Mocha, I'm thinking with what the bed probably cost, those poles should be pretty sturdy. That is what you're talking about, right?

What a nice surprise this wedding ended up being. Very sweet and their love shined through it all. What a difference between this wedding and Star Jones's fiasco or Trista obnoxious behavior throughout her wedding. It was so nice to see the groom involved.

No Nt not really. It's that I bump into things and tend to hurt myself lol. And as tall as those are I can see myself walking into one of them face first.

Thank you Lil. I was just getting ready to post about Trista's obnoxious behavior with her wedding and milking ABC to the tune of $4 million for her wedding. The only people that spend $4 million for a wedding are people that can afford it. The ironic thing - if ABC hadn't filmed Trista's wedding - Trista and Ryan's wedding probably would have only cost $20k-$30k tops because she wouldn't have had $100k in those damned pink roses!!! I taped Rob and Amber's wedding and will watch it tomorrow night since there's nothing on Thursdays for now (and I can't wait to watch it).

Gotcha, Mocha. I thought maybe you were thinking more in the line of acrobatics.

Lol I knew where you were going with that Nt and if I tried that I would end up hitting the floor.

I think there was a decorator behind the scenes helping Rob. A little poetic license with the editing concealed him/her.

I like this couple and have from the start.

Very sweet wedding.

The one glaring mistake was the color, fabric and style of the bridesmaid dresses. Something more casual in design and fabric, tea length in the same watery colors as the reception would have been fabulous.

The dance floor was stunning.

I heard them on another show talk about getting waterfront property and building a house soon. His dad built this house and supposedly gave it to them. Perhaps, for the sake of this show, we were led to believe they are going to stay here. It looks like a spec house in a new developement that his dad built to sell.

Since I had heard them talk about this, in an interview, I was aware that Ambers reaction to this gift was confusion at first. I think she was trying to figure out if he had this house built in the area they had chosen. She registered appreciation but was guarded.

Fruitbat, I have no doubt those guys had help. I know I will sound sexist saying this, but one or two guys alone may have been able to figure it out eventually, but a whole group of guys would have been mass confusion.

Regardless of how they came to acquire the house, it will give them a home until they build what they want.

I just hope the 3 dozen Amber candles smell good.

I enjoyed the wedding last night. Rob scared me a little when he was shopping in Z Gallerie. "I'll take this and this...." Reminded me of clips we've seen of one of Michael Jackson's shopping sprees in Las Vegas. Rob said Z Gallerie is Amber's favorite store. I hope they had discussed home decorating styles. There must have been a professional decorator involved. I'm sure it was all a gift from Z Gallerie. Good publicity.

I've vacationed in the area -- a little east of Pensacola. Love it. I envy them living there. Both of them getting out of the snow and the cold to sun country. (Though maybe extra wind in hurricane season.)

The painting of the Red Sox. Looked like an oil? Maybe acrylic? I wonder what the artist thought of having the painting autographed?! Not something you would normally do.

Got to give Amber credit for staying with her local Pittsburgh dress designer Arletta Kronk. She'd probably dreamed for years of Arletta doing her dress. (Got a kick out of Colin Cowie [CC to Rob], "I've never heard of this designer.") I didn't care for it though. Especially when Amber was reaching up to dance with Rob. Didn't like the "arm hole" area. I'd have taken advantage and gotten a designer dress in New York.

Loved the unusual bachelor and bachelorette "parties".

All in all a great "celebration". Hope the marriage lasts and lasts.... I think it will.

I will go further and say there was no chance in hell any of those particular men, however paired, could have pulled off the furniture arrangement and they would freely admit that!

Oh god, the 3 dozen candles, I had forgotten about about those. hmmmmm, yes. I think that is a gift that will keep on giving for many years.

I am surprised at the choice of Florida.
Wonder what they plan to do for work.

I was wondering about the work aspect too Ms Bat. But doesn't every celebrity have a home in Florida? Something to do with taxes I think?

I thought Amber's dress was lovely and that it was nice that she chose a friend to make her dress.

Rob is so protective of Amber and that reminds of Ryan being protective of Trista. I like that in the guys!

If Rob's dad builds homes in Florida, Rob could probably work for his dad. I don't remember what kind of job Amber had. Anyone know?

We just bought a house in Florida last year and there is no state income tax but if your money comes from outside of the state you are taxed in the state where it is earned. Property taxes vary but are very high near the water.

Some celebs live there but I think it is all about wanting to live in a warm climate and being anti Southern California/Hollywood scene.

I tuned in expecting a cheesefest and was pleasantly surprised to find a very nice wedding. I loved the dress, I thought it was very beach-appropriate.

I had to laugh at Rob's friend cutting the beads off the lampshade.

Thanks Ms Bat! I liked Amber's gown too but not that streamer in her hair.

Rob's in construction. Plenty of that in Florida. He'd just have to learn warm, windy clime construction -- not snow, cold, etc.

Such a wonderful show, with love, personal touch and tons of fun and real emotions. They compliment each other well. Much "real" than the pick wedding of trister and ryan. Wish them nothing but the best! Hope they fill the dinning rooms seats some time in the near future

yeah, I know he is in construction but somehow I think he is looking for a change. Just a hunch. He has tasted a less grueling lifestyle and it is hard to go back to that physical grind, I would think.

I too was expecting... well more of a spectacle. I spent the first hour checking in on commercials from the Contender, but was interested enough to come over for the second hour.

I was very impressed with the way they went about things as couple, and as individuals. These two definitely have their heads screwed on straight and seem to know what's important and what isn't.

Even my hubby was impressed and he rarely cares about these things.

That was an great way to spend two hours. I thoroughly enjoyed the show from beginning to end. These two both seem so genuine and I love how protective Rob is of Amber. The dance lessons were a hoot and that dance floor at the reception was spectacular. My opinion of both of them has totally changed since their first individual appearances on Survivor.

Having been (long ago ...) married to a man who NEVER gave in and said, Okay, I'll do it because you want me to ... I was very impressed with Rob being willing to take TWO dancing lessons. They are a great couple ... I hope we get to see their 25th anniversary party on TV! 50th, too!
