The Season 7 premiere of Four Weddings is one for the record books. The reality show that follows four brides as they plan their weddings and judge each other’s weddings — and gives a dream honeymoon as a prize to the winner — is back. And this time it’s personal. Usually the brides are strangers. In the premiere “…Family Ties,” they are related or lifelong friends from St. Louis. One of the four brides is Maggie. The second is Ashley, who’s marrying Maggie’s brother Billy. The third is Maggie’s cousin Kat, and the fourth is family friend Lexi. But that’s not all! The wedding expert helping all four brides is related, too. Sheri Jo Steffens, owner of Heart Events, is Aunt Sheri to Maggie and Kat. Steffens has “gifted” all four weddings in memory of Maggie’s mother Kelly Willis, who lost her battle to breast cancer in 2005. (Maggie was 13 when her mother died.)
