Two “smokin’ hot” women are ready to take you down the aisle on TV.
“Colorado Bride TV” is set to debut at 5 p.m. March 18 on KTVD-Channel 20. It’s going be a weekly 30-minute show all about getting hitched in Colorado. Hosts Nancy Phillips and Jacquie Palisi are bestest pals. Phillips is a former Miss Canada, Palisi is a former Miss Colorado. Hoo boy. Just looking at them makes you want to get married.
They plan to bring in everyone from wedding planners to florists to counselors to personal trainers from the Colorado Athletic Club so you can be a “buff bride.”
Mostly, Phillips wants to show women how to “rock his world.” And how to deal not only with the 12 months planning the wedding, but the first 12 months being married. The tough ones.
Phillips says 37,000 couples will get married in Colorado this year, spending an average of $28,000 per wedding. (Don’t show this to my ex-wife!)
Phillips is divorced from an Olympic skier, Palisi is the married mother of twin boys (who are lucky enough to have John Elway as their godfather!).
You can find the women at coloradobride tv.com and write them at coloradobridetv@hotmail.com.
