Topic : 02/22 Hell Weddings

I agree.  As a woman I was both appalled and pi**ed off after watching that segment.   I couldn't believe the way she constantly emasculates this man.  There's a difference between having the wedding of your dreams and being a complete jerk.  She says she loves him, but she totally ignores his feelings about EVERYTHING. She went WAY over budget for the wedding; she mocked the way he looked in the tux; she embarrased him when he tried to propose.    Why in the h#ll is she even marrying this man?  This isn't love, this is the first signs of spousal abuse.  She already has two children.  And she's treating Marvin like he's one. 

 

Angela talks about being organized.  That's not organization--it's control in the worst possible way.  It's a defense mechanism to keep from being hurt.  Meanwhile she's hurting everybody around her.  Her assertion that she's "better" than she used to be simply means she's just a b*tch and not a super b*tch now.  Wow, what an improvement. 

 

I'd never marry this woman without months of counseling.  It that doesn't work, I'd tell Marvin to take care of his child and then find a woman who will respect him; love him; and work WITH him.    

Angela is being rediculous, demanding and making a fool of herself. She appears to be a selfish, whiney brat.

Does she think this is a flattering side to show the world on national TV? Perhaps she has watched too many TV shows herself and thinks this is how most brides act. She should be embarrassed by her behavior. She is showing Marvin absolutely no respect. He is the one she supposedly loves (though I doubt it-she appears to only love the dress, the ring, the wedding itself) and this is when you should be the kind of "head over heals" in love that is in story books - it only gets harder after the wedding. After 32 years of marriage, I have earned the right to say that.

 

Marvin needs to cut and run - FAST! He seems like a nice guy who deserves way better than Angela.

 

he show on bridezilla's was interesting.  The groom seemed like a nice funny guy, who deserves a lot better than her.  she is a demanding bitch.  If he thinks will be different when they're married is he in for a rude awakening.  It is only going to get worse.   he should head for the hills while he still can.

I totally agree andfrom what I have read fom the other messages so does everyone else.  Marvin should run for the hills.  She is showing her true colors and it will only get worse after the wedding.

 

I wouldn't be friends or anything else with a person like that either.

 I am sure if dr phil felt lke it was a good relationship he would have offered to pay for the wedding also.

 

He also said to marvin you may want to rethink gettng married as things will only become worse once you are.   I don't think a wedding planner would change this womans demeanor.   Marvin just needs to cut his losses and head for the hills.

 Janae and Michael didn't need/deserve a new wedding. It won't erase the first one, or her momories and resentments.  Obviously she played the victim to get a new wedding from you. AND as for Angie and Marvin....I hope Marvin sees what America saw on your show. Angie is mean and controlling. Obviously she wants to get married...doesn't matter to whom, just so he is spineless and easily bossed around. Save that money for something tangible....a new house  a CD perhaps plastic surgery to remove the dangling mole from Angie's chin.

 

The saying that every problem you have when you're affianced, will be magnified once you're married, is true for EVERY marriage.  If Dr. Phil DID give Angela the wedding, she'd still have the problem of wanting to excessively dominate the relationship, it's seems to be her natural inclination.  I don't know if Marvin should head for the hills, they do have a child together.  But I don't think he should be trapped in "marriage hell" with a scary, overbearing woman either.

I think that Janae just wanted a free ride/wedding cause the 1st one was up to her standards.  Yeah he got drunk he was probably nerveous......still no excuse......but hey life goes on get over it.....Dr. Phil has a very BIG heart to give you another wedding.......why didn't  Janae do it if so not liking the 1st one?  I think she just wanted something to Lord over Michael to get her way..........as for Angie she is a lost cause for the wedding......yeah sure it is her big day.......but to go into debt before they have even gotten married????  Sorry but that is stupid.

 

When my husband and I got married in 1991 we hadn't even set a date yet.  He was in the USAF and they were getting ready to send him to Saudia Arbia.....then I got notice that new managers had taken over the apt I lived in and they were upgrading it to where I couldn't afford it...........so  My hubby and I went to Reno, Nev to get married........No friends, no family except for my brother and his wife as witnesses, and that was it.  Not the wedding we had planned but that is the way it worked out........we have been married now almost 17-years and not a day goes by that we regrate not getting married in a BIG FANCY wedding......

 

So I guess what I'm trying to say is..........It dosn't matter how big your wedding is.......the only thing that matters is that you love the person that you are with. 

You didn't understand? Well, that explains why you are one of the few who agree that she needed another wedding. My point was that this woman will never be able to handle EMOTIONAL problems. The comparisons in my quote were to show that bad things happen in life and you had better be able to deal with them. A wedding day is not one of them. How about we agree to just disagree? I do agree that the groom acted foolishly but it truly is what happens during the marriage that counts. Using his bad behavior to get a house, suv, etc. was wrong on her part too. She's immature and needs to grow up or their marriage will be a rocky one. jewelsf

There has really been a lot of tragedy in both of our lives. I totally agree with you about seeing beautiful expensive weddings that have gone down the drain within 5 years. The 2 of you are on the right path and I'm so happy for you. Wait until you hit your 20th anniversary like I did last year. The years seem to have flown by! I was sooooo excited and proud to tell people that it was our 20th. Everyone seemed so surprised because I guess marriages just don't last anymore. I've got to tell you something! My stepdaughter got married about 5 years ago and had a lavish wedding. He seemed like the perfect guy. She got pregnant with beautiful twin girls right away, it was an "oops" moment. We don't want to see them split now because of the girls but "ugh" her husband makes us sick. He's really turned out to be jerk! She used to be so strong and stand up for herself but this guy runs all over her. He's rude, worships money, and thinks he's better than everyone else to say the least. Believe me, I could go on and on. We really don't know if their marriage will last. So here is another example of an expensive wedding that probably never should have happened. If it weren't for those girls I would sit her down and tell her to get out NOW! Take care, Julie
