The worst thing about television is there is simply too much of it. It won't be long before each one of us has a TV channel designed just for us. Lord, let it stop and soon. Unfortunately this Bridal Network has found some funding and will grace us with its presence. Lord, let it stop and soon.

We all know brides love to tell their stories and they currently do on many TV programs. They complain about their dresses; how the seamstress used the wrong color thread to do a hem, purple on a white dress is not appealing at all. And then there is the concern about finding the right sash for the event. Do you use the one you beat Miss America over the head to get or the K-mart blue light special sash you managed to wrestle from the pre-teen who wanted it because he was beginning to come out of the closet.

There are always the tales of woe regarding the caterer. Do you want fish, that no one will eat because the salmon fillets still has gills on it, or chicken, that no one will eat because it's dry and stringy. Maybe there is an issue with the cake. All the caterer has left for the top of the cake is 2 grooms together instead of a bride and groom figurine. Gay marriages became illegal in your state so he has a box of 500 groom and groom cake toppers.

As if that weren't enough, we always have the privilege of hearing about ceremony its self. Woe betides anyone who happens to step on the bride's train. A murder might take place but that's just a bonus for the guests because they still have the main event, the wedding.

Perhaps the only church available is a synagogue and no one is Jewish, that's always good for a few laughs (insert your own joke here). The Rabbi doesn't understand anything of your catholic ceremony and as for you the yamakah will just ruin your hair. Oh your pretty, prefect locks will be ruined and you even paid extra to have the stylist come to your home the morning of the wedding for touch-ups.

No, the last thing that needs to be inflicted upon an unsuspecting and undeserving home viewing audience is a bridal network. A network like this is certainly for a unique and very select audience. Those 5 people however are just not enough to sustain an entire network.

No, there are only so many things you can have shows about. Most are outlined here and are not deserving of a network of their own. Keep the bridal stuff where it belongs - in slick magazines that reside at your local retailer.

A bridal network is coming to TV unless the people behind it come to their senses and soon. Lord, let it stop and soon.
