Four Weddings: Where Are They Now?

Four Weddings is a reality TV show that aired from 2009 to 2013. The show pits four brides-to-be against each other as they attend and judge each other's weddings, rating various aspects such as food, venue, dress, and overall experience. The couple with the highest-rated wedding wins a luxury honeymoon. While the show was initially planned to be revived in 2023, it was ultimately scrapped for undisclosed reasons.

Four Weddings is a reality TV show

The show follows a similar style to Come Dine with Me and includes an "Online wedding rater" feature, where viewers can rate the weddings as they are shown and compare their scores with the rest of the public. The format has been exported to several countries, including France, Germany, Italy, and Russia.

In 2023, a planned revival series by ITV Studios subsidiary Multistory Media for Channel 4 was scrapped for undisclosed reasons. However, the show continues to captivate audiences with its unique premise and competitive nature, pitting brides or grooms against each other on their most important day.

Four brides attend and rate each other's weddings

Four Weddings is a reality TV show that first aired in 2009. The show pits four brides against each other as they attend and rate each other's weddings. The brides rate the overall experience, venue, dress, and food, and the winner is rewarded with a luxury honeymoon.

The show has had multiple seasons and has inspired similar shows in other countries. The premise is simple: four brides, who are all getting married within a similar timeframe, attend each other's weddings and judge them. The weddings are rated on various aspects, and the couple with the highest rating wins an exotic honeymoon. While the show is meant to be a fun and light-hearted competition, it has also sparked some controversy over the years. Some viewers have criticised the show for its lack of scientific scoring and the potential for personal bias to influence the results.

Despite this, the show has clearly struck a chord with audiences, and many brides have shared their experiences of being on the show. One bride, Linsie from "Four Weddings and an Oathing Stone," shared that she was surprised by some of the other girls' comments but that overall, the girls got along well. She also noted that there was a lot of fine print regarding the honeymoon prize, including having to wait until the show aired to go on the trip and having to cover the taxes on the trip's value.

Another bride, Amy from "Four Weddings and a Pickup Truck," said that most of what viewers saw on TV was real, and while some scenes may have been shot multiple times, the producers usually used the first take. She also mentioned that she didn't feel the need to enhance her wedding to win and was glad she chose to be on the show. Shauna from "Four Weddings and Men in Kilts" agreed that the show was mostly authentic, but she was disappointed by how little airtime her wedding received.

The show has provided a unique insight into the world of weddings and has given brides a platform to showcase their special days. While there have been some criticisms, overall, the show seems to have been a positive experience for those involved, with many brides recommending it to others.

The winning couple wins a luxury honeymoon

The winner of the competition is announced at the end of the show, with the four brides or grooms discovering which of the couples has won a luxury honeymoon. The spouse of the winning bride arrives in a white stretch limo with a bouquet of flowers for their wife. The bouquet comes with an envelope containing the mystery honeymoon destination. The winning couple is then treated to a dream honeymoon to an unknown destination.

One winner of the show shared her experience on Reddit, explaining that she and her husband were sent to Tuscany for five nights, which included one night of dinner, a spa day, wine and olive oil tasting, and a $1000 gift card. However, they were surprised to find out that the show did not cover the cost of plane tickets. Despite this, she stated that she would \"totally do it again\" for the chance to win a dream honeymoon.

The show inspired international versions

The British reality television series Four Weddings inspired the creation of similar shows in other countries. The show's format has been exported to several countries, including France, Germany, Italy, and Russia.

The American and French versions of the series feature only brides giving ratings to each ceremony, with no input from the grooms. An exception is made in the French version, where one of the grooms can give ratings if it is a gay couple getting married.

The French version of the show also features Élodie Villemus, a wedding planner who has been observing and giving ratings since 2019. Her ratings count for half of the final score.

The show ran from 2009-2013

The British reality TV show 'Four Weddings' ran for four series from 2009 to 2013. The show's premise is simple: four brides-to-be attend and judge each other's weddings, rating various aspects of the big day, from the food to the dress. The couple with the highest-rated nuptials wins an exotic honeymoon.

The show's format has proven popular enough to be exported to other countries, including France, Germany, Italy, and Russia. The American and French versions feature no input from the grooms, with only the brides able to give out ratings. In the French version, one of the grooms can give ratings if it's a gay couple that's participating.

The show has also inspired a spin-off, 'Four 21st Birthday Parties', which follows a similar format.

While 'Four Weddings' may have ended in 2013, its legacy lives on, with a planned revival series in the works for 2023. Unfortunately, this was scrapped for undisclosed reasons.
