First off, this episode reminded me of a very thought provoking story I heard. An aqquaintance told me about a friend of her's, (who has some kind of a job at weddings, I don't remember exactly what it was) who wittnesed two weddings in the same day that were total opposites of each other. In the first wedding, a member of the bridal party was in a wheel chair, so the couple had planned ahead and made all these adjustments to accomadate that. Now listen to this!!! In the second wedding that day, the couple actually paid a bunch of models they didn't even know to be in the wedding group just so the pictures would look good! How sick is that!
My whole take on this is, the day truly is about the bride and the groom, so it should be a reflection of who they are, not a reflection of what would look good on the cover of a magazine. I mean, look at all the couples who do unique things like getting married while sky-diving, or getting married underwater in a coral reef in scuba suits. Just like a gift that someone made with their own hands is often more meaningful than something someone bought at a store, the less "perfect" a wedding is, the more it will be an expression of the love and intimacy the couple is feeling at that time and the feelings that brought them together. What happens at a wedding should feel good in your heart, not look good in a picture.
