Don’t Tell the Bride – calling all would-be Groomzillas!

Ciara Crossan — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 14:00:05 +0000

Has everyone seen the new Denny Ad on the TV that features the real-life morning of the wedding scene? We put out the call for couples to feature on the ad last year and I think the ad turned out really well.

Now, we have more info about a TV opportunity for some couple, COCO Television is developing a new TV series called ‘Dont Tell The Bride‘ for RTE television, based on the BBC show of the same name. They are looking for couples who want to get married and in return they get €10,000 towards the wedding. But, there’s a twist! The GROOM has to arrange the wedding on his own, every detail, even down to the dress!

They will be looking to present 4 fantastic couples to RTE in the next 6 weeks, with filming happening over the summer/autumn. Timescales are very flexible so if you are interested at all, pick up the phone and chat to them about the opportunity!

If you are interested in being on d’telly and getting RTE to foot the bill for some of your wedding expenses, then contact Nicola on 01 4970817, or e mail info@cocotelevision.ie. Good luck!

Today is her Big Day

Ciara Crossan — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 12:00:28 +0000

Today is my cousin’s wedding day and I am off out of the office and attending to her every need as one of her bridesmaids! I was so chuffed to be asked and this is my first time as a bridesmaid so its extra special for me. I had to go on an intensive diet & exercise plan for the last 6 weeks just to fit into the dress!! Elaine and I are only a year apart and were so close growing up. She started going out with (her, now husband!) Gearoid when she was in her Leaving Cert in school and they have both come along way since, through travelling, college and exams and buying their first home together.

The Bride-To-Be at her Hen Party

I want to wish them both all the happiness in the world and as I write this I am crossing my fingers and toes for nice weather and a beautiful day for them both.

Normal blogging will resume next week – with a low down from the wedding and hopefully some pics to boot!
