New York, NY, April 26, 2006 - WE: Women's Entertainment continues to develop its original programming slate with a lineup of wedding themed shows to premiere this summer as part of the network's new Sunday night block, "WE's Wild Wedding Night".

Also announced today is the new series, I Do...Let's Eat which will debut on WE in June 2006, adding to the network's full summer of nuptial content.

"Wedding themed programming is a hit with our audience, and we are very excited to establish this block with quality shows that are relevant, fun and engaging," said Kim Martin, WE's Executive Vice President and General Manager. "We are committed to providing original content that resonates with our viewers and provides added value for our cable operators. These shows do just that, while further cementing WE as the television destination for women's entertainment."

Today's announcement comes on the heels of a record breaking quarter for WE, with HH ratings growth of +50% from 1Q05 (0.2 HH RTG) to 1Q06 (0.3 HH RTG). In addition, the 05/06 season is pacing to be the best in WE's history for Prime M-Su 8p-11p delivery of HH, W18-34, W18-49, W25-49 and W25-54. To date in 05/06, WE has +197% more original telecasts during Prime M-Su 8p-11p than in the same time period during the 04/05 season.

Bridezillas take a comedic look at how brides-to-be go from sweet to certifiable while planning their big day. The rising popularity of the series has managed to bring the term "bridezillas" into mainstream pop culture as an expression for those women who have gone from engaged to enraged. In season three, grooms-to-be become targets for the stress induced fury of these brides. The 18 episodes of Bridezillas season three are produced by September Films and run one hour each.

One week before Bridezillas season three premieres, WE will offer viewers a chance to relive their favorite bridal meltdowns from season two with the June 4th premiere of Best of Bridezillas at 10:00pm ET/7:00pm PT.

Platinum Weddings is a weekly half-hour series that brings the ultimate wedding fantasy to life for a deserving couple in each new episode. From the beaches of Cabo to the Las Vegas Strip these couples dream big for their big day. Celebrity event planner Julie Pryor (Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross) and celebrity flower designer Larry Flachs (Oprah Winfrey, Halle Berry, Catherine Zeta Jones) offer their expertise in planning the extravagant weddings showcased throughout the 12-episode series. Platinum Weddings is produced by Film Garden.

Bride vs. Bride is a true life competition series that pits family against family in wedding themed challenges, all in a bid to win cash and prizes for their upcoming nuptials.

In the end both brides attack a giant wedding cake, for the amount of time indicated on their bridal clock, digging for cash and prizes hidden throughout the confection. The six episodes of Bride vs. Bride run one hour each and are produced by North South Productions.
