Four Weddings is a British reality television series that premiered on Sky Living, on 6 July 2009. It has become popular enough to have inspired the creations of versions in other countries, including the United States.
Format
The programme follows a similar style to Come Dine with Me, and involves four brides, or four grooms, attending each other's weddings and rating them on:
- Dress (out of 10)
- Venue (out of 10)
- Food (out of 10)
- Overall Experience (out of 10)
At the end of the show, the four brides or grooms discover which of the couples has won a luxury honeymoon. Viewers can also play online in the "Online wedding rater" and rate the weddings as they are shown for comparison with the rest of the public.
