Over 300,000 people tuned in to see Lydia Plath and Zac Wyse say “I do” on Welcome to Plathville last month, but Lydia says she has no plans to ever watch her own wedding episode.
During an Instagram Q&A session on Tuesday, Lydia revealed that she hasn’t watched the episode featuring her wedding, due to how the show was edited to focus more on the antics of Lydia’s siblings (and their significant others). Lydia stated that she doesn’t want the good memories she has from that day tainted.
“Did you end up watching the wedding episode?” a fan asked the fair-haired newlywed.
“No, I didn’t,” Lydia replied. “I have my memories of my experience on my wedding day and I don’t need to watch an edited dramatized version of other people’s perspective of my beautiful wedding day. Besides, we have the best wedding video in the world to go back and watch!”
As ‘Welcome to Plathville’ fans saw, the two episodes covering Lydia and Zac’s wedding were filled with footage of drama between Lydia’s brother Micah and his then-girlfriend Veronica Peters, as well as drama between Veronica and pretty much everyone else in the family. From fights about attending the reception, to Veronica very obviously choosing to hang out with local cows rather than the Plath family, both episodes showed all the Plath family drama happening as Lydia and Zac enjoyed their ceremony and reception.
This is not the first time Lydia has refused to watch an episode of her family’s show. Back in August, Lydia revealed that Zac warned her against watching the episode of the show that featured his proposal to her. (As fans saw, the Brothers Plath and their girlfriends basically hazed poor Zac as he tried to include them in his proposal plans.)
“Zac told me [not to watch it] and that’s all I needed to hear,” she said during an interview with Access Hollywood. “I was frustrated with them, to say the least. But I was also like, ‘Whatever, we’re going to get through this. In a few months, that’s not going to be a big deal because we’ll talk through it with them.’”
“We’re not going to let them take us off of our path,” Zac added.
During her Instagram Q&A on Tuesday, Lydia also revealed that she has learned a lot in the eight months since the wedding.
“I didn’t realize how much I avoided conflict or confrontation with everything in me,” Lydia responded when asked how marriage has changed her. “So learning how to have healthy conversation in the midst of misunderstanding or miscommunication has been my biggest challenge that I’m growing in.”

Good for her! Who in earth wants their brothers and their girlfriends being total asshats at their wedding. I may not share her beliefs but she’s got more class and grace than that rachet “buy me a bottle if you’re not cheap” bunch.
Agreed. It’s a shame that she couldn’t look forward and enjoy seeing that episode. She deserved to be able to do that. It’s sad she was denied that.
It’s fine if she doesn’t want to watch it. But she needs to not stick her head in the sand regarding the toxicity of Ethan, Isaac and Kim. All 3 of them were hell bent on ruining things for her for their own selfish reasons.
It’s hard to face & she’s young. I couldn’t face truths about my family until just recently & I’m kver twice her age. Some never do.

I don’t think they wanted to ruin things for her, uch less being “hellbent” on doing that. I also don’t think it was for selfish reasons that they raised concerns.
I do agree their actions were selfish (especially Ethan) at the engagement and the rehearsal. I thought they reined it in pretty well for the wedding day, at least until the fight between Isaac and Micah after the reception.
I don’t think she let them ruin it. I think what they were doing was all for the cameras.
