Outside of Top Chef or similar type cooking shows I don't get being on reality TV.

Relationships seem not to have long-term success.

I agree. One of my favorite shows is Cupcake Wars because I love reality TV where the biggest drama is "My cupcakes fell!"

Nope. I honestly don't understand the wedding reality shows. There is something just wrong about it IMO.

hahahah I love Chopped- make an entree- your secret ingedients are pencil shavings, this Asian fruit no one has heard of and is probably poisonous, cat's appedix, and beat up old sneaker- go!

Pumpkin, I would die to do the AR!! DH would have fun too, but he's not keen on being in the spotlight, so I don't think he'd want to have to talk about everything for TV. We're not dramatic enough to get on.

YES!

I've been trying to get DH to try-out for Top Chef for years. He's that good and he a great personality to boot.

Yeah, I don't think we are, either @WinstonsGirl . I feel as though they'd just focus on us being newlyweds with a 12-year age gap, and I'd probably end up looking like a whiny bitch haha

Speaking of cooking shows... My FFIL was just in Florida filming an episode of Deep Fried Masters and he won!! Chopped is th next one he wants to do.

Top Chef is the only reality TV I watch. Love it!

pinkcow13 · February 2014

Nope. I've never watched the show but from what I've heard, def not. I just don't think I would want my wedding to be on national tv, no matter for what show. Yet, I totally see the pros associated.

@jcbride2014- I love, love, love David Tutera!!! The venue we were seriously considered booking was featured on the show (I didn't watch the episode, I found out when we went to view it). If I were to be on a wedding show, it would be David's show, although id like to think he wouldn't choose me because my ideas would be so fab, haha. Some of the ideas those brides have are really hideous lol.

No I wouldn't. But confession time: I am dying to be on David Tutera's show. He can change every last little thing about my wedding and I'd be fine with it, because I have LOVED every single event he's ever done. My law school roommate and I used to marathon his show together, she would freak out if I actually got picked.

Fi and I are thinking about applying because we have a very TV-friendly back story, what with Hurricane Sandy. But I think we'd need to wait a few months since we are a 2015 wedding.

I could never be on his show because he completely disregards the grooms. One episode, the couple straight up told him that the theme for the reception was the groom's idea and he STILL excluded him from the planning. No thank you. It takes two to tango.

Yes, the grooms thing is a good point. Although I do get the impression most of the brides are the ones really doing the planning and the grooms are more hands off by nature. There was one show where David was spending quite a bit of time with the groom and the bride got really upset-- she was like obsessed with David and wanted him to be her best friend. Eeesh.

@pinkcow13 What was the venue? I grew up down the street from The Palace at Somerset Park in NJ, which was featured on the show. My friend got married there. It's just weird to me, this hulking wedding factory springing up from a lower-middle-class neighborhood in central NJ. It's a beautiful venue but it's like a cardboard cutout. Everything spanking new and manufactured.

And I'd also like to think my ideas are far too fabulous for David to ever pick me. Maybe I'd be the first bride he says, "Your ideas are wonderful! Let me just throw money at you to make your ideas even bigger and better!"

Some shows are fun to watch, when the women are actually kind towards their "competition." They realize that things can go wrong or that the other women have different tastes. I can't stand when the nitpick over minor things that are a matter of taste and preference and make it sound like it's the worst etiquette fail in the world. Oh, there's too much food? Too many desserts? Not enough appetizers that YOU like? Get out of here. I wouldn't do it for that reason. And I don't think my fiance would either.

I hate, hate, hate when they complain that there is too much food. Really? Then just stop eating! No one is forcing you to try everything!

I personally wouldn't do it, but my officiant has been on a handful of times. A customer from the bridal salon I used also was on a season or two ago and won a honeymoon. It could definitely be a fun idea, but just not for me.

My officiant posted on Facebook that Four Weddings is looking for couples getting married between this April and October in the NYC area.

My friend told me about this. Since my wedding is in that area and in that time. I was like no way. I don't want our day to be judged by people I don't know just to win a trip.

RebeccaB88 · February 2014

I must be the crazy one around here, because I'd do it in a heartbeat. But, only if I was having an etiquette-tight balls to the wall party and could afford to do anything I thought would stand me the best chance of winning. And, as long as I was happy with my wedding, I'd be ok. Someone will always find something to gripe about at a wedding. Yep, I'd do it.

AshleyNicole1218 · February 2014

I also feel a bit for the venue/caterer. You can see some of the brides stretch to find the negative (the "pesto disaster"). What venue wants the kind of publicity that generally comes with that show?

thisismynickname2 · February 2014

Between that show and bridezillas at work, I'd prefer to elope.
You don't like my fake flower bouquet my mom made? You don't like the 5 star food because you're more into comfort foods like Mac and cheese? You think my evening gown and lack of veil and mismatched bridesmaids "just aren't wedding enough" for you? Kiss my @$$.

tcnoble · February 2014

I just watched an episode and one bride says "I hope it doesn't take long to get dinner because my last meal today was like breakfast." So it's the bride and grooms fault that you're an adult who chose not to eat all day?! Those kinds of remarks drive me nuts. "I give her wedding a 6 because she had white flowers and I don't really like white flowers." GOOD FOR YOU.

photokitty · February 2014

@Rebeccab88 me too! I actually checked the website several times hoping my city would be an option! 1) bc i love going to weddings and font get to go to enough and 2) i figured with the fireworks and what not we had a good chance at a free trip ;-)

This is another reason I hate that show. They pick apart the DUMBEST stuff. Not my fault you didn't eat today. Or that you hate roses- what's wrong with roses?

thelastdreamer · February 2014

Heck no. I don't need a bunch of people complaining to TV about my dry wedding and how there "wasn't even a cash bar." Gag.

BUT I'd totally go on SYTTD if I could afford one of those dresses. I'm actually thinking about applying for Something Borrowed because I've thought about wearing my mom's dress and I know she wouldn't care if they cut it all up and I didn't like it.

thisismynickname2 · February 2014

All this being said, I still watch Four Weddings for ideas. There are common things they all downgrade: gaps, cold food, and lines at the bar/buffet, for example. I'm definitely going to be hyper-picky with my venue that the food comes out hot and they provide the right amount of bartenders for the number of guests. (Shouldn't be a problem as the venue is a higher-end restaurant and should be experts at this stuff.)

pinkcow13 · February 2014

@jcbride2014 - The venue was Studio Square in Astoria, Queens. Have you heard of the huge beer garden there? Well, they have their own event space also. It was fabulous, huge loft spaces, but the price includes all catering, linens, silverware, etc. I think the episode was about a "Zen" wedding (I googled it). In the end, we ended up going with another venue, but until we saw the venue that we ultimately chose, that one was #1 for us. Haha, that's exactly what I would want David to do, throw money at us for the wedding! If only....

OnceUponSnow · February 2014

Ohhhh no ! Having snarky guests saying nasty things about everything that we chose for our wedding (no DJ, no fresh flowers, no expensive dress, no fluff whatsoever) would drive me mad. Our wedding is ''us'' and we're working hard to make it ''us''. If some women have insecurity issues to the point they need to belittle other couple's big day in order to feel better about themselves, it's not my problem and they don't deserve to be on my guestlist. I'd gladly pay for a dream honeymoon myself just to avoid the BS that comes with competing for winning it.

No way! I want to love my wedding and I would hate to hear people talk about how tacky or bad it was. That said, the only reality show I would ever want to be on is the Amazing Race.

Yup, it seems fun ! I wish I had more athletic skills. But I don't think FI and I would fit into any of their casting roles (there is always the sporty team, the mommy team, the ''bimbo'' team, the narcissistic couple, the siblings team, etc.). Maybe we could be the weirdo team and be the underdogs, haha !
