When
Lifetime asked us to do something different with one of their Weddings
of A Lifetime prime time specials, we said "I do" and then we did. We
banished the on-site hosts and wedding experts and lost the 'in-your-face'
style of shooting. Instead, we kept the drama, the romance and the glamour
of the experience and created intimacy by allowing the couple, their families
and their friends, to tell the story in their own words. With a knack
for finding great stories, we found two doctors with two very different
backgrounds, a Jewish groom and Hindi bride. Woven throughout the show
is the story of their courtship and how these two, culturally different
families, came together after the groom suffered a life threatening illness.
Shooting mostly Beta and mixing some DV for intimacy and effect, we followed
this young couple in the days leading up to their interfaith wedding as
they participated in various rituals and last minute preparations. The
special culminates with a multi camera shoot of the ceremony and reception
at a grand and elegant stone castle. This program was one of Lifetime's
highest rated wedding specials. Jennie Garth hosts and narrates.
