TLC EXPANDS BRIDAL PARTY TO THURSDAY NIGHTS

FOUR WEDDINGS Says "I Do" to Thursday Nights

[Los Angeles, CA] -- TLC is home to the most popular wedding programming on TV and the network announced today they are adding another night of nuptials to the schedule. The network's wedding related content is the #1 destination for W 18-34 on ad-supported cable, transforming Friday's into BrideDay. With that success, TLC is now expanding the bridal party to Thursday nights, kicking off with the Season 4 premiere of FOUR WEDDINGS on Thursday, July 19th at 9PM ET/PT.

TLC plans to air two new FOUR WEDDINGS episodes back to back at 9PM and 10 PM following the same hit-format bridalphiles have come to love. In each hour-long episode, four brides with their own personal styles and traditions agree to attend and judge each other's weddings on the basis of food, dress, venue, originality, and overall experience. The winning bride is awarded a five-star dream honeymoon.

This season will highlight some of the most outrageous, original, over-the-top, and even humorous weddings around, and Season 4 broadens the RSVP list to include locations shot in both the US and Canada. Viewers can look forward to experiencing all kinds of unique wedding elements- an Elvis impersonator, bull riding and "flash mob" receptions, Cinco-De-Mayo wedding with an all-female mariachi band, and a walk down a plastic red carpet.

FOUR WEDDINGS is produced by ITV Productions for TLC. Executive Producer is Richard Vagg.
