At What Cost Do You Say, I Do

On December 9th, Rich Bride, Poor Bride, a show I’ve never heard of, premieres on WE. Despite its unfortunate title, Bride actually seems to be less annoying than the Bridezilla-type wedding shows that always seem to have Sunday afternoon marathons on high-numbered cable channels. Instead of solely forcing crazy ideas of “dream weddings” upon its viewers, Rich Bride, Poor Bride focuses on helping couples achieve the wedding they want, while sticking to their individual budgets.

According to WE, this season, “eight wedding planners try to make the dreams of 13 couples come true given both small and large budgets. Together they tackle many wild and wacky wedding requests, from wrestling- themed nuptials to a modern Gothic affair, from an over-the-top winter wonderland to a celebration with royal style.” First of all, ha! Second of all, I read this probably about three times before I realized that “wrestling-themed nuptials” probably meant something involving the WWE, and not like, four bridesmaids in a mud pit. I also have no idea what a “celebration with royal style” means beyond scepters, inbreeding and adultery, but that’s probably why I’m going to die alone.

In any case, Brides does seem like it can be kind of “service-y,” in that it features a detailed breakdown of all of the costs associated with each featured wedding, so you can get an idea of how much your Princess Diana Memorial English Rose bouquet, or whatever, will cost. I’m all for shows that portray realistic weddings with realistic budgets, since most marriages aren’t started with a Vera Wang dress and $20,000 worth of flowers. When my parents got married, they had a gorgeous outdoor wedding (granted, it helped that they lived in Hawaii at the time) and had their friends bring food and drinks for the reception instead of wedding gifts. Of course, they later got divorced, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t over not getting a blender.

Season 2 of Rich Bride, Poor Bride premieres Sunday, December 9 at 8 pm on WE.
