Mass Wedding Held On ‘The Price Is Right,’ Plus Pooches Promise Forever In China’s First Canine Wedding [Video]

Drew Carey doesn’t generally exude a pastoral vibe, but that’s exactly what he’s become for an episode of The Price Is Right in which a mass wedding was held. Carey called the mass wedding “crazy” and yet “kind of cool.”

“It’s kind of a crazy thing. There’s probably like 50 couples or something that can say they got married on The Price is Right, so that’s kind of cool.”

Getting married as part of a mass wedding on a game show would definitely go down in the books as an interesting story to tell your grandchildren. How did these lucky contestants learn of this special ceremony held on The Price Is Right, and more importantly, why would they want to join the ranks and tie the knot with around 25 other couples? The answer is easy. It was advertised online, as all great things are, and as far as the reason goes, it just makes good budgeting sense.

Entertainment Tonight quotes one couple, Jennifer and Jaime, who joined the mass wedding ceremony.

“[Jaime] found it online. They were like, ‘Oh, we’re looking for engaged couples.’ We were like, ‘That’s us!'”

Though one groom, Baron, was interested in “bailing on the budget” of a traditional wedding ceremony, another groom, Dwayne, liked the notoriety of it all.

“What normal average person gets to be married on television and have a celebrity do the ceremony?”

In odder news, China has just held the first mass wedding for dogs shot by Cupid’s arrow. A total of 21 couples of the canine persuasion made their love official as they walked, (on all fours, of course), down an aisle amidst the fragrance of rose petals, just like a human wedding.

The mass canine wedding was held at Beijing Park around 10 a.m. The brides and grooms alike were dressed to the hilt in gorgeous wedding gowns and stately tuxes. The first ever canine mass wedding held in China came complete with marriage licenses signed by Shi Kangning, the secretary general of the Committee of Wedding Service Industries.

This certainly gives a new meaning to the words “domesticated animal.” If you cannot bear to wait another moment to see this mass wedding of doggy bliss, then click here to watch the video.
