Wedding Show

So..

FH and I initially thought that we would want to do the new wedding show that will be on TLC that they advertised on here last week for nov and dec brides...

we decided against it....

Anyone doing it?

Ooo...what is it?? I love wedding shows

Its called My Wedding Guest or Be My Wedding Guest..something like that..and they put brides to be together to discuss their wedding plans, etc. Then they go to your wedding..

If you do it I think you were to qualify for an expensive honeymoon or anniversary trip.

FH and I decided we didn't want to be on TV though..plus we didn't want our wedding turning into a circus.

Wow...thats sounds like a great show!! I dont think Id want to be on tv either though.

Planning a wedding is enough chaos already right??

I'll definitly be watching for the show though

really if i knew about it, i would have totally done it!
my brother was on a wedding show last year when they got married and at first we were all like....i dont wanna be on tv! this is weird im going to feel werid..blah blah blah!

but the end result was awesome! i would do it in a heart beat..that is if i were getting married again

Really? Maybe I should bring it up to FH again. I started to mention it the other night and he kinda blew me off.

I'm in the mist of it now.

I did the phone and camera interview. And they are creating a profile on me.

But I didn't know they advertised on here for it.
Allegra sent me an email about it... and I replied and they called me back.

There was a post the other day but LIW banned the user and deleted the post.

Personally I would be mortified to have my wedding on national TV, but that's just me! I would be so afraid of people judging me because I judge everyone I see on TV! And I'm not very nice about it!

For a brief, BRIEF moment, the idea flickered in my head...but then I thought against it, because even though I put on my front I'd be mortified and embarassed and hurt and angry and upset if something I worked so hard on got shat upon by other girls. To my face

Plus, FH would never do it.

noone called me...i guess we r that boring of a couple

I think your wedding is probably too soon for them. They seemed to be focusing on later months.

FSIL said there is a british show like this that she watches...you all go to each others weddings and then everyone votes on who has the best one...I think

2011 CRASHER-- sorry but....

YES! I was just going to write that!! I'm in England now...and I've been watching Four Weddings. Four different brides share their plans and their budgets and then attend each others weddings. They are competing for a honeymoon in the end.

Some of them are hard to watch because the women can be brutal....they judge based on venue, your dress, the food, and the atmosphere -overall presentation.

I just don't know how someone can judge someone elses wedding- everyone is different and spent a long time planning for someone else to come around and criticize. It will take a strong bride to do this if they are running the program the same way.

Sorry if I'm venting....just wanted to share what I knew.

Hey Kerri - what's the deal with it? I don't want to waste time calling back if it's not worth it.

The lady on the phone was nice... and then when I went there to meet them and do the camera interview.. they were really nice. I spoke with one lady for a few minutes then she had me fill out paper work about my wedding. then i went into a room with a camera and 2 other people and they asked me questions and i answered them. then they turned the camera off and we talked about nothiing wedding or show related and i left. they asked me to get pics together to send to them. they emailed me for the information and said they were going to make a profile on me. and that's where it leaves off. i went on the camera interview last wednesday (not the one that just passed but the one before it). they seemed very nice. i dont have anything bad to say so far. they even had yummy candles burning!! haha!

some of you have gotten to know me a bit from this site. I'm not the type of person to really care what anyone else thinks! haha! plus im pretty confident in most if not all of my wedding decisions (my dress will be good when im done with it!!!). I don't know if I would do it... but I don't know if they are even going to offer it to me... so I'm not going to even bother thinking about doing it or not unless It was offered and I was at that point.

The trip is a 5 star trip... you can take it for your HM or any other time. My HM is booked already so I wouldn't use it for that. Because of my HM schedule they said they could lump me with the October brides... and I'd be the last or they would put me with the december brides and id be the first. They said this at the camera interview.

Honestly... I feel its what you make of it. I just plan on having fun with it! But I have fun with anything... especially when vodka is involved! And from the looks of my BP... IF they were to attend my wedding... theres no way they aren't having a great time!!! My BP is sooo outgoing and just party people!! My mother and FH know about it... as does some of the BP.... they all thought it was a fun idea. My thing would be... I wouldn't take it too seriously... and natrually I'm not bitchy or snappy or nasty (usually ... hahaha). People who say nasty things on TV just make themselves look bad... not you. kwim?

I have been speaking with them on the phone, but ultimatly my FH is going to say no.

First, I do trust TLC. They are a family network. I believe them when im told they are NOT out to trash your wedding.

But we have some concerns that you all should take into consideration before saying yes:

1. Yes, you meet the other brides, but can you be sure they will 'behave' at your wedding? All I really mean is you dont know if they are nasty if they get drunk. Will they throw up on the floor? Will they come to your black tie optional wedding in goth?

2. The cameras. We have a videographer and SPECIFICALLY picked him because we did NOT want High Def. They must use bright lights with high def and its not what we have in mind.

3. Production. Our Photographer is in charge. Period. If our photographer says 'get out of the way' will they? I was told it is something to discuss with production. But you might sign a contract that says 'we have all access, period.' Now im not saying they will follow you to the bathroom, but if the contract says X, you MUST go by said contract.

4. I am jewish. Jews dont really have cake toppers, or favors. Will I loose because I dont have these small things??? And the other brides are like 'They DONT have a cake topper????'

5. I am open minded. I assume I would be going to a wiccan wedding, a catholic wedding, a circus wedding, or a goth wedding. I can appreciate anyones choices and say 'thats not me but it was lovely.' I could NEVER trash another girls wedding even if I thought it was G-d aweful. HOW will TLC handle this part? I would feel aweful for another girl in my group that might get trashed by the other 2 women.

So.....its just too many variables that we thnk just dont make the POSSIBLE prize (5 star trip) worth the risk.

But all in all I DO think that TLC is not out to trash anyone or make us look bad.

Let us know how it goes Kerri!

when i went there they STRESSED over and over and over again.. that their goal was to be a fly on the wall... and not to be in the way or even be up front. they said they would be in the background. they also said their lights wouldn't be so bright and they wouldnt disrupt anything. they literally went out of their way to repeat that to me over and over and over again.

and with the open minded thing... yes i am open minded as well. VERY. And truthfully... if you have someone trashing your wedding because it was a jewish wedding... does that make YOU look bad or that bride look bad?? Personally it makes that bride look like a HUGE A HOLE ON TV.... NOT you!

Haha.. if they get too drunk or whatever... they just might fit in better with my friends!! hahahaha!! Really though... they would probably just get kicked out... I mean if you had someone who got that sick and was puking on the floor... i'm pretty positive that someone would get rid of that person. tv show or not. The RH and if you have a DOC or your bride person (i forget what its called right now) wouldnt stand for that. You hear all the time that things went down at weddings and hardly anyone knew about it....not even the bride and groom. Also, if that bride really wants to win.. I doubt she would drink herself into oblivion on TV!! She would HAVE to know that no one would vote for her after that!!!!

And as far as feeling bad if 2 girls trashed the other brides wedding.. I mean the bride signed up for it... and like I said... if 2 brides trash the one girl... i think the 2 brides ultimately are the ones who look crappy. there is a tasteful way to say things... and if they don't follow that... well then THEY will look bad. We see it all the time on LIW. How many girls come on here and insult someone right away by saying stupid things? Who looks bad? Do we all then go gang up on the bride who was just insulted or the one who said something stupid? usually everyone attacks the one who said something stupid. And again that person looks like an A HOLE. granted this is a website... but it's still public.

All in all... I will see how it goes... and just go with the flow. I'm not saying i would 100% do it if they offered it to me. But so far it seems OK. I plan on reading all the fine print before I sign anything... if it even comes to that.
