Plus Sized Groom and His Skinny Bitch Brother LOL!

I have to disagree...I thought this was one of the best episodes just for pure dialog's sake, from Ed confronting Bonnie's gambling addict deadbeat dad (an excellent turn by Ed Begley, Jr.) to Vince's wonderfully effective and surprisingly real "bridezilla" rant: "I yo-yo, Henry! Skinny bitches like you wouldn't understand!" I always have an excellent time watching "men" turn into "women" in strange situations. Will Sasso is brilliant as he screams, "This was my chance for a re-do and now it's ruined!" and throws himself down on the bed and bawls, like I did when my hair wasn't "just right" for my prom night LOL

Yeah, the "we weren't legally married the first time" might be a bit overused, but in this case, it was great! The insane/homeless wedding musician was a great touch.

Sweet and very funny!!!!

Run out of ideas already?

This plot device is at least 45 years old. And it was done on Gilligan's Island:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1167131/

This is the best the writers can do? The show just won a People's Choice award and they're already falling back on hackneyed sitcom plots. I guess they assumed that after all this time no one would remember Gilligan's Island.

Worse yet, this old plot device is based on a false premise. If you have a valid marriage license, you're married. You don't need a real minister to perform the ceremony.

The Better Father

Ah bad episode again...

I hated how they presented Bonnie's father as a bad father. They know nothing about addictions and having one doesn't make one a bad person. I can't believe that they would say that a man who loves his daughter but has to struggle with a problem is a bad father and her even calling Ed her dad. He is not her father, and sure not the better one considering that he acts like a jerk most of the time.

But on the other hand Vince and his tuxedo was great. I was laughing so much when he was crying because he is too skinny and when he got a smaller tuxedo with Bonnie's measurements
