Wedding Shows

So I'm flipping back and forth between Say Yes to the Dress and My Big Fat Redneck Wedding tonight.  

The rednecks are having fun playing in the mud and making a general mockery of  the wedding industry.  Nothing wrong with that.  Most of these couples spend less on their entire wedding than the brides on Say Yes spend on their dresses.  So what if they tap a keg and serve drunken chicken, they're having fun and are in love.

Doesn't every happy couple want to go mudding in a limousine during the reception?  These unconventional couples will still be married in twenty years.    

While on TLC, this poor bride, Liz,  might want to take her dress money and run.  She obviously has self esteem and confidence issues.  She's tried on dress after dress and can't make up her mind.  And the future husband (why would anyone drag their fiance to pick out the wedding dress?) throws out  insulting comments, some of which border on down right mean. 

And it's not like he's a prize.  Sure he has a job, but he's not particularly attractive.  I might be able to look past the Lettermanesque tooth gap, but I really couldn't look past his ass.  Maybe she can't reach exit velocity to escape his gravitational pull.  But seriously Liz, honey, run.  Run fast and far.

 Guess this is an case of reality TV making drama where none exists.  Or, this guy is a total ass.  I still think she sould run.
