sTORIbook Weddings Premiere

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott seem like the kind of couple you'd want to kick back and vent about wedding-planning over Cosmotinis with — they just happen to be television/film actors-cum-Hollywood power couple-turned-reality stars/executive producers, not to mention busy parents. Now they're adding "wedding planner fairy godparents" to that mega list, with the launch of their new eight-episode series, Tori and Dean: sTORIbook Weddings. The show premieres tonight on Oxygen at 10 p.m. (ET/PT), but BG staffers got a sneak peek!

Tori and Dean follow the bride-to-be and groom throughout every step of the planning process; whether it's finding that once-in-a-lifetime gown or something as simple as designing table numbers. In the pilot, T&D meet Samantha and Steven, who want a pug-chic themed wedding, complete with traditional Jewish rituals, including signing the katubah and dancing the horah. Fellow pug owner Tori decides to tackle the challenge: "Everytime I finish a wedding, it gives me that little like zest, that renewal towards our relationship...it inspires me." But can she pull off a classy party with plenty of pug, in less than a month, no less?

You'll have to stay tuned to find out!  Aside from jotting down their inventive (yet surprisingly attainable) ideas, you'll want to DVR it for the tender moments that other wedding shows like Platinum Weddings tend to gloss over. Keep a tissue handy for Sam and Steve's first look...

Future episodes of the show will feature an "Arabian Nights" theme, a Hollywood nightclub-themed bash with a ballroom twist, and a Marie Antoinette-inspired fete.
