Did anyone watch this on TLC last Friday? It was so strange...if I was the bride-to-be on this show I would have screamed or shot my mother at some point!

I watched it and loved it! I agree about the mother of the bride. What a pill she was. I also had a comment about the guy from NYC that asked his girlfriend to marry him. He's as gay as my cousin Larry was when he asked HIS girlfriend to marry him. That ended in divorce after producing 2 children.

I so totally agree - that fiancee sham was strange...and the weird thing was that neither of those people were native Dallas-ites. He was either from California living in New York or something like that and she was originally from Brooklyn...although she apparently owns a salon in Dallas (which I've never heard of but then again it's a huge town and I'm not that cool anymore) I couldn't understand why they couldn't find anyone more "native." By the way, I don't really know that many people in Dallas who talk like the mother. But I do know a lot of people who had that much Botox!

I saw it and was sucked IN...sigh. How many times do you think mom mentioned that her daughter finally married at age 35. I had a strange reaction of giggling and cringing everytime she mentioned her age. The jewelry mom gave her as a bribe for her not to wear her veil down...well those pieces were great! The salon owner did not seem to be in love or lust. My gardar was not tweaked by HIM...her on the otherhand... hmmm

I didn't see the show, but reliable sources have said this paints a bad picture of Dallasites. "Sickening" was the best thing said about the people in this show. It doesn't really represent the better part of Dallas residents...

I know Steve Kemble, the wedding planner. His brother lived down the street from us. It's funny. He is openly gay and jokes cause he comes from a long line of football coaches that they were coaching and his was decorating the gym! His family is great and very supportive of him.

Well, I am a Dallasite - at least from 8:30 to 5:00 every day - and I think the show is hilarious! I think one of the best traits that denizens of this city have (and most Texans in general) is the ability to laugh at the stereotypes about our city and our state. But the big hair thing - it still exists!

Well, if it's funny to the locals, then it's okay by me...I'm from Ft. Worth, which is sometimes an entire country away from Dallas, even though we're right next to each other.

This show cracks me up. Just imagine how much weight Lance would have lost if he had started out the right way. I didn't feel tho that tonight's show was as good as last week's.

Steve the event planner has been showcased on "Who's Wedding is it Anyway" on the Style Network. He's hilarious. Puts on some VERY nice weddings and parties, I must say. My favorite line tonight: When the beauty pageant contestant (not the one they were following) was asked what about Texas made her most proud and she said "It's size."

I'm sorry, I had a friend who was Miss Texas "way back when" and I thought the MISS DALLAS COUNTY pageant was a put-on...there was no audience, there were very few contestants and NO WAY were those girls "pageant" material. Don't get me wrong - I'm in no way condemning them for their size (definitely) but in most beauty contests these days the contestants are a lot smaller and a lot more fit. Also, your normal Texas pageant draws a huge amount of competitors, family members, lackeys, etc. No way that was a real pageant. The shows makes me laugh but there are enough things that are funny going on around here without having to manufacture something.

Yeah, I thought it was strange, too, Roxip. I know how seriously Texas takes its pageants -- Texas contestants spend a LOT of time and money to compete -- and that pageant just didn't look like anything much. Maybe it's a really minor event or something. I agree the girls didn't look up to snuff for pageants in this day and age. It just seemed strange, but it was still entertaining.

I was a little surprised too. I know that there are tons of 'little pageants' that feed into the Miss Texas. You will see titles like Miss West Houston, Miss Far West Houston and Miss Inside the Loop in the Texas pageant. I was sad with how Steve Kemble came off. On "Whose Wedding is It?" He is definitely flamboyant but comes off more intelligent.

I was disappointed on the trip to get botox with Steve. On whose wedding , they showed him going to his plastic surgeon of whom had done some face work on him but also he was getting regular botox from. Different doctor, but they were acting like a first experience. Re; the first show. I sure don't think the salon owner marriage thing is going to happen or last. That just seems like a train wreck
