Quote From: ldepaulaAs I watched this, I was impressed with how much Erika was embraced by the McGraw family. I too kept waiting to hear from the bride's family on how they embraced Jay. While there was a very short flash or two of Erika's parents, I was left feeling bad for them. Did Erika's family simply not feel comfortable in the limelight or were they left out by design? I understand it is the "Dr. Phil Show" not the "Erika's Parents Show" but I wonder how they felt watching the whole thing on TV?
The wedding was beautiful, that's for sure. It seemed pretty flamboyant and extravagant. Most people in the real world can't come close to having an event like that. Some people that 'have money' just don't get how showing what they can spend on a wedding (or other things) can appear to us ordinary people. I also felt for the parents of the bride ,as it appeared Robin & Co. just took over. I am in the position of mother of the bride right now and I would also feel hurt to be left out. I want my daughter to be made welcome in their family but it sure seemed lopsided. It just shows what lots of money can do. Some things should be kept within your own circle of friends and family. Did this show bother anyone else? My friends that saw this show agreed that it was 'over the top'.
