Wedding Fest on Lifetime?

[gategrrl]

Yesterday was Weddingfest time on a cable channel, most likely on Lifetime. I can't be sure now, because none of the cable channel websites allows me to go back a day in their schedule and check!

But it was movie after movie of wedding vows, wedding hijinks, wedding romances (all messed up, of course!) wedding wedding wedding!

Mermaid, 13 years old, switched the TV onto a movie that had Melissa Joan Hart (Sabrina, The Teenage Witch - The Complete First Season) in it: My Fake Fiance
 She missed the first hour of it, but it didn't make any difference. Two people both oweing money to a mobster, pretend to go through with a wedding, somehow getting the mobster off his back.

There are some badly written and connected scenes that show the doofus male (he's always a doofus) with awesome musculature going to see his estranged father who has now won money at the track and wants to make it up to his son by giving him some of the money as a peace offering. This is done because ... well, let's just say it was because of an out-of-the-blue line spoken by a child saying that his grandparents are spending his college money on his aunt's wedding. So the fake fiance feels guilty and goes to his father.

Of course, this was only one movie of many in this movie marathon. It's enough to make you think that most women are only thinking of the wedding, and the romance, and want nothing else! The worst of it is, these are pretty bad movies, the whole lot of them.

I've often thought that--that many women nowadays (at least in the movies and on those reality TV shows and/or talk shows) seem to focus more on the wedding than the marriage. I remember a long time ago an Oprah show or something on wedding disasters and how horrible and heartbreaking it all was and how having a perfect wedding was so important, blah blah blah. I can remember thinking at the time, it's only one day. And if they think the wedding disaster is the worst thing that will ever happen to them, good luck to them. LOL Because life is one crisis or disaster after another and handling it all with humor and realizing it's not the end of the world is how to survive not only a marriage, but life. *g*

Um...right? LOL

I don't know. Those kinds of things make me itchy.
