I wish the gift from Chuck was another arcade cabinet. Miro's like "hey, I've seen this one before" and destroys it before he realizes what it is. Chuck goes to the outside, sneaks putting on the cuffs while Miro and Kip are shocked by what just happened. Chuck's like "Yeah, Trent and I felt bad.. so we had this special arcade made just for you.. it had like.. a thousand games on it.. but uh.. thanks man." Then Orange pops out of the cake, throws orange juice in Penelope's face, and then do the beatdown. I was expecting it'd be that, but it being full of tissue paper, etc, for Chuck to have to clean up was crafty on his part, he knew Miro would make him pick it up.

I hated it, easily the most bored I've been watching AEW.

Really should have done something enough for this to be called The Orange Wedding a la the Red Wedding on Thrones.
Some musicians playing a song....I don't know what, that theme song from The OC? I can't think of any songs about oranges.
Orange juice in the wine glasses. They cut the cake and it is orange. I don't know.
I knew OC ruining white clothing has been done but that wedding dress is right there!
Something!
I marked HARD for the Sinister Minister appearance.

Amusingly, on youtube, it has more views than anything else last night except for KENTA appearing. Some of it is that Miro and Orange are very popular, granted, but still. Now I was lead to believe Miro was a generic foreign heel & OC was a no-trick pony that audiences outside of the bingo halls wouldn’t care about. You’re telling me that’s NOT true and that the Old Man up North and the Kentucky Fried Loudmouth are out of touch to modern fan sensibilities? What?! Surely not.

Hated it. Smug (“kayfabing all others”, just f*** off with that), unfunny and really badly performed and shot (what exactly was the “ gift” that Miro destroyed? An empty box?) We never saw Miro get his leg clamped so it looked like he was just stuck to the spot with no explanation and the Orange Cassidy reveal was botched as well.
Legit one of the worst things I’ve seen in AEW and a horrible pay off to a months long angle. Really, really bad.

Was one of the highest rated segments of the entire show and didn't chase any viewers off either
So for as much as some might say it sucked, in terms of what AEW wanted it to do, it succeeded.

I’m not sure how the Orange Cassidy reveal was botched? I think the issue was it was too quick. You have to exaggerate these things for presentation, I didn't catch and was only aware after the fact. As for Cassidy, I can only think he might have meant he should have appeared sooner. The angle felt empty because this kind of thing really only works with a full crowd yelling and heel telling them to shut up, The dead space between chuck getting beat up would normally (possibly) been filled with Orange Cassidy chants. It was serviceable but had hiccups.

The more that I think about it, are we sure that was indeed James Mitchell as the minister, and not Eric Bischoff in elaborate makeup?

Legit one of the worst things I’ve seen in AEW and a horrible pay off to a months long angle. Really, really bad. Not going to begrudge you for your opinion, but I do think that it's worth mentioning that the whole thing with the gift was that Chuck brought it, so Miro assumed someone was going to be hiding in there to disrupt the wedding and destroyed it, but it ended up being a bunch of trash, so Chuck had to clean it up...Chuck planned on this, and was able to chain Miro up while he was outside cleaning. I thought that part of it was actually pretty clever, personally.

From this I learned I don't want James Mitchell officiating my wedding as this is the second one where something bad has happened

From what I have watched of the wedding it did not look very eventful at all atleast in comparison to other wrestling weddings.

It was a bit more subdued than a typical wrestling wedding, but that felt right. Not just logistically because they couldn't do something big and with tons of people, but because Miro had clearly accounted for as many things as he could. They used it to have lots of self-aware moments and trope allusions with the usual ways these segments can go wrong, set up the twists to it in a really clever way, had some funny bits to help carry the segment along, and then the important piece to all of it was that someone went into the cake. Given nothing is going to happen to the on-screen relationship, it advanced the Best Friends feud and furthered the tensions between Miro and Kip. Can't think of much else it needed.

Pretty solid, as far as wrestling weddings go...but, the previous wedding featuring James Mitchell, between Rosemary & John E. Bravo, was better!

I got Father James Mitchell in AEW, and Kip Sabian looking like a snack in that suit. No complaints here.
