A+E Networks UK has commissioned a South African version of the reality series
Four Weddings after signing a deal with ITV Studios Global
Entertainment for the format. The series is being produced by Rapid Blue and will
premiere later in 2015.
This is the first locally commissioned series for Lifetime in Africa, and the second
for A+E Networks UK, which launched Pawn Stars South Africa on the
History channel in October 2014.
Heather Jones, VP of programming at A+E Networks UK, said: “’We are delighted to
announce a South African version of this very entertaining series. Every local
production of Four Weddings has created a “talk about’ piece of TV and
we expect the same for Africa.’
The show follows four opinionated and competitive brides who think their weddings
are better than anyone else’s. The brides attend each other’s weddings and score on
four important components: venue, food, dress and overall experience. The bride
with the highest score wins an indulgent honeymoon, along with the pride of having
the best wedding.
Lifetime is looking for brides-to-be to enter Four Weddings South
Africa. Interested participants getting married in Gauteng between February
and June 2015, can email fourweddings@rapidblue.com to receive an entry form.
