PASADENA, CA — The world knows her as an icon, but she's also a devoted daughter and friend and now a newlywed. In the brand-new original series, "Shannen Says," premiering Tuesday, April 3 at 9pm ET/PT, WE tv reveals a woman with substance and a sense of humor as she takes viewers on the hilariously bumpy ride of planning her wedding.
Eight hour-long episodes of "Shannen Says" follow Shannen and her groom-to-be, famed photographer Kurt Iswarienko — two busy career-focused individuals with strong and often conflicting viewpoints — as they plan for their special day. Wedding preparations are sure to be stressful enough, but they've added to the pressure by allotting only seven weeks to get it all done! Pre-wedding jitters, a career-distracted groom, family turmoil and wardrobe malfunctions should be enough to make them pull the plug — but maybe love will conquer all in "Shannen Says."
After being engaged for over a year, Shannen and Kurt finally set a wedding date and did we already mention it's only seven weeks away? Shannen and Kurt are new to actual wedding planning and being from very different backgrounds with loyal sets of opinionated friends and family, they have quite an undertaking ahead of them.
Viewers will witness a multitude of difficult, dramatic and comical moments when these two lovebirds set out to celebrate their union, all-the-while juggling their careers and keeping the peace at home. When the stress becomes almost too much to bear, Shannen enlists event planner to the stars and "My Fair Wedding" host, David Tutera, to help bring her vision to life. Most wedding planning includes a hefty dose of drama and in "Shannen Says" viewers see every bump in the rocky road along the way.
Highlights include:
• Finding that perfect dress for the big day is not easy, so Shannen picks three!
• Shannen's "Dancing with the Stars" partner Louis Van Amstel is set to help the couple with their first dance.
• As the big day approaches, Shannen is having a tough time coming to terms with the fact that her father won't be there to walk her down the aisle.
• Two weeks before the wedding, Kurt accepts not one but two jobs overseas leaving Shannen to question if they are ready to take the next step.
