Weddings on Oprah today

I just put on Oprah to find out she has a show on weddings on today. I missed most of it but I'll try to catch it when it replays later on cable. Did anyone else see it?

Oprah Wedding show

Money Saving Secrets

The Totally Free Dream Wedding
Sabrina and Tom always dreamed of having a big lavish wedding — they just couldn't afford it. Until, they came up with a brilliant plan that saved them tens of thousands of dollars. Sabrina and Tom had a fairytale wedding set in a castle with hundreds of guests. A wedding that would have cost them a whopping $40,000, but only cost them $8,000. How'd they do it?

Sabrina and Tom came up with the idea to have sponsors for their wedding. They subtly used the names of the companies sponsoring the wedding several times throughout the wedding process. Giving them proper recognition ensures satisfaction for all participating.

First they straightened out the food. Each restaurant agreed to serve a dish for 250 people, in return for the restaurant's name to be posted alongside the particular dish. Sabrina and Tom saved $20,000 here and spent nothing on food for their wedding. Then, they worried about dessert. Here they received a five-tier wedding cake with fresh flowers atop, and cookies — normally an estimated $2,000 — for free. The same went for the flowers, the tiara, the garter belt, the invitations, and the party favors!! All for free! Sabrina and Tom enclosed a tastefully done Sponsored By sheet with their invitations to further promote their supporting companies. Just about the only part of the wedding they did pay for was the wedding dress. Why? The expense was only due to the fact that the dress was bought before the idea for sponsorship was born!

People expected to see banners and other huge forms of advertising at their wedding, but were pleasantly surprised to find all of the advertising to be discreet. Sabrina and Tom's dream of a fairy-tale wedding met and exceeded all expectations. You can do it, too!
