The hit show, which showcased same-sex couples exchanging vows, returns for a second smash season with a captivating new host! Second City alumnus and television personality Elvira Kurt is ecstatic to be in the middle of all the pre-marital pandemonium. Her successful career extends from live stand up, to television and film. Kurt’s comedy specials have been featured on HBO, The Comedy Network, Showtime and CBC. A Toronto native, and married to a woman herself, Kurt will be guiding the engaged couples on the new season of My Fabulous Gay Wedding through their final weeks of engagement up to their final “I do’s”.

On August 15th, Elvira Kurt attended the wedding of Joa and Denis, the first of the Fabulous Gay Couples to tie the knot. Denis was in tears throughout the entire ceremony: “I can not put into words what this day has meant to me. Everything has been so overwhelming, I do not even know what to say”. Married in the giant vault at One King West in Toronto, the couple was congratulated by friends and family, some having traveled all the way from Europe. Joa was most emotional getting a video salutation from his best friend Anke who could not travel from Germany for the special day. The evening was a complete success and Kurt could not have been more honored by the final results of the wedding: “These guys really needed and deserved this, I am so happy for both of them and their families”.
MTV’s gay and lesbian oriented station LOGO announced in May 2006 the renewal of the queer nuptial reality program known in the United States as First Comes Love. In Canada, audiences will watch on a soon-to-be-announced network north of the border.
Since the Canadian Senate passed the bill for equal marriage in July 2005, the country has been in the spotlight for its progressive stance on gay rights. This season, new couples will share the spotlight with their experiences and lives, as well as their ultimate expression of love and commitment.
The show is actively seeking same-sex couples that plan on getting married. This season will highlight the diversity of the queer community focusing on the rich and dramatic stories of each relationship. Articulate, energetic and enthusiastic couples that are eager to share their story and their wedding are encouraged to apply at castingfabwedding@yahoo.ca and visit http://myfabgaywedding.blogspot.com for more information.
