Rachel Safier had given me the heads up via her online community. She was to join us, but the producer let me know she had the stomach flu...I was disappointed we didn't meet in person as we had exchanged a couple of emails in the past.
Liz Weaver and Susannah Jabbour at the show were gracious. I liked how I wasn't treated as though I walked into a "talk show factory". It also helped that I got hair and makeup done YAY! As you can see I got a full face done. I felt like Mrs. Piggy or Janice from the Muppets! There was heavy saturation with eyeshadow, lipstick and blush = TV Makeup... I am sure the studio lights washed it out a bit : )
One of things they asked me to bring with me was the wedding invitation. I did even better I brought the save the date with me as well.
I was quite impressed with how hospitable everyone was. During pre-show conversations with Liz and Susannah, I really wanted to get a feel of the motive. I definetly didn't want to bash the former biker-guy. All the best to him with what he's doing. I am so satisfied right now that if I were to be upset it would be like taking two steps back.
At any rate, the producers told me I would be on the couch with Franz Wisner. Franz is a jilted groom who decided to go on his honeymoon and ended up traveling the world. His book is fittingly named Honeymoon with my Brother. We shared a joke here and there but really, who could dump this guy, furry friend and all?
His first few words to me, "How can anyone leave you at the altar?". How flattering! : ) It just goes to show that people of all walks of life can have these devastating events happen to them. It shows no discrimination. Franz autographed a copy of his book for me as well...I was hoping to meet Kurt, his brother. But I guess there's always next time.
I read the first few pages in the car ride home...It does grab you!
If anyone has seen the show leave me a comment...i haven't seen it yet! i know the last question Mike asked me was very unexpected...it was about my love life : P that look must have been priceless!

Hey there-
I was talking with the people on that show and contemplated going on, but was worried about repercussions from my ex, even though it's been 4 years. I am glad to hear it was such a positive experience and I'm a bit sorry I didn't do it. I hope the episode gets put on the web so I can check it out. How cool that you got to meet the author of Honeymoon with My Brother. I heard that book is REALLY good.
Woudln't it be funny if you met your future husband because of going on that show. I'm curious, how many people watch that show?
