Well, somehow I missed the second episode of the season and it is not on Spectrum’s On Demand. Maybe part one and part two ran on the same night and I didn’t notice? I’m irked. I also pulled photos and then cleaned out my photo files. This recap just doesn’t seem to want to happen.
Kate & Luke
Looks parents are freaking out more than the bride and groom. His mother is sobbing and the bride hasn’t even shown up yet. Kate’s father apparently isn’t coming so her brother is walking her down the aisle. She wants her groom to have a beard and three out of four of the new grooms do. Luke is one of them.
Luke recognizes Kate from one of his speed dating events. It seemed like this was going to be an issue based on the commercials but he immediately gives her a hug before the ceremony even starts and has a huge smile on his face. She doesn’t seem to recognize him.
These two seem so happy together. I can’t stop smiling watching this ceremony. Luke is definitely a hugger. He hugged her three times during the ceremony. Over champagne Kate realizes that he is the speed dating guy.
At the reception, Luke is very nervous about the first dance. Did these two kiss at the ceremony? I thought everyone did but Luke’s mom is now so all in on this idea that she is leading the charge for the couple to kiss in front of everyone. Luke is very uncomfortable. He doesn’t want to be forced into a kiss so they don’t. In the previews we see Kate tell Kristine that Luke said he felt “repulsed and dead inside” after they kissed. That would end the relationship for me. I’ve dumped people for much less. It looks like it got even worse. Lots of scenes of her crying alone and him out with another woman.
Kristine & Keith
Keith cleans up really nice and that fact is not lost on Kristine’s family and friends. Kristine’s dad is not down with any of this. Kristine’s mom likes what she sees and gives Keith a huge hug. Keith’s mom is nervous but happy for him. All the bridesmaids have to get their hugs in with Keith as well. Kristine’s dad tries to talk her out of it. He’s making her nervous.
Kristine and Keith are both thrilled with their new spouses.
At the reception these two dance well together. Kristine says it feels like they have been dating forever. Keith informs Kristine that she will be doing all the cooking. She’s not thrilled by that. This situation shows up in the previews as well. She’s not cooking three meals a day. Does anyone? Can’t he make sandwiches for lunch? Scramble an egg?
Jasmine & Will
I may have missed the ceremony, but we pick right up with these two at the reception with Jasmine helping Will with his dance moves. All the couples this season seem to have an initial spark.
Jasmine and Will seem to have great chemistry but in the commercials they are shown disagreeing about finances. It seems like he wants to split the bills and she feels like the man should pay the larger portion.
Stephanie & AJ
During their first dance AJ shared that his mother put him in tap and jazz classes as a kid because she wanted a girl. Stephanie laughs and shares that she was supposed to be a boy. AJ is a bit on the hyper side but they both seem very happy. I’ve never seen so much harmony on the wedding episodes of this show before.
In the previews Stephanie appears to be one of those people who can’t decide where to eat dinner and AJ loses patience with her. There seems to be a lot of discord coming up for these two.
TT, did you see Wendy isn’t coming back next week now either? Hmm..
Hmm (tisk, tisk), luv the question Cat37, but maybe next time you could put your question where it belongs. Yes, I’m bitchy tonight.
Wow, this was quite a show tonight!
I’m worried about the queen and her grandma’s boy, now husband. I definitely see the physical attraction and comfort level in their marriage but they are literally hours in…
My biggest concern is Luke. Does he even know he just got married and it’s not illegal to kiss his wife when she goes in for a peck? His wife wrote a song as spoken vows, is gorgeous, not a little kiss? Hopefully he’s just painfully shy? I know as well as she took his respectful behavior in stride, most girls want to at least feel they’re desired and respected.
Makings of some traumatic unions, 3 that seem obviously poorly matched. Jasmine and Will seem to have a shot at making this work.
I think hes gay
Luke is giving me creepy vibes. I get the feeling he knows all the right things to say, but there’s no real substance behind it. Why couldn’t he have given her a quick peck when everyone was tapping their glasses? At one point, she leaned in like she was willing but he pulled back. Did he really say he was repulsed and dead inside when he kissed her? I’d have been out the door. There’s no excuse in this or any other universe to say something so hurtful to someone you just married. That shows to me that he has a very cruel streak. He doesn’t seem invested in this whole situation. Kate seems like a sweet girl and deserves better.
I’m reserving judgment on the other couples since there’s always so much editing designed to throw us off. One thing does seem off to me though. Wouldn’t you have thought that, in all the questioning and interviews they go through, they would have mentioned that they didn’t like to cook, or they expected to be cooked for? That’s a major source of disagreement. The man who expects a meal every night will feel deprived, and the woman who doesn’t want to cook will feel put upon (or vice versa).
Luke gives me the creepy Vibes too.. I wish he was who he pretended to be, she seems way too nice for him. Too bad 🙁
Luke is making this season difficult to watch. He is just cold to Kate and I want to save her from impending doom.Luke never misses an opportunity to promote his speed dating business which is a strange interest for such a unromantic groom.
I think he’s just on the show to promote. And I agree, he’s ruining it for me
I think youre right.. There is something very off with him..
My gaydar is pinging off the roof with him! There’s no way a straight man can dismiss the advances of such a sexy woman.
This is my favorite episode every season, I love the weddings and everything thinking wow this is going to work. Then I start fast forwarding when it gets awkward.
Kristine & Keith’s wedding was exactly what I hoped to see. The whole point of this show is we want to root for them!
I’m really hoping this is just a bad edit for Luke, and the producers are playing up SHOCK a single girl going to speed dating. But then he’s acting like he doesn’t want to talk to her or touch her. Honestly, it’s probably what I would do being filmed in something like this, but then I didn’t get married on camera to a stranger.
When I moderate comments (all damn day) I generally don’t even have to read the ones in all caps. Every single one of those is from a deranged person.
I just had to copies of one of those trying to post here. Oh they also used textspeak so the sentence started with “U” the gist of this comment from what I could gather was that my DVR not taping one of the episodes was unforgivable and that I need to stop drinking and do my damn job. It was actually funnier than that. I should have copied it and pasted it here. Oh and of course they are never coming back to the shitty blog EVER AGAIN IN THEIR ENTIRE LIFE!
So I think we should all wave at the newest lunatic in WLS. /insertwaveemoji
?♀️?♀️?♀️
????????????
Actually, I was going to comment that i did not see those first 2 weddings either upon first viewing. I was so super confused in the following days that people were talking about seeing 2 weddings. What the heck? I am in CA. and think you are in the south?? So the airing being different in different time zones argument does not work…………
My harder pinged soooo strongly for Luke. The guy is absolutely gay – from his mannerisms, to the lisp, to the lack of kiss… everything screams closeted man.
Haha, gay-dar, not hardar.
Jess, I thought the same exact thing. Something is off with him. Repulsed when he kissed her? Who says that???
Something is awry with these couples. All of them. The hyper guy? (sorry I can’t remember their names) who married the redhead. They are going to clash big time. The Queen Kristina? This isn’t going to sit well since she married a mama’s/grandmama’s/auntie’s boy who is used to being waited on, as is she. Not going to work. Luke appears to be in the closet, not gonna work. Kristine and Keith have different values when it comes to who pays the bills.
I don’t know with these couples. No hope for any of them but!! PLENTY of drama!! I’m in!
Kristine & Keith, two spoiled brats. This can’t be good. The older couple, nope. She appeared desperate to get married because everyone else was and felt her time was running out at 35. She may have rethink this after his hyperactivity drives her nuts. Luke, WTH? Did I read he was with another woman? His wife seems like a nice woman but that crying? WTH? Cuss his ass out and leave. The last two, The Lincoln grads, sorry I can’t remember namws. I’m not that invested yet, haven’t been since S6. Anyway, I have hopes but she appear to come off a little too strong for him, or more like selective dominance. It’s still early so I’ll give it a few more episodes. S7 was a bust. Did not hold my attention from day 1.
I think Luke might be hiding something. It’s kind of strange he runs speed dating but never met one woman. He’s the one that’s repulsive and dead inside. He ought to come on outta that closet.
