It's not just wedding season here on Sugar — it's taking over TV as well! The second season of Here Come the Newlyweds premiered Monday night on ABC, the CW's Hitched or Ditched starts tonight, and in a couple of weeks, TNT will roll out Wedding Day.
The three shows vary drastically in tone, from the trainwreck-y voyeurism of Hitched or Ditched to the sentimentality of Wedding Day. In Hitched or Ditched, couples who have been together for years get nominated by their friends for a whirlwind week of wedding planning, at the end of which they must either marry or call things off for good. On the other end of the spectrum is Wedding Day, which takes couples who have gone through tremendous hardship — financial or otherwise — and throws them the wedding of their dreams. Somewhere in the middle is Here Come the Newlyweds, a game show in which just-married couples compete in various challenges for the chance to add a cash prize to their wedded bliss.
After the jump, I've got clips from all three of these marriage-themed shows. Will you be making room in your schedule for any of them? To watch, just read more.

I'm honestly so sick of hearing about weddings. Why can't this stuff be spaced out so that you don't get wedding overdose between April and July?
So, no, I will not be watching any of them.
1No. They are pretty much the definition of classless.
2I think Here Come the Newlyweds could be cute. I'd have to see an episode, but I like watching the old reruns of the Newlywed Game.
I agree that the others are tacky.
3I watched Here Come the Newlyweds last year and really liked it, I will watch it again.
4Nope, none of these programs interest me.
5i probably will. honestly i think that some of the concepts are kind of funny - like hitched or ditched. that one i'll at least check out the first time around
6They all look pretty lame.
7How is throwing a dream wedding for a couple who has survived and flourished in tough times tacky and classless?
I like watching wedding show show I would watch Dream Wedding.
8*wedding shows so
9Nope! I lived through the wedding stuff without any drama, so I certainly wouldn't enjoy seeing people mess things up for themselves.
10I watched Hitched or Ditched last night and it's pretty much the most horrifying thing I've ever seen. A marriage is not a wedding, and if you haven't decided to get married after you've been together for 4 years, there is a good reason why, one that doesn't need to be sorted out on national television under a fog of disillusionment.
11I watched Here Come the Newlyweds last summer and completely loved it. It's such a cute show.
12I also watched Here Come the Newlyweds last year and loved it.
13Why the hell would I want to? So I'll feel miserable? I don't care about anybody else's life! I wish networks would stop putting this trash on TV.
