Did anyone watch this on Friday night? It's strangely mesmerizing, if only to see how much money goes down the tubes for a single day. Jung said that the minimum budget of weddings they do is $200,000 US, and goes into the millions.

I watched and the excess got to me. I'm just so sick of the flagrant spending of money. Oh, and if the tables are one inch off, it will all be wrong. I'll probably watch because I like to see the weddings, but in the back of my mind is the thought that the money could have been far better spent.

I saw this too. Yeah, these weddings are all such big waste to me. Even the husband alluded to whether spending so much money for one day was worth it (when making his toast) and quickly said it was when he sees the end product (Of course since he's making a killing off of these weddings, he thinks it's worth it).

BTW - the wife is a total bitch when stressed out.

Overall I liked the show and is more interesting than similar shows of its ilk.

I didn't care for it either and won't watch another epi of it. Too much $$ for a one day event (or a few hrs if truth be told).

I'm not going to watch this long enough to learn the names of the couple who plans these weddings, but the wife/bitch is WAY too much about "how do you like MY work, how do you like MY table deocrations" at the ACTUAL EVENT!!! No bride needs to get dragged around a venue to validate the self-worth of the planner -- it's her wedding day, and the planner should not be trying to be the main event! Yes, some of it was for television, but the wife/bitch was far too intent on looking at the bride and waiting for the praise -- ummm, INSISTING on the praise! -- I'm sure she is like that all the time.

And yes, this was way too much excess.

And why luminaries all over the steps of the New York Public Library in broad daylight?

If I had to hear one more time "we've only got 55 minutes" or "there is no kitchen facility" -- without it being a drinking game, I was thinking it could have been a half-hour show if they did not repeat the same main points five times in each segment.

Goodbye, show.

IIRC, a few years ago Jung Lee was a planner featured on Whose Wedding Is It Anyway. At that point Fete had just gotten started, and even then she was a complete Type A, driven individual. I can totally see why people would think her a bitch, but I guess I'm so used to that kind of energy that it didn't bother me. I think she's one of those people where you have to listen to what she's saying, not how she's saying it. Also back then, she didn't have the kids. But she did also have a couple of grocery stores (!) that they showed her checking out to the same degree she plans these events.

I do agree, the timing is off on this show. I'm sure it was already filmed and they had to eventually broadcast it, but the whole excessive wedding thing is not fun in this economic climate. I would even give that a pass, if I felt that Jung's creative touches really took things to the next level, but I was completely underwhelmed. Particularly with the neon "escort table." Although I thought candle mirror boxes were a cool effect at the other wedding.

I kind of admire Jung's drive to have everything be perfect, perfect, perfect, but it makes her seem a little inflexible at times. And when she groans about having 2-3 events back to back, not enough time, yadda yadda, I just sit back on my sofa and think, "time management, Jung. Don't overbook yourself and you won't have this stress."

I loved this show and I can't wait until they start showing it regularly. I watched Jung on WWIIA and she was by far my favorite planner. She has excellent ideas and always gets her stuff done.

I don't mind at all that people are paying $200,000+ on their weddings, if you can do it and not have to refinance your home (Regina from Bridezillas) then go for it. The big spenders are the people who are keeping a lot of the vendors in business so I say keep spending if you can.

I loved Jungs idea of putting the candles in the mirror boxes. If I ever get married I'm so doing that.

I thought's Jung's level of stress was appropriate for the job to be done. She didn't seem especially mean to anyone, and the challenges were huge. However, I wish she had brought something dressy to slip into when she greeted the bride and groom at those high-end receptions. It just seemed wrong to be in a formal wedding scene looking like she had just moved furniture (OK, she did just move furniture). It takes 30 seconds to slip on something nicer.

Gosh, I imagine Jung Lee gets her share of Bridezillas in this line of work.

I was all gungho to dislike Jung but a couple of things made me love her. Going to be with her daughter the morning of an important event instead of sending Josh or a nanny (I'm sure they have one), complimenting Josh on doing a good job while she was at the hospital with the daughter instead of berating him that he wasn't perfect, and running to him after he came to the event later and just wanting to be with him all won me over. So yeah, she's clearly slightly neurotic and type-A but I loved her. I hope this show continues for awhile.

I had mixed feelings about both Jung and the show. I hope that it was staged drama when she said she had been planning one couple's wedding for almost a year but was just showing them the mock up of the reception tables a few days before the event. I'm not saying she needs to show them eight months in advance, but doing it a few days beforehand and then complaining about the stress of having to make changes? You brought that shit on yourself.

I can see how abrasive/annoying Jung comes off, but for every instance where she got frustrated with her husband and essentially said, "I'll just go do it myself," there was usually another incident to balance it out where her employees simply do not have the attention to detail that they should. If they were paying attention and doing their jobs correctly, about half of her hissyfits could have been avoided.

Case in point: that neon table. Did you morons really think the light would penetrate through wood? Did you try turning it on to see how it looked BEFORE you put all the cards and decorations on the table? Yes, she had a fit about it, but that's because it's her name, reputation, and company on the line if she promises something and then it doesn't happen because her bone-headed staff members don't do it correctly. A bride who paid $200K+ for her reception is not going to accept an excuse along the lines of, "My employee is dumb as a doorknob."

I do think she is a tightly wound control freak, but after seeing incidents like the neon table, I can understand her need to compulsively micromanage - when she doesn't, shit happens.

People are paying Jung huge sums of money, so regardless of whether its foolish or not (and I do think this kind of excess is ridiculous), she has to be sure everything is perfect. I didn't think she was a bitch at all. She was forceful, she expected everyone's best effort and attention, she knew what she wanted. She was very warm to her bridal couples and their families. And very sweet with her kids. (Its interesting to me that a woman who is assertive and strong and is driven to get things done right is perceived as a bitch. A man would be a go-getter, a leader.) Her crew didn't seem cowed by her or resentful, even at the most high pressure moments people had smiles on their faces and were willing and quick to do what they were supposed to do. And then when they'd all done a long day's work she took everyone out for a drink and thanked her team for their hard work. I liked her.

Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the show. I was expecting it to be just a fountain of excess, but it really wasn't. However, if the husband acted like Jung, I would consider him to be an ass, not as a leader or go-getter. I would never be able to work for Jung, even if her work ends up being amazing. She was just too cold to me, and every emotion she put on seemed forced and fake.

That said, I'll watch the show again.

Ah, the return of crazy ass Jung. She scared the life out of me on WWiiA. I adore her.

Apparently this is an actual show now! It's premiering after Say Yes to the Dress on Friday.

I watched her on that show and had no idea she had this show now. I'm afraid.

Love, love, love Jung! She is definitely Type A and crazy as hell, and I couldn't work for/with her for 5 minutes, but she is the best at planning weddings. I saw the preview show that was on during the summer, so I have been anxiously awaiting the series. So glad to have something good to watch on Friday nights!

Did anyone watch it on Friday?

The bride was ... interesting. I couldn't believe her pickiness over the food, and she really had nothing to say other than "Wow, this is so cool!" about everything at the wedding itself. I was a bit scared when the mother of the bride said she thought she was the bride herself.

I love Jung, too. As far as I'm concerned, she's justified in her type A perfectionism. People are paying her ridiculous sums of money, and she needs to deliver. I don't find her crazy, either. I like her on the show and I think I'd like her as a person. She's detail oriented and has more energy than I will ever have. Her staff all seem to love her and in her rare moments when she got a little nuts she calmed down again pretty quickly. I loved her moments with her kids and husband.



I laughed like a hyena at that bride. She thought she was so unconventional! Such a rare gem in a drab world! She was a crashing bore. Her little whimpers of "I don't eat..." at the tasting had me rolling. What is she, seven? Her wedding dress, which probably cost a fortune, was a generic strapless ruched monstrosity for such a unique treasure as herself, and didn't even fit well. Clearly mama thought it was her show. I actually emitted a small scream when I saw her all tricked out in her silver gown and flashing diamonds. Whose wedding was it again? Sheesh.

I too remember Jung from Whose Wedding.. and I really like her. I totally agree that she needs to be a perfectionist in this line of work. If I had tons of money (and wasn't already married) I would want her to be my wedding planner. I wouldn't have a crazy over the top affair, but I feel like I could trust her to do a fantastic job for any occasion.

Last Friday's episode was the first one I saw. I wonder how much money was spent on that whole wedding and whether it was all mom or if the couple helped. The whole time I couldn't help thinking that this could all end in divorce. The bride's picky eating was extremely annoying. Jung seemed very patient with her but I would want to wring her neck.

The couple that had the birthday party had a really nice apartment for NY. I was really curious as to what they do for a living. They seem to have plenty of money to throw around for Jung to plan a wedding and a birthday party.

Speaking of which, it really doesn't bother me to see people having big, extravagent weddings. It's not my own persoal taste, but it's their money (or credit cards) and they can do whatever they want.

Hopefully this will be on for a while. I love getting an inside look at the wedding industry.

Just kind of half way watched the first episode last week. The birthday party did not interest me in the least. The bride (picky eater girl) acted like she was stoned most of the time. Just my opinion. LOL. Could not tolerate anyone being that picky about their food. Grow up!

I really enjoyed last night's episode. I thought the wedding on the "family farm" looked incredible (that girl must be loaded!) and liked all the Spanish touches. It all seemed really elegant and lovely, as opposed to last weeks affair where picky bride and her blinged out mom reminded me of The Real Housewives of NJ.

I also liked seeing Jung's fun side (who new it existed). The disco party looked like a blast and I loved the idea of hiring the drag queens to loosen up the guests.

I wish they had explained why Fete only had three weeks to plan this blowout or if that was a fake timeline for TV? And I'd really love to know what these things cost. I don't mind big blowouts, my college roommate now works as a caterer and these spectacles pay her rent. If you have the cash to spend, go for it (Just don't charge up your credit cards trying to impress people).

My personality would clash horribly with Jung's, but the woman is perfect for the job that she does. And she does do it perfectly.

I found it funny that the couple who wanted their tables to be so offbeat and different, wound up with your standard looking tablescape. White china and white flowers - wow, how unique and different! Except for the eyeball plates, which were a major turnoff. I couldn't decide if they were ugly and creepy, or just ugly. Jung said they were something like $200 a plate, right? I wonder how that works? Does she have to buy them? Does the couple have to buy them? Or do they rent and return to the vendor?

Hmm.. This wasn't on last night, and doesn't seem to be on the upcoming schedule. Did it get pulled from the air? Not that it was the greatest show ever, but I have a somewhat disturbing desire to watch everything wedding-related on tv.

It was present on my cable listings last night (after Say Yes to the Dress), but I didn't watch it, so I don't know if actually aired.

Does anyone know where I can find a picture of the eyeball plates?
