Last night (while watching this and enjoying every gleefully awful minute of it) I swore to my boyfriend that when we get engaged, I won't act like Karen, but I can't promise I won't take on her accent. "Oh my GAWD! WAT was she THINKING! She stole my GOWN!" #bridezillaskaren
Does anyone else get the impression that reality television just LOVES showing bitchy stereotypes, especially on their wedding days? Look, I KNOW this show is about women behaving awfully on their wedding days, but the few times I've seen it, I've come across "guido", "white trash", "firey latina", "sassy black woman", and "jewish american princess".
I think reality TV producers believe people want an excuse to be able to say "Oh yeah, I KNEW they were really like that!".
OK, those bridesmaid's dresses are exactly identical to my wedding dress, which came from David's Bridal. So either these "ultra-classy" dresses cost under $200 apiece, or she paid out a shit ton of cash for something identical to a much cheaper garment.
Huh. I got married in the park like a poor person. In fact, my whole wedding cost $500, including clothes, food, and the honeymoon. On the other hand, not once in 10 years has my husband wished he could get away from me. In fact, he was just saying to me how hard it is to go back to work after enjoying the weekends together so much.
I feel so sorry for everyone involved in this fiasco. Even Karen. #bridezillaskaren
I just realized who she is! She's Ursula the Sea Witch when she turns herself into a beautiful woman to seduce Prince Eric! She's a dead ringer!!! #bridezillaskaren
She reminds me of Joe Pesci's character in "Goodfellas". Right down to the accent. Especially the scene where she tears up her bouquet while her friends laugh and egg her on. What is wrong with these people??? Get out you fools, or she's going to shoot you! #bridezillaskaren
here's the thing (and I wish I had the balls to tell this to a few people I know in person): if you say how much something costs or say that it's classy, it's not classy, it's trashy, and so are you.
When I was getting married, I made my husband watch Bridezillas at least once a month for some perspective (although, as the spectrum of wedding stress goes, ours was only about a 3) #bridezillaskaren
@Erinjb: life rerailing extrodinaire: my husband and I still love watching Bridezillas. It makes us both feel good about ourselves and yet strangely we also are sorta sappy at the end when the two horrible people get married. #bridezillaskaren
@amsci: Hmmmm difficult. One might say the toddler because you could feel sorry for the little tyke- it's not their fault and all. But the entertainment factor that Karen brings? Could be just the thing to pass the monotony. #bridezillaskaren
@LindsayC: doctoral hilarity ensues: True. Also, you wouldn't be judge as harshly if you lobbed an airline sized bottle of vodka or a John Grisham novel at Karen's head. #bridezillaskaren

"I wish I could."
Good thing these two are getting married and my gay uncles who've been together for 10+ years aren't. #bridezillaskaren
