I will admit to having a passing interest in Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo. I think they’re a sweet couple. I would watch their wedding and probably get a little teary over it since I’m a stupid sucker for weddings despite the fact that I’m more than aware of the reality of marriage. We’ve heard for some time that Nick and Vanessa were hoping to get a reality show so they’d be able to afford all those vacations they’re constantly going on. Now comes news that their wedding will be shown on TLC. This could be the start of a show for them, and they can piss away their relationship the same way Nick did with Jessica, not that those two were ever going to last anyway.
TLC will air “Nick & Vanessa’s Dream Wedding” (working title), a special to air just weeks after the couple’s wedding date, which they are keeping top secret.
Lachey, 37, and Vanessa Minnillo, 30, have been dating since 2006 and got engaged last fall. He and ex-wife Jessica Simpson documented their own wedding and early married life on MTV’s Newlyweds.
“We’re lucky to have such passionate and loving fans, and we thought partnering with TLC on this special would be the best way to share the exciting journey we’re on with all the people that support us and our relationship,” Lachey and Minnillo said in a statement.
The special will feature footage from their joint wedding shower, Minnillo’s wedding dress search and the ceremony itself.

I could have sworn Minnillo was like 35, not 30. This wedding special is probably a kind of pilot to see if Nick and Vanessa rate their own full show. It’s TLC, they air sh*t like “Strange Sex” and “My Strange Addiction,” they’re not choosy. “Kate Plus 8″ is probably going to be put out to pasture soon so they’ll have a reality show vacancy to fill. I really thought Nick learned his lesson and wasn’t going to go that route again after the trainwreck that was his last marriage, though. After Jessica left him, he told Rolling Stone that being on “Newlyweds” really messed up their relationship. He said “Jessica and I began playing these parts even when we were by ourselves… There was a question about what truly was our reality. When you are on a reality show, your life ceases to be reality. It becomes TV.” I guess when your career isn’t really going anywhere you might not have the choice not to turn your next relationship into a reality show too.
