That - along with an over-developed desire to please a friend or family member and the people with the television cameras - is probably an incentive to at least some. As for me, if someone had nominated me and Mr. Twistie for a show like this, not only would I have refused to participate, one name would have been removed from our eventual guest list. @ Melissa B.: At least the 'Bulging Brides' appear to nominate themselves. It's Self-loathing at its most disturbing, but at least it's their decision to make themselves ridiculous in public. @ Tara: I’m sure goods and services are provided for the couple (and the manufacturers/designers get product placement announcements for nearly free publicity) to give them a dream wedding of a currently fashionable sort.

How on earth do they plan to enforce the "break up now" half of the ultimatum, should the couple decide that it's not the right time for marriage? Ick. This is worse than "Bulging Brides."

Even if "nominated" and ambushed, what prevents the couples from just walking away? There must be some financial incentive in it for them, I'm guessing? I don’t get it.

It irks me beyond expression that not only some network executive, but a bunch of meddling busy bodies think anyone does. I shall certainly not add to the ratings of this show. @ un-bride: Since never, if you ask me.

That sounds awful. J and I have waited nearly 7 years and are getting married this summer. Everyone meddling was really getting to us because we felt like we always had to justify why we weren't married yet. I can't imagine doing that on television! Yikes! That sounds awful.
