DRAG QUEENS TO THE RESCUE IN TLC'S NEW WEDDING SPECIAL "DRAG ME DOWN THE AISLE"

-- Larger-than-Life Special Premieres March 9 at 9/8c, Following Say Yes to The Dress--

(Silver Spring, MD) - TLC turns fantasy into reality in DRAG ME DOWN THE AISLE, an all-new wedding special following four of America's most beloved drag queens coming to the rescue as they make it their mission to help a struggling bride salvage her big day. Premiering Saturday, March 9 at 9/8c, this journey to the altar is a fun and emotional roller coaster ride filled with laughter, tears, frustration and joy that will surely have viewers rooting for a happily ever after.

"TLC is the home of weddings and we are always looking for new ways to expand in the space that will appeal to a broader audience, beyond the bride-to-be," said Howard Lee, President and General Manager for TLC. "DRAG ME DOWN THE AISLE hits the mark. The show is outrageous, loud and full of surprises, all while offering viewers an inspirational journey that ends in a heartwarming transformation."

Every bride wants to feel special on her big day and Emily is no different. She is newly engaged, head-over-heels in love with her fiancé and excited to get married; but deeply rooted body image issues have her second guessing her "dream" dress, and an extremely tight budget has not allowed her the fairytale wedding she had hoped for. Emily, an Amish Country bride who is typically most comfortable in flannel, jeans and no make-up, desperately wants to step it up for her wedding day and knows she needs some serious help!

Determined to turn things around, and despite feeling nervous over her uber-conservative parents' reaction, Emily enlists BeBe Zahara Benet, Thorgy Thor, Jujubee and Alexis Michelle as her own personal team of drag queen wedding experts who will have three short weeks to save the day. Jumping in quickly, the queens whisk her away on a wedding adventure full of surprises, helping Emily to step into a new look and newfound confidence as these unlikely experts go to work transforming her ordinary wedding reception into the fantasy affair she never saw coming. From the dress to the venue to the inner glow a bride always strives for, these unsuspecting and colorful wedding experts will need to use every trick in their bag to make sure Emily slays her special day! With the help of her new friends, she'll brush off her boring and find herself strutting down the aisle like the Queen she always had hiding inside.
