THE BATTLE COMES TO AN END AS THE REMAINGING COUPLES ON VH1'S "WEDDING WARS" FIGHT FOR THE WEDDING OF THEIR DREAMS

The Finale of "Wedding Wars" Premieres on Monday, May 16 at 11:30 PM ET/PT

SANTA MONICA, CA - May 10, 2011 - Tears have been shed and relationships have been tested as the couples of "Wedding Wars" have endured the long, hard, mosquito-bitten battle for the wedding of their dreams. For the past nine weeks, viewers have watched 12 engaged couples face extreme challenges and harsh living conditions while competing for incredible prizes and a destination wedding. But as the competition draws to an end, there are only three couples left to duke it out and no one wants to lose the war now.

The final three couples are Mario and Melinda, Rich and Marina and Joseph and Elsie - and none of them are willing to surrender. In the finale episode, the three couples will enter their final security challenge: the men work to save their fianc�s, who are stranded in the ocean on floating treadmills. Each of the three couples fight to win one of the final two spots and the chance to decide which couple gets voted off next. After, the remaining two couples enter their final chapel ceremony. They'll be shocked to learn that their fate falls into the hands of those who they have defeated, the 10 previously eliminated couples. After tough questions and brutal confrontations, the couples vote and the winner will be revealed. The winning couple will be whisked off to get dressed for their dream destination wedding, where they'll be surrounded by friends and family. Have the past contestants forgiven and forgotten about the betrayals that lead to their elimination? Or are bridges still burned? Find out who wins the wedding war on the season finale Monday, May 16 at 11:30 PM ET/PT.
