Rugby Marrying Mum and Dad

-Marrying Mum And Dad is back.

-THEY CHEER

Say goodbye to boring, traditional ceremonies...

And hello to crazy, action-packed weddings.

But with only four weeks, can they pull it off?

Put your back into it.

It's the only show that puts kids

in charge of their parents' wedding day.

THEY SCREAM

Open your eyes!

THEY LAUGH

Bigger, better and more outrageous...

Than ever before!

-This wedding was...

-Incredible, amazing and crazy!

On today's show, we've got two kids

determined to kick a typical big day into touch.

With the joining of hands, I now pronounce you,

Chloe and Kelsey, officially 100% in charge!

But can they convert this wedding into a win?

Whoa! This is amazing!

Or will they be sent straight to the sin bin?

That's not happening. No way.

-We're about to find out...

-Because we're...

-ALL:

-Marrying Mum And Dad!

Yes, yes.

Welcome to Marrying Mum And Dad.

The show where parents let you organise their wedding.

What are they thinking?

They're probably just really, really lazy.

But with just four weeks to get everything done,

the pressure is really on.

So let's get out of the rain and get started.

Today, we're in South Wales

where our planners can't wait for kick-off.

Meet Chloe.

Me and Kelsey are very close and we do get on very well.

She's like my best friend.

Aww! Little sister Kelsey sounds nice.

We always mess about. Welcome to the nuts family.

Oh, maybe not. Let's hope these two don't turn out to be barking mad.

Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof!

Completing the line-up is their brother Kaiden,

but he's too busy being a four-year-old to be able to help.

Yes, he looks very busy.

Chloe and Kelsey are organising a day to remember

for their mum Joanne and stepdad Mal.

I wanted a traditional wedding,

so anything that's not traditional is a worry for me.

Traditional? Has she ever seen the show?

Let's hope Mal knows the score.

I don't think it's going to be a normal, traditional wedding,

not with the kids in charge.

Bang on, Mal. So what have our devious duo got in store for them?

I'll give you a clue, it involves mud, mud and more mud.

We've been fans of this game since we were five years old.

In fact, our family eats, sleeps and breathes it.

-BOTH:

-So that's why we want our theme to be rugby.

TEAM CHEER

-Rugby, what a great theme.

-It's going to be awesome.

I've always fancied myself as a bit of a rugby player.

You have? Aren't you a bit...

-wimpy?

-Oi!

Anyway, it's more about speed and what's up here.

Oh, is it then? Here you go.

-You see. I read the whole game.

-Do you?

I see the tackles before they even happen.

HE YELPS

I wasn't ready!

Stop whingeing, Ed.

You'll need to bring your A-game if we're to get this wedding sorted.

Luckily, Chloe and Kelsey have already been hard at work

planning the big day.

Amazing.

It will be no easy feat pulling it all off in time.

But fear not, we've got the perfect thing

to get this wedding over the line.

This is the Marrying Mum And Dad Mobile HQ.

It's jam-packed with all the tech and essential kit our planners

will need to make their wedding dreams a reality.

It's attention-grabbing on the outside and more importantly,

inside, it's a parent-free zone.

Yeah, keep out, happy couples!

It'll be sat-naving its way to our family's home

so the kids can plan everything in secret, away from prying eyes.

-Wow! That's amazing. That's awesome.

-That is amazing.

Yeah. It's our new addition to the team.

-That is class.

-Do you like it?

-BOTH:

-Yeah.

You haven't even seen inside yet. Come on.

-Wow!

-Ah, cool!

-That is awesome.

It's your planning nerve centre. You can get on the internet.

You can write on everything.

-What, even the walls?

-Yeah.

-Wow! It's nicer than my bedroom.

-I know!

With the Mobile HQ going down a storm with the girls,

it's time to hear their ideas for the big day.

Why did you pick rugby?

Cos weddings are meant to be tidy, nice and romantic,

where rugby is meant to be tough, muddy, wet and dirty.

-And you think Mal will like that?

-Yeah.

-And what about your mum?

Does she love getting messy and getting involved in rugby as well?

-No.

-Watching rugby?

-She likes being really nice and pretty.

A pristine and perfect mum versus a muddy, messy wedding -

this could spell disaster.

If it's an outside theme, if it was to rain or whatever

and there was no sort of shelter,

that could cause a bit of a problem, couldn't it?

I don't want to get married with your make-up dripping

all down your face, do you, if it's raining?

Uh-oh! It sounds like our wedding planners and their parents are on

completely different pages

in terms of what they want for the big day.

But do the girls realise just how messy rugby can be?

Time to find out, Marrying Mum And Dad style.

Fire it up!

SHE LAUGHS

Once they've taken all the mud and dirt that me

and this high-powered fan can throw at them,

will they still want a messy wedding for their mum?

They seem pretty convinced this is definitely the way to go, though.

Are you sure you want to inflict this on Mum and Mal

-on their wedding day?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Yeah? All right, fair enough. It's your wedding.

'Rugby wedding it is, then. Time to get down to business.'

For this wedding, we need a rugby stadium. Let's have a look online.

There's loads around.

Back in Mobile HQ, the girls are coming out with a plan

for the perfect location for their big day.

We'll be needing big, muddy,

wet, massive.

They want to hold the wedding in a stadium.

And in rugby-loving Wales, there's plenty of them around.

We should have a look at this one.

Chloe and Kelsey have looked online

and found three that they like the look of.

But would the bride and groom be as keen?

My worst venue would be anything boyish, like a rugby ground.

It's a huge no from Mum, then. What about shy and retiring Mal?

I really don't like being centre of attention.

Something very low-key would be my ideal location,

-not too many people sort of staring down.

-That's funny, Mal,

because the girls think a massive rugby stadium would be just perfect.

-This is far from a small venue.

-No.

-It's a big venue.

-Yeah.

-Think they're going to like it?

-No.

-No.

Chloe and Kelsey are taking no prisoners

when it comes to making their plans a reality on the big day.

So buckle up, everyone, these girls know their own minds.

All right, ladies?

And now it's time for Mobile HQ to hit the road.

First stop is a small, local rugby club.

Venue number one!

Want to check this one out then, ladies?

So, girls, thoughts?

-BOTH:

-No. Not big enough.

Right you are.

Maybe the home of another amateur rugby club could be the one?

Muddy - tick. Wet...

-BOTH:

-Tick.

Rainy - tick.

But not big enough and it's not embarrassing enough.

Wow. These girls are tough customers.

So now Chloe and Kelsey are really supersizing their search.

This is the Liberty Stadium in Swansea,

home to their favourite team, Welsh rugby giants the Ospreys.

-Shall we go and check it out? BOTH:

-Yeah.

-Come on, then.

And with over 20,000 seats, this place is most definitely large.

Wow! This is amazing!

Oh, wow. This is amazing.

It's pretty big.

Perfect for the wedding.

It looks like we might have found a winner.

-Is this the sort of thing you had in mind? BOTH:

-Yeah.

-It is?

-Yeah.

-Does it tick all your boxes?

-Yeah.

-Why?

-Cos it's big, it's wet, it's muddy.

-Muddy.

And it's public, to embarrass the parents, so...

Oh, right, yeah. Do you want to go for this one as the venue?

-Yeah.

-Does that mean you're sorted?

-Yeah.

-Yay!

The first round up on the board. Great start, team.

The girls are determined Mum and Mal will play rugby

for the entertainment on the big day.

But don't worry, they've got something that should protect them

from a scary-looking bunch like this.

Only know one has told Ed.

-If we're going to have a rugby match, what do we need?

-Players!

-And what have we got?

-Players!

Exactly! So let's get involved!

Arggh!

In fact, I can't wait to show this lot a bit of the old Petrie power.

-TEAM:

-One, two, one, two, one, two!

-Ahh! Oh, my God! Arggh!

HE GROANS

Now I remember why I didn't play this at school. Ah!

Ed, why did you do that for? Why do you think we've got these?

Why didn't you tell me about this?

-Cos it was funny.

-Oh.

Medic!

Give over, Ed. It's not all about you.

The girls have planned some rugby with a difference.

Dive all the way to the end. You are in.

These things are body Zorbs

and they allow wearers to be detected from bumps and bangs.

There you go.

Let battle commence!

Playing bubble rugby like this, though, means Mum and Mal

could end up the muddiest bride and groom of all time.

'It's really important that I look and feel comfortable on the day.

'It's every girl's dream, isn't it?'

You really want to look your best, not walking down like a penguin.

THEY CHUCKLE

A penguin? Well, Mum, you'll definitely be waddling

when you get into one of these.

The girls, though, seem totally convinced it's a good idea.

So you want to subject your mum and dad to this on their wedding day?

Yeah.

'Looks like Mum and Mal won't know what's hit them.'

Entertainment - over the line.

Talk me through the wedding cake ideas.

-So, it's a three-tier wedding cake.

-Right.

There's going to be Mal with a ball in his hands,

-then Mam pulling him back to stop scoring.

-OK.

-And then it's going to be photos.

-Family photos of us all.

-Oh!

Why do you want to put all these photos all over the cake?

It's just shows Mal that we care about him, we love him

and just bring him more to the family.

And welcoming Mal isn't just important for the girls.

It's nice to see that they're willing to accept me

into their family and for all of us to be a family at last.

Sounds like this wedding is a pretty big deal,

so the girls need to get it right.

While they get busy sketching out their cake design,

it's left me to do some more practical testing.

It's hard work, this wedding planning.

Oi, Naomi, you cheeky cake thief!

What sort of cake is it going to be? Is it going to be chocolate cake?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Where are Mum and Mal going to go?

-On top of the grass.

Where are all the photos going to go?

There's going to be pictures going all the way round.

There's going to be more photos on the bottom.

-Oh, that's great. Have you finished?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Come back over, girls.

Chloe and Kelsey have fine-tuned their design.

The next step is to speak to a cake maker to see if they can help.

-Yes! We're connected. Hello!

-'Hello.'

Hi, Natalie. We've got a slightly unusual wedding cake request.

It's a three-tier wedding cake

with mud and grass

and family photos of us.

'Yeah, no problem. I can definitely do that.

-'Do you want the pictures to be edible?'

-Yes, please, edible.

-Can you do that?

-'Yeah, no problem.'

-Thank you, Natalie!

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

Yes! She's going to help us. Cake sorted. Well done.

Good work, girls. You're really rising to the challenge.

What do people wear to a rugby-themed wedding?

Rugby kits.

Makes sense. And is that what Mal is going to be wearing?

He's going to be wearing a waistcoat, shirt and tie on the top.

Traditional.

Yeah, and then on the bottom,

he's going to be wearing rugby shorts and socks.

-I can't quite picture this.

-I can.

Do you want to show me what you're thinking it will look like?

The girls sound like they're planning an unusual outfit

for Mal to wear at the wedding.

Sorry, Mal, no trousers for you on your wedding day.

And with Chloe and Kelsey organising a very messy, dirty day,

they want to show how they expect Mal will look by the end

of his rugby wedding.

-What are you going to do next?

-We've got to add mud stains.

-Have you ever seen anyone dressed like this on their wedding day?

-No.

Because it's not... They have a normal wedding.

This isn't a normal wedding.

It's definitely not a normal wedding.

'That's Mal's outfit well and truly destroyed.

'Over to Mum's now, and they want my help.'

Right. Go on. Let's get this over and done with.

Just like the groom's suit,

the girls are determined to put their own stamp on Mum's dress.

-Why are you writing 30 on the back?

-Because that's her age.

That's just what a woman wants, isn't it, on her wedding day,

everyone knowing how old she is?

-What sort of dress do you think she'd want?

-Princess gypsy dress.

Instead she's going to look like somebody who's been attacked

-by a load of vandals.

-Yeah.

On the day, the girls plan to put their mum in pristine white,

so all the rugby mud and mess will show up nicely.

'That work for you, Joanne?'

I've seen my perfect dress, haven't I?

It's a proper wedding dress with a few diamantes

and then it just slightly goes out at the bottom.

I've even seen the shoes I want.

Don't worry about what you'll be wearing on your feet, Mum,

that's the least of your problems.

Where are you going?

Where are you going now?

Oh, no.

This practice dress has given the girls a chance to see

exactly what they hope the bride will look like

after completing their rugby entertainment.

Oh, it stinks.

Are you sure that's mud?

-BOTH:

-Perfect!

Yeah, I wonder if Mum will think the same thing.

Looking like that on her wedding day?

I'm guessing the answer will be a big, massive no.

-IN HIGH-PITCHED VOICE:

-It's the happiest day of my life...and his.

That's outfits - a right mess.

For transport, Chloe and Kelsey want an open-top bus

to carry Mum and Mal to the wedding victory parade-style.

That's what all good sports teams do when they're celebrating a big win.

So it should be perfect.

Let's go on board and have a look around.

-Now all they have to do is pick one for the job.

-Wow.

-What do you think?

-It's really high.

It's really, really high.

Can be waving at everyone in Swansea.

"Hi! I'm getting married today." Can you picture it?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Really bright red cheeks! Really embarrassed!

-Do they not like being the centre of attention?

-No.

No? One bus down...

SHE BLOWS RASPBERRY ..onto option two.

-I reckon this is a vintage one, don't you?

-Yeah.

Ooh!

This is more like it.

-Is this one better?

-Yeah.

-Much better.

Like, the other one, didn't really shine the seats. But these ones...

-Shiny.

-It's plush.

-Yeah.

-For a wedding.

Right. So, Chloe and Kelsey, which one do you think you want?

-This one.

-This one for sure? Put it there. Well done.

Result. It's a triumph for transport.

That's full-time on the planning for this rugby wedding.

-From a venue perfectly-made for a match...

-Oh, wow. This is amazing.

To entertainment to get the bride and groom bouncing on the big day...

Let battle commence!

The girls have Grand Slammed their plans into reality

-in just four weeks. BOTH:

-Perfect!

And as a final surprise, Chloe and Kelsey have sorted something

that's going to blow the mind of rugby-mad stepdad Mal.

They've only arrange for a few of his favourite team

in the whole world, the Ospreys, to come to the wedding.

But the happy couple still have no idea the girls have organised

the dirtiest day ever.

In fact, our rugby bride is even getting her hair and nails done.

-How do you feel getting married, Mam?

-Very nervous.

Oi, Mum! You can forget all that glam stuff.

This big day looks like it's set to be wet and messy.

Guys, the weather for Wednesday is...

rain! Oh, yeah!

The big day has finally arrived.

Little do Joanne and Mal know that in a few short hours

they'll be saying "I do" in this place.

Over at the family home,

butterflies are beginning to build for the bride and groom.

It's your wedding day, how do you feel?

Very, very nervous.

Mal?

Scared of the unknown.

For Chloe and Kelsey, though, it's already been the perfect start.

They've woken up to rain, and lots of it -

the ideal weather for a rugby wedding.

It's raining outside which makes me a little bit sad.

As long as we've all got umbrellas or something,

I think we can handle it.

No umbrellas where you're going, Mum. The wetter, the better.

So shall we kick off?

It's time to get ready. Let's go.

After getting kitted up at a nearby hotel,

Chloe, Kelsey and little brother Kaiden

look like three kids ready for action.

And as the happy couple shuffle their way into our changing room,

it's time to find out whether the girls have drop-kicked

their wedding dreams...

Or if they'll be cheering a famous victory.

How do you feel?

-Petrified.

-Very nervous.

Well, let's get the wait over, shall we?

On the count of three, you can open your eyes.

-ALL:

-One, two, three!

THEY LAUGH

That is class.

Do you know what the theme is?

-It's got to be rugby.

-Definite!

-THEY CHEER

Secret's out. What do you think of that?

It's not as bad as I thought it would be.

-Have a little twirl.

-Turn round, Mal.

It's just what everyone wants on their wedding day,

it's your age on the back.

I just didn't know what to expect.

Is this all right?

Let's see a replay of that match-winning moment one more time.

Mal's all groom on top, but totally rugby on the bottom.

And while Mum might think she's got away with a white dress,

little does she know the girls are hoping to add one final touch -

plenty of mud.

It's a bit brisk on the legs.

'Before that, though, it's time for Chloe and Kelsey to show off

'their sporting transport.'

Just a little bit wet underfoot.

'Mum and Mal have no idea that when they open their eyes,

'they're going to see all their guests for the first time.

'Ready to ride through the streets of Swansea in an open-top bus.'

You can open your eyes now!

THEY ALL CHEER

That is awesome.

It's your very own victory parade.

All your friends and family.

-All aboard! All aboard!

-It's a lovely day for it.

Hello, hello, hello.

And as Mum and Mal start their victory parade to the stadium,

this lot seem as pumped up as a team who've just won the cup.

-Oggy, oggy, oggy!

-Oi, oi, oi!

-Oggy, oggy, oggy!

-Oi, oi, oi!

KLAXONS HONK

Marrying Mum And Dad! Marrying Mum And Dad!

KLAXON HONKS

THEY CHEER

And the good mood is set to continue,

especially for Mal, as he realises he'll be getting married

at the home of his favourite rugby team, the Ospreys.

-Welcome to your wedding venue!

-Class!

The happy couple seem like they're still happy,

but will they be smiling after Chloe and Kelsey have revealed

their entertainment for the day?

We've set up a challenge for you.

So to do it, you'll need these.

-There we go.

-Oh, no.

-SHE CHUCKLES

Sorry, guys. But just remember we love you.

THEY LAUGH

It looks like you've got a big match to get ready for.

I've never played rugby in my life.

So it's game on for Mum and Mal's rugby challenge.

-Have you got any top tips for Jo playing rugby?

-Run.

As they nervously lace up in the changing room,

next door their fearsome opponents, aka the other wedding guests,

are about to receive their orders from Coach Petrie.

Right, team, who are the best and strongest players in this game?

-ALL:

-We are!

And who's going to win?

-ALL:

-We are!

That's right! Go get them!

With the opposition team all fired up,

it's time for Mum and Mal to face their fate.

Remember, the girls are determined to get the bride and groom dirty.

So they've arranged their own version of rugby confetti to

greet them as they leave the tunnel.

Yeah, buckets of mud.

I don't believe it!

The confetti has just bounced off Mum's dress.

Let's hope the rugby match will do the trick.

Shall we have a game of rugby?

THEY CHEER

Waiting for the bride and groom is this scary looking lot.

Over to Naomi to explain exactly what they'll need to do.

Your task is to get past this lot,

you've got to cross the line at the other end.

Only then will you be able to earn your rings and get married.

No. They've got to get in these first. Let's go.

Chloe and Kelsey are about to reveal

that this is a rugby challenge with a difference.

-NAOMI LAUGHS

-That's not happening. No way.

Mum and Mal will be doing it while wearing these bouncy body Zorbs.

But remember, Mum wasn't up for anything that will make her

look too silly.

It's really important that I look and feel comfortable on the day.

You really want to look your best.

And seeing these Zorbs hasn't gone down well with the bride.

-Are you excited to get in one of those?

-No.

-No?

-Not impressed at all.

-No, not impressed?

-No.

This isn't looking good.

Mum looks like she doesn't fancy the challenge at all.

But the guests and the girls just aren't giving up.

-ALL:

-Do it, do it, do it!

I will do it!

The crowd getting behind Mum seems to have worked.

The challenge is on.

Mal is the first to squeeze into his Zorb,

swiftly followed by Jo, who looks like she means business.

We're ready to play bubble rugby.

Surely there's no way Mum's dress can survive this.

Three, two, one, let's play ball!

-NASAL VOICES:

-'And off they go.

'Mal immediately runs into trouble but Mum takes a clever option

'by completely avoiding the tackles of the other team.'

Stop her!

'Mum's luck appears to have run out, though, as she's come up against

'a rival with no intention of letting her pass.

'Could this wedding be off before it's even on?'

Come on!

'To make matters worse, Mum has been brought crashing to earth by

'some seriously tough tackling.

'She'll need to get back on her feet quickly if she wants those rings.'

'But while Mal takes on three at once,

'Mum has spotted an opportunity to not only avoid the opposition,

'but also our cameras, as she sails home to complete the challenge.'

WHISTLE BLARES

Try!

And here come the girls with those all-important rings.

-They did it!

-I think you've earned these.

I think they've more than earned that.

You're going to get married!

Mum has endured rain, mud confetti and Zorb rugby.

But miraculously, her dress has escaped unscathed.

So now she's ready to tie the knot as a glamorous bride after all.

I do take thee to be my lawful wedded wife,

to love and to cherish from this day forward.

Mal, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and affection.

Wear it with happiness and pride for now and always.

It gives me the greatest honour and privilege to declare

you are now husband and wife.

Finally, Mum and Mal are officially a Mr and Mrs.

Though that isn't quite full-time on this rugby wedding just yet.

The bride and groom still need to claim the amazing cake,

complete with family pictures.

And the biggest surprise is yet to come.

Little does he know it, but Mal is about to meet his rugby heroes.

You two are going to take a line-out, which means, Mal,

you're going to throw the ball to Mum, and, Mum, if you catch it,

then you can eat some wedding cake.

-OK.

-So if we're going to take a line-out,

I think we need are a few more players.

GUESTS CHEER

But these aren't just any old players

coming to help Mum catch the ball.

It's three genuine rugby superstars from the family's favourite team,

the Ospreys - Scott Otten, Rory Thornton and Sam Underhill.

They are actual Osprey players.

I hear you need a hand with a line-out. Can we help?

You can.

So with everyone in position,

including our rugby royalty from the Ospreys, we're ready to go.

No pressure, Mum. Just make sure you catch this ball.

Job done!

And amazingly, after a day of rugby, Mum's dress is still pristine.

Oh, well. You can't win them all, girls.

As the cake gets cut and given out to the wedding scrum,

let's find out whether this big day has proved to be the perfect match.

It's been cold, it's been wet, it's been muddy,

but honestly, it's been a fantastic day.

Priceless.

My favourite part today was... Everything!

-Words can't describe how proud I am of Chloe and Kelsey.

-Same here.

From the bottom of my heart, I am deeply thankful,

grateful and so proud of them, it's unbelievable.

-BOTH:

-Wedding complete!

What a brilliant day.

-It had it all. Mud, rough-and-tumble.

-Yeah.

Let me tell you, as a rugby pro, that is what rugby is all about.

You're not a pro. I haven't seen you kick or throw a ball all day.

Uh... Watch this.

My PE teacher said that, when it came to rugby,

I was terribly gifted.

-Ooh.

-Nope.

He's just terrible.
