Oprah plays wedding crasher for upcoming show

Marriage is a SACRAMENT. Crashing a wedding for commercial purposes and self-promotion is just gross and tacky. And disrespectful the dignity of the occasion. I think she is losing touch. Contrast her interview with Anderson Cooper with Larry King's and you will see that here is a woman whose ego has grown so large that she cannot let anyone have the spot light in her presense. She loses the opportunity for her viewers to hear what her guests have to say on any topic because she interjects her own "expertise". She has said that she did not marry because she was afraid to lose herself (when interviewing Lance Armstrong's first wife). As usual, her shows say more about Oprah than anything else.

This show says that she will go out of her way for self promotion, even to Tulsa to steal attention from ordinary people on the most important day of their lives.
I am so disappointed in this side of Oprah. She is going to lose poeple over this...

To be accurate, Oprah didn't give them anything. She merely passed on whatever wares some advertiser gave her to give. Oprah's 4 sale.

You don't bank 2 billion by spending your own money.

Depends on the dishes. I mean I wouldn't exactly rush to say no to a set of hand painted Wedgewood. On the other hand if it were Corelle Livingware, it would be the bum's rush.

If you or I showed up at Oprah's private events uninvited, security would kick our asses out faster than you can say "Oprah's Favorite Things."

Lampbane is totally in the right here. I would have thrown Oprah's butt out too. A wedding crasher, no matter the person, is not there for a reason. Moreover, she is totally taking away from the couple (and bride's) special day. She doesn't belong there. Totally inappropriate and yet another reason proving she is nothing short of the spawn of the devil.

I think she made their wedding one that everyone will remember - not just the bride and groom. I agree with Campbell in that Oprah did not steal the spotlight because she only stayed a few minutes.

People, he never said that these people SHOULD have thrown Oprah out, or not signed the waiver, or asked for more money, or anything to that effect. He merely stated that if it were HIS wedding that he would have resented that she felt entitled to just waltz right in uninvited. I can perfectly understand that viewpoint.

Reading, for the win.

First of all, If Oprah was to come to a wedding, you will feel at awe. Just like you would about any other kind of stars that comes your way. Second, you don't know what the contract states it may have a 10-20% of total earning that she plans to give them for their future, and if the couples feels as though they don't what to have there wedding broadcast they don't have to sign the contract. If the couples don't mind why should you?

If she stayed for the entire time then she would have stole the show, but she was only there for a few minutes. The buzz would have died down soon after she left. Just making the wedding a bit more special, is all.

Please actually read the article before you get ready to pounce on Oprah.

Is Oprah even married to begin with? If not, it seems a bit hypocritical...
