Freeport, Grand Bahama Island - The Bahamas Weekly was called in to assist with the Grommesh Family episode for ABC's popular TV show, Extreme Makeover Home Edition in 2010 when the family was whisked away to The Bahamas while their house was being built.

Coordinated and funded by The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, the Grommesh family enjoyed many of the island's top spots during their stay.  David Mackey of The Bahamas Weekly & Mackey Media Ltd is seen in their bonus video footage of the trip (see below) where Mr. and Mrs. Grommesh are given a photo shoot to commemorate their trip and their marriage. One photograph, that of them holding hands, was seen in the final main episode which aired on January 2nd, 2011. The photograph of their hands was blown up, framed and mounted on the couple's new bedroom wall.

Photos seen here by Yasmin Popescu and Robbin Whachell of The Bahamas Weekly.

While on Grand Bahama Island, The Bahamas Weekly assisted in photographs of the couple at the Garden of the Groves,

as well as on the pier at the Junkanoo Beach Club . Photographs of the children were taken on Taino Beach.

The Bahamas Weekly was also able to conduct a short interview with the family who shared their pleasure of being in The Bahamas. The video will be featured on The Bahamas Weekly and will air on GBI Tourism TV on channel 56.
