I think one of the first connections I saw between the TV show and the reading would be the reference to princesses or royalty. In the reading it talks about how everybody started wearing white gowns AFTER Queen Victoria’s wedding. It shows that even back then, every woman wanted to look like royalty. This compares to the TV show because a ton of the women were talking about how they wanted to look like Princess Diana or Grace Kelley, because they wanted to look like royalty.
Another connection I saw was how much department stores were gaining from women wanting to look like royalty and spending a ton of money on their wedding dresses. I saw this in the reading when it talked about how much retailers were making off these brides by advertising the level of importance of having the perfect wedding. I saw this in the TV show when I saw how high the women’s budgets were and how they were willing to push the budget a little to get that “perfect” gown.
