Here’s a sneak peak at Friday’s edition of  TLC’s Four Weddings.

The reality show brought its crew to north Texas, and local brides and grooms allowed their weddings to be videotaped for public inspection. Here’s the premise: four brides and four weddings compete against each other for a grand prize of a dream honeymoon.

Bride Sara and groom Wes shared photos from their summer wedding at The Parson’s Table in Aledo, TX. The couple’s wedding was one of four to be spotlighted at 10 p.m. Friday on TLC.

Donna Smith of Out of the Garden (www.outofthegarden.com)  created the floral design, which included antique iron fencing adorned with vines, lanterns and candles.

Wedding designer was Meredith Commender with Significant Events of Texas (http://significanteventsoftexas.com). 

Guests entered the site surrounded by lanterns for a quintessential Texas ceremony. It set the tone for the evening; the bride even accessorized her white gown with cowgirl boots.the facility and the walk way for guests to enter the tented ceremony.

Hampton Morrow Photography provided the photographs.

Iron works mixed with fresh florals and candles decorated the pathways of this Aledo wedding. Antique doors adorned with decorated grapevine wreaths added to the Texas feel.

A May 1 charity event is planned to help victims of April wild fires in Montague County, TX.

The fundraiser, being organized by local event planner Donna Smith, will begin at 5 p.m. Friday at the VFW hall in Bowie, TX.

“We will have free barbecue dinner for everyone, amazing auction items from all of my hotels, restaurants, clients and friends,” she said.

Dave Alexander and his band along with local fiddlers will provide entertainment.

The fires fanned by high winds April 9, tore across thousands of parched acres in North Texas, destroying homes and forcing the temporary evacuations of some small towns, schools and a nursing home.

North Texas volunteers wanting to help organized Friday’s event to help those, including many farmers and ranchers, who lost their homes.

For people wanting transportation to the event, a charter bus will leave Smith’s Grapevine business, Out of the Garden, at 3:30 p.m. Friday. Free wine and beer will be aboard the bus for those traveling to the event.
