Four Weddings - Other Versions

Other Versions

• An American version of the show, which debuted in early 2010, is broadcast on TLC. There are usually two seasons a year; the current season, season three, debuted on 7 January 2011. The format is similar to the British version, except that it involves brides only (with the groom of the winning bride presenting the prize), an experience score, and the maximum number of points are 140. An "originality" tie-breaker score of 1 to 100 was added after Season 3 Episode 7, "Four Weddings and a Shark Tank" which ended in a tie, both brides ultimately won a vacation. Only one perfect score of 10 (for experience) has been given to a bride by rival bride in Season 4, Ep. 3 "Four Weddings and a Bouncy House".

• An Australian version of the show began airing on the Seven Network on 8 September 2010, hosted by Fifi Box. The first season used the American format and ran for only five episodes. The second season, featured eight episodes, using a new scoring system for brides, rating their opponents with only one overall score out of ten.

• A Canadian version of the show started airing in January 2012 on the Slice Network. The format is similar to the other shows in that it pins 4 brides up against one another for the chance to win a dream honeymoon. The same format applies and the brides are judged based on venue, food, dress and the overall experience. It differs slightly from its American counterpart however, in that it tends to follow more of the U.K vibe, with lots of snarky and sarcastic undertones.

• A Finnish version known as Neljät häät (Four Weddings) debuted in early spring 2011. It airs on Nelonen and follows the same format as the British version.

• A French version under the name 4 Mariages pour 1 Lune de Miel (4 Weddings for 1 Honeymoon) is broadcast on TF1. It is currently in its second series.
