Engaged Couples Will 'Race to the Altar' on NBC

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - The pitch for NBC's newest unscripted series may have gone something like, "It's 'The Amazing Race' meets the 'Today Show' wedding."
That's the gist of "Race to the Altar," in which 16 soon-to-be-married couples will compete for a "fantasy primetime wedding" with a guest list that includes millions of TV viewers. NBC is planning for a spring or summer debut for the eight-episode series.
"This is a reality show that will take the trials and tribulations of preparing for a wedding and push it to the limit," says Jeff Gaspin, who oversees alternative series for NBC.
The 16 couples who take part in the show will compete in a series of challenges designed to test the strength of their relationships. Games will involve issues of trust, compromise and teamwork.
"We have 16 couples who feel they're ready to commit to one another for better or for worse. I think it will be quite telling how those relationships hold up under the strain of the challenges we'll throw at them," Gaspin says.
One or more couples will be eliminated with each episode, presumably leaving them to plan a not-for-broadcast wedding on their own. In the next-to-last week, the audience will vote on which remaining couple it wants to see get married. Their wedding will take place in the show's finale.
