"Joe Millionaire Finale--My Crazy Prediction" |
I wasn't going to post this for fear of looking really stupid. But then I remembered--I'm used to looking stupid, so here goes...The show will end with "Cinderella's Wedding". A coach and four, fancy gowns, liveried retainers, the whole nine yards. It may not be a legal wedding, according to French law. They may call it a 'dress rehearsal' or a 'what-if fantasy' for Joe and his chosen. Maybe the bride will have a choice of legal wedding or dress rehearsal, who knows? Joe will wear a nice tux, the bride a beautiful gown. The losers will all be there (or maybe just the final 5?) to look green with jealousy. Paul will be the ringbearer. It would be such an over-the-top ending, how could Fox resist? I mean, this show needs a Fairy Tale ending! What do you think? And when would Joe let slip his little secret? Swami

This would fit with the story/pictures in the Globe, which do refer to a wedding that wasn't legal under French law. I remember from the episode beginning where Evan is sitting on a sofa in a sweater, and the way he starts talking, it sounds like he's about to spill the beans to his choice. So it appears that they will at least have the decency (ahem...I'm using that term very loosely here) to let him tell her in private instead of dropping the bomb in front of a crowd. Royalty, shmoyalty...EVIL rules!

5. "RE: Joe Millionaire Finale--My Crazy Prediction" |
You are absolutly right, a Cinderella wedding would NOT be legal by French laws. Every French wedding starts at city hall, legally binding agreement signed with witnesses in front of state's legal representative (usually mayor himself). Usually held in the early morning with minimal attendance, immediate family and close friends only. From there or after a break in which the couple switches to the formal wedding attire (traditionally brides still wear white in France, however orange blossoms, the floral symbol of virginity, is no longer the flower she carries and then displays in her home under glass on the mantel since Joan of Arc is believed to be the last unwed french virgin, *giggle*) and the wedding party parades to the local church, by carriage, by car or on foot. There a mass is conducted and attended by acquaintances, and anyone with a couple hours to spare. Bridesmaids in matching dresses and ugly dyed pumps to match are reserved for royal weddings. There is no demarcation between the families in the church or elsewhere, all just sit together. From there a gathering of "friends" of the couple (there you have the folks who are not close enough to have at reception, but yet don't want to leave completly out) share hors d'oeuvres and drinks. The focal point of the wedding album is the group picture. The photographer sets up bleachers to accomodate all who will be at the reception. This pic is taken before the seven course dinner, before anyone shows signs of imbibing. On to dinner. This consists of eating (very well I might add, as weddings are usually remembered as to what was served), drinking (same as eating except ten fold, bad wine is never forgiven), dancing (or something close to it), toasts (anyone can and will toast at any given moment), jokes (sexual innuendos are favored) and silly party games (such as the ladies' contest where the winner will blow up the balloon first, squeezing it between her thighs). The newlyweds vanish. In the Berry region, the guests then make sure all the liquor is finished so that there will be no unwarranted liquor charges on bill, and tailgate through the countryside looking to the whereabouts of the sleeping couple. The leading car will make a couple of stops where the couple is not sleeping but where there will be drinks waiting. Finally the bride and groom's honeymoon room will be crashed into, they will be woken up and made to eat an horrid mixture of chocolate and champagne, and drink along with the drunken road crew. What wedding would be complete without a hangover breakfast? Again the guests gather, tired and by now cynical. Officially the wedding is over, the couple's parents left to split the bill down the middle. However Sunday leaves guests on their own at mini parties to watch soccer and place bets on the duration of the wedding. So a traditional wedding would be a kick to watch, and the french love displaying the group pictures of the weddings they have attended, pointing at each guest in picture and exaggerating whatever they know, heard or suspect about them, so there wouldn't be a problem finding attendees.

>>since Joan of Arc is believed to be the last unwed french virgin, *giggle*)<<Oh that comment made my morning!!! *giggles along with Mellow* The French wedding sounds great, except the part about waking up the newlyweds. Of course maybe that's why we Americans & Canadians try to get the heck out of town on our wedding night! Swami

9. "Exactly when is the finale?" |
I read an article that said the finale is February 17th. And I also heard that the show was seven episodes.How is this going to work? Will he spend the entire hour next week (ep 6) with the girls, trying to make his choice? Will they come out with a necklace (or ring) at the every end of the show with the 2 girls sitting there and say "tune in next week to see who Evan picks, etc"? Then episode 7 starts with his pick, Sarah boo-hoos, a fake wedding, the revelation (whatever it is), love conquers all, etc. Do I just about have it?

10. "RE: Exactly when is the finale?" |
I want to see all the women (that have been cast aside) when they learn he is a fake millionaire. That is what I have been waiting to see. I hope they don't plan to only show us the reaction of the final choice and how she reacts. I want to see Heidi and the others when they find out the truth.

For what it's worth, the final episode's "working title" is the "Aftermass" or would "after MATH" be more a propos for the calculating lot?
