MySpace Will Throw Your Wedding for the Price of Your Soul

by Chad Mumm on March 30, 2009 at 09:41 AM


We know what you're thinking... "It's my wedding day and it should be perfect." So, why not let millions of MySpace members decide on every detail? It seems that the Web 2.0 has finally hit weddings, although this one comes tethered to enough corporate sponsorships to field a PGA Tour event.

'Married on MySpace' is a new online reality show where voters can select one lucky(?) couple to win an all-expenses-paid wedding, courtesy of MySpace, wedding site The Knot, and Disney. The 13-webisode series begins on May 15th and will follow the chosen couple through the planning process, with every detail -- from the bachelor party to the dress -- determined by MySpace voters. The show is being produced by the same company that brought you 'Fear Factor,' 'Extreme Makeover,' and 'Big Brother,' so expect plenty of cheesy drama and dramatic music.

Think you and your fiance have the sweetest proposal story ever? You can submit a video explaining why, here. The shenanigans start in May with the announcement of the winning couple.

No amount of money would justify giving up our weddings to the masses, but there are plenty of people online who need the attention. Meanwhile, we'll keep our digital dating to sheepish Facebook pokes and Down to Earth memberships. [From: TechCrunch]
