Revealing Deep Dark Secrets about your Fiance?? Nope… just for fun!!!!
Dave Star of Star Productions to host the Nearly Wed Game!
The Bravo Wedding and Event Show will be held on Saturday January 9th in Beautiful Sunriver Oregon from 10 til 5pm. We hope many of our nearly-weds will be on-site for the fun beginning on Friday Night at the Owls Nest, Sunriver’s cool night hangout, beginning at 730PM as Dave will kick off the wedding planning weekend with a fun night of interactive games, and dancing too!
The “Nearly Wed” game was coined from the Newlywed Game…a televised game show that was popular back in the 60’s and 70’s, hosted by Bob Eubanks.
“I am inviting a dozens of couples to have some fun, and get to know more about each other and their fiance’s in a fun, atmosphere” Said Dave, owner of www.starproductionsdjs.com. I know that Everyone has had that experience – years after you thought you knew everything there is to know about your “other half”. Then, right there in public, something comes up and you say “Wow, I never knew that!” My wife and I have been married over 20 years and I am still finding out cool things I never knew…..
The Nearly Wed Game is intended to – lightheartedly – take a look at some things we often don’t know about one other. “What better weekend to do that than a wedding planning weekend?” Dave added.
The rules are simple We have dozens of questions set up in advance…first the gals ask their guys then in round two the guys ask their girls. There will be cool prizes for our couples that know the most answers as well as prizes for those that didn’t get so many answers quite right (it’s okay guys…like I mentioned I still don’t know everything about my wife) !
Join us for a social fun and interactive time in Sunriver! If you are newly engaged You don’t want to miss this event!
