"Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici Getting Paid Six Figures for Live TV Wedding--All the Details! http://dlvr.it/48TVZB”

Already posted two pages ago and that link doesn't work.

How reliable is this source E!news is quoting? For starters I don't believe SeanCat will get paid the same amount as JP&Ash. Now every news outlet is going to quote this article and the ABC 'insider'.

I can't speak on how reliable the source is, but it's not totally weird that they would make the same amount. I would guess the contracts they sign as the lead talk about this. How much they can negotiate it, I don't know. Perhaps not at all, just the actual wedding with the payment at a set amount. The rest of the stuff said in the article, location, them filming stuff already, is totally believable to me.

Fortunately, I don't think it will ever get out exactly what their pay is... and it shouldn't. I really expect S&C to get more than JP and Ash because the wedding is airing at the beginning of sweeps- and by announcing the date, Sean (and Catherine) are going to be called upon to promote the heck out of it. Sean proved himself to be extremely capable of that. JP and Ashley's wedding was buried in December amongst bowl games and Christmas specials while Sean and Catherine are up against the Emmy's. ABC is hoping they will draw their usual 18-49 female demographic- at least a portion of it- away from the Emmy's.

She was in Carmel according to her IG.

And thats a beautiful place for a wedding.


Congrats on 7000, Gabby!

Carmel is gorgeous but it would really cold at night in January!

I think Carmel is a viable option; a 150-guest wedding could be tented (and heated) fairly easily

I get your point especially with the rest of the things mentioned in the article seemingly believable. However I do think the amount is negotiable. Weren't Jason and Molly paid 75,000? Or was that a penalty for not wedding his F1. Is that also stipulated in the contract somewhere? I think it is safe to say they'll be paid almost as much as JP&Ash received and we'll find out in due course how much they'll get and the reports will differ. I think 250,000 is alot of money, but I am willing to bet SeanCat get more than that.

I agree.  I totally think SeanCat will get more but the amount will not be leaked out.  Once one article mentions the amount, like saying it's $250,000, all the other outlets reprint the same info and it goes round and round like it's the truth.  Like when the spring of 2014 was mentioned as the wedding, everyone printed that same date.  This announcement came out early and SeanCat will definitely be promoting the heck out of it.  I think they will be getting a huge amount but we'll probably never know the exact amount.

Jason & Molly's payout might have been different for that very reason. They also didn't get a People Spread. I believe theirs was in OK so they got less payout there too. They also got married quite a bit after their season so that probably didn't help matters.

I don't really care what their payment is. I'm sure it's a handsome sum plus all expenses paid wedding so they are coming out very much on top.

FYI- Sunset in Carmel on their wedding date is about 5:30.... in LA its about 10 minutes earlier (farther east). Palm Springs it would be close to 5:00. And it is chilly and can be rainy in Carmel at that time of year- especially once the sun goes down. At least it's unlikely to be foggy at that time of year.

I'm still thinking we might be in for an indoor wedding.

In January, unless it's in Hawaii (or similar) I'd definitely go for a indoor wedding myself. There is no place in California that's predictably/consistently warm at sunset and after in late January.

An indoor wedding would be fabulous and much easier to broadcast live. Does anyone know why ABC moved the date to 26th Januari from their usual early december wedding schedule?
