kid already (he knocked her up in high school). Classy. I knew that the bride was pregnant for the second time because my mom told me but this was not common knowledge since she's only a month along. At the wedding the bride's dad makes a toast and then "slips" that his daughter's pregnant and starts stammering so the bride yells out from the head table, "It's ok, Dad, you can tell them!" So he proceeds to tell the 200 guests (including the priest that married them and didn't know) that his daughter was one month pregnant and then burst into tears. I didn't know if he was crying tears of joy for being a grandpa again or tears of sadness because his daughter married my nephew. BTW, the dad was sober as this was during dinner, around 6pm. This is just one of many stories from this wedding. All the toasts that night included how much people didn't get along with the bride and used to hate her but now they're such good friends. OK, I'll stop. Happy PR watching!
ReplyDeleteSue - Are you sure you are not just recapping last week's episode of The Office?
ReplyDeleteYou know, I do see several similarities!
ReplyDeleteFirst off, Logan's outfit was horrendous! It should be burned! I actually thought Epperson's divorcée looked very cute and flirty. Not worthy of a win, but certainly not worthy of getting kicked off. What are the judges thinking this season?!?!?
ReplyDeleteWedding story of a family friend. Everything was going as planned until the hora (Jewish celebration dance). All along, the bride did not want to get lifted in the chairs, but conceded, because it is pretty much obligatory at a Jewish wedding. Anyway, all was well, they were up in the chairs, everyone was dancing, until she slipped off and fell to the ground. Needless to say the rest of the party was pretty much a bust. She spent her wedding night in the ER, with a broken leg.
my wedding story is from my own wedding. we had the worst photographer on the planet. he was horrible. i'm thinking possibly drunk, too? this was two days after the election in '04. he would get my whole family to pose and then say something like, "smile! bush won the election!" (this to a family full of democrats) or would pose my 90 year old grandpa and would try to get him to smile by saying, "meet me in the bathroom after this grandpa and i'll give you something to smile about" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????? WTW??!! he was awful.
ReplyDeleteI went to a wedding with Craig last year for a couple he used to lifeguard with. He warned me that it might be a little different and that they were pretty big drinkers. When I got there, it was set up to be a very elegant wedding (hotel banquet hall, beautiful flowers,etc.). But then...
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, the bride and groom were off playing beer pong before the reception. They came in drunk and told everyone that would listen about their beer pong game.
Then her dad gave a toast (also drunk). First he referenced the maid of honors boobs, referencing how it was so nice of her to be here "all 3 of you" (while staring right at her chest).
Then he said when he first met the groom, he thought, it must be about the sexual relations and the booze between the two of them, what else would this loser want with his daughter. It went on like this for 20 MINUTES! People around the room looked horrified or were literally laughing because it was so AWFUL. One of the weirdest parts was in the middle of it, he called up the bride's 90 year old aunt and she did a reading from the book of Ruth. She then took her seat and the mayhem returned right away!
Eventually someone started to clink glasses and then everyone else caught on. The bride's mother took the opporunity to go get him from the podium (did I fail to mention he was standing at a podium?!? And made the bride and groom sit right in front of him) Kicked off stage at your own daughter's wedding!
Shana- loved your photographer story!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, my story is from my wedding as well- not really funny but cute... so, my husband, Kurt, is about a foot taller than me. At home there is a stool in the kitchen (I can't reach a lot of the taller cabinets)- sometimes when Kurt wants to kiss/hug me, he'll point to the stool and I hop up and then we can see eye to eye. Well, at our wedding, when our song came on to dance to, we stood up and started dancing and then about 1/4 of the way through the song, our best man, Kurt's best friend Dan, walked onto the dance floor with the stool from our kitchen! Kurt had taken it from home and then had Dan keep it in the coat closet until our dance. I started laughing (as did all our guests) but I hopped up onto the stool and we slow danced to the rest of the song eye to eye.
And it still makes me smile....
Sorry the above story is from me: Dana
ReplyDeleteI was the maid of honor at my best friend's wedding. She decided it was a good idea to give drunk people sparklers (yes, the fire-burning sticks) at the end of the reception to send the newlyweds on their way. Well, the best man was standing next to me and the hot, charred ember at the end of his sparkler fell into my cleavage and down my dress. The polyester-blend of the bridesmaid dress material quickly melted with the heat of the sparkler. I was trying to keep my composure in order to not ruin my best friend's 'moment,' but my boobs were on fire. Literally!! When others realized this, they began dousing my dress with drinks...alcoholic ones...which only made things worse. The paramedics were called and my dress was cut off of me by some hot (and I mean, HOT) firefighters. It was so embarrassing (and people were documenting the scene with the disposable cameras from the reception tables). Needless to say, I have a great story, and SCARS, to remember my best friend's wedding!!
ReplyDeleteEmily, I am dying laughing. That is hysterical!
