NEW YORK – May 16, 2011 – Tori and Dean must find a way to marry to two completely different themes and throw a 1920s, “steampunk†wedding for quirky couple Serena and Eric on an all-new episode of Oxygen’s “Tori & Dean: sTORIbook Weddings,†airing Wednesday, May 18 at 11pm ET/PT.
Serena and Eric want to throw a one-of-a-kind wedding that will showcase their fun and offbeat personalities, which lead them to Tori and Dean. Eric’s vision is geared toward “steampunk,†a retro but futuristic style that calls to mind the Victorian Era and Industrial Age. Serena, however, has her heart set on a 1920s, flapper-inspired wedding. Dean is psyched for the challenge even though Tori is a little unsure of how they’re going to mesh the two themes together. With the help of some steampunk specialists and a little imagination, the wedding finally starts to come together…but not without some bumps along the road. Will Tori and Dean be able to bring these two worlds together without a hitch, or will the couple be left wanting more?
Combining Tori Spelling’s party-planning flair with husband Dean McDermott’s bring-it-on attitude, “Tori & Dean: sTORIbook Weddings†takes one lucky couple’s wedding from ordinary to extraordinary. Spelling turns the bride-to-be’s dreams for a beautiful event into a reality, while McDermott helps the groom-to-be navigate those sometimes murky wedding waters. For couples that want to make a personal statement at their wedding, Tori and Dean help bring their quirky wedding wishes to life.
