I would like to thank my family, friends and all those who watched my wedding on the March 5th episode of TLCs Four Weddings! Our wedding was everything I had dreamed of and more! David and I were able to incorporate our beautiful Jewish traditions and beliefs with our love of NYC nightlife into one of the most memorable nights ever! Being on Four Weddings was certainly an (interesting) experience that I cannot forget and I’m grateful for the opportunity that I had to share my wedding with so many. No, I didn’t win, and yes I feel that they made my wedding look as they needed to for reality tv, but for all of you that were there, or who watch it on tv… maybe you can weigh in???

1. I think you did a great job! All the interviews of you were great! You were always so positive and nice and likable. You stood out in a positive way compared to some of the other contestants. 2. The show itself was terrible, the producers should be ashamed of themselves! They didn’t even really show the weddings! The spent almost as much time on that woman’s eye as they did on your wedding. 3. I couldn’t believe some of those other weddings you had to go to! You clearly had the best wedding of the foursome and it is a shame that you were paired with two contestants who wouldn’t know class if it hit them in the head.
Two words: “Low rent”, of course, the whole pig on a spit was kinda classy. Not quite certain if it was food or one of the guests…
HILARIOUS!
are you kidding me? a haunted house??? like. what?
OK..I just watched a study in the power of middle-American mediocrity, fueled by obvious envy and (dare I say) religious intolerance. Ariana, you were not only the superior bride with the superior wedding, but you were far and away the most generous and gracious of the contestants.
Yes. Generous, gracious, and very articulate with spot on observations. It would have been nice if someone from TLC ha explained to the other brides why an orthodox Jewish wedding wouldn’t be on Friday or Saturday night.
Ari-you exuded poise, beauty, and taste!! Hands down you were the classiest bride in the bunch! I hope that the other girls and viewers en mass realize how intolerant and ignorant they came across with their comments about a religious ceremony and traditions that have brought joy and meaning to so many for so many generations. I guess they traded that sentiment in for their low-cut gowns!!
You should have won. Your wedding was AHMAZINGGGG!!!!!!! ♥
Couldn’t have said it any better…..the video people left out the some of the best part. It was a gorgeous wedding and Ariana was beautiful and so articulate on the show. She is our winner.
I just watched “Four Weddings.” Not only was it amazing because you’re awesome, but my parents were on it too!!!!
Ok, so I watched it last night when it re-aired. First, I thought you looked beautiful and it looks like you did an amazing job planning your wedding. Second, I thought you were the most poised of all of the brides (no offense to the others, it’s just I felt your comments were really nice and the most positive/complimentary of all). Third, I feel like you “lost points” because you had a traditional Jewish wedding, and I think that’s total BS – yes, Jewish weddings can have a somber tone at some points, but the overall message that is delivered is very deep, meaningful and beautiful and deserving of EXTRA points. Even though you didn’t win the show, I’m so happy for you because you looked like you had the best time and it was the happiest day of your life and you are so in love with your husband, and that’s all that matters!
As someone who shared this “experience” with you, I can honestly say that TLC did not give a realistic view of either of our weddings. I thought your wedding was rich on tradition and your venue was phenomenal! Unfortunately, I had to leave early due to my eye mishap but I was still able to walk away from your wedding with a true sense of the love both you and David share for one another, your families and friends. Kudos to you for hosting a fabulous event and I wish you a lifetime of happiness together!
Ariana! I know you’re wedding must have been beautiful… too bad TLC didn’t show more of it like how they’ve showed everyone else’s. I only hope they do better with my episode this Friday. eek. very nervous….
It was very obvious to me that some of the other brides were ignorant and very jealous of your classy wedding. I thought you did a great job!!!
