I&#8217;m tired of being sick already.  Anyway, since I was at home by myself with nothing to do, I&#8217;d been watching TV.  I was a total &#8220;bed&#8221; potato.  I watched several episodes of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wetv.com\/platinum-weddings\/\" >Platinum Weddings<\/a> on WEtv and TLC&#8217;s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kleinfeldbridal.com\/index.cfm?pid=Say-Yes-To-The-Dress\" >Say Yes to the Dress<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d heard of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kleinfeldbridal.com\/index.cfm?pid=Say-Yes-To-The-Dress\" >Say Yes to the Dress<\/a> before, but I&#8217;d never seen or heard of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wetv.com\/platinum-weddings\/\" >Platinum Weddings<\/a>.  The show is like My Super Sweet 16 for brides.  These are the most lavish and extravagant weddings.  They&#8217;re just out of this world.  It&#8217;s fun to watch, but it makes you wonder what these people do for a living to afford spending so much money on an event that only lasts a few hours.  With divorce rates being so high, is it wise to go into debt for a wedding?  I mean, you don&#8217;t want to be paying for your wedding long after you&#8217;re divorced.  LOL.  Unless, these people just have so much money that $1M for a wedding is just chump change and they just have it laying around so they don&#8217;t have to borrow it.  The whole wedding industry sure didn&#8217;t seem to be in a recession from what I watched on TV today.<\/p>\n<p>Since we&#8217;re now watching a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kleinfeldbridal.com\/index.cfm?pid=Say-Yes-To-The-Dress\" >Say Yes to the Dress<\/a> marathon, Brian was like &#8220;How many dresses did you try on?&#8221;  I actually tried on several dresses, but I ended up choosing the first one that I tried on.  Here are some of the dresses, I tried on.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/270753231\/\"  title=\"wg08 by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/97\/270753231_a5fc55307b.jpg\" height=\"350\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"wg08\" \/><\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/270750744\/\"  title=\"wg05 by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/79\/270750744_ac9204d5e1.jpg\" height=\"350\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"wg05\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/270750743\/\"  title=\"wg04 by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/85\/270750743_059f900ba6.jpg\" height=\"350\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"wg04\" \/><\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/270750733\/\"  title=\"wg01 by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/100\/270750733_18d8398845.jpg\" height=\"350\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"wg01\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/270750731\/\"  title=\"wg02 by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/108\/270750731_4b798cc6d6.jpg\" height=\"350\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"wg02\" \/><\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/270753234\/\"  title=\"cgtrain by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/92\/270753234_a87571687b.jpg\" height=\"350\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"cgtrain\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Watching all those bridal and wedding shows on TV today made me relive memories of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brubakers.us\/wedding\/\" >our wedding<\/a>.
