To say Amanda Dillon has mommy issues is the understatement of the century. Amanda is the daughter of sometimes psychotic, always smothering Janet "From Another Planet" Dillon. She's had to put up with a lot in life -- her crazy mom being just one of her many trials. But now Amanda is set to wed her sweetheart Jake in a big, official wedding ceremony that every bride dreams of. As Amanda ventures towards a new future, we wanted to take a look at her past.

So do so -- with our Amanda 101 gallery.

And if you want even more Jake and Amanda-related fun, then check out Bridal Guide's latest feature on how to throw a ceremony that's just as sleek and classy as their upcoming one (pics abound!).
