Because the man didn't have enough to do with a sci-fi and legal drama in development, the hardest working man in showbiz will be producing The Wedding Store, an hour-long dramedy for Fox set to premiere mid-season. Along with Tim Minear's Drive, the two series represent Fox's big Spring offerings. The show has a strange, but not unfamiliar history, to Hollywood watchers. The series is based on a similarly-themed 2004 pilot project that Kelley and co-producer Jason Katims, now the showrunner for Friday Night Lights, developed for ABC called DeMarco Affairs and a Fox project that was in the process of being redeveloped. That project was entitled The Wedding Album. The amalgamation we'll be seeing on TV this Spring is described by Kelley as "a romantic comedy about a group of wedding planners dedicated to having their clients live happily ever after, or at least until they get to the parking lot."
The wedding industry has never been more ripe for satire than now. Let's hope the great premise ends in great results.

I want to be able to give my fiancée a wedding like this; unfortunately I am not a big Hollywood actor and can't afford to do anything remotely as nice. So, I created a site, http://www.sponsorawedding.com, to help me give my fiancée the wedding of her dreams. Why should only the rich have beautiful and extravagant weddings? If you could help out by giving even $1, it would really help. All I need is to get enough people to give $1, and I could give my fiancée a day she will never forget.
Thank you for your generosity.
