GAC�s Ultimate Country Wedding comes complete with all the bells and whistles, including a country music artist (to be announced) performing at the wedding. The wedding will take place on Labor Day Weekend, 2005, in the Delta Atrium of Gaylord Opryland. The atriums at Gaylord Opryland provide a bride with a unique peace of mind.

Inside the resort's magnificent glass atriums, the lucky couple will be surrounded by breathtaking indoor gardens, winding pathways, and cascading waterfalls, all which make an idyllic setting for wedding photos and lasting memories.

Gaylord Opryland will provide the wedding site, wedding cake, flowers and wedding reception.

This wedding is sure to be a one-of-a-kind extravaganza and GAC viewers get to make all the decisions for the lucky couple.
