The best line was when the bride said, "We got amazing wedding photos, spent all our wedding money on something just for us. It seemed perfect – the answer to all our problems. No paying for others to eat, drink, party – just spending the wedding money on ourselves and travelling the world! Those who wanted to come could come." 

How kind that you wanted your guests to shell out the cash to travel the world with you, and you couldn't even be bothered to buy them a drink. For goodness sake.

How expensive were their 8 divorce lawyers if they had 8 weddings? Oh, you mean they didn't get divorced between weddings and just playacted bride and groom for funsies?

Ugh. I read a similar story last year. I don't think it was this couple. This is just dumb, why not just get married the one time, and instead of lugging 8 freaking wedding dresses, just have a kick ass honeymoon in 8 different countries? So they essentially had 7 different reeneactments. Ridiculous.

Well, you gotta hand it to them for creativity. If you're going to be tacky, go big or go home!

Didn't Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson do this too?  It worked out so well for them....

I remember that couple.  X|

I loved so much about this. 

• This statement: "They originally planned a huge wedding in South Africa, but after Brett’s brother announced he was getting married that same year, they decided to travel to different places and have eight separate weddings instead."  So apparently the thought of someone else getting married in the same year was enough to make them scrap their "huge" wedding and try for something...I dunno, maybe one-uppier?
• "“They were both really supportive,” Amelia said, although my parents did think we were a bit mad, especially as I lugged eight wedding dresses around the world.”  Because wearing the same wedding dress more than once would be gauche, I suppose?
• The look on the (I assume?) mom's face here:

• The look on their son's face:

Me too, kid.  Me too.

Odds that they had a tiny courthouse-esque wedding in their hometown before this trip even started and actually had 9 weddings but are not calling the only actual wedding, a wedding?

EIGHT DIFFERENT DRESSES?

They didn't save money on their wedding or have 8 weddings... rather, they managed to have the most expensive and longest session of wedding photographs OF ALL TIME

Bet that was fun at the airport. Or did she buy and leave each dress at the destination?
