I find it interesting how something so simple can get so complicated. Everyone has a set of "rules" or "guidelines" they claim are the correct way to sort who to invite among your current friends to your upcoming wedding.
Someone should really make a reality TV show about this. People competing for a seat at a celebrity wedding. Imagine if Kim Kardashian had done this. Maybe you could mix it up and have a little bit of every reality TV on this show:
Show format:
12 people = 6 guys + 6 girls
separated into 2 teams / each team 3 guys & 3 girls
List of competitions in order they would happen:
2 weeks of Real World: both teams living together in an over sized apartment in some random town (I pick Little Rock, AR for the first season) working some really odd job like cleaning elephant poop at the elephant sanctuary. They throw 1 party each week and go out an additional 2 other times each week and celebrity guests attend these parties (like the cast of Jersey Shore one week, Real World / Road Rules perennials like Mike, Coral, Tonya, etc)
Elimination is voted through facebook. Most votes = elimination (to confuse people and purposely create controversy). Highest vote getter is booted off the show + highest vote of opposite gender from opposite team. I.E. If Mike gets voted off Team A then the other person voted off is the female from Team B with the most votes. Again more controversy due to the fact that the 2 most hated people may or may not leave the show.
(5 guys + 5 girls remain)
2 weeks of Rat Race / Amazing Race: Teams are re-made based on the votes. Lowest votes gets to pick their teammate first (must be opposite gender). Then in pairs, they are given $20 and told to find a way to get from Little Rock to Los Angeles. Clues are given and 3 pairs of tickets are hidden in different random cities. Teams can either choose find a way to LA or go to a city (presumably closer than LA) and find the tickets (Secret City Location may have 1 set of airline tickets OR 1 set of bus tickets OR 1 set of train tickets). 2 days into the competition, one individual on each team is given a clue on how to find a one-way airline ticket for themselves and if they can find it, write their name in it, they can ditch their partner and go on w/out them.
Last guy & last girl in LA gets eliminated.
(4 guys + 4 girls remain)
2 weeks of talent competitions: 1 week of singing and 1 week of dancing.
Week 1 (singing) - Internet votes for top 3 guys and top 3 girls (safe from elimination) & Bridal party chooses one participant to "save". Groomsmen vote on the girl to save, bridesmaids vote on the guy to save.
Week 2 (dancing) - internet votes for top guy & top girl & Bridal party choose 1 guy and 1 girl to save again. (same as above)
(2 guys + 2 girls remain)
2 weeks of "Meet the Parents": This is filmed the last 2 weeks prior to the wedding. Perks - The 4 remaining contestants attend family functions (i.e. rehearsal dinner, going to the bachelor / bachelorette parties, meet both sides of the family). They also get fitted for their tuxedos & dresses and get a fashion make-over with Tim Gunn.
During this final week, the 4 remaining contestants are asked to do remedial tasks by the wedding party all the way until the day before the wedding. This may include tasks such as going to the bakery & checking on the wedding cake (and of course something will not be as planned and they will have to figure out how to fix it) or last minute adjustments such as "please go to the location of the reception and tell the manager that we just increased our wedding list from 300 to 360 and make sure it is ready for this weekend"
Elimination - the night before the wedding, the contestants get to put on their wedding outfits and walk down the catwalk. The bridesmaids vote on which girl they would like to invite to the wedding the next day. Groomsmen do the same for the guy.
FINALE - each winning contestant is given a crash-course 120 min filming class the morning of the wedding and they are given a Digital Camcorder to film the wedding from their perspective. The video that sells for the highest amount to a magazine/tv/media outlet wins grand prize of $250,000
Would you watch this show?
