Go behind the scenes of the 2009 swimsuit calender with the ladies of the 2008 DCC squad

The one-hour special features current cheerleaders Cassie Trammell and Sunni Cranfill and former cheerleader Trisha Trevino as they juggle work, school and practice all while planning their dream wedding.

If there’s one similarity among Texas brides-to-be, it’s the person standing beside them throughout the entire wedding planning process – their mother. This is no exception for DCC cheerleader Cassie Trammell, daughter of DCC choreographer Judy Trammell. In the weeks leading up to Cassie’s big day, Judy is right by her side, whether it’s for dress fittings, cake tastings or her bachelorette party.

The same goes for third-year cheerleader Sunni Cranfill, also featured in the special, as she plans for her June wedding. Because her mother lives farther away, Cranfill enlists the help of DCC director Kelli McGonagill Finglass in picking out her reception dress and the white cowboy boots that will go with it. Trisha Trevino, who retired from cheerleading in 2010 after six years, also turns to Finglass for guidance as she begins preparations for her 2013 Dallas wedding. Trevino makes a special trip back to Valley Ranch to surprise her former coach and see what motherly wedding advice she can offer. Throughout the one-hour special, each bride demonstrates how the DCC organization has become such an integral part of their lives, providing love and support leading up to their memorable day.
