I thought it was really cute and I had alot of fun watching it. They're just amusing themselves. People on here seem to be getting more and more critical each year. Aren't we watching this for fun? Not criticizing. I realize we each enjoy this experience our own way. I just didn't understand how vicious some of the talk got.

IMO I don't think it was the wedding itself but who the bride and groom were.

I liked the wedding. Is shows that they can do more then exercise and talk game. I like it when they do stuff like this. I do not have feeds and do not BBAD on my satelite so I only saw it here. I hope they show it on the show tomorrow.

Cokegirl's got it right. If it wasn't B/R, it would have been magnificent. No doubt. I didn't watch but caught up on the event here and thought it was pretty creative on all their parts, gave them something to do, and showed that on some level, they are humans that can put the game aside a minute and come together.

It was okay. Some of it was clever, Lawon and Adam were very funny, Brendan and Rachel were boring. The trash bags were, well, trashy and not very cute. And Rachel forgot her 'vows.' I guess it was more interesting than just small talk or game talk. Really, the Brendan/Dom Superhero fight a couple of weeks ago was much funnier. Or the night they all 'played' music on whatever they could find in the back yard.

There were many of us in attendance and it was quite enjoyable. I was trying to avoid it but it was okay. Do I like the bride and groom? shiver, NO, but neither do the rest of the hamsters and since they were forced to be there I felt it was my duty to join them.

I think most of them kind of had to go along, for fear of repercussions. And I sure resent Shelly's hijacking of Dani's HOH pictures.. let Shelly win HOH. I'm guessing Shelly is trying to make Brendon seem more appealing so he will be kept in the house? But it helped them to pass the time. I just now watched it on a recording of BBAD with copious fast forwarding. Lawon was a trip.

I guess my question is why do you think everybody is so down on the wedding? I posted that it was a lot more fun than watching them do nothing or boring stuff. They aren't my favorite BB players but they aren't boring.

I don't have feeds so rely on TVCH and BBAD i liked the wedding it was something fun and different, better than watching them play pool and bash one another i just think it would have been funny if Keith were still there and had been the officiant, after all isn't he a deacon or pastor?

i think the reason people are down on the wedding is....well, the reason i am down on the wedding is that brendan has been doing stuff strictly for the purpose of "making good tv" and hamming it up for the on-air time....i hate that...just let "stuff" happen naturally...bren/rach try too hard, and i wind up throwing stuff at my computer but i do agree with you jimmer, it was fun to watch, and the background players were very entertaining...it was certainly better than watching them eat and lie around all day....a lot of planning (SHELLY) went into the event and she truly made something out of nothing...mac geiver style (maybe more like mac grubber)...hahaha

I was down on the wedding because it was just some silly activity orchestrated by BB. Kind of like talent night at summer camp. These are (supposedly) adults, for goodness sake. Having them play wedding like a bunch of 10 year old girls was just plain silly. I reacted to it the same way I react to the silliness of all the HG's ahhh'ing and oooh'ing over each person's HoH room unveiling or squealing with delight every time they go into the backyard with some sort of setup for a game.

Well I have no problem with anyone enjoying the wedding. Personally I don't like to be manipulated and don't really enjoy watching a whole show being maniuplated when the manipulators are people I dislike as much as I dislike R/B. And I'm old school, liked BB 1 and have always preferred the times that I'm sure are seen as boring by many people, when HG sit around and just talk and get to know each other. Those times seem to be fewer and farther between as seasons go on and then this season I hardly ever watch.. this is my second summer where I'm simply not around to watch and when I'm around, I wish I didn't have to see R/B for a second summer. I haven't really commented much but this thread asked and so I said what I thought and what I saw was lots of placating of the unstable Rachel, who, I just read in live feeds, actually accused Porsche of conniving with Lawon or Adam when all Porsche and the others were doing was devoting time practicing to participate in the pre wedding festivities FOR R/B. Glad I missed that. I think I'm nostalgic for the days when a whole house was able to get together and have fun like with the fabulous trial the HG had way back in an early season.. Or when Dr Will would have puppet shows in the bathtub or in season one when they would stay up all night and have barbeque at dawn, back when they were allowed to sing.

anytime they show some creativity is fun. My fav all time was the court trial w/ Roddy, Dani, etc. & Will's Ducks.

The BB staff isn't creative enough to tell the HGs to have a wedding. I'm certain this, like many of the other shows and games that HGs have done on previous seasons, were thought up by the HGs themselves. There is way too much down time in the house so the HG often have to come up with their own fun. I enjoyed the trial as well. Many of the best things on the feed are done by the HGs, and often end up on the TV show.

I enjoyed the wedding and all the creativity that the guest put into getting it together. I thought it was cute and sweet that production gave them champagne. I don't believe production ordered them to do it. It seems a natural progression of something that Rachel and Brendon would do. I thought Dr Will's duck show was the most contrived and made for TV put on I had ever seen. He was so clearly playing for his camera time. It always surprised me how may people loved it and wanted the "Janelle" duck. I loved when they gave the HG's collective tasks to do. It forced them to work together to earn things. And footage and feeds of everyone working for a common goal was entertaining.

I was actually impressed by the wedding and posted that last night. It was fun to see them do something different and I thought they were very creative. I'm no Brenchal fan, but it was cute.

Because it's always got to be about Rachel and Brendon and I'm sick to death of them. It's not the wedding, it was the bride and groom.

I loved Jeff catching the garter with his hat I liked the Elf ring bearer I disliked the fact that they couldn't have music I hated Rachel seeking approval asking Brendon if he thought she looked beautiful walking down the aisle (she was in a see-through garbage bag over a tiny, shiny bikini!). Oh vey!

They had some music. Drum beat and then BB allowed the to sing "For he/she's the Jolly good Fellow.' That song must be outside of copy write laws.

I cant quite put into words why I dont like the wedding - Reading Sea's response had me saying - yes, oh, I agree, yep... so maybe that's it... and I agree it seemed truly childish for adults to be doing this - not creative... and maybe a part of it felt like a mockery - to marriage, but I dont get the feeling that was their motivation, but I think that was the result - so in a way I do feel it was disrespctful

I love to be silly as a 10 yr old sometimes, my grandkids think it is the funniest thing in the world when I get down on their level of fun. Besides, that might have been the closest they will come to being married and that is a good thing. I really don't think they are a good match.
