Who's Wedding Is It Anyway? 8Premiered: Monday, 4 May 2009 at 11h00
A new eighth season of the reality show that follows two different wedding planners each week as they brave their way through the drama of planning the perfect wedding.
Episodes in May are as follows:
Monday, 4 May 2009And They Lived Happily Ever AfterIt’s an all-new take on “fantasy football” when NFL tight-end Daniel Wilcox makes history by throwing the first wedding ever to be held on the 50-yard line of the Baltimore Ravens stadium.
And it’s a real dream come true for his fiancée when her fairy-tale theme comes to life, from the ten-foot storybook at the reception entry, to the Cinderella-styled horse-drawn carriage that takes her to the altar.
Plus, a California couple featured on The Style Network’s “I Propose” seals the deal by returning to the airwaves to say “I do” on “Whose Wedding Is It Anyway?”. But living 3,000 miles away from their venue is making the weeks leading up to their wedding a nightmare – so they’ve brought in NY planner Shawn Rabideau and his team to tie up the loose ends before they tie the knot.
Monday, 11th May 2009Gold Medals & Family MattersAn Olympic gold medalist is too busy training to help plan his wedding, and when his fiancé and her Mom get in over their heads, they call upon Donnie Brown to come to the rescue. With only ten days until the impending “I do’s,” can Donnie pull things together and give the couple a wedding fit for a champion?
Plus, Linnyette Richardson-Hall has her hands full with a bride who has no idea how to plan her own wedding because she’s never attended one. To complicate the situation, the bride’s stepmother wants to be the wedding planner, and a cornucopia of family drama could overshadow the big day.
Monday, 18 May 2009Almost Audrey Hepburn & Out of Touch In TexasA wild bride wants a wedding based on “Breakfast At Tiffany’s”; a military couple from Texas faces cross-country wedding planning when they are re-stationed in North Carolina.

Plus, after finding out that the banquet hall she’ll be working in hasn’t been updated in years and could use a facelift, Linnyette Richardson-Hall pulls double duty as both wedding planner and interior decorator.
Split Ends 4Premiered: Monday, 4 May 2009 at 18h00
What happens when two stylists from completely different backgrounds and salons swap lives and clientele? Each week, two stylists armed only with their experience and reputations must swap salons and discover what it’s really like to snip with each other’s scissors.
Episodes in May are as follows:
Monday, 4th May 2009Leslie Howard & Lee Stafford Leslie, blazing with Texan glory, will swap her comfy Southern BBQ roots for unfamiliar British Tea Time territory. She’s arrogant in her own salon, but does she have the bravado to hold her own in the world of etiquette and royalty? Will her southern charm have the Brits line dancing in no time? Or will she shiver in her boots against the fashion-forward, uber-trendy city of Soho?
On the flip side, Lee Stafford, who is known as the Gordon Ramsey of hair, will travel to West Texas in the small town of Shertz. How will the ‘Texas High-End’ Cyndi’s salon handle Lee’s critiques?
After all, he has manifested an empire out of his own name. Will his devilish charm and magnetic personality help him to conquer America one state at a time? Or will they send him back to London where they give a damn?
Monday, 11 May 2009Estrella Elliott & Lauren ViccellioPunk rocker Estrella Elliott swaps with Southern Belle, Lauren Viccellio of Grapevine, Texas.
Monday, 18 May 2009JP Shaffer & Tracie KennedyJP Shaffer clings to a self-described “Peter Pan” complex, striving to be youthful, and fun. He even speaks with a faux British accent. JP Swaps with Tracie Kennedy, a married Mother of two, who is a self-proclaimed “Kitchen Beautician” who primarily cuts only children’s hair.
Monday, 25 May 2009Amy Bland & Jake Desrouchers The Steel Magnolias of Virginia vs. West Coast Rockers: Amy wants to be known for doing “fast 30-minute hair.” Jake on the other hand, is a former professional Rock musician who likes to “do his own thing,” even when it comes to hair styling.
