Perdido Bay?? REALLY??? My parents just bought a lot of land in Alabama that's about 10 minutes from PB! Guess who's going to go visit and take a bike ride??! LOL

Fruit, I agree, but what I meant was the the cost of homes are going up very quickly here and it is difficult for 1st time buyers and those of moderate income to buy a home in a nice neighborhood now as opposed to 5 years ago.

The Dolans, financial experts, are going to be on CNN at 10am. The promo for the show revealed that, at least, part of the show was about real estate. They mentioned the Florida market as being the most overheated. 35 percent of the property is bought by speculators and high proportions of all sold is zero down payment and interest only loans.

I have it on my Tivo.

Teach Cool. We will be expecting a report. I was born and raised in Grosse Pointe Michigan, where are you?

Finally watched the wedding. I thought that the whole show was wonderful, better than any movie I have seen in a long while. Rob is so cute and funny and they are obviously very much in love.

I'm very proud to report that I didn't see any of this show. I consider it my greatest personal achievement! :-)

You missed a good one, KL. It would've reaffirmed your faith in true love and happy endings (it was very sweet).

I liked it. They truly seem to be in love and I think if they had gotten married on the beach in flip-flops with a handful of folks around and no cameras, it would have been just as nice.

I loved that the show didn't spend one lick of time showcasing the guests who might have been there from Survivor or Amazing Race or whatever. It was about Rob and Amber and their wedding experience. Sure it was overboard, but that's what comes from being on TV and well-liked. I loved her dress -- very simple and chic. And I loved that they didn't put Rob in a tux -- it would have been so NOT Rob. :-)

Max, I didn't think it was overboard at all . . . but then I was probably comparing it to Trista's Pinkapalooza from last year. Now THAT was over the top ($1 million dollar shoes anyone??). In comparison, I thought Rob and Amber's was much more real and lower-key. I loved that the guys went fishing for a bachelor party and the girls went swimming with dolphins. Much nicer (and classier!) than a drunken, stripper-infested orgy. Much more family oriented, and everyone really seemed to relax and enjoy themselves. I felt kind of repulsed after watching Trista's wedding, but felt kind of warm and happy (though sniffly) after watching Rob and Amber's. I wish them well!

Fruitbat I'm on the other side of the state -- about 10 min. from Lake Michigan in a little rural community that is absolutely gorgeous (and barely on the map!)LOL I told my parents today that their "new place" was close. They're heading down to AL for a couple of weeks in July -- and taking their bikes! LOL

I thought Rob and Amber's wedding was absolutely perfect. It made Trista and Ryan's $4 million wedding look like a train wreck.

I agree...I guess all of us TIVO freaks spent the 3-day weekend catching up...LOL! I thought Amber (who I had never thought was THAT good-looking) looked absolutely gorgeous as she walked down the "aisle." Her makeup was subtle but it definitely played up her best features, and I loved how her hair framed her face...but my favorite part was the long veil that flowed from the back of her head behind her - I loved the pictures when she and her bridesmaids were walking to the wedding and she was holding it behind her and it was flying in the wind. That was beautiful.

I wanna go to the Atlantis Resort!

Lexie, ITA. Trista's wedding was void of true love and passion. It was Trista that made it that way by focusing in on Pink and all things material. Whereas Rob and Amber made it about the love they share and their future and family.

I might be wrong but wasn't there some angst between Trista and her parents. Or rather her family feeling left out?

Now we get to see Trista dance...starting tonight....oh joy. Let's see how many pink dresses she'll wear.

Another point - with Rob and Amber, their family and friends were much more involved with the planning of the wedding as well as all the help with the house. Amber was also more conscienscious (<<---sp? too lazy to look it up) about how many people they could invite to the wedding. Trista's wedding involved what? - maybe $100,000? in pink roses alone???

Lexie, actually the wedding planner (can't remember his name right now) set a limit on how many people they could invite. I think they had originally had 500-600 and he set it at I think 250 (am I close?). Amber got aggravated at Rob at one point because he was not willing to make any cuts to the invite list.

Exactly (you are thinking of Colin Cowie). While I don't think Trista & Ryan had more than 250-300 at their wedding, Amber most certainly didn't have $100k in pink roses at her wedding.

One more thingy, I don't think it was a question of money regarding how many could attend the wedding because guests pay their own travel expenses - Colin had them limit how many to invite because of the limited space for the reception area (at least that's how I took it).

I still have the wedding show saved. Colin asked, "How many guests are we looking at? Amber answered, "five hundred." Colin replied, "No no no. I'll have a heart attack.... The bigger the wedding, the more...." Then Rob interrupted him. Later (much) when Rob and Amber were at Amber's house in Beaver, Amber said, "We have to make some cuts. There is only so much room in the Bahamas for our people."

Hi...I'm trying to catch up on some of these posts and had been wanting to get here for awhile bit if it's not one thing it's another. With my back finally healing some my power source on my puter died. Thank goodness I have this smaller backup but it wasn't set up for online so I had tons of work to do on it (though thank goodness the main one is still under warrently...still waiting to hear back from hp).

Anyway I have more to say but I just had to reply to this from Gina;

-Rob's buddy clipping the tassels off the lamp shade. (I'm like, you can get one without the tassels for 20 bucks at Wal-mart - stop destroying the $100 dollar one. LOL!!!)

LOL first, that KILLED ME to watch him murder the pretty lamp. I am certain I was yelling NOOOOOOO at the TV hehe. But second I own almost the identical lamp that I got at my beloved Christmas Tree Shop a year or so ago. Many of you have heard me talk of this best store in the world. I paid $9.99 for it! I would love to know how much they paid at that foo foo place. I choose mine in white iron though.

Hopefully more soon...btw I loved this show and I loved how they were that day in NY....you could see it was such legit love. They were a total mess until they were just alone and together and had some semblence of normalcy. To me that really showed a lot about how they are...they weren't into the flying around or the hoopla...they were just content together. Go figure the most real relationship I've seen come out of a reality tv show was from Survivor LOLOL.

Check this out...I should go post it in the Big Brother thread (is there one yet? there must be lol). I clicked on the link to Amber's site and it was gone so i did a quick web search on them to see if I could find a web site for Rob & Amber...spotted this article....

http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/story.php?s=3519

The last paragraph gave me hope....I WISH this would be the twist might be fun to watch again IMHO!!!! BTW anyone know if there is a Rob and Amber site?

Lurk, there is a site you can go to from CBS.com but I couldn't get past the first page.

I found the website for Z Gallerie, the store that Rob used to furnish the house, and it is not nearly as expensive as I thought it would be. I looked for the lamp and although I didn't find that one, none of them were more than $200 and some were below $50.

That's what I thought Color - there was a limit as to how many guests the reception area could hold.
