Bert and Teresa Rivers of In My Father's House Church visited WBBJ's midday show to promote the West Tennessee Marriage Conference set for Nov. 7 in Jackson.
The conference is scheduled for 6 p.m. at 33 Rebel Road and is planned as an evening of testimonies, a runway fashion show, comedy by D-Way, dancing and other program elements.
Organizers said couples will hear from speakers about how marriage works in everyday life, not only from polished stage presentations that skip the hard parts.
The Riverses framed the night as both entertainment and encouragement for West Tennessee couples looking for a shared outing with substance before the holiday rush.
Tickets were being sold ahead of the Saturday event, with local television helping spread the schedule and describing what guests can expect after they arrive.
Jackson churches and community groups often host weekend marriage events in the fall; this conference adds a variety-show format to that familiar calendar.
Planners said they hope couples leave with practical takeaways as well as a memorable night of music, comedy and fashion on Rebel Road.
