I was on Craigslist today and I came across a posting made by Slice Network. It’s a casting call for GTA couples for a new wedding show:
Getting married? Slice is giving couples a free high-end wedding planner and potentially thousands of dollars’ worth of assistance.
We’re casting for ENGAGED COUPLES AND THEIR MOMS who live within the GTA and are planning to get married in the next year but have been putting it off.
Couples should be open to the idea of having their moms help organize the wedding.
To find out more, please call 416-504-7317 x559
I assume that having an “interesting” relationship with your mother will increase your chance of getting casted.
Anyway, you can see the original post here.

TV Show Casting Call
Planning an at-home wedding? Want to be on a reality TV show? Then check out the posting below.
ARE YOU PLANNING A WEDDING AT HOME FOR YOU OR A FRIEND OF THE FAMILY? DOES YOUR RESIDENTIAL VENUE NEED A SERIOUS FACELIFT IN ORDER TO HOST WEDDING DAY GUESTS? WE CAN HELP!
Are you a bride/groom-to-be with nuptials planned for February 2010 and beyond (spring, summer, fall 2010)? Are you considering having your wedding ceremony or reception “at home” (whether it be your house, your parent’s place or your great Aunt Sue’s farm) but the interior home décor is too ugly/outdated to expose to friends & family for any aspect of the event (rehearsal dinner, bride preparation, out-of-town guests, photography or even the ceremony itself)? We can help make your horrible place a stunning space for your special day & beyond. Why spend money on a venue when you could invest in the place you get to enjoy ‘till death do you part?
Television Production Company Knight Enterprises, creators of Food Network Canada’s hit series Road Grill & HGTV’s Junk Brothers, are in development for a wedding series with a down-home twist! We are looking for couples that are having weddings/wedding-related events in a residential setting that is in need of a serious face lift! Our expert hosts (1 interior designer + 1 wedding planner = a fantastic team) will design the event of your dreams AND a home re-design (in the “highlighted” rooms of the house) that will be functional & stylish far beyond the wedding day.
If your upcoming wedding seems like it would be a good fit for us, get in touch & tell us why! Start with an email that includes the following:
- Your wedding date & location
- About “you” the couple (include a few photos!)
- About “the home” where your wedding/wedding event is taking place – why does it need an update? (include a few photos!)
All materials (and questions) can be submitted via email (**no phone calls please) to talentsearch@knight-tv.com
CASTING IS OPEN TO COUPLES IN THE TORONTO & OTTAWA AREAS

Want to be on “Wedding SOS”?
Slice’s popular “Wedding SOS” show is looking for couples! It’s looking for GTA couples who are getting married between now and August 2009 and whose weddings could use some help from a fairy godmother. Below are the details.If you end up on the show let me know, I’d love to hear about your experience.
Dear Brides and Grooms,
Let’s face it, getting married isn't a picnic. The flowers arrive at the last minute and they're the wrong color; the bridesmaid has gained weight and can't squeeze into her dress; the fabulous location for the reception has been accidentally double book. The hidden stresses and high tensions on the special day can all but undo the best laid plans, then there are those that haven't planned at all.
Enter celebrity wedding-planner extraordinaire, Jane Dayus-Hinch, to save the day! Jane tackles everything from meddling parents and reluctant grooms, to ornery caterers and a no-show DJ.
Back for a new season with a whole new crop of wedding emergencies, Wedding SOS gives viewers a front row seat to the pre-marital madness.
Unpredictable, comedic and emotionally charged, we are looking for couples whose wedding is just around the corner and are getting married this year within the Toronto GTA. If this is you contact me now at dvirgo@cineflix.com with a picture of yourself and your intended telling us your own personal story.
Thanks,
David Virgo,Talent and Casting Director, Cineflix productions

My Anti-Wedding
Usually reality TV weddings are elaborate, wallet-busting affairs that are beyond the reach of most people (well, people who don't want to go into debt over one day). But on Sunday, Jan 25, TLC ran what could best be described as the anti-reality TV wedding. It was my own personal nightmare wedding.
It was called "A Very Duggar Wedding" and was focused on the wedding of 20-year-old Josh Duggar, the oldest of the 18 Duggar children to Anna, a Florida girl who he met while at a home schooling convention.
No, I'm not making this up. The Duggar family really does have 18 kids; 18 kids who are homeschooled, dressed similarly and broken of independent thought. Why yes they are fundamentalist Christians, however did you guess that?
Anna, meanwhile, is a Baptist and the wedding took place at her family's Baptist church. This, as her father happily told us, means that there will be no drinking or dancing at the wedding. He also informed us that all those wine references in the Bible are actually grape juice references. Now, it's easy to criticize the Bible but the one thing that it does have right is that people back then enjoyed their wine.
Now, these types of shows are always kind of creepy because you can't help but think, what kind of people are okay with a camera crew filming the lives of them and their children? But this show was extra-creepy because of all the emphasis put on "firsts". For example, Josh and Anna were going to share their very first kiss after they exchanged vows. We were told this fact some 20-odd times.
Much emphasis was also placed on the wedding night which was sort of treated like a dirty joke by some the family members while father Duggar give his son an instructional audio tape and a book that explained what one's wedding night should be like. It was made clear that the book did not contain pictures.
Oh, then there were the vows, such soul-crushing vows. Josh needed to promise to provide for Anna while she had to promise to follow his leadership because, as her father explained earlier, Josh is now essentially her owner. The couple also had to promise to leave reproductive issues in the hands of god. Because clearly the world needs more people who don't believe in evolution.
To be fair, while this clearly wasn't the wedding for me, Anna and Josh did seem very excited and happy about their wedding, as were Josh's parents. Anna's father on the other hand seemed more excited that he had the chance to educate TLC's audience about Baptists while her mother appeared not to be allowed to speak.
There was one aspect of their wedding that I did quite like. They were married at 7 pm and had most of their pictures taken before the actual ceremony. I'm in favour of this approach since then you are getting your pictures taken were you are looking your best. It also means that your guests don't have to wait around for hours between the ceremony and the reception. Shawn and I are planning on doing something similar, though we had this idea long before we watched "A Very Duggar Wedding".
