April 6, 2007: The Final Bell
As most of you know by now,
Wedding Bells was given the axe this past week. Which means yesterday's episode was the last and from what I've heard, the actors didn't even complete filming the season finale. So, more likely than not, this show will never make it to DVD. Which is a shame, considering how many loose ends we were left with last night.
For starters, we'll never know if that kiss between Annie and David would have amounted to anything more or if it was just a result of them getting too caught-up in the moment. I'd like to think they would have given their romance a second chance, as their chemistry was undeniable. If they had though, I'm sure it would have been a rocky road for them. Which could have translated to a lot of fun drama for us...but we'll never know.
We'll also never know if Russell would have been able to successfully start a franchise for the Wedding Palace in Vegas. Although, with all of that money Amanda was helping them rake in last night, they certainly would have had the funds to take a chance on expanding the business. Speaking of Amanda, I didn't mind watching her swindle a fifty thousand dollar retainer fee from Tricia (
Abigail Spencer), who somehow seemed deserving of the ploy, but I did feel bad for the unpretentious Allie (
Brooke Bloom). My stomach turned when Amanda insinuated that Allie's family should re-mortgage their home, in order to provide Allie with a grander wedding.
On a lighter note, it was fun watching Cedric and Ralph attend "Wedding Singer School." I think Billy Ray Popcorn (
Fred Willard) was the perfect teacher and it sure seemed like Cedric enjoyed the tutorial. Ralph was a little less enchanted with the session, but if I'm not mistaken, he did end up utilizing some of Billy Ray's advice to entertain wedding guests later in the show. There's nothing like a good head bob, wink and point to get a crowd rocking!
Then there was Chrissie (
Christina Moore), the "most beautiful girl in the world." At least, that's what Chrissie thought. So how funny was it that while she was stressing about being the "most beautiful bride ever," that fate would deal her with an allergic blow, giving her "
Mick Jagger lips" just in time for the ceremony? Ah, the sweet taste of karma.
Finally, I have to say the one story line I won't miss, will be the repeated references suggesting that Jane was not as attractive as Annie. Jane was beautiful and I never quite understood why they always had her playing second fiddle to Annie in the looks department.
Okay, so I guess that brings us to our end. I hope you all enjoyed watching the show, I know I did. I also want to thank everyone who joined me on this blog...it was a pleasure taking this ride with you!
