My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding - General Discussion - Page 3 - My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding

Oh, lord, the draaaaaama. I just can't with these ridiculous "traditions" and I don't mean drinking a jar of pickle juice or whatever. "He proposed to you behind my back?" Hahahahaha. How dare your relationship not include your mother? Then for her mother to say "Neither of you did this right," as if her daughter had any prior knowledge that he was going to propose. It would be laughable if it weren't so ridiculous.

Two positive things about this week's couples: I was surprised that both brides were so much older than the teenagers we have seen getting married (especially on the British version of the show) and there was almost no drama about either of the brides trying to fit into their limousines.

The conversation between Sondra Celli and Sasha was so fake. They were obviously taped at separate times. But it always cracks me up when these girls who have never spoken to Sondra call and say, "Hey, Sondra, it's Sasha," as if they're old friends and they're just calling to chat. I was totally confused when Sondra said Danielle's dress would have vertical ruffles.

By the way, Sondra, the word is "congratulations." Yes, with an S at the end.

And how fucking hilarious is it that Jacob the gorger is getting an education so he can have, you know, A JOB as a teacher, but his family thinks that knowing how to rake gravel will guarantee that he can provide for Sasha?

I have no problem with guys changing their last names but I don't think it's the place of either the bride's parents or the groom's parents to make that decision. Sasha's mother shouldn't be demanding it and Jacob's parents shouldn't be "putting their foot down" and saying he can't. The only people who should be having that discussion are Sasha and Jacob. I kind of wish they had gone the Phoebe Buffet route and changed their last name to Bananahammock just to spite everyone.

As a feminist, I would just like to point out that most of the objections that Jacob's family had about him changing his last name weren't even good arguments ("Our family name is important to us." "You're a [last name]. You're not changing your last name." "Blood's thicker than water. You are not changing your name.") I have heard much more intelligent reasoning applied when women decide to keep their maiden names (and even then it drives me crazy that women have to rationalize and explain why they are keeping their last names but men never have to).

I don't like when theme weddings get too costume-y but I didn't mind Sasha and Jacob's 20s theme. I'd rather see bridesmaids and guests in flapper dresses than the usual skanky outfits and shirtless guys. See that, guys? You can wear suits to a wedding! And wear them the entire time!

Ha, Sasha's mom is such a drama queen. She stormed out and said she was leaving but then of course she came back in. Yes, your daughter's wedding should be all about YOU.

Kody can STFU. "As long as you do whatever my mom says, it should be fine." Spoken like a 23 year old who still lives at home. Kody's mom can also STFU. How different can Danielle's gypsy taste from Kody's mom's gypsy stew when all she did was dump prepackaged crap in a pan and stir until it was hot?

Stella sure got uppity for someone who slept with her friend's husband. I give Louann some credit for saying that she needed to get past it for the sake of their kids.

The grammar on this show just kills my ears. "My momma who borned us." Okay, maid of honor.
