The model poses were cringe. Why couldn't she just be a happy bride in her pictures. I looked and looked for a picture of her smiling in her wedding dress...

Patrick Schwarzenegger's wife. I am sure I spelled that wrong, sorry. This really should have been about him. He made the choices.

I'm East Asian and to me he looks normal Most East Asian men are slim, youthful and don't go out of their way to look like rustic savages.

There are other weirder choices. Like more than a dozen bridesmaids in pale yellow muumuus. Were a lot of them pregnant?

The groom was photographed with his shirt off waiting for the stylist to bring it. Lol. What a staged shot.

The bride clearly did not want to stop buying bridal white ensembles. She had different white dresses for the rehearsal dinner, Western Night, ceremony, and reception.

No picture of dad Schwarzenegger. Hmm. Missing from coverage like Prince Andrew at Beatrice's wedding.

I liked the bride's actual wedding dress but there was no color photo of her wearing it where she looked in love with her groom. Just the typical model stare.


Arnold was there:



PP. OMG. Totally missed that. He looks like Kenny Rogers or some other totally washed up old country dude.

Anyone have an idea what the compensation would be for brand placement like this?

What really stood out to me was that the wedding planner said Patrick was the one who helped her with all the details, yet somehow Vogue had Abby narrating the article/photos. Shouldn't it have been Patrick, if he's the one who did all the planning?

No, I agree. With that much money, everything should have been embossed, not printed.

The invitations look fine. They don’t stick out to me.

These two have been together for an eternity but somehow it feels like they got engaged a week ago.

They were fine with it, so maybe don't judge?

If I could redo some things from my wedding, I would. Not everything turned out perfect, and that's OK.

For this specific wedding, practically nothing corresponds to my taste, but I'm not the bride and groom, so I don't get a say.

How much did Minted pay them for these constant mentions? Just bizarre.

https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/patrick-schwarzenegger-and-abby-champion-wedding

The paper goods stand out as so cheap and amateur next to everything else. And I say this as someone who uses Minted for our holiday cards.
