DURING MY CAREER I HAVE BEEN A VIABLE COMPONENT TO MANY WEDDINGS LARGE AND SMALL IN THE ROLES OF PLANNING, CONSULTING, AND DIRECTING. NEEDLESS TO SAY I LOVE WEDDINGS AND I AM VERY EXCITED TO BE THE HOST OF THIS NEW TELEVISION SHOW, WHICH IS A BRAND NEW CONCEPT TO THE TRI-CITIES AREA. EACH EPISODE WE WILL CONNECT AREA WEDDING PROFESSIONALS WITH CURRENT AND FUTURE BRIDES AND GROOMS. THINK OF IT LIKE A WEEKLY BRIDAL SHOW RIGHT IN YOUR LIVING ROOM WITHOUT ALL THE STRESS AND THE ONE ON ONE SALES PITCHES. TELEVISION ISN'T THE ONLY OUTLET THAT WE WILL BE AIRING EPISODES THAT'S RIGHT; EACH EPISODE WILL BE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE WEDBLISS DOT TV, YOUTUBE, FACEBOOK AND TWITTER. AREA WEDDING PROFESSIONALS ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEW FORM OF ADVERTISING AS IT ALLOWS THEM TO PRESENT THEMSELF AND THEIR CRAFT IN A NEW FORWARD THINKING AND PROGRESSIVE MANNER. FUTURE WEDDING COUPLES ARE ALSO VERY EXCITED TO HAVE THIS NEW PROGRAM AVAILABLE BECAUSE IT WILL BE VERY RESOURCEFUL AND THEY CAN CONNECT TO THEIR VENDORS PERSONALITIES ON AIR. WEDBLISS IS THE NEXT BIG THING TO HIT THIS AREA AND WE WOULD LOVE TO INVITE YOU TO SEE WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PILOT IS TO SHOW YOU A GLIMPSE OF THE CONTENT, FORMAT, AND TO SEEK SPONSORS AND ADVERTISERS. THIS EPISODE IS NOT FULLY POLISHED. IT'S A PILOT, A ROUGH SKETCH IF YOU WILL BUT YOU WILL BE HEARING FROM SOME AREA WEDDING PROFESSIONALS AS WELL AS A RECENT BRIDE AND GROOM.

I'M STACEY EUBANKS AND WE ARE JOINED TODAY BY BRANDI WOODALL WITH POSITIVE APPROACH EVENTS AND BRANDI'S GOING TO TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HER EVENT PLANNING SERVICES AS WELL AS THE OTHER SERVICES OFFERED FROM HER COMPANY. SO THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US TODAY. (BRANDI) THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. (STACEY) AND WE APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING YOUR EXPERTISE, AND I'M SURE WE COULD TALK FOR A VERY LONG TIME ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES THAT YOU AND I BOTH SHARE IN PLANNING WEDDINGS. (BRANDI) ABSOLUTELY (STACEY) IF YOU COULD TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR COMPANY AND IT'S FOCUS ON WEDDINGS AND WHAT SERVICES YOU PROVIDE TO BRIDES. (BRANDI) OKAY, WE ACTUALLY STARTED IN JONESBOROUGH IN 2007 AND INITIALLY IT WAS JUST KIND OF A PART TIME AND WE STARTED OUT DOING A FEW WEDDINGS DAY OF COORDINATION'S A REALLY BIG HIT WITH US. SO WE GET A LOT OF DAY OF COORDINATION. BUT WE'VE KIND OF EXPANDED OUR SERVICES AND NOW WE DO EVERYTHING AS WE LIKE TO SAY FROM CONCEPT TO CLEAN UP AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN THERE, A LOT OF DETAILS IN THERE. SO TO DATE WE'VE DONE I CAN'T EVEN COUNT HOW MANY WEDDINGS. (STACEY) WELL I THINK ITS FUNNY ON YOUR WEBSITE AS PEOPLE GO TO YOUR WEBSITE AND IT SAYS WE DO EVERYTHING BUT KISS THE BRIDE. (BRANDI) IT'S TRUE. (LAUGHTER) (BRANDI) IT'S TRUE. (STACEY) SO HOW IMPORTANT DO YOU BELIEVE WEDBLISS IS TO THE VENDORS SUCH AS YOURSELF IN THE AREA AS WELL AS THE BRIDES OF THE TRI-CITIES AND IT'S MOVING FORWARD AND ITS FOCUS AND HOW IMPORTANT DO YOU SEE THAT BEING AS A CONCEPT IN THE AREA? (BRANDI) I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT WEDBLISS TV WHEN I HEARD ABOUT IT. BECAUSE IT'S NEW, IT'S FRESH. IT'S SOMETHING THAT HASN'T BEEN DONE IN OUR REGION AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. BECAUSE SO MANY BRIDES NOW DAYS DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO FLIP OPEN A MAGAZINE. THEY'RE NOT PAYING ANY ATTENTION TO A BILLBOARD AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET MAILERS. I MEAN THEY'RE A MULTITUDE OF WAYS THAT PEOPLE MARKET. BUT WHAT THEY WILL DO WITH WEDBLISS TV THE FACT THAT IT'S ARCHIVED IS THAT THEY CAN GO IN AND RESEARCH IT. THEY CAN ACTUALLY GO BACK AND WATCH THE EPISODES FOR IT. SO IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT SOMEBODY, THEIR GRANDMA SAW ON WEDBLISS TV SHE'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO SAY YOU SHOULD CHECK THIS OUT. SO I THINK ITS VERY IMPORTANT AS A VENDOR TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ON A SHOW LIKE WEDBLISS TV. (STACEY) WELL VERY GOOD. WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. WE'RE VERY EXCITED YOU GOT TO COME AND TELL US ABOUT YOUR SERVICES AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN IN THE FUTURE AND HOPEFULLY YOU CAN SEND US SOME OF YOUR BRIDE AND GROOMS WE CAN HEAR SOME MORE WONDERFUL STORIES AND JUST THANK YOU AGAIN. WE JUST APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. (BRANDI) THANK YOU SO MUCH STACEY. (MUSIC) (MUSIC) (STACEY) INTERESTED IN ADVERTISING WITH WEDBLISS, WANT YOUR COMMERCIAL TO AIR IN THIS SPACE? VISIT WEDBLISS DOT TV SLASH OPPORTUNITIES FOR MORE INFORMATION. [COMMERCIAL] (MUSIC) (STACEY) HI AND WELCOME BACK TO WEDBLISS. I'M STACEY EUBANKS AND I AM LOOKING STUNNING TODAY BECAUSE OF THIS LADY RIGHT HERE. REN ALLEN IS WITH US TODAY AND SHE IS A MAKEUP ARTIST. SHE'S BEEN A MAKEUP ARTIST FOR OVER TEN YEARS AND SHE'S GOING TO SHARE SOME OF HER EXPERIENCES WITH US AND STORIES ABOUT WORKING WITH BRIDES AND OFFER SOME ADVICE AND TIPS FOR US. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE REN. WE APPRECIATE YOU. (REN) THANK YOU (STACEY) AND THANK YOU FOR THIS LOVELY AIRBRUSH JOB THAT YOU'VE DONE TODAY. (REN) YOU'RE SO WELCOME. THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT INTRODUCTION. (STACEY) WELL I NEED YOU EVERYDAY. (REN) I CAN BE BOUGHT. (LAUGHTER) (STACEY) WELL TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR SERVICES AND WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR BRIDES THAT ARE PLANNING WEDDINGS AND LEADING UP TO THE EVENT AND AS WELL AS THE DAY OF THE EVENT. (REN) ABSOLUTELY I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR BRIDES TO CONSIDER THE MAKEUP. IT'S ONE OF THE LAST THINGS THEY THINK ABOUT. BUT YOU'RE PAYING A LOT OF MONEY FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND OR VIDEO AND YOU WANT TO LOOK FLAWLESS, BOTH IN PERSON AND OF COURSE FOR THOSE HEIRLOOMS, ARCHIVED PHOTOS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP AND PASS DOWN. SO IT'S SOMETHING TO REALLY THINK ABOUT. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO APPROACH YOUR MAKEUP FOR YOUR WEDDING? ARE YOU GOING TO HIRE A MAKEUP ARTIST? IF NOT WHAT ARE YOUR OTHER ALTERNATIVES? AND WHEN YOU DO HIRE A MAKEUP ARTIST LIKE MYSELF, YOU HAVE IN PERSON CONSULTATION, YOU HAVE A STUDIO TO COME TO AND DO YOUR PRETRIAL. SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK THAT DAY THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE HAPPY WITH THE MAKEUP. IT'S GOING TO FIT YOUR PERSONAL STYLE AND THEN YOU OF COURSE HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF ON LOCATION SERVICES THE DAY OF YOUR WEDDING, SO THAT I COME TO YOU AND I THINK THAT'S THE MOST RELAXED BRIDE, WHEN YOU MAKE EVERYONE COME TO YOU. YOUR HAIR PEOPLE, YOUR MAKEUP PEOPLE CATER TO YOU, WORK AROUND YOUR SCHEDULE AND JUST BE RELAXED THAT DAY. WELL GREAT THIS IS WONDERFUL INFORMATION AND OF COURSE I'M JUST FEELING WONDERFUL RIGHT NOW WITH MY AIRBRUSH MAKEUP ON. SO I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT. OKAY SO IF YOU COULD TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK OF WEDBLISS AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO THE TRI-CITIES AND THE VENDORS OF THIS AREA. (REN) I THINK THIS IS SUCH A FANTASTIC AND UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL OF US IN THE WEDDING INDUSTRY AND FOR THIS REGION TO GET INFORMATION IN A WHOLE NEW VERY PROGRESSIVE MANNER. IT JUST OFFERS SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR NETWORKING, AND INFORMATION FOR BRIDES, AND BRIDES TO BE THAT WE'VE NEVER SEEN HERE BEFORE. SO VERY EXCITING, VERY HAPPY TO BE PART OF IT. (STACEY) GREAT, WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE. [MUSIC] (STACEY) CLOSED CAPTIONING FOR WEDBLISS COULD BE SPONSORED BY YOU. PLEASE VISIT WEDBLISS DOT TV SLASH OPPORTUNITIES FOR DETAILS. (MUSIC) (STACEY) HI, WELCOME BACK TO WEDBLISS. I'M STACEY EUBANKS AND WITH ME IS MARTHA PAINTER AND MARTHA'S GOING TO TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HER WEDDING SERVICE THAT SHE PROVIDES WHICH IS HARPSTRINGS AND SO MARTHA WELCOME. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE AND IF YOU COULD JUST TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SERVICE THAT YOU DO PROVIDE OF PLAYING THE HARP AND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT (MARTHA) THANK YOU STACEY.

I DO PROVIDE ELEGANT MUSIC FOR SPECIAL EVENTS SUCH AS WEDDING CEREMONIES, DINNER RECEPTION, BRIDAL T'S, REHEARSAL DINNER AND SO FORTH.

YOU CAN ALSO ORDER A CD PACKAGE THAT INCLUDES A SAMPLER OF SOME OF MY SELECTIONS AND YOU CAN REQUEST A WORKSHEET AND A SAVE THE DATE FORM, WHICH ALLOWS US TO GO AHEAD AND BOOK THE WEDDING DATE. (STACEY)SO FAR WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS WHOLE CONCEPT WEDBLISS AND HOW IMPORTANT DO YOU THINK IT IS TO YOUR BUSINESS AS WELL AS TO THE TRI-CITIES WEDDING VENDORS AROUND THE REGION? (MARTHA) I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT WEDBLISS. I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA AND IT'S THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN THIS REGION. I KNOW THAT THE BRIDES ARE ALWAYS SO EXCITED ABOUT ANY TYPE OF RESEARCH TOOL THAT THEY CAN USE AND I THINK THIS WILL BE A GREAT TOOL FOR THEM. BECAUSE IT'S A REOCCURRING VISIT THEY CAN HAVE WITH WEDDING PROFESSIONALS AND IT'S EXCELLENT TO BE ABLE TO SEE AND TO HEAR WHAT THEY, THE VENDORS HAVE TO OFFER AND I THINK IT WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE IN OTHER RESOURCES ONLINE AND SO FORTH. SO IT'S A GREAT REOCCURRING ADVERTISEMENT. (STACEY) VERY GOOD. WELL THANK YOU. WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE WITH US. [MUSIC] (STACEY) CALLING ALL BRIDES AND GROOMS WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR FEATURED WEDDING COUPLES, RECENTLY MARRIED, OR NOT VISIT WEDBLISS DOT TV SLASH COUPLES FOR MORE INFORMATION. [MUSIC] (STACEY) HI WELCOME BACK TO WEDBLISS. I'M STACEY EUBANKS AND WITH ME TODAY ARE RECENT BRIDE AND GROOM DEREK AND ANGELA RHOTON. THEY'RE WITH US TODAY. FOUR MONTHS AS NEWLYWEDS, CONGRATULATIONS. (ANGELA) THANK YOU. (STACEY) THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. WE'RE VERY GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE. FIRST OF ALL WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE PROPOSAL? EVERYBODY ALWAYS WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT THE PROPOSAL AND WANT TO SEE THE RING. IT'S SO FUNNY AS SOON AS YOU GET ENGAGED EVERYBODY ASKS WHEN YOU GETTING MARRIED, AND THEN WHEN YOU GET MARRIED THEY WANT TO KNOW WHEN YOU'RE HAVING A BABY. SO GET READY, GET READY FOR THE QUESTION. BUT TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROPOSAL. (DEREK) THE PROPOSAL HAD A LITTLE BIT OF HELP. THE PLAN WAS I RENTED A CABIN IN PIGEON FORGE. I TOOK HER OUT TO DINER AND HAD SOME PEOPLE COME INTO THE CABIN AND DECORATE WHILE I WAS GONE. BUT I HAD WRITTEN ON SOME SCROLLS ABOUT 14 SCROLLS KIND OF THE STORY OF US, HOW WE MET, AND LITTLE IMPORTANT MOMENTS THROUGHOUT OUR DATING AND THEY ALL HAD A SINGLE ROSE WITH EACH SCROLL AND LED TO A BIGGER BOUQUET OF FLOWERS WHERE THE RING WAS. (STACEY) OH, THAT'S WONDERFUL. NOW WERE YOU SURPRISED OR DID YOU KIND OF SEE IT COMING OR JUST COMPLETELY TAKEN ABACK? (ANGELA) I WAS TAKEN BACK. I HAD NO CLUE, NO CLUE WHATSOEVER. (STACEY) SO HE DID VERY WELL. (ANGELA) HE DID, HE DID. (STACEY) GOOD, THAT'S VERY EXCITING. NOW YOU KNOW MOST PEOPLE HAVE THE LONG ENGAGEMENT. YOU KNOW WE HEAR THE TYPICAL ENGAGEMENT TIME IS A YEAR LONG AND IN YOUR CASE IT WAS ACTUALLY A YEAR TO THE DATE CORRECT? (ANGELA) YES IT WAS. (STACEY) FROM THE DAY YOU GOT ENGAGED TO THE WEDDING WAS ACTUALLY A YEAR SO GOOD FOR YOU FOR STICKING WITH THAT SCHEDULE OF ONE YEAR. IN YOUR PLANNING PROCESS IF YOU COULD TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE VENDORS THAT YOU WORKED WITH AND THE EXPERIENCE THEY LEFT YOU WITH AND SOME OF THE MEMORIES AND FRIENDSHIPS YOUR GOING TO CONTINUE WITH YOUR VENDORS. (ANGELA) WE USED SEVERAL LOCAL VENDORS. WE HAD PRATT'S FOR OUR CATERING. THEY DID A WONDERFUL JOB. THE TABLE LOOKED WONDERFUL, VERY ELEGANT AND VERY TASTEFUL. WE ALSO USED DENA FLEENOR FOR OUR PHOTOGRAPHY. SHE DID SUCH A WONDERFUL JOB FROM DAY ONE. DEANA HAD ME COME AND MEET WITH HER. WE SAT DOWN AT A LITTLE COFFEE SHOP IN BRISTOL. SHE ALSO DID MY BRIDAL PORTRAITS AS WELL. SO WE JUST, WE GREW TOGETHER AND CREATED A VERY CLOSE BOND WITH ONE ANOTHER. SO WE ALSO WORKED A LOT WITH BRANDI AND TRAVIS WOODALL. WE BOOKED WITH THE VENUE AT THE KING CENTER AND THAT'S WHERE WE HAD OUR RECEPTION AND THEY DID A WONDERFUL JOB. (STACEY) GREAT WELL DID YOU HAVE ANY VIDEOGRAPHY? (ANGELA) YES WE DID. (STACEY) YOU MENTIONED PHOTOGRAPHER I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU HAD VIDEO AS WELL. (ANGELA) OUR VIDEOGRAPHER WAS WONDERFUL, TRAVIS WYATT. HE'S OUT OF CHURCH HILL. HE DID A WONDERFUL JOB. (STACEY) GREAT AND YOU KNOW YOU MENTIONED PRATT'S I THINK A LOT OF FOLKS DON'T REALIZE WHAT A GREAT JOB THEY DO AT CATERING. IT'S NOT JUST THERE WONDERFUL BARBEQUE THAT THEY OFFER. SO I'VE WORKED WITH THEM ON MANY WEDDINGS AND THEY'RE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH, VERY TASTEFUL. WHAT WAS THE FIRST THING YOU DID IN YOUR PLANNING, YOU KNOW AS FAR AS WHAT'S YOU HEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU SHOULD DO FIRST AND WHAT YOU SHOULD BOOK FIRST. WHAT WAS THE FIRST THING YOU DID? (ANGELA) THE VERY FIRST THING, I THINK IT WAS ABOUT TWO OR THREE WEEKS RIGHT AFTER HE PROPOSED WE WENT AHEAD AND STARTED LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENT VENUES. WE WENT AHEAD AND BOOKED THE CHAPEL AND ALSO BOOKED WITH BRANDI AND TRAVIS AT THE VENUE. WE WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD BOTH PLACES BOOKED AND READY TO GO. SO THAT'S WHERE WE STARTED AND THEN ONTO THE DRESS. (STACEY) ONTO THE DRESS, YES VERY EXCITING. SO WERE YOU ABLE TO KEEP THE DRESS AWAY FROM HIM BEFORE THE WEDDING DAY? (ANGELA) I WAS. (STACEY) GOOD, GOOD. STUCK WITH TRADITION THERE. SO LEADING UP TO THE BIG DAY IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY, ANY ADVICE THAT YOU'VE GOT FOR BRIDES THAT ARE PLANNING THEIR WEDDING, POTENTIAL BRIDES THAT ARE THEY'RE GOING TO BE PLANNING SOON OR RECENTLY ENGAGED, IS THERE ANY THING ANY BIT OF ADVICE THAT YOU CAN OFFER THEM EITHER AS THE BRIDE OR AS THE GROOM THAT YOU CAN SHARE WITH US? (ANGELA) I WOULD HAVE TO SAY YOU KNOW DON'T WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE. YOU KNOW PLAN ACCORDINGLY, LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT VENUES AND CATERS. IF YOU HAVE YOUR HEART TRULY SET ON SOMEONE, THEN YOU NEED TO GO AND BOOK WITH THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IF NOT YOU KNOW YOUR HEART MAY BE LET DOWN BECAUSE YOU MAY NOT GET YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHO YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE. SO THERE WILL BE BUMPS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PLANNING PROCESS BUT YOU JUST HAVE TO LEARN YOU KNOW TO CARRY ON AND JUST DO THE BEST YOU CAN AND YOU KNOW ENJOY THE PROCESS. SO IF YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WATCHING WEDBLISS BACK WHEN YOU WERE PLANNING DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A BIG HELP TO YOU? (ANGELA) WELL FIRST OFF WHEN I DID HEAR ABOUT THE SHOW I WAS VERY EXCITED. HAVING THIS SHOW WHEN I, YOU KNOW HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAN MY WEDDING AND EVERYTHING IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY USEFUL I THINK OF BEING ABLE TO JUST TURN ON THE TV AND BE ABLE TO SEE THE DIFFERENT VENDORS. YOU KNOW OF COURSE WE THERE'S TONS OF BRIDAL SHOWS. BUT FOR THE SIMPLE FACT OF JUST BEING ABLE TO HAVE LOCAL VENDORS AND NOT NECESSARILY THE MAGAZINES THAT HAVE THINGS FROM YOU KNOW ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES AND SO IT'S REALLY NICE TO HAVE A TV SHOW THAT'S GEARED AROUND JUST YOU KNOW YOUR LOCAL AREA IN THE TRI-CITIES. I JUST THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT TO HAVE HAD THAT SO. (STACEY) WELL GREAT. WE'RE GLAD YOU'VE BEEN A PART OF THE SHOW TODAY AND YOUR, VERY GLAD THAT YOU SHARED YOUR STORY WITH US. IT WAS VERY HEARTWARMING AND WE WISH YOU NOTHING BUT THE BEST. THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF WEDBLISS AND YOU KNOW WE LOOK FORWARD TO ACTUALLY SEEING THE SHOW AND YOU CAN GO SHOW IT TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND RELIVE THE MOMENTS AGAIN. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. (DEREK AND ANGELA) THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.
