When Foxy and I were still living in our little apartment, we had Comcast for cable and internet for the first year or so. For those of you who know about Comcast, I should be hearing one big, collective sigh from you all.

OK then. Now for those of you who don’t know Comcast? They suck monkey balls, in both the cost and customer-service departments. See, when our one-year “promo” price of $99 per month for internet and cable expired, it was supposed to jump aaaaall the way up to about $160 per month for the two. Dumb.

So we decided to bite the bullet and get rid of cable, hoping to save some money. Wouldn’t you know that to get rid of cable and just keep internet still would have made our bill go up to about $106 per month? I mean…really?! Drop a service and pay more? Hell to the no.

We ended up finding a decent compromise; there’s a company called Clear that provides internet for just the cost of the modem and then a $25 monthly fee, give or take a few bucks. We got rid of Comcast altogether and just stuck with the (slooow) internet from Clear—we figured the combination of a digital antenna, Netflix, and HuluPlus would be more than enough for our viewing pleasure.

It was a rough week or so after we got rid of cable…I was definitely used to all the channels and silly shows at my disposal 24/7. Then I got over it and didn’t miss it all that much. Except for the wedding shows. I totally missed my wedding shows.

Long story short, our new house is Fios compatible and it would only cost us $89 per month for both internet and cable for up to two years. After that? It only goes up by $10 per month. Sold.

So now after a year plus sans cable and with really slow, crappy internet, we’re back in the technology loop. Fios was installed two days ago, and I’m already in heaven.

First up:

Four Weddings via TLC

Now before you go hatin’ on the show like a lot of people do, let me explain. I totally dig this show not because of the judging and bitchiness, but because of the different ideas and variety of each of the weddings. I love seeing different weddings on different budgets and how they do their own take on each of the wedding “traditions.” If anything, it’s helped reinforce the idea that it seriously doesn’t matter what other people think of my future wedding—it will be what Foxy and I want, we’re happy with that, and it’s OK if other people don’t like it. So there.

Next…

Say Yes to the Dress via TLC

I think you’re silly if you don’t like this show. Even Foxy watches it with me from time to time. Total win!

Of course we can’t forget…

Bridezillas via WETV

Yes, it’s true. I kind of have a weak spot for this show. It’s like Real Housewives or My Super Sweet 16…most of the stuff on this show is just too outrageous to believe. Hence why I can’t avert my eyes no matter how hard I try. And let’s be real…the best part of Bridezillas is the commentator. She’s seriously stepped up her game lately, has me cracking up at her little snips, and I lurve it.

By the by, have you guys heard of these two shows?

My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding via TLC

Craziness. Absolute, addictive craziness.

Did I mention we also have DVR now? It’s magical.

Do you have a (not so) secret love for wedding shows? Which ones?
