DIANNE Butler reviews your evening television for Thursday.

MICHELLE'S dress cost eight grand. Wendy's was $20.

"Twenty dollars can just get you a pizza," says Fiona, a plainly ridiculous statement. You can get two with three bucks change at the place around the corner from my house. As long as it's a Monday or a Wednesday. So clearly a $20 wedding dress is absolutely do-able.

I think this episode of Four Weddings is the first I've seen where they don't all hug at the honeymoon envelope opening at the end.

Yes, it's ugly. And not good ugly. It had a Lord of the Flies undertow to it, and I think I can speak for everyone when I say if there's any Lord of the anything tone we're after here, it's Rings.

I felt as if we were in our usual safe territory for a while there when Fiona announced she and Scott her "boys' boy" boyfriend planned to include his favourite toy in the ceremony.

It's the short robot from Star Wars. Scott wanted it going down the aisle.

And Fiona wanted her poodle, with fairy wings somehow attached to its body. Not glued obviously. Elastic?

I don't know, there were still some details to be ironed out, they were yet to have the dog versus robot debate when we moved on to Michelle, who, unlike Scott, is a Girlie Girl.

This is Michelle of the eight grand dress. It's a Steven Khalil dress, which will mean something to you or it won't.

She's 18, and she's been with Andrew since she was 16. They're having a traditional wedding, which is code for Kardashian.

She's worried about her big day, naturally, but more worried about Emma, who's also having a big-budget reception with ostrich feather decorations. But Emma has problems of her own. She's doing a Samoan dance instead of a bridal waltz: "I'm crapping myself because I haven't learnt it yet."
