I'm queer. And while it's taken a while to admit, I sort of love watching wedding related television, even though I'm one of those queers that really doesn't give a shit about the whole marriage thing. But my love of wedding shows is too great not to share and talk about it even though up to this point it was a semi-secret shame.
Personal blog is brosophila, feel free to check shit out over there.

oh gosh I should be studying but I have my fair wedding on in the background and I managed to look up when the couple of the episode was getting married
there was a lady rabbi officiating, they had the sweetest vows, and their kiss was pretty cute
it was actually pretty romantic
although it looked like there was a pretty significant age discrepancy between the bride and groom
but oh gosh it was actually the cutest

so now my big fat gypsy wedding is on TLC and it is just painful and problematic, for one the use of gypsy, for another making these weddings and marketing the show as a spectacle of poor and trashy taste. and the family dynamics are really gendered and depressing but I also have no idea if it’s something found regularly within the roma community and from seeing other people watch this show I feel like they are part YOU POOR THINGS and part LOOK AT THIS TRASHY DRESS (this episode features a fuck ton of examples of the virgin/whore dynamic oh god)
I just wanted to watch four weddings and say yes to the dress all night but no TLC you gotta destroy that for me this show is fucking terrible

I need to update this thing more often, science has had me really busy.
but I’m watching SYTTD and I hear the bride talking and she’s 24 and getting married, which is weird enough to me more because oh hey I am 23 and nowhere near any sort of vague commitment even, this is just like whatever because a lot of people on the atlanta branch seem to get married earlier than they do in yankee territory where I was raised
But she has been dating her future husband since she was 14
14! I mean, good for you I guess, you found love early but holy shit how does that even work, aren’t you a totally different person now?
I mean I was a nerdy little shit in middle school
for what it’s worth it DOES appear people are sitting at both sides of the giant garden arrangements and ugh that was a ridiculously poor choice
regina the bride does look really pretty though and she’s happy so that’s what matters in the end i guess
also the groom has one of those bowler ish hats that lesbians always wear
and they ate cake and they were happy and married the end
david tutera promises a garden party in a magic fairy land of dragonflies to the newlywed couple
regina the bride’s jaw dropped
david tutera got all of the perfomers including the candelabra glamazon and the whimsical purple fairy bubble ball
the whole thing
is sort of hideous
i wish i could screencap this

the officiant sounded really disinterested in this wedding.
david tutera this is worse than the minitruck wedding, at least that one was interesting, this one is just flawed and boring and your show needs a better production team
so there are a ton of long tables that everyone is eating at for the reception
and in the middle of these tables are potted GARDEN type things that are easily 2-3 feet tall. and i can’t tell if there are people sitting at either side of the ‘garden’ and if there are there is no way that they would be able to actually hold a conversation
really the table layout is fucking terrible
also the tablecloths are all in lavender, the worst shade of lavender, this is just poorly done :|
david tutera just keeps on going on and on and on about how beautiful regina the bride is and asking her if she feels beautiful and blah blah blah
it’s getting creepy
i know the editors need a through line but couldn’t they have figured out a better one
david tutera: the wedding is the icing on the cake, my mission here is to tell regina [the bride] that she’s a ~beautiful woman~
the theme of the episode seems to be
does regina think she’s beautiful yet
david tutera wants to bottle up regina the bride and keep her with him because she’s fucking adorable or something?
and they’re going through and checking out performers and shit in ~threes~ because of course only one of three will be in the wedding
the performers are wearing such hideous costumes of bright colors and sparkles and poorly fit and gaudy and my jaw dropped from it
one of them is “the whimsical purple fairy in the glamour sphere”
that is the name of the act
now there is the Candelabra Glamazon as david tutera referred to her
