DAY ONE

12:00pm At 12 noon sharp, 50 white doves were released into the air, to represent the 25 couples, 50 persons competing in this contest and the contest began. The 25 Brides-to-be had 60 seconds to get back inside and put their hands on the wall. 

1:00pm About 1 hour into the contest Carlo offered a $500 gift certificate from The Finest Gold Gallery to any bride-to-be that wished to leave the contest right then and there and earn a $500 prize for standing for 1 hour. To the shock of everyone, 1 girl raised her hand and accepted the prize and left. WOW!!! ...and then there were 24.. 

2:45pm It's 15min until our contestants first break followed by our first suprise challenge! We've already got one bride down, leaving twenty four energetic and determined brides to be still in the running to become the LAST BRIDE STANDING! 

3:15pm The first break is over and we start our first challenge with one girl down already! Leaving twenty four energetic and determined brides to still be in the running to become the LAST BRIDE STANDING! 

3:20pm The first challenge is "Know your Face" and all the Grooms-to-be were blindfolded and asked to touch each Bride's face to see if they can recognize their bride. Carlo as a joke stood in line too and one of the Grooms picked Carlo thinking that was his Fiancee. LOL. He got an earful after that. There were 8 winners of this competition and each won a $500 gift certificate from The Finest Gold Gallery. 

6:15pm There was a couple's dance competition and each Bride was asked to dance with either their fiancee or coach and the judges tapped out whom they thought wasn't as good as the others and we ended up with a winner, who won a $500 gift certificate from Designer Desserts. 

8:30pm There was a songwriting and singing competition whereby the couple or the bride on her own wrote and sang a song for all to hear. The judges after listening to all the competitors asked Carlo if they could get 2 of the couples to sing again as they couldn't decide whom the winner was. Once a winner was chosen Carlo told her she won a 4 hour sleep break, but then considering how good everyone was, Carlo decided to give ALL the girls a 4 hour sleep break but told the winner she actually can sleep for 5 hours but had to choose one other contestant who would only sleep for 3 hours. She quickly pointed out another contestant from across the hall and the drama began.
