0:00:06 > 0:00:10'Get ready for more crazy parents handing over total control

0:00:10 > 0:00:13- 'of their wedding day.' - LAUGHTER

0:00:16 > 0:00:18- ALL:- Liftoff!

0:00:18 > 0:00:21That's your mum and dad's wedding cake.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23SCREAMING

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Mum and Dad have no idea what's about to happen.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29They have to wait till their wedding day to find out.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32- Wow!- Oh!- Fantastic.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34It's a massive risk.

0:00:34 > 0:00:35- ALL:- Smash it.

0:00:35 > 0:00:39'And we've got less than four weeks to organise everything.

0:00:39 > 0:00:43'On today's show, Mum and Dad have handed over control...'

0:00:43 > 0:00:47I now pronounce you, Eric and Jack, officially, 100% in charge!

0:00:47 > 0:00:49LAUGHTER

0:00:49 > 0:00:52'..but what will they SPHINX of their wedding plans?'

0:00:54 > 0:00:55That's a shock to the system.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57'We've got a brother and sister team

0:00:57 > 0:01:00'determined to put their parents in deep water.'

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Watch out behind you, Mum!

0:01:06 > 0:01:08There's the guts, yeah.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11'Will the kids face the wrath of the pharaohs after this big day?'

0:01:11 > 0:01:13- We're about to find out. - Because we're...

0:01:13 > 0:01:16- ALL:- Marrying Mum and Dad! - CHEERING

0:01:39 > 0:01:41This is Marrying Mum And Dad.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43The show where you guys are in complete control

0:01:43 > 0:01:45of your parents' wedding.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47And if previous shows are anything to go by,

0:01:47 > 0:01:50- you guys aren't fans of your typical wedding.- You can say that again.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53And I'm sure today's wedding planners will be no exception.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55Shall we meet them?

0:01:55 > 0:01:58So, let's sweep over to the south-west and to Dorset.

0:02:00 > 0:02:01Meet Jack...

0:02:03 > 0:02:07Oh, Jack. You have a lot to learn.

0:02:07 > 0:02:08We're sick of it,

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Mum and Dad saying they're going to get married for years.

0:02:11 > 0:02:1317 years later, still nothing.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18..and his younger sister, Erin.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21So, we're taking over.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Brother and sister who actually agree.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Erin is very annoying.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Like, really annoying.

0:02:27 > 0:02:28Oh, well, maybe not.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Gravel time, Jack.

0:02:30 > 0:02:31You're an idiot.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Jack is annoying...boring.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38Let's hope these two can cooperate to make their parents' wedding

0:02:38 > 0:02:39a real treasure.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42Completing the family is their 11-year-old brother James,

0:02:42 > 0:02:44mum Emma and dad Vernon.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Erin will have the wacky ideas.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49- I think Jack could be mischievous. - Yeah, there's an edge in it.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52- There is definitely an element of...- Revenge.

0:02:54 > 0:02:58- That's what we like to hear, Naomi. - Let's unearth the plans.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00For Mum and Dad's wedding we are going back in time.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03Yeah, back in time thousands of years.

0:03:03 > 0:03:04BOTH: Because our theme is...

0:03:04 > 0:03:06whoa-oa-oa...

0:03:06 > 0:03:07Ancient Egypt!

0:03:11 > 0:03:14- This is going to be amazing! - Naomi, what are you doing?

0:03:14 > 0:03:19- I can just see it now. Pyramids, sphinxes, pharaoh...- Naomi...

0:03:19 > 0:03:21..not forgetting mummies.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Let's hope the kids are better at bringing Ancient Egypt to life

0:03:24 > 0:03:26- than Naomi.- Oi.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32A hot Egyptian desert wedding with its pyramids

0:03:32 > 0:03:34and sphinx will be no easy feat because,

0:03:34 > 0:03:37let's face the scary reality,

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Dorset couldn't be more different.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43But if anyone can lead such a tricky expedition, it's me and Naomi.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Oh, and today's wedding planners, of course.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51Jack and Erin are full of ideas on outfits, transport, cake,

0:03:51 > 0:03:55where to hold the wedding and slightly alarming entertainment.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01And how are you planning to entertain everybody?

0:04:01 > 0:04:02- Crocodiles.- What?

0:04:04 > 0:04:10- This is Dad, that's a big tank... - Yeah.- Plus crocodiles, plus rings.

0:04:10 > 0:04:11Equals that.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15So you're going to make your dad go into a crocodile-infested pool

0:04:15 > 0:04:17- to get the rings?- Yeah.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20He's going to have to jump in and swim to the other end with

0:04:20 > 0:04:23crocodiles and get the rings so he can get married.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25We're going to have it so he gets in with no crocodiles

0:04:25 > 0:04:28and then put the crocodiles in after he's in. So...

0:04:28 > 0:04:30So he doesn't really have a choice.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34'Well, I've heard of revenge, but this is taking things to a whole

0:04:34 > 0:04:37'new level on Marrying Mum And Dad.'

0:04:37 > 0:04:40With their minds made up to terrify Dad on his wedding day,

0:04:40 > 0:04:44Erin and Jack set about finding the crocs who'll do the honours.

0:04:44 > 0:04:48After some digging, we find some who are up for a challenge...

0:04:48 > 0:04:51and happen to be hanging out in a local conference centre.

0:04:54 > 0:04:55Right, this is Gnasher.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Say hello to Gnasher, then.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Isn't he beautiful? - Hello, Gnasher.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Now, there's 24 species of crocodile in the world

0:05:04 > 0:05:08and he is a Caiman crocodilus. He's got a very nasty bite.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12He did bite me, he put me in hospital for two days.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16If he bites you he'll spin over and take a great big lump of meat out.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19All I'm thinking about is the fact that this crocodile wants to eat me.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23Yeah, he's opening his mouth to warn you, "This is what I've got."

0:05:23 > 0:05:26In Egypt, they were worshipped as gods.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28So they were very important in Egypt.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32- How many people worldwide a year get killed by crocodiles?- Lots.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34They are quite dangerous creatures

0:05:34 > 0:05:38and the bite from them is particularly nasty.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40'Jack and Erin think they're perfect for the wedding.'

0:05:42 > 0:05:44But what are Mum and Dad expecting?

0:05:44 > 0:05:47I think it's good to be taken out of your comfort zone

0:05:47 > 0:05:51so, actually, why would Jack not think that might be

0:05:51 > 0:05:55a good idea to take Mum and Dad out of their comfort zone?

0:05:55 > 0:05:58I've decided that nothing ridiculously cruel would happen

0:05:58 > 0:06:00and therefore go with the flow.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Go with the flow of crocodiles, you mean, Dad.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04You might be eating your words.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06If the crocs don't eat you first.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09The man-eating bit isn't putting off our wedding planners.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Right, are you up for holding one, then?

0:06:11 > 0:06:12- JACK:- Yeah.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Don't worry, its jaws are safely clamped shut with...

0:06:14 > 0:06:15elastic bands.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18- TREVOR:- Put your hands round there.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Keep your hands round his neck all the time. And there you go.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23You are holding a crocodile. Well, you're a natural with him.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Do you want to put your hands around the neck?- Yeah.- Round the neck.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28It's really freaking me... Don't, Erin. Don't do that.

0:06:28 > 0:06:32When you see these in the water, they will swim really fast.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35'So, now that we're all friends, Jack and Erin want to talk

0:06:35 > 0:06:38'about what Trevor and his crocs could do on the wedding day.'

0:06:38 > 0:06:41When Dad gets in the water and starts to go for the rings,

0:06:41 > 0:06:43he'll think it's easy and then for them to go in through a chute.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45- TREVOR:- I think that would be fantastic.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48He'll sort of see them coming towards him.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50I think it will work really well.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53'But just when we thought we had the snappy entertainment sewn up,

0:06:53 > 0:06:55'our young wedding planners have another idea.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58'A few days later, they decide to throw Mum in the pool, too.'

0:07:00 > 0:07:01Poor Mum.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Next on the list is what everyone's going to eat at the wedding

0:07:07 > 0:07:11and Jack and Erin have the mother, or should I say mummy, of all plans.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14- The cake. - ERIN GASPS

0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Erin's got excited about that. - Yeah.- Why is that?

0:07:18 > 0:07:23Because it's going to be like a mummy, like as long as a person

0:07:23 > 0:07:27- and then...- You want a cake as big as a human being?- Yeah.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30And then there are going to be, like, the little squares where Mum

0:07:30 > 0:07:34and Dad will have to cut in and pull out guts made of, like,

0:07:34 > 0:07:35jam or jelly.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37That's a brilliant idea.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41- Is it possible to bake a cake as big as a human being?- Hopefully.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45After some research, we find a cake maker up for the challenge

0:07:45 > 0:07:50of creating a life-size edible mummy. But there's a problem.

0:07:50 > 0:07:56- Do you have a mould that size? - The size of a mummy?- Yeah.- No.

0:07:56 > 0:08:00Have you got any suggestions of what we might be able to do?

0:08:00 > 0:08:05- Well, why don't we make a model of Jack.- Can we do that? Yeah?- Yeah.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Are you up for being a model? - Yeah, sure.

0:08:08 > 0:08:09- He's up for it.- Cool.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11'I bet Jack never thought he'd be a mummy cake mould

0:08:11 > 0:08:13'when he woke up today.'

0:08:13 > 0:08:18- You are rocking the bin bag look. Lie down, then.- Here it is!

0:08:18 > 0:08:21'First up, we have to apply some quick-drying dental putty to form

0:08:21 > 0:08:22'a base layer.'

0:08:22 > 0:08:24Quick, quick, quick. Use the spatula.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27That's working better, that's working better.

0:08:27 > 0:08:28It's making me feel sick.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Bring in the stuff.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33'Next, we put plaster of Paris on top of the base layer

0:08:33 > 0:08:37'so it can harden to form the shape needed for our cake mould.'

0:08:37 > 0:08:39- How does it feel?- Cold and weird.

0:08:40 > 0:08:41It's gone down his neck, oh, no!

0:08:44 > 0:08:47I think Erin and Naomi are enjoying this a little too much.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Have faith in us. - You shouldn't, but...

0:08:50 > 0:08:52LAUGHTER

0:08:52 > 0:08:56We're not laughing at you, we're laughing with you. Honestly.

0:08:56 > 0:09:00- Here we are, all done. Shall we go and get a cup of tea?- Yeah.- Bye.

0:09:00 > 0:09:01See you, Jack.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06A major reason Jack and Erin are so keen to mould the perfect

0:09:06 > 0:09:08wedding is because of their brother, Jimmy.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10He's got Hunter syndrome

0:09:10 > 0:09:13and he can't speak or hear or walk properly any more.

0:09:13 > 0:09:17- He can't communicate.- He's started to have a wheelchair now

0:09:17 > 0:09:21and we wanted to have a wedding for him before he passes away

0:09:21 > 0:09:24so we wanted to have it with him, as a family.

0:09:24 > 0:09:29It's a fantastic reason to get Mum and Dad up the aisle via the Nile.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33Back at the cake maker's, it's an hour later and the moment of truth.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Shall we try to get you out of that, then?- OK.- Fingers crossed this works.

0:09:36 > 0:09:37THEY STRAIN

0:09:39 > 0:09:41- It's crumbled!- It worked!

0:09:41 > 0:09:45- Has it actually worked? - It's quite heavy.

0:09:45 > 0:09:50- Yes! Hooray! How do you feel to be out of it?- Good. Relieved.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52It's all sweaty and disgusting.

0:09:52 > 0:09:53Eurgh! I hope the cake's not.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55CHEERING

0:09:56 > 0:09:59- You better get baking.- Thank you. - Good luck. Come on, Jack.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01You can come, too.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Now it's up to the Sam to mix together 120 eggs,

0:10:03 > 0:10:056kgs of butter and sugar

0:10:05 > 0:10:09and 20kgs of icing sugar to bring this mummy-sized cake to life.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11But for now, it's sorted.

0:10:15 > 0:10:19As you might expect by now, Jack and Erin have an unusual take

0:10:19 > 0:10:23on where to hold this Egyptian-inspired extravaganza.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27- So, are we thinking an Egyptian tomb for the venue?- Yeah.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29Oh, well. They're the wedding planners.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33Problem is, Dorset isn't exactly famous for its pyramids.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36But this small fact isn't putting them off.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38As far as the venue goes, are you sort of looking for a blank canvas,

0:10:38 > 0:10:42- somewhere you can change into... - Yeah.- ..Ancient Egypt?

0:10:42 > 0:10:44So what are you imagining inside the venue?

0:10:44 > 0:10:47Quite a sandy yellow colour to it.

0:10:47 > 0:10:51So, like, it looks like an Egyptian tomb.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53So, like, not really much modern left of it just completely

0:10:53 > 0:10:54transform it.

0:10:54 > 0:10:58There could be a throne at the end where Dad and Mum could sit down.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01- You definitely want it to be a tomb? - Yeah.- Yeah.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03PHARAOH-NOUGH.

0:11:03 > 0:11:04Huh?

0:11:05 > 0:11:06I'm sorry.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12Something tells me that probably isn't top of Mum and Dad's

0:11:12 > 0:11:14list of venues. Just a hunch.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Well, I'd imagine my wedding to be very traditional.

0:11:16 > 0:11:20Hold on! Traditional? As in ancient?

0:11:20 > 0:11:22I presume a church wedding.

0:11:24 > 0:11:25And a formal reception,

0:11:25 > 0:11:28but then I'm a very boring, traditional sort of person.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30ALARM BLARES

0:11:30 > 0:11:35Traditional and boring - have you seen the show before, Dad?

0:11:35 > 0:11:38That's definitely not what's going to happen!

0:11:38 > 0:11:41Meanwhile, the guys assure me they have found the perfect

0:11:41 > 0:11:42place for a pyramid.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48Right, that doesn't exactly scream Ancient Egypt.

0:11:48 > 0:11:49I hope they know what they're doing.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51We could probably build something in here,

0:11:51 > 0:11:53so build a building inside of the building.

0:11:53 > 0:11:57- Make a big Egyptian set. - A tomb inside?- Yeah.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Well, I've got some tape, so maybe we can try

0:11:59 > 0:12:01and work out how to transform it.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04We could have it in the middle.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08- Right...- Have it, like, in the centre coming from that wall up to here.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13- About up to...- Do you want to help?

0:12:13 > 0:12:18'Maybe it's a mirage, but I'm still not seeing Egypt on the horizon.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20'I hope they're not in DE-NILE.'

0:12:20 > 0:12:23You going right to the end of the room?

0:12:23 > 0:12:27- Would you have everyone sitting down? Standing?- Standing.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29They have got such fantastic ideas

0:12:29 > 0:12:33but it's quite ambitious to bring a whole Egyptian tomb indoors.

0:12:33 > 0:12:37I'm not sure we're going to be able to make something this big.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40But, undeterred, the guys show Naomi where

0:12:40 > 0:12:42the crocodile fright fest could take place.

0:12:43 > 0:12:48So we were thinking of this space being perfect for the swimming pool.

0:12:48 > 0:12:49Er, are you sure?

0:12:49 > 0:12:51We'll have the swimming pool here and then what?

0:12:51 > 0:12:53We'll get all the guests to come and stand around?

0:12:53 > 0:12:55They can stand around the edge of the pool,

0:12:55 > 0:12:58it will be quite a wide pool all the way up there.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00So we've got to order a massive pool for out here,

0:13:00 > 0:13:02build a huge Egyptian tomb in there

0:13:02 > 0:13:04and then we can say that's venue sorted?

0:13:04 > 0:13:05- BOTH:- Yeah.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07- Pretty much. - Just one or two things to do.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13We should start thinking about costumes now,

0:13:13 > 0:13:14what people are going to wear.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17Next, our wedding planners turn their attention

0:13:17 > 0:13:18to the wedding outfits.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20And they've got some very royal ideas.

0:13:20 > 0:13:25- Costume?- Mum and Erin want to be like Cleopatra.- Two Cleopatras?

0:13:25 > 0:13:28- Yeah.- Why not? It's your wedding day, you can do what you like.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31And then you want Dad, James and you to be the pharaohs.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Yeah, like we're the sons of him

0:13:33 > 0:13:36and he's the big proper pharaoh king and we're just the...

0:13:36 > 0:13:39- And you're going to inherit his kingdom.- Yeah.- The Tutankhamens.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42- Dad's crown... Oh, you want him to have a headdress?- Yeah.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45Like that big famous one, the Tutankhamen.

0:13:45 > 0:13:49Yeah, make it out of gold and metal and have a cobra on the front.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51Jack and Erin want to make a metal headdress

0:13:51 > 0:13:54like the world-famous Tutankhamen mask.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57After sending their ideas to a local blacksmith,

0:13:57 > 0:14:00we head down to bash out their plans.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03Look at us, we are in a real forge

0:14:03 > 0:14:06with a blacksmith. Gr-rr-rr!

0:14:06 > 0:14:08It would be a good idea, actually, to make this out of metal.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10It would look quite good, wouldn't it?

0:14:10 > 0:14:14This is how Tutankhamen's mask would have been made originally.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18So the Egyptians used to work in forges exactly the same as this?

0:14:18 > 0:14:19- They did.- Wow.

0:14:19 > 0:14:24This ancient technique can be traced back over 6,000 years.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27While Ed and Erin start beating the headpiece into shape...

0:14:27 > 0:14:28Whack it.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Whack it.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33'..Jack helps out making the cobra for the front.'

0:14:33 > 0:14:35How hot will it get in there?

0:14:35 > 0:14:39- It gets to at least 1,370 degrees. - Pretty hot.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47- You finding this satisfying, Erin? - Yeah.

0:14:47 > 0:14:51Who are you thinking of when you whack it?

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Jack.

0:14:53 > 0:14:57- I think sparks are about to start flying.- I'll do the jokes, Naomi.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03- There you go, Jack.- That looks amazing.- Do you think this will be

0:15:03 > 0:15:06- the crowning glory to your dad's outfit?- BOTH: Definitely.

0:15:06 > 0:15:07That's brilliant.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10Let's walk like Egyptians out of here.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14See, Naomi? Comedy genius!

0:15:20 > 0:15:24Jack and Erin are doing well, but they still have loads to organise,

0:15:24 > 0:15:27including working out how Mum and Dad will be getting to their wedding.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29Talk me through the transport.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33Mum and Dad will get there in an Egyptian cart pulled by horses.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36- Oh, a chariot? - Yeah. Like, a massive chariot.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38I can't think of a better way for an Egyptian king and queen

0:15:38 > 0:15:41to turn up at their wedding than an Egyptian chariot. That looks great.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44Since these chariots haven't been used in over 4,000 years,

0:15:44 > 0:15:47getting hold of one today might be difficult,

0:15:47 > 0:15:51and our hunt leads us to Devon...naturally.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54Right, so you two said you wanted an Egyptian chariot to get

0:15:54 > 0:15:56- Mum and Dad to their wedding. BOTH:- Yeah.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00Where else would you find one of those than on a rainy farm in Devon?

0:16:02 > 0:16:07Wow, it's just like being back in ancient Egypt...

0:16:07 > 0:16:08kind of.

0:16:08 > 0:16:09That's really cool.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12- I SPHINX that's what you're after!- Yeah.

0:16:14 > 0:16:15Wow!

0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Hi, Jonathan.- Hello, good morning, all.- Hello, this is Jack and Erin...

0:16:18 > 0:16:20Hello, Jack and Erin.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23..and they wouldn't mind telling you about their ideas for the wedding,

0:16:23 > 0:16:26- if that's all right?- Yes. - Are we allowed to decorate it?- Yes.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28How are we going to get it to the venue?

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Well, I'll get it up there.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33We've got a lorry, so we'll put the horses or the ponies

0:16:33 > 0:16:36and the chariot on a lorry and we'll come up.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40- Lovely Egyptian weather. - On you go, then. Go on.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42'With the details worked out,

0:16:42 > 0:16:44'before it gets the final seal of approval,

0:16:44 > 0:16:46'it's time for a quick spin.'

0:16:47 > 0:16:49DRAMATIC EGYPTIAN MUSIC

0:16:52 > 0:16:57There they go, racing across the dusty Sahara Desert at great speed...

0:16:58 > 0:16:59..well, sort of.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07'We might have to imagine that one.'

0:17:07 > 0:17:10- How is it?- Fun!- It's really good.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13How do you think Mum and Dad will feel about this sort of transport?

0:17:13 > 0:17:15I think that they'll be a bit surprised

0:17:15 > 0:17:17that it's a proper chariot.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19So, can we say transport, tick?

0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Yes, definitely.- Yeah.- Woo-hoo!

0:17:25 > 0:17:27'So that's it. Jack and Erin have done it.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30'They've organised some snappy entertainment...'

0:17:30 > 0:17:34All I'm thinking about is the fact that this crocodile wants to eat me.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36'..hammered out the outfits, and moulded the cake.'

0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Have faith in us. - You shouldn't, but...

0:17:39 > 0:17:40LAUGHTER

0:17:40 > 0:17:44'All to bring a slice of Egypt right here to Dorset.'

0:17:44 > 0:17:48It's the day before the wedding, and at the venue,

0:17:48 > 0:17:51the Marrying Mum and Dad design team have their work cut out.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53So Jack and Erin have come to help.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58- This is pretty cool. - It's so cool.- It's really good.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01It looks like we've got a lot of work to do, though.

0:18:01 > 0:18:02Let's get the sand in.

0:18:02 > 0:18:06So, basically, all this sand needs to get in there. Do you want a go?

0:18:06 > 0:18:07SHE LAUGHS

0:18:10 > 0:18:12The hotel owners are going to love you.

0:18:12 > 0:18:16As the children work hard at destroying an expensive carpet,

0:18:16 > 0:18:20Mum and Dad are completely unaware of what's in store for them tomorrow.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22- I'm getting nervous.- Yeah, so am I.

0:18:22 > 0:18:23Before, I was just apprehensive,

0:18:23 > 0:18:27but now the nerves are beginning to raise themselves little bit.

0:18:27 > 0:18:32The fact that we've allowed children to organise our wedding.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Yeah, I think so.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39Let's just hope your children get everything ready in time.

0:18:41 > 0:18:42No!

0:18:45 > 0:18:47The wait is finally over.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49It's the morning of the wedding, and as Mum and Dad

0:18:49 > 0:18:54get their make-up done, they still have no idea what's about to happen.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56Because I've never had make-up done before, I don't know what's

0:18:56 > 0:18:59being done, so I don't know what I'm going to look like.

0:18:59 > 0:19:03I can't tell from what's happened so far what I actually am.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06I immediately thought mermaid.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09A mermaid? With that hair? Not even close.

0:19:09 > 0:19:13It's nearly time to put them out of their misery.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17After a quick change, Erin is in theme as Cleopatra,

0:19:17 > 0:19:22Jack and Jimmy as pharaohs, and Naomi and I as Egyptian gods.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24Oh, it's a bit windy! It's gone right up my tunic, Naomi!

0:19:24 > 0:19:26LAUGHTER

0:19:26 > 0:19:29- You lot look fantastic. You feeling good in your outfits?- Yeah.

0:19:29 > 0:19:30You look so good, all of you.

0:19:32 > 0:19:33It's the moment of truth.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Mum and Dad, are you ready to see what you're

0:19:37 > 0:19:39wearing on your wedding day?

0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Yes.- On the count of three, then you can open your eyes.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44One, two, three...

0:19:47 > 0:19:49LAUGHTER

0:19:49 > 0:19:51Oh, my word! that's fantastic.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Well, that's a shock to the system.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56LAUGHTER

0:19:56 > 0:19:59Any guesses what the theme might be?

0:19:59 > 0:20:01- It's Egyptian, isn't it?- Well done.

0:20:01 > 0:20:05It's not Caribbean, it's not Rastafarian, it's not mermaid.

0:20:05 > 0:20:06How heavy is your headdress?

0:20:06 > 0:20:09It's not heavy, it just feels a little bit...

0:20:09 > 0:20:12- I must remember not to lean over. - The blacksmith made it.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15Yeah, your headdress was handmade with your children's help.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17- Really?- Oh! By a blacksmith?

0:20:17 > 0:20:23- Oh, well done!- It's brilliant, it's absolutely brilliant.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25The theme and outfits are a success.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29Let's get Mum and Dad to their venue on some fancy,

0:20:29 > 0:20:32four-legged transport.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34OK, Mum and Dad...

0:20:34 > 0:20:38behold your transport!

0:20:38 > 0:20:41LAUGHTER

0:20:41 > 0:20:43- Well, you better go and hop on. - Oh, brilliant.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45Your chariot literally awaits.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Hold on tight!

0:20:47 > 0:20:50Do you need a hand? Are you all right?

0:20:50 > 0:20:51Oh, she's done it.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54Is this how you thought you'd be travelling to your wedding?

0:20:54 > 0:20:57Every day I thought this! No surprise at all!

0:20:57 > 0:21:00- It's lovely!- This is absolutely brilliant.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03All right, then, well, have a safe journey.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05- Thank you very much!- Thank you!

0:21:05 > 0:21:07- Go on, then.- See you later!

0:21:07 > 0:21:09Oh, this is brilliant!

0:21:12 > 0:21:15Right, we'd better get a move on. Your guests will be waiting.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17Hey, don't worry about the guests, the crocs are waiting,

0:21:17 > 0:21:21- and they're hungry! Come on. - Let's make it snappy! Ha-ha!

0:21:21 > 0:21:23We all hotfooted over to the venue

0:21:23 > 0:21:25and arrived just in time to welcome our pharaoh

0:21:25 > 0:21:30and his future queen as they pull up to meet their fellow Egyptians.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32CHEERING

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Please stop!

0:21:45 > 0:21:49Remember, Mum and Dad have no idea about the snappy entertainment

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Jack and Erin have planned for them.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53Let's hope they're not out of their depth.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55Shall we get them married, mortals?

0:21:55 > 0:21:58- CHEERING - Rargh!

0:21:58 > 0:22:00Wait, before we can walk you down the aisle,

0:22:00 > 0:22:02we've arranged for you a true test of bravery.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05- "A true test of bravery"? Uh-oh!- Come with us.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07LAUGHTER

0:22:07 > 0:22:10It's 10,000 litres of our very own River Nile.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12That took ages to fill up.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15You both have to retrieve your rings from the pool.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17LAUGHTER

0:22:17 > 0:22:20Dad, you'll be getting the one from up there,

0:22:20 > 0:22:23and Mum, you'll be getting the one in the bottom.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25And you both have to wear these.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28LAUGHTER

0:22:28 > 0:22:31Faced with what they believe is just a dip in a pool,

0:22:31 > 0:22:32they don't seem too worried.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34Absolutely enthralled.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37It should be really easy.

0:22:37 > 0:22:38I'm sure I'll manage it.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42- Yes!- We'll take on the challenge. - Absolutely.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44You'll snap out of that fighting talk

0:22:44 > 0:22:47when you realise you won't be in there alone, Mum and Dad.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50The gods declare that this water is too pure!

0:22:50 > 0:22:53Yes, the gods say something is missing!

0:22:53 > 0:22:56We demand a sacrifice!

0:22:56 > 0:22:58Watch out, Mum and Dad.

0:22:58 > 0:22:59EVIL LAUGHTER

0:22:59 > 0:23:01More dastardly laughing!

0:23:01 > 0:23:02THEY ALL LAUGH

0:23:04 > 0:23:08Right, feeble humans, please enter the Nile.

0:23:10 > 0:23:14Oh, hang on, there's something missing from this Nile.

0:23:14 > 0:23:15Oh, my...

0:23:15 > 0:23:17LAUGHTER

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Release more crocodiles!

0:23:24 > 0:23:27Erin, where's the rings?

0:23:27 > 0:23:31Yes, Mum and Dad, they're getting bigger...

0:23:31 > 0:23:33Let the challenge begin!

0:23:34 > 0:23:35Go find the ring.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41Have they had their breakfast?

0:23:41 > 0:23:42Where's the ring?

0:23:42 > 0:23:43You pathetic humans!

0:23:47 > 0:23:48He's done it!

0:23:48 > 0:23:50CHEERING

0:23:50 > 0:23:52I've got it. I've got it, I've got it, I've got it,

0:23:52 > 0:23:55Watch out behind you, Mum!

0:23:55 > 0:23:56LAUGHTER

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Go on, Mum! Go on, Mum!

0:23:58 > 0:24:01Go on, Mum! Go on, Mum!

0:24:01 > 0:24:03MUM SHRIEKS Come on, give her a cheer!

0:24:03 > 0:24:06Come on, Emma! CHEERING

0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Come on, Mum! - CHEERING

0:24:10 > 0:24:13Well done, Mum and Dad.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15You may marry.

0:24:15 > 0:24:16CHEERING

0:24:16 > 0:24:20Incredible. They survived their true test of bravery.

0:24:20 > 0:24:21Now they can get hitched.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26Remember, 24 hours ago, this was a hotel conference room.

0:24:27 > 0:24:32Now, it's been transformed into a scene straight from ancient Egypt.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34SOFT PIANO MUSIC

0:24:40 > 0:24:42Emma, I give you this ring...

0:24:42 > 0:24:44Vernon, I give you this ring...

0:24:45 > 0:24:47..as a symbol of our marriage...

0:24:47 > 0:24:48And as a reminder...

0:24:48 > 0:24:51..of the vows we have made here today.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53So, Vernon and Emma, it now gives me

0:24:53 > 0:24:56great pleasure to pronounce you husband and wife.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58You may now kiss the bride.

0:24:58 > 0:24:59CHEERING

0:24:59 > 0:25:02Long overdue. It's something we should have done years ago,

0:25:02 > 0:25:06- isn't it?- Yeah.- Absolutely fantastic.- It feels very right.

0:25:06 > 0:25:07CHEERING

0:25:07 > 0:25:12They've done it. After 17 years, Mum and Dad have finally tied the knot,

0:25:12 > 0:25:15and it's all because of their children.

0:25:15 > 0:25:19What better way to celebrate than with a life-sized mummy cake?

0:25:19 > 0:25:23Mum and Dad, it's time to show you your very special Egyptian

0:25:23 > 0:25:24wedding cake! Take a look.

0:25:26 > 0:25:27LAUGHTER

0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Oh, fantastic! - I didn't have that in mind.

0:25:32 > 0:25:33LAUGHTER

0:25:33 > 0:25:36Any Egyptian expert will tell you that if you're making a mummy,

0:25:36 > 0:25:39you need to remove the guts first, but we forgot to do that.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41- ALL:- Oops.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44- Oh, no.- You've got to take the guts out.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46Come on, take the guts out.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48Oh, I can see it, there's the guts, yeah.

0:25:48 > 0:25:49LAUGHTER

0:25:53 > 0:25:57The most appetising wedding cake you've ever seen! Ooh!

0:25:57 > 0:25:59Who wants some guts?

0:25:59 > 0:26:01CHEERING

0:26:01 > 0:26:03Do you know what? That's really quite tasty.

0:26:04 > 0:26:08Who wouldn't fancy a slice of cake with a side of mummified guts? Yum!

0:26:10 > 0:26:13# Walk like an Egyptian... #

0:26:13 > 0:26:15EVIL LAUGHTER

0:26:17 > 0:26:20With everyone fed, the day draws to a close, but what

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Egyptian wedding would be complete without...

0:26:22 > 0:26:24- ALL:- ..mummifying Mum and Dad!

0:26:28 > 0:26:31Jack and Erin have put so much effort

0:26:31 > 0:26:34and so much detail into organising this.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37It's just lovely that they've been a team

0:26:37 > 0:26:41and they've been able to work as a team and produce such

0:26:41 > 0:26:45a fantastic day that, you know, we're never going to forget.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48The fact that we're all here as a family, all three children,

0:26:48 > 0:26:53and obviously, especially James, is just so special.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56How's the day gone for our wedding planners?

0:26:56 > 0:27:00I find the wedding quite rewarding, that you've actually done this,

0:27:00 > 0:27:02and we've created all this, and it's turned out really well.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05It was hard, but at the end, it was worth it.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08BOTH: Job done!

0:27:08 > 0:27:10I couldn't have put it better myself.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18Since this wedding took place,

0:27:18 > 0:27:22Jack and Erin's brother James sadly died due to his condition.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25But the family still wanted to share their special day with you,

0:27:25 > 0:27:28and they hope that you enjoyed it as much as they did.
