I thought "WOW" too, but in a different way.

Everything was beautiful, but I really thought the ceremony itself, with that song, which I didn't even recognize at first, was not good. My thought was "who came up with this lame-brained idea?" I think the TODAY show may have finally jumped the shark for me, personally.

Well, admittedly I'm an old fogey and old-fashioned, and as long as the young couple loved it, and will remember it fondly, that's really all that matters. They seemed sweet, and everything else was beautiful.

I don't care for weddings on morning talk shows. It's only a time filler. I always change the channel right away.

I guess some enjoy watching though.

It was beautiful but so frenzied?

Why were they walking so fast down the street?

It was so cheesey...

@Sunshine KateI'd bet it's way more than a time filler - I think it attracts an audience for several weeks as they take their polls about the various parts of the ceremony right up to the actual day. They've been doing this for years now.

Many years ago (sometime in the early 90's), I dated a man who was a stage manager for ABCTV in NYC. I still remember a discussion we had about TV weddings; his take was that when a soap opera needed to raise their ratings, they'd write a wedding with all its build up into the script! Apparently works for other kinds of shows, too!

wasn't this a tie-in for the BFGW movie? cheesy idea.

as for moving the whole thing along quickly, they probably have tons of news to get to (Brussels) but were stuck with this wedding thing.

But I guess if you get your whole wedding paid for, why not...

Disclaimer: I didn't watch any of it

I didn't like it at all. The beginning was really weird. Dancing along with some song I never heard of and doing their vows at the same time. The whole thing was rushed. The only good thing that came out of it was their honeymoon to Greece. If you remember when they used to do Todays Wedding several years ago they were so much more beautiful then this one. Thanks.
