Just Like Come Dine With Me - But With Weddings

Did I say there was nowt on TV anymore? I forgot about 4 Weddings! For anyone who's not seen this but who has seen Come Dine With Me, it's just the same, right down to the wisecracking commentator (it's not the same guy, but he obviously models himself on him). The difference is, of course, that the four people go to each other's weddings.
You can tell it's all a bit staged, when for example they ask one girl "What's your wedding nightmare?" and she says "Anything on a boat" and the next girl says "My wedding is on a boat...". We've seen all sorts, from totally chavtastic weddings, fancy dress (Sci-fi and Horror to date, another Halloween is coming up), budget bashes and over the top extravaganzas. Today there was even a wedding that was called off - naturally she didn't win the prize.
It's no surprise that every girl thinks their wedding was the best, that's just as it should be, but the entertainment really comes from their fly-on-the-wall critiques of the other girls' weddings - aided by that wisecracking commentator!
Wife said "It's good, but I couldn't watch it every week", obviously forgetting that we do watch it (almost) every week, and will have watched 3 in 3 days by this time tomorrow! With only Big Brother as an alternative, thank God for 4 Weddings!
