The good stuff

  • Messages:

    The series celebrates couples whose devotion to each other has endured the test of time. Families and friends rally in support of the bride and groom and pitch in to ensure that their wedding day is memorable.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    No violence, but the couples' stories can get a bit intense and emotional, touching on topics like injury, family crisis, death of a loved one, and war.
  • Sex:

    Lots of mild kissing, hugging, and other displays of affection. 
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Show sponsors and donors (Nationwide Insurance, for instance) are mentioned by name within the show.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Adults sometimes drink champagne at wedding receptions.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Wedding Day

Parents need to know that kids and tweens probably won't be too interested in this reality series, which treats couples who've battled adversity to the wedding of their dreams. Adults and possibly some teens will be touched by the couples' devotion to each other through difficult times -- but be sure to keep the tissues handy for the emotional tales, which run the gamut of injury, family crisis, death of a loved one, and even war. There's some social drinking and mention of show sponsors, as well as plenty of affectionate hugging and kissing.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about relationships. What shared characteristics do you think are important in a good relationship? What examples of strong relationships do you have in your life? What do you admire about them? How do devoted couples weather challenges that arise?
  • Families can also talk about how the media portrays marriage. Do you think it’s an accurate reflection of society’s views? Parents, take this opportunity to give kids a reality check about weddings vs. marriage. The wedding is only the first day of the rest of a couple's life, so remind kids that that's not what it's all about.
