A couple of weeks ago, I received an e-mail from Rebecca Greenberg, a casting producer for a new show coming to the Oprah Winfrey Network called, “Don’t Tell the Bride!”

This is a portion of the email from Rebecca:

“We are casting dynamic couples who are currently engaged, but lack the funds to have a dream wedding.  “Don’t Tell the Bride” gives $25,000 to 8 cash-strapped couples to create the wedding of their dreams.  The only catch is the bride and groom can’t see each other for three weeks before the nuptials, AND the groom has to plan the whole wedding in secret (with NO input from his bride). 

Casting Requirements:

- Must be over 18 years of age

- Currently engaged

- Willing and able to get legally married between July 2011 – September 2011

- Have a few groomsmen and bridesmaids with big personalities willing to be on the show with you

- No long distance or destination weddings. You must be willing to marry within driving distance of couple’s residence(s).

For more information or to recommend an engaged couple for the show, please contact REBECCA at 323.904.4680 x1050 OR email me at rgreenberg@shedmediaus.com with your name, age, number, city/state, photo of the couple, and brief description of why you’d be ideal for the show.”

Now wouldn’t you know that all my couples are currently underway with their planning?  This sounds like such a fun opportunity – I hope my fellow planners will pass the info along to your clients.

Here is a flyer that Rebecca sent also:

Wishing you all a great week!
