anyone else get depressed when watching platinum weddings?

No not so much depressed but feeling that I live in the real world. I don't know if I would spend that much money at one time.... but who can ever really say unless you got it like that

Hello!

I like watching these shows for ideas mostly but dont really get depressed watching them. I think its totally crazy to spend that much on a 6 hour event!!! Put it towards a house or something....you know?

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! Hi Jess!!!!!!!

Welcome to the boards!!!
YAY!!!!!

I don't let it get to me, wedding-wise. I honestly feel like you can have the BEST wedding EVER on a budget, you just have to shop around more. I wouldn't trade my own wedding for most of the weddings I've seen on these shows..

What annoys me is how people can drop so much money on something like jewelery for one day, or a pair of shoes, when there are people in the world starving.

I like to watch just to get ideas and finds ways to make it MINE and CHEAPER!

I apologize in advance for posting on your forum when I am an '07 bride, but I can't help to comment.

I used to be annoyed watching that show. It so over the top but now that I'm finally married I find this show it funny and entertaining.

You can really tell that they belong together. He's a rich (not so good looking) man looking for pretty chick and she's nobody looking for a rich man. No offend, its like buying your bride

They should share some info like if they signed pre-nups and then they should have a follow-up show to see how long they last...
