Why We Rated This on for Ages 9 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Much of the show's fun/humor revolves around people behaving inappropriately -- but generally not extremely so. There's a fair amount of cake smashing and the like, for example. Some mild reinforcement of gender stereotypes.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Pratfalls aplenty. In an episode featuring a Klingon wedding, there's some fake Klingon-style violence, including a faux beheading.

  • Sex:

    Some suggestive dancing here and there.

  • Language:

    Words like "pissed" are audible and printed in subtitles. In one sequence, a bride thinks her groom said "vagina," when he said "Regina" (pronounced the same way), and then she makes a couple of jokes about it.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    People toast with champagne, and while no one is pointed out as being drunk, you have to wonder in a few sequences. ...
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Wild Weddings

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?
