What Parents Need to Know
This review of Wild Weddings was written by Anne Louise Bannon
Parents need to know that this wedding-themed reality show is all about things going wrong at a very important moment -- and a lot of what goes wrong has to do with people behaving inappropriately. Nothing gets too edgy or graphic (expect more cake smashing than painful injuries, for example), but you're still laughing at other people's big day gone awry. Some parents might be concerned that the "stunt" weddings reflect a lack of seriousness about marriage (though others might feel that they put the whole "three-ring circus" aspect of weddings into perspective...).
Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether they would want their own iffy behavior shown on national television. Kids: Is it worth it just to be on TV? Are people more likely to behave inappropriately in public because shows like this are out there? Is there ever such a thing as true privacy in this 24/7 media world?

What’s the Story?
Is It Any Good?
The good news? The more graphic scenes -- such as the groom barfing at the altar or the bridesmaid whose skirt flips up when she falls while dancing -- are handled as well as can be expected; producers pop a little bouquet graphic over the barf or panties, for example.
And aside from that, the show is silly, romantic, and mostly funny. While some of the goof-ups might have seemed horrific at the time -- such as a tux shop delivering the wrong-size suits, forcing the groom and groomsmen to literally tape their clothes together at the last second -- ultimately you're reminded that things like that are just part of life ... so you might as well laugh.
