tv...bad

[gfrancie]

I made the mistake of turning on the television. I came across Oprah and it is a total car accident and I have to watch. She has all of these insane men who are groomzillas. They are obessesed with the details of the wedding,and are planning everything, completely over-riding the wishes of the bride.

I know a lot of women do most of the planning for their weddings...but um...how about compromising things?
I believe when I get married, I would want the imput of the groom.

This one ass-face planned a clam-bake, even though his bride's father is allergic to seafood.

Allergic!

Another guy had a grand entrance on an elephant!

I am trying to grasp the grand asshole-like fervor of these individuals.
What I am having a really hard time dealing with are these stepford wives who smile like they are in a Crest Ad and say, "well it was like hard at first, but he really wants this."

Ack, my head is going to explode. These people are too insane.

I am going to turn off the television. This is too much.

These men are such metrosexuals.

I saw that episode some time ago. Even though most of the guys did not surprise me or even offend me ('cause hey, I think the person who is most gung-ho about the wedding should have the most say ... bride or groom), Mr. Clambake really steamed me! I mean, if someone is going to be allergic, then why bother doing that? Why not just have a huge clambake the next day ... after the father-in-law leaves town? It just seemed really silly, IMO.

On a more serious note, people tend to show their true colors in subtle ways. If the man is not going to budge in light of a physical ailment, what will he be like when you marry him? Fervor is good, but common sense is better.

I suppose my problem was the "steam-rolling" attitude of some of those people.

I don't even like it in a woman. It is truly unpleasant.


You are so damn right. I don't see the marriage lasting more then three years.

That is so funny. Dustin is sitting there watching that show and he keeps making comments about how stupid those men are.

It's nice that he does help me with the planning. He has gone with me to almost every single vendor interview we've had. (except a couple for the flowers). He really does want to help me with the planning and we both decide who we like the best. I think it's best that way. Then we know we are both happy.

Some people are just crazy control freaks.

It drove me so crazy and made me so upset that I had to turn off the television.

I would think that two people would want equal imput and compromise into something like that.

It sounds like you are both doing this together.

No, don't use metrosexual as a bad thing!

Groomzilla is ok to defile though.

Thus concludeth Kathleen trying to control colloquial use of words. :}

I watched that. I was about to crap my pants over the guy trying to pick the wedding dress for his bride...and then the one who was like, "This is a good wedding cake...but we're GOING to have CHOCOLATE."

What kind of asshat are these guys and what kind of stupid women are these?

I may have a stroke.
