Hey, ladies! I got back at midnight last night after being in LA for several days pitching the Offbeat Bride tv show to networks. Now I'm diving into an insane week of work ... so posting will be lighter from me this week as I try to get caught up. My beloved Offbeat Intern Megan will be keeping y'all entertained with fresh Real Offbeat Weddings, though ... so never fear!

Well … are you gonna tell us how it went?
Hibryd said
Hmm, is it still offbeat if it's on TV? And is your wedding really not a contest if the best and most photogenic ones are going to get cameras to show up?
Seriously, though, I'm for any antithesis of "Bridezillas" or "Platinum Weddings" getting made into a show. (Although "My Big Redneck Wedding" on CMT may qualify.)
Hibryd said
And yes, if you can spill any details, please let us know how it went! Wow. Getting a TV show… even being able to pitch one, what a breakthrough!
MauryLorraine said
An OBB show? YES PLEASE.
Lani said
Cool! Can I be a guest? I'll bring candy.
Suzanna said
Dude! Yes. Awesome.
Cat said
Can you make sure that makes it to Aussie tv? Or at least download-able
Kristen said
DUDE! That's crazy awesome! If it happens, hopefully it will be on a channel I get. (I don't have WE)

That would be the best wedding show ever. Most of them suck right now.
between "say yes to the dress" ( a little black on the seams? how revolutionary!) and Bridezillas (need I say more?) the tv wedding market needs a little spice.

Have you seen a series called 'Don't Tell The Bride' its on UK terrestrial TV – you can find it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0089hv7
Not so much related but an interesting idea, get some (a lot of) money but no involvement from the bride in the wedding planning – interesting turn table on the 'traditional' role
Don't know where i'm going with that, call it random information…
