The wedding industrial complex is terrifying

@SLO0106

The way this isn’t even a comedic parody, it’s just fully what happens

@roldanflynn4531

Love seeing Quinta’s success unfold before my eyes. Going from doing bits on IG to hosting SNL. Keep going Quinta!!!

@OvSpP

Thousands of women suffer from this every year. Together we can stop this.

@kellygreengables3936

It's scary how good SNL is at mimicking these serious documentaries. This is also the perfect precursor to wedding season (spring/summer) and all the potential cults that may arise!!

@laalaa99stl

"I was drugged... by myself." 😆

@Spashblush

“Almost always in Nashville” 😂 this got me.

@feurigerStern

This hits home. Every time my younger daughter was asked to be a bridesmaid she would tell me in a dreary voice, and I would ask what's what's wrong. Shouldn't you be happy? She would always respond that she didn't have the money and her calendar would be booked. I think that is why she had no bridesmaids at her wedding.

@Maniac536

Finally someone is revealing the truth about this horrendous institution. Here’s a reality check. If you’re making someone take several days off from work (which in the US is most likely to be unpaid at worst or cost them valuable vacation days they won’t be able to take an actual vacation with at best), spend tons of money they don’t have on a useless dress and presents for you, on top of travel expenses (gas, plane, hotel), you HATE that person

@amandaschumacher5034

I’ve been a bridesmaid 11 times. Where was the traumatic mentions of the bridal shower? The rehearsal dinner? THE GIFT OPENING BRUNCH THE DAY AFTER THE WEDDING?!

@charlesahweyevu

One of THE best descisions of my life was having the most low key wedding in the pandemic. Invited only our parents and had it in a cute public park. Took pictures with our phones and went the fuck home lol.

@stephanies9255

My best friend was the best bride ever. She opted not to force the bridesmaids get specific dresses. She said to just get something of our choice that was appropriate, affordable, and rewearable, as long as it was in a shade of her color choice. There was no bachelorette party. It was just her and I staying at a nice hotel the night before the wedding, doing facial masks, whitening our teeth, talking, laughing, reminiscing and me just being there for her as she excitedly looked forward to her big day. It was the best night and it only deepened our bond of friendship. The big day was chill and calm, but very beautiful, memorable and meaningful.

@SelenaHill

“I was drugged —- by myself…I had no choice!” That line took me out!

@LyndaStarr

The fact that I’m a bridesmaid and we JUST had the bridal shower last week makes this even more hilarious and accurate 😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@throneofheros8755

A documentary I would absolutely watch

@focusedficus

This did not go far enough. It needs to be a series.

@MsZephyra

This is an excellent point about women being sucked into the wedding industrial complex even when they're NOT the ones getting married. Women already have a tough time maintaining financial stability for so many reasons. At a time when I was broke and in between jobs, I was expected to fly halfway across the country twice even before the wedding, and offered zero financial assistance. I was maid of honor and my friend appreciated my efforts, so I didn't complain.

@jmatwood

The "don't worry, I'm gonna be such a chill bride" followed by the laugh and video effects actually made me snort laugh out loud. Ah, so good.

@laalaa99stl

This is practically a PSA 😂

@andrewkuhlmann7395

This needs to be expanded into a 90 minute movie
