It is here that Heidi breaks the news to Stephanie that she has chosen Holly as her maid of honor, since "she's been my sister for my whole life and stuff." Exactly what are you saying, that she didn't approach you on the playground in second grade and ask you to be her blood relative? Weird. Stephanie is miffed to say the least, and if she starts spouting some shit about loyalty to Heidi like a typical Pratt would, I will absolutely barf on my MTV.com.

"And she kind of promised me she wouldn't wear a fur vest, so........."


Elsewhere in town, Spencer is having lunch with Darlene, outrageously appropriate and reasonable mother of the bride, who rests her chin on her fist and stares sternly at Spencer as he apologizes for being out of line with her. First with LC, now with Darlene... he's like an alcoholic going through a 12-step program and making amends with the people he's hurt. Except instead of alcohol, he's been addicted to sucking souls and then shitting them out of his life like a bad case of diarrhea.

"Cleanup on Aisle Spencer!"


She's a little wary of his sudden change, but he assures her it's just because he's grown up very fast. 18 years of maturity in two weeks, to be exact. He says that he realizes he's not 22 anymore. No, now he's 25 and a real man and he knows better. He's making the effort not to be sleazy simply "because that's what I've been doing my whole life." I couldn't have put it better myself. Not saying I believe him, though.

"I put a fresh layer of varnish on my face, just for you."


Spencer asks her for her blessing, to which Darlene is at first silent, then begins to nod, then looks in several different directions before saying, "I give..." (swallow) "...you my... blessing." Boy that's harder to swallow than a horse pill full of jizz, isn't it Darlene?

Just let it come naturally.


At the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, Heidi is having her Princess Shower. It's kind of like a Golden Shower except you are sprayed with actual liquefied gold. Some extras hired to look like Heidi's friends mill about and stare at a bucket of champagne, as Blahdrina remarks, "You're GLOWING!"

"Yeah, I've been drunk for like five years."


For God's sake, Blah, she's not pregnant, she's marrying the ruler of the underworld. Blah and Stephanie talk about how rude it is that Holly, primary attendant to the Queen-to-be, is not even at the shower. How f-ing dare she?! Does she have her own life or something? Steph looks pretty satisfied at the maid of honor's utter failure.

"That's because she's locked in the trunk of my Jetta."


Before long, however, Holly bounces in looking like Denise Austin on safari and apologizes for her tardiness. Her Highness commands that the most expensive bottle of champagne be drunk, and finally the games begin... the games being questions about how well people know Heidi. Couldn't this party be held on Facebook? Stephanie correctly guesses that as for children, Heidi wants four. Her mother agrees, elaborating that she wants all boys. UGH. That is absolutely the LAST thing this weary world needs. Can you imagine four mini-pubestaches running around L.A.? Heidi confirms this, laughing that she wants to be "the queen of the throne, I don't want any little girls coming up and riding with me!" Wow. It astounds me that her jealousy over all other females somehow outweighs her desire to play dress-up. You'd think she'd want a bunch of little princesses to treat like Barbie dolls, but I guess that's why she built herself this way.

I hope they have four little hermaphrodites.


The girls laugh about how Kristen Cavallari introduced Spencer and Heidi (evil does beget evil) and Heidi quickly moves on to asking for presents, which she describes as "honeymoonalicious." Stephanie gripes to Blahdrina about how crappy of a maid of honor Holly is because she's not writing down who brought which gifts (cut to a shot of Holly boozin' it up with one glass of champagne), but I honestly can't get through this scene after I see this.

For once, imagination, I beg of you: CEASE!

You had me at "Swiffer Ballroom Blitz."

LNNC92:

You will be missed OSnapp! I have enjoyed your recaps, but hope you are on to bigger & better things!

Yanksfan24:

Good for Lauren...go live your life, girl!

Heidi and Spencer are ridiculous. I wish I had a snarkier comment but I'll leave that up to the recappers. And yes, I will be watching next season (sigh)

O.Snapp, thanks so much for the laughs...good luck to you.

kmh5125:

thanks o. snapp, for recapping this every week so i didn't have to watch it.

i was always on team kristin. i like that she realizes she's only on the show to bring drama and doesn't want to make friends. is it bad that i somehow think she's above all this petty nonsense that happens on this show?

maybeimamazed02:

We'll miss you, O. Snapp!

kmh5125, you are not the only one on Team Kristin. I always liked Lauren, but Kristin's snarkiness rocks. And she will definitely bring the drama. I'm not ashamed to say that I'll still be watching because of Kristin.

kissmymanolos:

Nooo Osnapp, you cannot leave.:( More seasons are coming!

jozeyg:

I love lauren too....but next season looks awesome! Kristin knows how to bring the drama. I love how she said in the previews..'you're messing with the wrong girl!' Oh please someone mess with her......i would looove to see what she would do to them. watch your backs audrina and jayde.

welcome back kristen cavallari. =)

flodence:

Thanks for a Great season O snapp. I dont even bother to watch the show anymore (we are way behind)- I just read the recaps. Good luck.

AnneM:

Was I the only one who heard the scary music from The Omen when Heidi was marching down the aisle toward her vile excuse for a human being Spencer?

I thought it was appropriate. Must just be in the soundtrack of my mind.

Great recap.

thatswhatshesaid:

OH NO! You're leaving us O.Snapp?! I was HOPING you meant you were only leaving us for the season, but would be back next season. :( I will truly miss your recaps! Next season is going to be AWESOME too! I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. You are very talented and I thoroughly enjoyed reading your recaps. Take care!

oranges:

I loved your recaps this season O.Snapp. Please reconsider coming back for the next one!

oranges:

And O.Snapp even rhymes w/ recap. Come on!

georgiababe:

I have to echo the sentiments of my fellow posters and say thanks for the excellent recaps! I don't plan to watch next season (I cannot stand Kristen Cavallari) but I will probably read the recaps and I will miss you!

Also, am I the only one who thought that Spencer was in the right at the rehearsal dinner? I mean, I love Holly, but I also would have been furious if my sister was throwing food at my rehearsal dinner and making a drunken, rather embarassing speech.

KrispyDixie:

You will be missed O. Snapp! this was hands down the BEST RECAP of the year! I could not stop laughing the whole way through (awkward for the people in my office, but whatevs!)

Thanks and much love!

First of all, I was seriously dying of laughter at the Charlie sleeping with his eyes open comments. Hilarious! I was surprised at myself while watching this episode. First of all, I thought Charlie's comment about apologizing to LC was pretty mature coming from one of Spencer's friends. I am embarrassed to admit I teared up at Stephanies speech! I also teared up when LC came into the bridal room. I am also shocked to say that I sort of believe Spencer might really want to settle down..at least he FINALLY admitted to the sex tape rumors, he's been denying that for a few seasons now. I think that's a big step. I know I teared up when LC came into the bridal room, but I would have been proud of her if she didn't go to the wedding. Spencer publicly humiliated her! She was right that heidi only wanted her there to validate heidi's decision...at least she didn't go to the reception, how come we didn't get to see the reception?
Also, why did Lauren and Lo move out? Didn't Lauren own the house?
