The Kim K thing
I don't remember which show it was but someone was talking about how she is young and got caught up in the whole wedding thing. I was so annoyed. You don't get to pull the young, naive bride thing when you are 31. You certainly don't get to pull it when it is your second ridiculous marriage. /gavel

Eh, I get it to a degree.
She wants to be in love, she wants to be married, she wants to have children. She meets this guy who she thinks can give her all that. And sometimes you want something so bad, it's like you can will it into existence, you know? People call off engagements all the time because they realize that the relationship isn't right for marriage.
So there she is, the whole world knows about her wedding, she's got millions of dollars tied up in it (going out and coming in), and she's thinking, "This is a bad idea...." but she's nervous to call it off. Because maybe it really is just the stress of wedding planning that's making it seem like that. Right? Because she wants it so bad, she can make excuses for her feelings, and will them away.
I am not saying that it was smart, or that at 31 years old she shouldn't have been strong enough to call it off before the actual wedding, I'm just saying that I understand HOW it could have happened, and I feel bad for the position she is in now.
Young? 31 ain't exactly a tween.
I say the whole thing is a scam and shame and marketing tool.
And that one lasted 4 years!
I try to block these kinds of idiots out of my consciousness, but every now and then I end up reading usweekly.com and regretting it.
Eh, the divorce was planned along with the wedding details. I bet she's got the next 10 years of dating, pregnancy scares, engagements, weddings, babies, divorces, and fake reconciliations in a business plan somewhere. I mean, that's what pays the bills - her tabloid life. The minute she stops doing outrageous things is the minute she becomes irrelevant (hence the "maybe they'll make up" faux-drama playing itself out right now).
And I still think this Kris guy was paid for his involvement.
Agreed. This happened to me my first marriage. It was a very inexpensive wedding however
--but 6 months later I finally realized I could not make it work. So I guess I made it longer than 72 days. But I see how it can happen. Sure it could be a money maker--but to me she's a girl who loves being in love and made a big mistake. Plus how bad would it suck to have millions judging her every move.
I have a hard time feeling bad for her having millions judging her. She's the one that put herself in the situation to be judged and clearly loves publicity of any kind.
I have a hard time with anyone who whines about how they thought they'd be married by 30. I can't imagine that being the sole focus of my life.
I don't necessarily feel bad that she's being judged because I totally agree that she could have avoided that particular aspect of her life by not broadcasting her life.
As for the other, well, I think you're being a little short sighted. People have all kinds of dreams; just because you can't relate to them doesn't mean they're not legitimate dreams. Clearly she wants to have a husband and a family. In the same way, many people want to have a lot of money, or a high powered career, or the ability to travel at will. We all want things for our lives, some people just want different things.
My only point is, I can see how this happened, and I don't particularly judge her for it, or think it was all made up.
