What makes for a great wedding guest? They show up on time? They wear age and weather appropriate attire? They don't start fistfights at the pasta or fondue bar? They understand their alcohol limit? They respect other guest’s dance space? Now do the circumstances differ when the wedding in for a reality star?
As the world knows, one of the Kardashian sisters got married this weekend. Billed as the celebrity wedding of the year (by the Kardashians themselves), it reportedly cost a few million dollars. How much of that did the couple actually pay for themselves? None. All of the vendors involved generously offered their services gratis in return for maximum media coverage. So that diamond headgear the bride sported, for example, was on loan. The over the top wedding party gowns? All a gift from Vera Wang. In fact the New York Post reports the newlyweds will walk away from their blessed day with an additional $17.5 million dollars in their pockets, courtesy of the exclusive rights brokered by her manager/mother, the E! Network and various other third parties.
I was surprised to see that Lindsay Lohan, her mother Dina, and younger sister were all invited to the occasion. Perhaps Kris and Dina (the mothers) participated in some sort of how-to-represent-your-child conference together in the Catskills when the girls were kids? But then I remembered just how eager Lindsay is to attend any event where she can score herself some attention. Remember, this is a celebration of someone else's day. But she instead not only insisted on wearing a plunging white see through gown that put her goods on display, got a fresh round of lip injections, and then called a photo agency and secured "exclusive rights" to her getting ready photos. So she tried to out-dress the bride and then sold pictures of herself so she would be included in this week's extensive media coverage. Well played? Or a narcissistic attempt to steal some of the bride's thunder?
Did I also mention she apparently kept ordering rounds of shots? Classy.
