SABC2 is excited to introduce a brand-new series, Big Day For 25K, which will debut on Sunday, 9 June 2024, at 19:30.
In South Africa, weddings are part of the biggest celebrations. In some cultures, there is more than one wedding ceremony where couples/ families can host a traditional ceremony and a civil wedding. Couples save a lump sum of money or get into debt to unite in marriage.
The cost of getting married is sky-high. Unfortunately, the bride and groom fall into debt while planning for this elaborate day, the worst way to start a marriage.
In this new SABC2 reality series, for the next 13 weeks, viewers follow couples on their journey as they have to plan and create their dream weddings on a smaller budget of R25,000.00 over four days leading up to their big day. The couples rely on their friends, families and skills rather than placing reliance on money. There will be tears and laughter, frustrations, and wisdom as we journey with them to their big day for 25k.
“Zero Gravity TV and Media are very proud to be launching the first season of Big Day for 25k in South Africa with SABC2. We believe the timing of a show like this is perfect for South Africa right now. There are fantastic and heartwarming stories of people who have all faced some type of adversity that has brought them to Big Day for 25k. We are excited to see how this International format by Storylab is received by the South African audiences. We would also like to thank our production support partner on this series Trace Studios”. – Sivan Pillay, Chief Executive Officer – Zero Gravity TV and Media.
