Rachael Ray: Rachael's Daytime Talkshow

When Rach's buddy Colby heard that Rob wanted to throw a surprise destination wedding for Leti, his fiancee of three years, the Rachael Ray team stepped in. From finding the perfect dress to getting a marriage license and blood work, surprising a bride is no easy feat! So Rob also enlisted the help of Leti's twin sister, Ali, to pull off his hopelessly romantic idea.

After nine months of living in fear that Leti would find out what he was up to, Rob got his daughter, son and fiancée to Hawaii under the guise that they had a friend’s wedding. When Leti walked into the church, she saw her sister holding a wedding gown, and then Rob explained that all their loved ones were in fact waiting to see Rob and Leti become husband and wife! After many tears, smiles and toasts, it became a reality.

"It was perfect, everything was perfect," says Leti, whose only regret was that she hadn’t gotten a manicure before their vacation! "But then I realized the nails weren't a big deal. I had just married my best friend and he did this all for me. I couldn't have asked for more."

Colby shares his favorite moment as an accomplice and an observer. "When we walked out of the church, Rob's children were both very emotional. And there was a moment when Rob's son Brock turned to him and said, 'Can I call her mom now?' To see the joy on these two children's faces, and the relationship between the four of them is so unbelievable."

Rachael couldn't let the newlyweds leave without a wedding gift, so she teams up with Weddingchannel.com and Fortunoff to get them an outdoor patio set and a new barbecue. And Delta airlines gets in on the act by giving the audience an opportunity to surprise someone they love with a free roundtrip ticket on Delta airlines!
