A super duper secret wedding: Lo Que La Vida Me Robo Episode 101 Wed. April 2.2014
Ohemcheese!It's a wedding, a super duper wedding! I'm glad to finally get an episode that's happy and peppy, we need the pep! I got off late from work and missed the first few minutes but here's what I did see:
Amalia and Angelic surprise Esmeralda with a wedding and an awful wedding gown, if someone tried to put me in that I'd be all like "naw homie, that's not happening" but that's just me, Esmeralda on the other hand LOVED the gown and was thrilled to have a last minute wedding, also something I would not be cool with, but mostly because I want an army of midgets at my wedding and that takes a lot of planning.
Elsewhere Dimitrio informs his lovely bride that they are going to a wedding, these two are super cute together! She asks him if it's one of his new buddies that's getting hitched and he replies that yes, in fact this guy is his BFFF (best friend forever forever), he leaves in order to allow her to get dressed and all I can think is "god damn he looks good", like really good, like I'd have babies with him good, ah Dimi, you've come such a long way * sniff,sniff,someone get me some tissues!*
Dimitrio should of never left Josefina alone because Graciela comes in as Fina is trying to pick out an outfit and demands to know where her dress is and I'm all like "the hell?", it seems that Graciela has continued to use her daughter in law as the help and expected her to iron a dress for her Graceless because she has a date with the dark haired slime also known as Sandro. Josefina explains that she has a wedding to go to and is told by Graciela that if she goes to the wedding Dimitrio will be mocked by the other people there for having an ugly wife! This kills Josefina's spirit and makes me want to stab Graciela in the eye-heck in both eyes! Bruja!
In the garden Dimitrio finds Manuela, the actual maid of the Mendoza household and asks her how much his mom pays her, "not very much' she answers and he pounces, "I'll pay you more from now on" he says and when he sees that she's game he throws in this nice bit "but you have to make sure that my wife does none of the household work", Manuela is not a happy camper but agrees to the new arrangement, and my love for Dimitrio grows.
He goes to get Josefina because they are running late and finds her in bed, she claims to have tummy issues and says she will have to skip the wedding but Dim tells her that he will stay home with her and call a doctor, she finally manages to get him to leave and promises to join him later if she starts to feel better, he agrees to this and also tells her that he will send Manuela over with some food and tea. i like you Dim, I like you a lot!
Later in the morning carlota goes to check on Fina and she figures out that graciela is the real reason fina stayed home, Josefina tells her that she is not a beautiful woman and that Dimitrio is so handsome, and looked like a prince in his uniform, how could she ever compare to that? carlota tells her not to worry, everyone calls her fat but she does not sit at home and hide, she even offers to help her get ready. Josefina agrees to this and Carlota helpes her find a dress to wear....Gracielas pink dress! Fina is afraid of what Graciela might do if she catches her wearing her dress but Carlota is in fairy godmother territory and goes to work on Fina's dress, she tells her there's nothing she can't do with needles and thread! You go Carlota!
Adolfo gets a visit form Virginia who looks really nice in yellow, he tells her how sorry he is about her fathers death- he starts to tear up and Virgina tells him that he is such a nice guy! Ha, if only she knew...she gets him to agree to go to the wedding with her. Have you guys noticed that Adolfo has really nice long eyelashes? This is the first time I've noticed that.
Pedro "no nuts" Medina and EZ are having a meeting, Medina is sure that the captin no longer trusts him and he speculates that Jose Luis got in his ear, not that it matters, there's no real proof against him and with the letter gone it's Alejandro's word against his, after all Maria is dead and she can't testify against him! EZ reminds him that Padre anselmo might have read the letter and that the word of a priest carries a lot of weight, Pedro looks like somebody kicked him in his special place.
At a local restaurant Graciela and Sandro do lunch, he calls her out on being broke and she tells him those are just nasty rumors! He says he got his information from a good source- Josefinas brother spilled the beans, she tells him that Tomas is wrong, Fina probably lied to him in order to try and get her money back. And then she just gets downright nasty and calls Josefina ugly and my god I hope her waiter spit in her food! Oh and Sandro gets a call from Fsbiola warning him about Alejandro's attorney running a background check on him.
Refugio gets an early morning visit from Jose Luis-he was expecting him later in the day to watch a game, drink some beers and have some munchies, he's wondering why Jose Luis is there, it's way too early to hit the booze-umm no Refugio, it is never too early, always remember, it's five pm somewhere! Jose Luis tells him they are going to a wedding and to go get himself pretty, Refugio does and does not realize its his wedding until he sees Esmeralda walking towards him in a wedding dress, the whole scene was awesome, especially Jose Luis telling Refugio to close his eyes and concentrate and pray! Refugio does and asks god for the chance to one day marry Esmeralda *sniff*
The ceremony comes to an end and everyone parties! I loved how Angelica sat her mom in the table meant for Esmeralda's friends, the look on Amalias face was priceless! there was also a fight because Refugio punched a punk for making some not so nice comments about wanting to go to bed with his new bride, especially after seeing her dance half naked. Jerk.
Montse and Ale are also at the wedding and all I could think about was that AB messed with the wrong person in the hair department cause duuuuuuude, her hair was bad and her dress? She looked like a cupcake (Ane Paula would envy her!), all she did was stare at Jose Luis and Angelica, it was creepy. Oh and Nadia is pregnant and wants an abortion. I think Nadia wins our award for "piss poor planning", she had to know this could happen right? Someone did tell her how the whole sex thing works, right? RIGHT?
Anyhoo, join us tomorrow when stuff and other stuff is sure to happen!

Eli,
Just read the recap. Thanks so much. You had me laughing all the way through. And you're right, it was about time we had a happier episode.
ITA, I am loving Dimi right now. And he did look good in his uniform. I loved the scenes between Fina and Dimi. They have really good chemistry. Too bad Gracie had to ruin everything. I can't stand her! Her anvil can't come soon enough.
The wedding was a nice and refreshing change. It was nice to see everyone dressed up and happy for a change. Speaking of dressed up, who the hell dressed AB and did her hair for these scenes? Seriously? Her hair looked like a birds nest. And that dress looked like they stole it out of Shirley Temple's (May She RIP) closet. I have always loved her look in this TN. Until tonight. On the contrary, I loved Nadia's hair. She had that slick straight hair look. I thought it looked good, especially next to Montse's nest. Ale, as always, looked handsome.
One more thing. Why did Montse keep looking at JL & Angie at the wedding. Even Ale noticed it. She almost looked a little jealous. I think she doesn't want to admit that she likes the fact that JL still loves her. And seeing JL being loving with Angie makes Montse think that JL's love for her is dwindling. Montse likes being JL's puppet master. Or maybe I am imagining things because it's past 4:30am, and I need to go to bed! More comments later.
Off to sleep...hasta pronto!

I can feel your stabbing desire you have for Gracie ugh,she goes on my nerves,she definetly has Saurons eye.I hated Monses look and the only character that i like now is Dimitrio and Robledo,the smartest good guys we have on the arsenal..
Oh my, Eli. This was absolutely priceless! Every word was perfection, but you got me big time with "I think Nadia wins our award for "piss poor planning".
This must have been some kind of break in filming because I swear everyone had a makeover. Hair colors different, hair cuts, Nadia even looked different and it wasn't the hair I don't think.
And I couldn't agree more on Monse. My son walked in the room, saw her and said "could they have given her any more eye makeup. What a horror!"
Fabs already latching on to JL was disgusting. Good lord woman, Angie isn't dead yet. Cool your jets. And Amalia back to her snooty self was a good throw back to how she was at the start of this TN. I guess they will be ok for bucks even though hubby was a confessed crook. Must assume Auntie Pru/family money of Amalia's own.
I took Monse staring that she felt bad for Angie and that JL wasn't worthy of her because now she "hates" him? She wanted to show him up and convince him she loves her hubby. Hello high school.
Oh, and nice one EZ. Put the target on the Padre. Anyone else have a very bad foreboding with that?
As for our Dim, we at the DimFine table were so proud of out young dude. I'm hoping with all that is in me that the preview we see will be a bust and all will be well with our bestest couple. I will be royally ticked off if the writers try to pull them apart already.And we get another Ale "you kissed JL" tirade. Enough already.

Elie- Your fun recap of this episode convinced me to watch it (haven't watched in over a week), so I'm watching it now over breakfast. I can't believe you didn't mention the horrible, and hilarious sight of Graceless in her facemask and fuchsia headband. Ack! She looks like the evil witch she is.
As for Ferdinando's (Adolfo) eyelashes-- the are a treat I look forward to whenever I see he's going to be in a tn. He has such beautiful eyes.

Eli, this entire recap was splendid fun. You hit every note perfectly, from your comments on the wedding "I loved how Angelica sat her mom in the table meant for Esmeralda's friends, the look on Amelias face was priceless!" (indeed it was), the maturation of Dimitrio "ah Dimi, you've come such a long way * sniff,sniff,someone get me some tissues!";" Monse's strange Barbie like appearance "she looked like a cupcake (Ane Paula would envy her!)". And of course our hated Pedro who "looks like somebody kicked him in his special place". Excellent!
Although I enjoyed every wedding scene I was fuming how Graciela continued to emotionally abuse Josefina. How utterly cruel and contemptible. I kept waiting and hoping Fina would sweep into the wedding looking like the beautiful, radiant woman she is! Although Dimitrio is catching onto Graciela's nonsense, he had no idea how evil his mother truly is.
Poor Fab is a fashion catastrophe. She looks worse in each successive outfit she sports. Also annoyed she dragged JL away from Angelica to dance. daisy, "Good lord woman, Angie isn't dead yet. Cool your jets." Yes, exactly!
Thought JL and Angelica were really enjoying each other and yes, Monse couldn't seem to tear her eyes away. Agree AuntyAnn, I think there was some jealousy there - it appeared brillantly obvious that JL is in love with his wife.
Demetrios, I was saddened to see Robledo's wife. I was hoping that he might be there for Carlota after EZ breaks her heart.
Vivi, am with you on Adolfo's eyelashes. And the eyes themselves are also quite stunning!
This was wonderful Eli. Thank you!

Great work, Ellie; weddings are always fun to cover.
Love how Angelica put her mother with Esmeralda's former colleagues. Amelia deserves a little culture shock sometimes. Also love how Capitan Robledo handled the guy getting out of line.
Graceless with a face full of masque was a sight to behold. And she has the gall to criticize "la fenomena"... Give moi a break. Her anvil will be heated to glowing before it's hoisted to fall.
Someone wondered previously about whether JL's ejection from the Navy is a ruse. I'd love to think so. Capitan Robledo is more interested in justice than the letter of the law, but I hope he doesn't end up with a premature retirement before all this is resolved.
There must also be a TN law that the bride (if she's a nice person) must always be the most beautiful at her own wedding. Nadia's hair was too straight and totally severe while Monse's was too poufy in combination with her dress. She should have had a straighter or longer skirt and some lipstick to balance out that hairstyle.

Villians in this story have no shame ,i cannot even describe my contempt,i watched La Intrusa and Danilo ( Sergio Sendel) did have something to like about i loved his smile and that he defended the heroine from that scum Celestino.I cannot find nothing solid to like about Pedo. Graciela,i too find no redeeming quality at all..
Eli, what a fun way to start the day with your very funny recap. I especially enjoyed your "sniff" and "sniff, sniff" .
ITA, Montse's look was really bad from the raccoon eyes to the hairstyle to the goofy dress. She looked a lot older than she usually does.
Daisynjay, I agree Fabiola was totally disgusting insisting that JL dance with her.
Montse staring was just too much.
Still cannot believe Nadia would get herself pregnant knowing that that child would live in Pedro's household and be under Pedro's control. Finally last night she realizes being pregnant is not such a good idea and might want to end it? She never thought about the child, just that she wanted one?
I don't hold out much hope for Josefina either. Seriously, she needs some help. At least Carlota did a good job with her needle and thread and Dimitrio has an idea of what is going on. They should be out of the house away from Graciela living on their own. Paying the maid a little more isn't going to do it.
So our villains still reign supreme.
We need some good strong women here who think before they act since Prudencia is no longer involved and it looks like Angelica is on her way out.
Yesterday I was in a local tourist town and what did I find in the boutiques? Fedoras for spring! Different colors, different materials, all with bands, some with flowers. So Fabiola is totally in fashion albeit an ugly fashion on her.

Eli, your recap had me laughing from start: "Ohemcheese!It's a wedding, a super duper wedding!" to finish. I too was glad that we finally had a happy episode for a change.
The highlight for me was the interaction with Dimi and Fina. I sometimes wonder if Osvaldo does some ad-libbing, when he goes on about how in this case, the groom is his BFFF. LOL!It's been fun watching his transformation from a lazy gold-digger to now a loving husband and head of the family.
So glad too that Carlotta stepped up to the plate as Fina's "fairy godmother"! Hopefully this is the start of Fina's transformation, so that she can build up the confidence that she needs to stand up to the mother-in-law from hell.
I do worry about Padre, like Daisynjay said. He now has a target on him, but also Robledo and the lawyer. Who knows what Pedro and Sandro will do to them to get them out of their way!

Eli:
This whole recap is a gem, a wonderful sparkling gem! Thank you so much!
I agree with you, Diana, about Graceless, could she get any more horrid? I want Fina to finally get some avocadoes and tell Graceless off. I really liked the Tia here. She was wonderful in her talk with Fina and getting Graceless' dress, and altering it. Wonderful!
Nadia, Nadia, the poor thing! She's really between a rock and a hard place. I wonder what she will do in the end?
Dimi is turning into the best guy eva! I wish he had been listening at doors when horrid Graceless was going on and on with Fina. I loved when he was telling Manuela not to let Fina do anymore housework and correcting her on his name! You go Dimi!
I kinda of liked Esme wedding dress, cause the dress is like the girl. Sassy and with just enough pizazz. I have always liked Esme and Refugio. Such a fun couple.
Monse and that dress, something from "Mad Men" it was sixties chic. Her staring at JL was more in disgust and dislike. She was feeling bad for Angie. Monse is really hating on JL.
I think Addled was riddled with guilt with Ginny. I don't think he liked one bit, what happened with the kidnapping and regrets it. Even though Ginny has no clue what happened to her, he is still riddled with guilt.
Thanks again Eli for this fab, happy recap : )

Thanks again, Eli. The recap was wonderful.
I'm going to have to agree with those who think part of Monse staring down JL was jealousy. The first time she was staring at him, and he was cuddling Angie with not a thought of Monse in his head, SHE felt the need to grab Ale's hand. Why? JL wasn't paying attention. Why did she need that reassurance that one of her men loved her? That had NOTHING to do with being worried about Angie or being mad that JL is trying to frame her husband. That was all about HER pride. Same thing when she kept staring at JL on the dance floor until he finally returned her stare, and then she started making out with Ale. She was purposely trying to make JL jealous.

Actually, I think Monserrat is still somewhat insecure after being raised by a narcissist like Graceless. Daughters of women like her often feel worthless either as women or as people in general because their (very insecure) mothers raise them to believe "You will never be half the woman I am."
Hence the decision by somebody to make Monse look like something out of Mad Men. Part of her life mirrors that era in the sense that her mother sold her for their future financial stability with Monse being only 19 at the time. No college degree and no known work skills.
When we get right down to it, there is even less excuse for Fabiola (if she is the real deal). She was orphaned at 9 and in (presumably expensive) boarding schools from that point on until graduation. Cevera said that Benjamin sent lots of money for her care and later lifestyle over the years.

Eli--The recap was fast and furious, but yep, we got the upbeat part, the happy part. Congratulations.
So far I agree that Monse looked like she tumbled out of the extra-dry cycle of a clothes drier and then stuck her finger in an electrical socket. I thought she looked more like Alice in Wonderland. How many crinolines does it take to make a skirt stand out like that? I remember wearing at least 3 and it still wasn't enough (but that was back in a certain day).
Dimi looked fine. But so did the "punk" he knocked out. Surely he will be getting bigger parts in the galan department.
I guess Esme's one-sided, above the knee bow-tie wedding dress was a nod to her former profession.
Eli, I'm disappointed you didn't have some one-liner about Gracie's "make-up" when she came in to ruin Fina's day. I understand, it was late for you, but when you get up, bring it on!
To continue with the washer-dryer theme, that Gracie is an expert at spin-cycle.

Dear Eli,
Thanks so much for the wonderful recap. You always have me laughing so much! Loved this opening--
Amalia and Angelic surprise Esmeralda with a wedding and an awful wedding gown, if someone tried to put me in that I'd be all like "naw homie, that's not happening"
I was not into that mullet style wedding dress, either.
However, I did think most everyone else and everything else (with the exception of Montse's hair) was looking great last night but my BEST DRESSED AWARD goes to José-Luis, who was a vision in all white--have to assume it's okay in Mexico for MEN to wear the same color as the bride?
I thought J-L looked especially fantastic and wondered if maybe this was why Montse couldn't stop eye-balling him. She's usually only ever seen him in old work clothes or a uniform.
I LOVE Alejandro but there's no way he could have pulled off that white on white on white look like J-L.
Thanks again, Eli. You are so funny and observant!

I’ll join the bandwagon. Montserrat’s look was horrid; she had the look of a chapita Olivia Newton-John in Grease.
I loved seeing the three “working girls” (I mean exotic dancers) in attendance. They were having a blast. But Jeez, not one of them was even under 40. No wonder La Escondida had to shut down.
Alejandro just got out of jail, so why the brooding, sulking and slumped shoulders? Grow the F(&^ up for God’s sake!

Ha ha ha ha! Eli you made my day. Haven't watched in a while. What a funfilled recap. It will be a cruel joke if Montserrat had any erotic feelings left for JL. She truely loves her husband but royally pissed off at JL. She knows he still loves her 'cause he told her, but she also believes he is doing his best to distroy her husband and her family. I don't think it's jealousy.
Thanks again Eli

"So far I agree that Monse looked like she tumbled out of the extra-dry cycle of a clothes drier and then stuck her finger in an electrical socket."
And with that, I got my weekly side-eyed look from a fellow office employees walking by my door. They are firmly convinced I must be one notch short of a loon the way I laugh alone in my office.
Wonder if we should start making the Pedro/EZ target list. Methinks EX is going to use Pedro's insecurities to let him do the dirty work of getting rid of possible enemies and at the same time make him make stupider and stupider mistakes so he can set him up to be caught. Robledo, Padre, Maria ( if she says one word), Adolfo (same), Victor...I'm starting worry about where the writers might go with this revenge, quiet them up theme.
And Sandho and Fabs might not yet realize the devil they went in league with. He doesn't need them or they try to cross him...yikes!!
Think happy plots, think happy plots...

Eli, thanks for this light-hearted cheerful recap... Lord knows we've been needing this happy peppy change of pace. You certainly had the perfect touch and captured the mood and spirit.
What a good sport Angelique Boyer was to appear with that outfit, that makeup, and (gasp!) that hideous hair. Yikes!
As for JL and Montserrat, I think that neither is over the other. Both are behaving like jealous possessive adolescents... each perhaps ready to move on but not ready to give up ownership.
That prenuptial kiss that Esmeralda gave Refugio was downright steamy and full of promise. Padre Anselmo noticed and gently scolded. The post-nuptial kiss was exuberant and fun.
I had my doubts about a surprise wedding and have my doubts about how successful such would be in real life, but it certainly worked here.
I think that both Padre Anselmo and Licenciado Cevera are in grave danger.
As for Nadia, I can only shake my head. How disappointing she is.
Carlos

Eli – Thanks. Reading your recap was a joy. My favorites:
This kills Josefina's spirit and makes me want to stab Graciela in the eye--heck in both eyes! Bruja!
think Nadia wins our award for "piss poor planning"
I vote Monse was jealous. She could see that the affection between JL and Angie was genuine. Monse loves Ale with all her soul, but the breakup with JL and switch to Ale was quick and abrupt. She never got the time to work through her feelings. And after all, JL did climb the highest mountain, swim the widest sea to get to her after his jail break, so likely she has a twinge of guilt about turning him into a “vindictive man.” Too bad Nadia has super-crazy problems of her own, cause she’s the only one Monse could talk this through with.
the dress is like the girl. Sassy and with just enough pizzazz.
Madelaine, ITA. At first sight I thought the high-low hem with gauze was strange, but it was perfect for Esme.
Amelia was a hoot with Esme’s friends. Angie is a little scamp for doing that to her mom. Of all the women, she's the one I'd want to hang out with.
Yay, Carlota comes to the rescue for Fina. Can’t wait to see what she did to the hemline since Fina is about two feet taller than Gracie.

Eli:
Thank you for this delightful recap. Your light tone and humor are such a relief after weeks of doom and gloom on the show.
I couldn't agree more on your take on Esme's hideous wedding gown, but she sure looked happy, didn't she?
I am so happy to have some TV time with Josefina and Dimitrio.
Thanks again, Eli!

As I watched this, I was congratulating the writers for giving us a light-hearted happy episode, and then they had to bring in Graciela to crush poor Josefina's spirit. Like you, Ms. Eli, I wanted to stab her in both eyes! and a few other places as well.
I heartily agree with all the favorite lines quoted, but also want to add:
"dark-haired slime" as a description for our Cuban lawyer and
Pedro No Nuts... need I say more?
Anita, the scumbag that Refugio punched out played Tony in Corazon Indomable, if you happened to watch that train wreck. He certainly is future galan material.
And has anyone else noticed how Ezekiel's one eye is lower-lidded than the other? It's always half closed and makes him look even shiftier than ever. And since it's telenovela law that one good, innocent person gets murdered, I'm worried for both Padre Anselmo and Capt. Robledo (whose wife was quite hot-looking, by the way).
Was hoping to see Josefina appear all resplendent by the end, but no luck there.
But the recap was great...funny and light-hearted. Now what's all this about an Army of Midgets!?
Oh, and Montse's hair--looked like that insulation material they blow into attics. Dress a lovely color but otherwise unfortunate in every way. Eye make-up, worthy of an Escondida working girl.

And how are we supposed to believe this surprise wedding? Don't they do the whole blood test, civil marriage thing first anyway? Legal wedding. Then church wedding if desired. Oh well. Why carp about fairy tales? Go with the flow...
Thank you, Eli. Your recaps are akways fun to read.
Having grown up with a limited wardrobe, I love clothes. I just bought a few floral chiffon skirts with handkerchief hems. So, I always notice the clothing.
I liked the wedding gown except for the high low hem. I know that that mullet hem is a trend , but I am tired of it I did not buy any skirts or dresses with that hemline, I guess Mari's extensive collection of those types of skirts.just was enough for me. I do not think that I would be happy with a surprise wedding in which someone else picked out my gown. Although, it did remind me of my parents-in-laws'. 50th wedding anniversary party. My mother-in-law always seemed sad that she never had a wedding gown or a church wedding because she and my father-in-law got married when he was in the army. So we had the surprise celebration for their 50th in the church socialhall with the renewal of vows in the church. My sister-in-law bought her a very simple white gown with a straight skirt I made the bouquets. Her grandson walked her down the aisle, and her four granddaughters wore their prom gowns and were her bridesmaids. I was the photographer and captured all the lovely moments.
I agree that Mony's new "Luke, was a little bizarre. I liked the color of her dress with her blonde hair , but the short poufy skirt and her poufy hairdo was...a little too much pouf for my taste. She looked like a Barbie doll.
I did not get a good look at Josefina in Gracie's pink dress. teehee. I bet Tia loved altering that dress . I guess this was the makeover we have been waiting for. Did Josefina's fairy godmother warn her to be home before the clock strikes midnight ? I hated seeing her catch Dim with Gin.

Well okay, Eli...but do you KNOW lots of them? Better start working on that guest list now, just sayin'
Judy, I thought the same thing with the "surprise" wedding. I thought they had to have the legal signing and all that, but don't remember seeing that done. It was just the nice churchie stuff with the Padre. But who are we to quibble. Maybe our dear denizens needed a break and they'll get to the legalities later. They seem to do things rather oddly in that dear town anyway.
From the look of Angie, my guess is we only have our dear girl for maybe an episode or two. She could barely stand. So going to hate to see her go. There goes our ray of sunshine. Instead we'll probably get more of Miss Doom and Gloom Maria (sorry Carlos).

No offense taken, Daisynjay. I'm getting used to it. As long as they keep Montse's makeup person and hairdresser away from María, I'm good.
Carlos

Carlos: Maria is a beautiful woman. Too bad her heart is black as night. Or, is she just misunderstood? Hmmm. Uh, no.
Angie can't go. She's one of the few people that are good--pure and simple. I want a pregnancy miracle and I want it now!!!!
