Four Weddings Canada, episode 11: a naturist, a steel worker and a priss walk into a wedding (insert punch line)
On this week’s episode of Four Weddings Canada, the show pits four unlikely personalities against each other: Dawn, a naturist with a full back tattoo; Courtney, a 25-year-old steel worker; Patricia, a prissy girl who works part-time at a banquet hall; and Roxy, a floral designer. It’s quite a kooky arrangement, right? Will they get along?
Patricia, age 29 (Budget: $65,000)
This girl has quite the ego. “Because of my body, everything fits me well,” she says. “And every time I tried something on, it looked really good on me.” We disagree when she calls Roxy’s white wedding the most beautiful wedding she has ever seen—we say it looked as though a person under threat of nuclear attack stockpiled all the white satin, white flower balls, white candles and white dresses she could find. When it comes to Dawn, Patricia hates her giant back tattoo of a naked fairy with flames coming out of her pubic region (wowza!). “It’s not classy,” she says. You know what’s not classy? Not finishing your rapini at dinner. We’d rather look at Dawn’s awful tattoo all night than listen to Patricia complain about how she didn’t like Dawn’s personalized vows and back ink.
Dawn, age 36 (Budget: $30,000)
Dawn is down to earth and calls it like she sees it, noting that Roxy’s husband looks “like a pirate.” We’re just going to go ahead and say that Roxy’s husband is a really good sport for letting her dress him for the wedding (because he totally looked like a pirate). On Patricia’s DJ: “If [he] asked people to scream one more time, I was going to scream in his face.” She occasionally doles out bons mots, and she’s very much the mom of this episode—she’s a legit sweetheart.
Courtney, age 25 ($23,000)
Courtney is young and, well, not smart, questioning every minute of the Catholic ceremony at Patricia’s wedding. “From what I understood, he was talking about God,” she says—about a priest, in a church, at a wedding. She also breaks down the fourth wall, noting that Four Weddings Canada “is a family show,” after Roxy says she has an orgasm in her mouth eating a cake pop. Great, now we can’t suspend disbelief that these women are all friends and that they’re on the show to support one another. Our favourite moment is when Courtney complains about not being able to eat and watch a violinist at the same time. Poor girl.
Roxy, age 27 ($100,000)
Florist Roxy is the dullest person in this episode. Her wedding is expensive, and yes, she (or her wedding planner) basically vomited white everything into a church and a reception space—but all she talks about is flowers. Here, a selection of quotes:
On Dawn’s wedding: “I wish there was a little bit more flowers.”
On Dawn’s reception: “I would have added just some more flowers.”
On Patricia’s wedding: “I obviously noticed flowers as I walked in there.”
On Courtney’s lack of flowers: “I don’t think a wedding is the same without flowers.”
At Courtney’s flower-free reception: “I love flowers.”
For being way too precious about everything, we award Patricia with this week’s title of Head Bitch in Ceremony.
(Oh, and Patricia won the honeymoon.)

Thanks Kevin!!! So nice of you to call me a legit sweetheart!!! P.S. Courtney is a very smart, beautiful, well educated woman…and her wedding was awesome, it was perfect for her!
Thanks Kevin for highlighting only my age, profession and intelligence :)
Dawn, tell me again when I’m suppose to sit and what the guy at the front talked about for an hour, and while you’re at it what was that big building with the Jebus statue that we were in?
Everything is all in good fun and hey at least we aren’t bitches, and we have a sense of humor.
Representin….. Really? No really?
You weren’t kidding when you said you were one BIG beautiful bride. Moo!
Marianne, I wish I could see you in person, I would have so much fun making your life hell, I bet there are far to many things I could say to make you cry, but truthful things that would point out just how trash you are. But like you’ve said many times, you hide behind your name, your coming on here just waiting to say something. It’s now my goal to attack every dumb thing you say. You attack the girl for being big, look around you trash. You have nothing, it seems like the girl you were protecting when your idiotic rant first appeared is still the one who is just like you, the one Kevin so masterfully nailed.
I think Roxy’s wedding was beautiful!!! She is a fantastic florist and an amazing person. Trust me of all people, she is not dull. She is very fun and very talented!
Hey Kevin for someone who thinks I’m dull you surely do write a lot about me. Thanks for all the attention! Kind words from total strangers are always valued. And thank you for acknowledging that my wedding looked like it was coordinated by a professional ;) Once again your endorsement is greatly appreciated. As for my wonderful husband, I actually had nothing to do with dressing him for our big day. In fact, neither he nor I had seen each other’s outfits prior to the wedding day and we still managed to match perfectly. Coincidence? Perhaps… Destiny? I think so… Impeccable taste? Absolutely!!! But I thought he looked more like a matador than a pirate. Oh well, I guess a pirate will do… At least he was able to fish me out a 4 carat canary yellow diamond engagement ring from his treasure chest – gotta love a good pirate!!! Aaaaaarrrrrrr!!!!!!
To Humdummm…dumb…and dumber….
If you read any of my previous posts correctly (I know you are a graduate of trailor park school taught by autie/grandma) you would have read that I wrote about people who hide behind names like you do. I think my name is out there to be read. Try wearing your thinking cap to keep posts in sequentail order. You are making me cry just knowing you’re out there. You go on about protecting…. I don’t protect anyone, only speak up for them against many of these nasty comments, and representin was one. In fact,
the wedding I attended was a winning one many episodes ago.
I posted to representin that I would critique her wedding as she did about Holly and the others. It is my right to do so, just as she did.
I fully understand the behind the name. I don’t know you even if it was your real name. You still talk a big game, which in person I’m sure it would be easy to pick you apart, and you would be a coward. As for saying nasty things, I’m not going back to look at past comments but in general you didn’t like that representn said the brides said it, and act how they are. You are right, you can say what you wish, but you had nothing on representn, who probably isn’t the girl or the girl you trashed on the last post that wasn’t even the girl. You blow this off as you don’t look stupid when you do, by your actions. The girl(bride) who started your rant, the one everyone picked on, looked like an idiot, plain and simple. Yet you made like everyone was way off and barked like you were so right. The fact you point out you were at a wedding that won, like you are the reason it won is also funny. Look, the fact you needed to wait, look for brides, guess who said what shows who the real lowlife is. To try and make yourself look smart by saying things like follow in sequential order means nothing, whose paying that much attention. Again, this is affectiing your life, the need to get back at someone you don’t know, another reason your a trashy person. A stand up person would have dropped it three shows ago. Not you though, and for that reason you are trash.
Hi All,
So it happens that I attended Roxy’s wedding. Clearly I may not be impartial. That is why I will refrain from commenting on other girls weddings as to not be suspected of favorism due to association with one party. After all I have not attended them.
My first impression is that, what was shown of Roxy’s wedding on the eleventh episode of Four Weddings Canada, was at least very negatively biased. Consider the fact that all the other brides were really wowed, their jaws literally dropping (review the show and tell me otherwise)when they entered the venue yet the ratings were fairly low.
Also I though having friends on the show was a no no. Apparently not. Dawn and Courtney are friends and at some point one of them admits it will be difficult to judge her friends wedding. Weren’t they supposed to be strangers?
The commentary of Roxy’s wedding did not begin to describe the level of attention to detail this wedding showcased. I may only agree with the cold main course.
As far as I am concerned Roxy’s wedding was too good. It threatened the other brides and therefore they needed to trash it.
Kevin’s comments? Pure nonsense. Roxy’s wedding was a one to be put in a magazine like WedLuxe or similar.
The little dress mishap only adds to the charm. Otherwise it would have really been to perfect.
Regarding the show itself. It is really sad that the Canadian version rather than build upon experiences of the US version and make it better encourages bitchiness and negativity. Again Roxy stood out keeping it classy and looking for positives and generously awarding points.
The Four Weddings Canada crew should be ashamed of themselves.
umm, somebody made up ALL these posts, yes? After a lot of bad tequila? Or was it the weddings they made up – or is this a sitcom? Nobody gets married like this in real life, do they? People just have a simple wedding in a United Church or a restaurant or in their condo party room, and have a little dinner and a cake made by their best friend. Then then go on a honeymoon to Montreal or maybe Cuba. Nobody could possibly MAKE UP “sequentail”, ‘4 carat canary’ or the overuse of “Trash” (adjectives, adverbs, or ‘your (sic) a trashy person’) without your tongue so FAR in your check it looks like a goitre. Or is this a tryout for the Onion?
I met Courtney for the first time the day we all met. We spent the entire day together and got along amazingly. We actually live 2 hours away from each other and are 10 years apart in age. We have become great friends that laugh joke and support one another. This was the best thing to come out of the whole experience. And that’s what it was…a really cool experience. Honeymoon or not It was a ton of fun!
Personally I thought roxy should have been the head bitch. She talked like a valley girl, like I’m so professional, like you know, and seemed to look down on the others, like she thought she was better because of money which means her life is probably full of fake people. Looks like the two brides weren’t friends before, and if Roxy’s friend is on here trying to justify why she didn’t win then you know Roxy is still going on that all her hard work was somehow low balled by the others. I doubt that, and if that was the case, then all the brides must not have liked her. I don’t know, but why would they all just do that together. It seems like she just went over the top to try and win a honeymoon. The others seemed to just try and have the day they wanted for them. The fact Roxy came on here to point out how professional her wedding looked, and how big her ring is says a lot about her, how she is materialistic and judges life by the things that don’t matter. Now I could be wrong, I’m going off a show and understand its edited and such. This is opinion on what I saw, and the after effects on here. Dawn is true to the show and on here defending a friend she made, very classy. Courtney made fun of herself and seemed like a easy going joker on the show. Really, who cares about not knowing what happens in a catholic wedding. Obviously they couldn’t hear and again the editing probably portrayed it a certain way. The winner, seemed a little into herself but nice and caring at the same time. The tattoo comment was the worst thing she said and it wasn’t cool but thought she seemed decent everywhere else. Mikolaj, your off on to many points, and sound like a bit of a baby. The girls didn’t trash her, they weren’t jealous, she had flaws, looks don’t make the wedding the best. She did get good marks for that, the show is fair. Did she get last for a reason, must have, is it fair, sure, three others voted, does any of the losing brides have to agree, no way. It’s done though, enjoy your married life, try to beat the statistics and stay married and that’s it, why beat yourself up. One other thing, I thought Roxy’s husband looked pretty cool, more matador yes.
Patricia, Dawn and Roxy; you all looked absolutely stunning on your big day! From what I hear from Courtney, I’m kind of bummed we didn’t get to hang out more at the wedding because you girls all sound awesome!
Congrats on the win and honeymoon Patricia! Hope you guys have an amazing trip!
The joys of reality TV. I think anyone who attended any of the weddings [from the whole season, not just this group of girls] would agree the editing hadn’t done justice to their big days. It’s an hour long show. Obviously cuts need to be made, and seeing as each wedding gets approximately 7-9mins of air time, the majority of it will be left out. I can sit here and name off the things that were awesome about Courtney’s wedding that weren’t included in the episode, but it would be pointless. The people who attended the wedding know it was a great day, with great company, and it was their perfect day [as I’m sure any other guests for any other wedding would be in agreeance in regards the celebrations they attended]. I don’t think bitchiness and negativity are encouraged at all. Four Weddings Canada has the right to edit anything that was said and deliver it in a different context [it said so in the contract]. It takes balls to sign up for this kind of show, and I applaude all the ladies who competed in it! You need a thick skin to take the criticism that comes along with being apart of this endeavor.
With that said, Marianne, really? Do you seriously get kicks by sitting at home, on your computer, acting like an attention seeking child? People like you are beyond pathetic! It’s pretty sad that you feel the need to bring other people down with petty remarks like – “You weren’t kidding when you said you were one BIG beautiful bride. Moo!”. I feel really bad for you. Really I do, because you’re clearly a very self-conscious little girl who feels the need to rip other people apart in order to feel better about yourself. There’s a big wide world out there. I highly suggest leaving the confines of your little safety net and experiencing it! It would do you wonders. Not to mention, I had a girl at work today [who is an avid F.W.C watcher] who said that she was really happy to see a plus size girl on the show because it would encourage other full figured women to participate, oppose to shying away from a great opportunity because of bullshit fueled comments like the one you’ve presented. Her exact words were, “Courtney’s like a pioneer and totally represented the plus size girls with class.” Calling people a bitch [which I’m assuming is the word running through your head right now about me] is one thing, but moo-ing and calling someone fat just because you disagreed on a prior thread is on a completely different level and is beyond immature. Very uncalled for and tasteless.
Once again, all you girls did awesome and I have to say hands down, this episode was the most entertaining to watch! :)
Materialism to the max…. Roxy, you did not need to come on an blab about how big your right is and all that. This article is written so stir you up – relax girl! I thought your wedding looked beautiful and with $100 000 to spend, it should but with your attitude through your response – I’m kinda glad your wedding didn’t win!
What a great episode to watch! So entertaining and some really spectacular weddings! Congratulations to everyone for doing such wonderful jobs planning your special day.
What I really want to say, I want to say to the Brides.
You all looked beautiful on your wedding day! And you all looked wonderful throughout the show. You all did amazing with your budgets.
The personalities in this episode were great! Honest, real women! Dawn, you are a strong and confident woman who is comfortable in your own skin and I applaud that! Courtney, you’re not afraid to break the mould and do what makes you happy. Don’t change that, ever! Patricia, you seem very comfortable with yourself and not afraid to say anything. This article makes you out to be the bitch, but it must not be true because the other brides don’t seem to have any quarrels with you. Kudos on the win. Roxy, even with a $100,000 budget you seem so “girl next door” and I love that!
The four of you are very brave to invite a television show to film, edit and air your most important day! There must be so much you wish they showed about your own weddings, or maybe put your words into context. But that’s what tv is all about. Editing. Making an interesting show for viewers. There’s a lot of snarky comments here because people forget that this is your (the brides) life. It’s a real wedding and it’s your most special day. Don’t let rude remarks from people you don’t know ruin the memories.
Congrats to all of you! This was my fav episode of the season!!
Hello girls! I was obviously trying to make a joke to seem a little “less dull”. Similarly with the comment I made about having an orgasm in my mouth. I happen to have a very “manly” sense of humor that may seem offensive to women but is probably quite alright with men. So cheer up girls, I really am not a mean girl. Just ask the other 3 brides about my attitude ;) And for the record, Kevin, the pirate link is hilarious!!! My husband and I were laughing so hard tears were streaming down our face. If I seemed dull in the show it was simply to stay neutral and not to offend anyone’s hard work. I love weddings and I appreciate when people put their heart into it and I would never go on television and publicly bash anyone (sarcasm/joke alert ladies). I would simply do it when the cameras are off, lol. I love Court, Patricia and Dawn – they are my home girls even when if they don’t like their steak bloody!
Great comments ladies! Thanks again for such a great experience! Just for the record Roxy…my steak was rare and I LOOOOVED IT!! :0)
Hey Roxy…if you believe in karma, which you state on your FB wall, then I guess it will come back on you. Looks like outside of this blog its your friends trashing the other girls, which I suspect your spoildness and ignorance are part of behind the openness of a wall. So cheers to karma and what it really knows and sees, because it will be paying u a visit, and dose of reality. To the other girls, live long and happy, you all seemed real and lady like. Great Job!!!!
Haha, polish power Roxy…this girl is a joke, always has been. Her and her friends, easy to make fun of. Chubby checker and the sloppy bunch. She has so much vision, she couldn’t even envision a theme for her own wedding. Just add everything and hope I look awesome. You need a big ring to hide your chubby fingers. Who serves cold meat, that in itself should have took you rate out of the race. And a cheaply made dress..haha, love it. Even the priest didn’t know who he was marrying, looks good on her.
Message for flowerpower and friend of a friend in the know,life is full of surprises ,money,and discoverable Ip numbers,money buy rings and make people talk. Ip numbers maybe make people be discoverable. Remember ,secrets are between 2 persons,not 3 persons or is not secret anymore. One day I will show you the real meaning of life. I love to make surprises(legal surprises). To everyone(be smart and remember Ip numbers help resolve a lot of secrets in this short and amazing life).Love to everyone’s and a lot of love to Carlo the pirate and Roxy.
Carlo, I guess let me start by saying both those people you pointed out are the same…me! I will admit I don’t know you, your wife, her friends, your friends. I will also man up and say sorry to your wife and you as I see your not to happy. You seem like a hard worker, your wife proud of what she does, and I’m sure your money is hard earned. Here is the problem and the ONLY reason I even.tried to get a response from not you but your wife. Like any good husband you came on here and stuck up for your wife and very expected. I know someone who is very hurt by many bad and hurtful comments from your wife’s social network. Totally uncalled for! Being a protective friend, I guess I tried because of how bad I felt for this person to see how it felt back. Definately not a smart way to handle it, a smart way would have been to comfort and let it go. To come on here and threaten me isn’t that cool and really over words that aren’t true is maybe taking it to far, but I guess I understand. So I will try to do my part, apologize again as I know I don’t mean what I said, and I have heard your wife is very laid back and nice and obviously a great person to you and her friends. The wedding did look good on tv and this blog was an easy out to critique. I mentioned polish, I’m close enough to being one myself and knew it might hit a nerve, again, that probably explains the hard workers, which is only a good thing.
Let me end with sorry for stooping to a level that driven off feeling bad for someone who was also hurt by words. Your right, this short amazing life shouldn’t be wasted on this kind of stupidness that doesn’t prove anything and is just negative. Hopefully you can.accept this. To Roxy, also truely sorry, I feel bad because of my words, probably made you feel bad. Your hard work showed well, and no one on the show deserved anything but praise. To you I apologize to.
It’s crazy to see what people will write and say to one another on this blog. It doesn’t matter want anyone says Patricia won and theirs nothing that can change that fact. Marianne you make yourself seem above others and that u know best sorry to tell you but u suck. Of Kevin did an article on you I believe he would win an award it would be talked about for years and years. That being said no one sat behind their computer and trashed the way u look or anyone else they as in Representin commented on the way people are handling themselves after the show. You on the other hand took a dig at someone’s appearance. You tell her to be careful about what she writes wise words you should also adhere to before you get burnt. And to Representin I never would have thought a Steelworker would be on the show. Good for you girl I like the diversity in all the careers the girls have had. Roxy your flowers were amazing. I believe the girls gave you amazing marks on venue from the show and the food not so much. Your dress was sexy and sophisticated the back was stunning. Go girl. Dawn u were awesome to watch and don’t change maybe I’ll see ya at a nature park. And to Patricia all I can say is congrats. The thing about this episode that really got me was the fact there was no low balling. You could see these girls truly loved weddings and like all the weddings they went to based on overall scores. Marianne don’t be bitter life’s to short mend fences and be the better person I know ur not truly a mean girl.
I have to say the comments on here are more than interesting and entertaining. To those who said kind words, not just to me but also to my fellow Brides, thank you. What you saw on the show was a small representation of who we really are.
While I have, on past write ups, made comments about the reactions of Brides to how the show portrayed them – I can now say while I understand their anger, frustration and in some cases disgust at home the editing came together, I still stand by what I’ve said in the past. As hurtful and bias as their episodes may have been, getting angry doesn’t actually solve anything. While I admit as the season progressed, and my air date got closer, my nerves set it. How would I look on TV? Not just physically, but more importantly, my character.
I pride myself on being a hard worker, a good friend, an honest person and an all around genuine person. For anyone who knew me and watched the show they laughed and may have muttered “that’s Courtney.” For people who don’t know me, they left with the impression that I’m a dumb steelworker who has no clue as to what’s going on in the world around me. I could defend myself a great deal, but it’s beyond pointless. I know who I am and no one hour show can change that.
As for the other girls on the show .. here’s a little insight.
Dawn, as anyone who reads my Facebook or event watched the show knows, has become an awesome friend of mine and that won’t be changing anytime soon. She is a sweetheart to the core and isn’t afraid to speak her mind. She obviously has a hatred for banquet halls, just as I do with Flowers. Her wedding was absolutely beautiful and really was tons of fun. Looking back, I do feel horrible that I gave her 6.5 on her food. She deserved a 7.5 – I mean come on, my chicken was so good that it was stolen right off my plate! In my defense, that was my first wedding and I didn’t know how I Earth I was going to judge somebody’s big day.
Patricia, was my partner in crime at the first Wedding and since then I knew I liked her. Sadly they didn’t air the perfect crime her and I pulled off, but I think that’s something her, Roxy and myself can have as our own little story. Her wedding was BEAUTIFUL. The decor was beyond impressive and all of the little touches she said she’d make sure were perfect – were just that. Her violnist was not at all what I was expecting and it really did get things started. She definitely deserves a beautiful honeymoon for all of her hard work!
Roxy, did not get enough credit for the amount of work she did to her venue. Had they shown anything I said I think people would have got a better idea of what she had to do. The Venue was beyond gorgeous, BUT the venue just came as in. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING you saw – cutlery, plates, linens, to the copious amounts of candles, flowers and beyond – Roxy was responsible for organizing. She really does have a big heart and is so passionate about what she does for a living. I think it’s beyond admirable that despite my lack of flowers, she still complemented my bouquet.
With all that said, I have to admit it was a hard pill to swallow when it came to showcasing my wedding. It felt like the whole episode was filled with a great deal of positivity and when it came time for my wedding, nothing could make them happy. The comments hurt and the overall representation of my Wedding was momentarily devastating. It’s hard to hear anything bad about something you took the time personalizing, because it’s not just a matter of ripping apart your wedding – it’s as if they were ripping apart who I am. I think it’s worth reminding everyone that my budget was $23,000. Had I had a budget of $65,000 (Patricia) or $100,000 (Roxy) then perhaps I would have been able to get someone to make my menus, programs and seating chart, instead of having them look like a high school project, or I would have been able to rent additional linens so I didn’t have the black on black on black. Do I hold any anger towards the ladies for what they said? Hell no. I was in that Green room three times. I know what questions were asked, I know that personally for every bad thing I may have said about anyone’s wedding, I said at least five nice things. I could be assuming that the girls said lots of great things about my wedding, but when edited it was chosen to only air the negative. Could I be wrong with that assumption? Absolutely, but I’m going to continue to assume that because truthfully, I liked all of the girls and don’t want to think of them in a negative light. I want to think of Dawn as the girl with the perverted sense of humor, Patricia as the little girl who could probably drink anyone under the table and Roxy as the admirable honest and kind-hearted florist.
If you look at our episode as a whole, we were four honest and fair Brides. First place bride got 88 points … I may be wrong but I think that’s the highest out of the entire season. Fourth place got 71 points – um, that’s higher than at least 80% of the Brides WHO CAME IN FIRST during the season. There was no low-balling, there was no “I’m going to say everything was bad because I can” bull shit. Despite my initial hesitance and fear of how our episode would turn out, I have to say I am so happy with it.
Do I wish they had showed my dance floor at the beginning of the night when it was packed? Obviously. Do I wish they had showed me dancing it up with my awesome co-workers? F*** yes. I knew my cocktail hour was nothing spectacular. It was a last minute change of plans due to reasons beyond my control. For the 45 minutes they had to endure sitting in a setting comparable to a funeral, I say deal with it. Having my mid-November wedding ceremony outside, meant more to me than I think anyone will know, for reasons that I wish to keep to myself. I probably should have told Patricia to bring a snuggie, but the thought slipped my mind. As cold as they were, I appreciate the kind words said about my dress and my ceremony. Everything you saw (well, for those who were actually AT the wedding) was Tyler and I to a “T.” We are a fun couple, who know how to laugh – and apparently run warm hearted so weren’t affected by the breeze – I’m sure the fact that I have some extra … we’ll call it insulation – helped me brave the 12 degree weather as well.
I look through my pictures and footage of my wedding, and in 99% of them I am laughing or smiling ear to ear. That is how I remember my wedding and no show, no editing, no negativity and no other opinions will ever change that.
Now that my comment is longer than all the comments and actual article itself … I will finish with saying once again, thanks to those who had great things to say and for those of you who didn’t, in two days you’ll have your chance to pass on some more judgment.
wow…I am shocked how many rude and negative people are out there. Has everyone forgotten this was all for fun and in hopes to win a honeymoon of a life time!!I’d like to think all the brides enjoyed themselves, had a blast being on the show and can at least come out of it saying it was such a great experience. (honeymoon or no honeymoon)!!
As for the actual editing of the show, so much more was said……sooo much material was edited its too bad they only show the negatives, but thats reality T.V and I’m sure all the brides were aware what they got them selves into.
I must say this!!
I am sooo disappointed with all the hate mail towards Roxy!… this shit pisses me off! Roxy is a great girl and I totally wish I judged her wedding differently now that I watch the show…ok so the food was cold, but everything else was great! her flowers were absolutely stunning, she did an amazing job! sooo much detail was put into the wedding.
Roxy not once said ANYTHING negative nor trash any of the weddings, she’s a florist that has seen absolutely everything! yet she managed so say sweet and positive comments about everyones weddings even though she know whats out there ….she’s seen it all and I’m sure our weddings were below average to what she’s used to seeing. I agree with her for wanting everything….and she’s one lucky girl for being able to afford it!!
After my wedding I was told how much Roxy trashed it and hated it, that she was on the phone all night with her ” wedding planner” and yes I can admit I was a bit upset..ok very upset and that it might have affected my score…I wish I could take it all back….it is clear to me now that its all untrue and I feel that possibly it was a plan….and that I was tricked.
The show made Roxy’s wedding look like everything went wrong, well it didn’t. Both Roxy and I know it was the nicest wedding ever!! by far the nicest I have ever attended and most importantly she had an amazing night! I might have not seen her first dance but after watching the show, it was soooo cute!I I think her and Gil….I mean Carlos are a perfect match!
So all I want to say is wow…so many jealous girls out there…….and who doesn’t want a 4ct ring!!!! are you kidding me… Roxy if you have it flaunt it!!! that ring is stunnin! just don’t go swimming with it or you’ll go straight down with that rock! I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST!!! AND WILL RECOMMEND ANY BRIDE TO YOU!
So I was nominated as the HEAD BITCH and I think it’s hilarious, I went on the show not expecting much from it …and I won!!!I don’t think I was overly negative I was just myself :)
Thank you to the brides for voting for me…..and for saying I’m size zero on t.v…..I love it!
Ps…..” I’m having an orgasm in my mouth” is a classic!!! the funniest comment on the show!!!….along with my “farm tasting” HAHA
Love
Patricia ” HEAD BITCH IN CEREMONY”
Can someone help me??…I’m dying to know what venue Roxy used for her wedding!! My sister just got engaged and I’m trying so hard to find the venue ’cause literally I’m in love!
Our venue was 99 Sudbury in the Liberty Village. FYI the venue is a rather “blank canvas”. Most items need to be brought in including the decor, which was done by my company. However, it is an awesome space for someone who is looking for something a little different :) Cheers!
Patricia, I loved your dress. What brand is it and where did you get it from please?
Roxy, you were absolutely ROBBED! I am a huge fan of all the wedding shows on TLC and slice and your wedding is by far the best wedding I have ever seen on TV or in real life. I was watching it with my mom and sister, and although I am not even engaged yet, we were all saying that we need to find a copy of the footage of your wedding so that we can use it as inspiration for my future wedding. Thank you!
Where can I find a list of your wedding dress designers? I LOVE Courtney and Roxy’s dresses!!!
