Hi Clover,
I saw your post for the Best Wedding Reality Shows while searching for info on a scene from a show about 3 or 4 years ago, I encountered this while flipping channels looking for a baseball or basketball game, I\’m thinking maybe 90 Day Fiance or something in that vain but I\’m just not familiar with the genre.
The set up was a wedding ceremony with a black couple and their families in tow, they\’re getting ready to cut they cake and the gent rakishly reaches over and scoops out a chunk of cake and presents it to his wife who receives with a hesitant flourish.
She was beautiful and looked like she was too good for him and he had a nice head of hair with a goatee maybe and looked more than willing to try to make it work.
If you can remember great, if not, thanks just the same for entertaining my missive.
Hi Michael Davis,
Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed account of one of the Best Wedding Reality Shows ever. I’m sure you are referring to Four Weddings. This is one of my favorites. It’s about four unique brides with their own personal style, beliefs, and traditions. They agree to attend and judge each other’s weddings, and whoever gets the highest score wins a fabulous honeymoon in the Caribbean or beyond.
