Say Yes to the Dress: Bridesmaids

Since our basement DVD player broke (quelle dommage!), I am always hoping for something at least semi-captivating to be on TV while I'm doing my daily treadmill session.

This morning, I caught my very first episode of "Say Yes to the Dress: Bridesmaids" on TLC.

It was quite captivating to say the least. The bridesmaids featured on the show, for the most part, were also very annoying.

Working at a salon, I know how demanding bridesmaids can be. Often times, they are more high-maintenance than the bride.

The bridesmaids featured on the two episodes I watched today essentially fit that same description. They acted like the bridesmaid dresses choice was all about them. While I completely understand the bridesmaids having some input on what they will be wearing on the big day (especially with price if the bride is not paying), I think that input should be very, very small.

It's not their big day! They will not be displaying these photographs in their homes for years to come!

Furthermore, they need to understand that people frankly aren't that concerned with looking at them. It's all about the bride and her gown! She is supposed to be the star!

(Have I used enough exclamation points yet??)

Finally! They all agreed!

See the picture above? The sister of the bride on the far left (also the MOH) kept purposefully choosing long dresses even though the bride had insisted that she did not want long dresses for her beach wedding. SO RUDE.

While I found this show incredibly entertaining, I don't think I'll continue to tune in. I'll just stick to Randy Fenoli and the Kleinfeld's crew in NYC, thank you!
