Say Yes To The Dress -- love that show; not the price tags of the dresses

Have you seen that show?? It's on TLC and I love watching it. Mr. JB is so cute because when that show is on, he would say "honey, your show is on." Of course, the best part about watching that show with him is to reminisce about our wedding and the money we did not spend on my wedding dress. I can't believe these ladies (brides) spend so much money on a dress.

The other day, I saw a mom who was paying for her daughter's dress and when asked about the budget, she said "it's not about the money; it's about finding THE dress for my daughter". And the sale consultant brought dresses that were GRAND. And the daughter ended up loving a dress that was $14,000!!!! OMG! Really? That much for a dress you'll only wear for a few hours? I can't imagine how much the whole wedding was going to cost them. YIIIKKEESSS!!!

I can't imagine spending lots of money on a dress that I will only wear for a few hours. The money can go towards a trip or something. I mean, I know different people have different priorities and all but .... WOW!!!

I mean, these brides' lowest budget is like $2000. Maybe because Kleinfield is supposed to be expensive place? Or something? And some people are from the West Coast. So, I wonder if these brides travel from the West Coast to the East often for that dress. I mean, think about it. The intial appt, the fittings, etc. And the tarvel cost, on top of the cost of the dress. WOW.

Also, you can see the relationships the brides have with their moms.... Wow. Some relationships are great and some are just out there! And when I went dress shopping, my mom didn't have the reaction I was looking for. Well, neither did I. I thought I was going to cry when I find THE dress. But I didn't have any emotional feeling about any of them. Neither did my mom. hee hee. For me, it was because I couldn't commit. I don't know why my mom wasn't emotional. Maybe she is not that kind of person. Who knows?

Anyhoo, I love that show. I especially love the clip they show at the end of some of the weddings. Swoon....
