Tina and Tarz on the Cell Phone Blowout
Tina, Tarz, and their parents share their reactions to the wedding day drama.
May 6Can you describe the proposal?
TINA: Sure, we could describe the proposal if there actually was one! It’s hard to surprise someone with a proposal when you figure out you’re getting married a couple weeks after your first date! Seriously, the very first time we went to meet Tarz’s parents, he called them and said something like, “Hey Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop, I’m coming over with that girl, Tina, who I told you about the other day-and by the way, she will be your daughter-in-law. So, um, hope you like her!”
TARZ: Yeah, it would have been tough to surprise Tina with a ring because she’s so incredibly Type-A. If she didn’t choose every little stone, color, angle of each prong, etc, it would be the beginning of the end. We actually did have sort of a proposal, but it was more like an SNL parody skit. Tina and I really love to laugh together, and since she already knew it was coming (and knew exactly what the ring she had designed looked like) we acted out the cheesiest most cliché ways to propose, such as dropping it in a glass of champagne, or putting it in a piece of cake. Then I would present it to her, and she would fake complete surprise!
TINA: Yeah, we were doing silly proposal skits and just dying laughing that whole night. We may not have a lot of baby-making action in our lives, but we have some serious best-friend fun together! It was as perfect as a fake non-proposal can be!
Tina, to tell Tarz that you hate him at the wedding party was total BS. Your dad feeling that Tarz should get off a phone call that is a business or conference call, the minute he wants Tarz is crazy!
BORING BORING BORING show. Watched tops five minutes - BORING BORING BORING.
I'm glad (hope) you're relationship is in a good place today. Tina, you keep saying it's your Dad's fault for your cell phone outburst, but really your reactions are your responsibility. Your dad was expressing concern that this might not be the right match for you (I don't think he's alone). Sure the timing sucked, but no matter what someone else says or does, it is still your choice to react. I've had to learn that lesson myself. I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother and I hope for you both to have a happy, healthy marriage.
I have myself pleasantly surprised by this show! The two of you are absolutely delightful! I'm anxious to follow you on your quite unique journey! God bless & best wishes! I've no doubt it's going to be an unpredictable ride!
I want to believe Tina and David (well Tarz- or Tarzina) are happier now than on their wedding day. I can understand how tough it must have felt for Tina not to have her mother at her wedding, bless her heart. Watching the show back, I am sure the couples who take part on that show can look back at their journey and learn from it. I am watching this show from the United Kingdom until the last episode and I pray each couple grow together and learn to love each other for an eternity.
Ok...well....uhhh...I want to say something nice...but I don't know what....but here goes.....Mr. Bravo Boss, would you make this show short please....and the next time you feature married people, show them in their 30th year? Nothing good happens the first year of marriage, men are faithful, women are docile. Now fast forward to the big 3 0 and there are plenty of hi jinks to keep us satisfied as viewers. Things like....the husband has been hiding money and keeping secret investments, sleeping with the neighbor or co worker, surfing internet porn....and the wives are charging major amounts on secret charge cards, sleeping with the neighbor or co worker and surfing internet shopping sites....I won't be watching the show, because it looks way too scripted and I already dislike all of them....some parts had me channel surfing....and I home channel shopped about $85. Not good...
Also.....the part about the sister in law who said none of her pictures were in the brides photo album is so classic of what happens when a man gets married...his entire family will be slighted...will get worse and worse...especially his sisters....I have seen it in my circle....women need to do a better job with their daughters when it comes to this subject...their moms were daughter in laws, and many are already mother in laws when their daughter marries...I have dropped beads of wisdom to many bride to be about how they should include her future husbands family...they look like a deer caught in headlights because they were slighting their future in laws already...so clearly, these two will never have much of any relationship...that picture thing is a huge deal...the bride seemed very catty to me...
I felt the embarresssment and tension in the room when she YELLED out she hated him REALLY, NOT GOING TO LAST get over yourself TINA..
I found a show worse than RHW OF ATLANTA! I didn't think it could be done. Is this the only blog for it? I took it off my queue--that bridezilla did it for me--you have to be better looking than she is to be that bossy--her girlfriends were cuter at any weight! If she thinks the First Lady is a style icon, well...that says a lot. Also--the farting fiance--yick. Gay couple--everyone knows one, no big woo.
@Star1234 I agree! I really tried to give this show a chance, but just couldn't bear it. When you give your fiancé a different name, you're giving him a new identity. I'm not talking about nicknames of endearment. That's fine. I'm talking about "you're no longer David. You're 'Tarzu' now." She was just too fake. The other thing that was ridiculous was when she was in bed with him with full makeup and hair extensions and he asked her to remove her makeup and she said not until after we're married. Then in the clip immediately following that, he said in his interview that he loves the Tina with no makeup or glitter or anything implying that he had already seen her without it before. Stupid! btw bravo it's weird for me to see this people in a staged pillow talk scene. Totally awkward. Ditch this show and stick to what you do well please. Thanks.
I too was shock by the way you acted over a phone case,you disrespected your self and your husband and family I wish you well.
Youre an obnoxious drama queen. Run Tarz run!!!!
the comment about the phone was totally inappropriate.i sure hhope you apologized to all the children and told them that is was an accident that you should've said that and the same for both sides parents. I was shocked when I saw it. I mean really.it was a phone..they make them every day!
