ABC’s “The View” throws quickie wedding
A Utah couple hits the jackpot while shopping around Las Vegas for a place to get married after getting engaged on Valentine’s Day. “The View” offered to marry the couple and give them a complete Vegas wedding on today’s show.
Co-host Meredith Vieira referred to it as a “quickie-wedding,” and it certainly was put together in a hurry.
Apparently, the producers heard the couple wanted to get married and made the offer and swept the two off to salons, jewelry stores, and bridal shops.
Through the magic of TV, by the end of the hour show, this family had a Vegas wedding. Shawn McCoy and Amber Severe of Utah exchanged vows in front of the fabulous Caesars Palace.
Following the final “I do,” Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Star Jones Reynolds, and Meredith Vieira joined the family, friends, and audience in congratulating the newly married couple.
As a gift, Meredith announced that the show was sending the couple to Paris, France for a five day, six night honeymoon.
Meredith’s words of advice to Shawn were, “Remember the most important two words from now on are, ‘Yes dear’.” (I hope my husband heard that.)
What show would be complete without a Vegas wedding?
