Watch Rich Bride, Poor Bride

Rich Bride, Poor Bride was a popular wedding reality show that aired on WE tv from 2006 to 2011. The show was hosted by David Vallee and featured wedding planners Willene Falconer and David Connolly, who helped couples plan their dream weddings within their given budgets.

The show's concept focused on the vast differences in wedding budgets between couples. Each episode featured a bride and groom with vastly different backgrounds and financial means – hence the name Rich Bride, Poor Bride. Through the show, the couples' experiences showed that love and the commitment to marriage are what truly make a wedding special.

First, the couples would meet with the wedding planners to discuss their budget, taste, and expectations. In many cases, the budget for the bride was limited, and the bride needed to compromise on some of her dreams to make them a reality.

After discussing preferences, Falconer and Connolly would propose ideas for the wedding, and the bride and groom would determine whether it met their criteria. With their creative ideas, the wedding planners aimed to ensure the couple had a beautiful and memorable wedding within their budget.

With each episode, the viewer would experience the different journeys of couples on their paths to marriage. For example, some couples chosen for the show were childhood sweethearts marrying young, or older couples preparing for their second marriage. Other couples were diverse in backgrounds or religious traditions, and the show demonstrated the different ways the wedding planners accommodated their unique needs.

Throughout the seasons, Rich Bride, Poor Bride became a fan-favorite because of its emotional and heartwarming content. The show highlighted the struggles and joys of the wedding planning journey, demonstrating to viewers that, regardless of their budget, a couple could have a perfect wedding with the right planning.

As the show progressed, it grew more popular and began featuring celebrity couples. In one episode, the famous Canadian TV personality Melissa Grelo and her husband Ryan Gaggi were featured on the show. The couple had a limited budget, as they wanted to save money for their married life. The episode allowed the couple to share some practical advice for future brides and grooms on how to prioritize expenses during the wedding planning process.

The show's success led to several spin-off series in different parts of the world, including the UK and Australia, each with their unique title. Despite the show's popularity, it ended in 2011 after five seasons of airing.

To conclude Rich Bride, Poor Bride and its team of talented wedding planners have helped many couples around the world plan their dream weddings on a budget.
