0:00:02 > 0:00:03Marrying Mum And Dad is back!
0:00:04 > 0:00:07'Say goodbye to boring, traditional ceremonies.'
0:00:07 > 0:00:10And hello to crazy, action-packed weddings.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Whoo!
0:00:13 > 0:00:17But with only four weeks, can they pull it off?
0:00:17 > 0:00:18Put your back into it.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22It's the only show that puts kids
0:00:22 > 0:00:24in charge of their parents' wedding day.
0:00:25 > 0:00:26Open your eyes.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Eurgh.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Bigger, better and more outrageous...
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Than ever before!
0:00:35 > 0:00:37This wedding was...
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Incredible, amazing and crazy.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46On today's intercontinental ceremony spectacular...
0:00:46 > 0:00:51I now pronounce you, Taeya and Sunee, officially, 100% in charge.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54The cake's going up, up, up!
0:00:54 > 0:00:57- ALL:- Yes!
0:00:57 > 0:01:00And Dad's going down, down, down.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Will the kids' ambitious wedding plans soar like a bird?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Or will their dreams sink like a stone?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- We're about to find out. - Because we're...
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- ALL:- Marrying Mum and Dad!
0:01:34 > 0:01:39Welcome to Marrying Mum And Dad, the wedding show with a difference.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Oh, yes. Parents put one of the biggest days of their lives
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- in the hands of their kids. - What are they thinking?- Who knows?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48But if Mum and Dad are thinking they're getting a boring,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51standard wedding, then they've made a big mistake. Huge!
0:01:52 > 0:01:57Today we're in Northern Ireland, where we have two youngsters...
0:01:57 > 0:02:01who reckon they know best when it comes to planning a wedding.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Nine-year-old Sunee.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I want to take over the wedding,
0:02:06 > 0:02:10because that means I can be in charge and do bad stuff
0:02:10 > 0:02:11to my parents.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13I have a pillow!
0:02:13 > 0:02:15And 11-year-old Taeya.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20We want our mum and dad to feel happy and excited.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22And worried.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25The kids live with Mum Hannah...
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Handing over total control to the children gives me a mixture of
0:02:31 > 0:02:33excitement and sheer panic.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34And Dad Dylan.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39I have no idea what is planned.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42But, yeah, that's very exciting, just slightly petrifying.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Completing the family are big brother Luca
0:02:45 > 0:02:46and little sister Leila.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Smells nice.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Our wedding planners have big plans for the big day,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58but there's just four weeks to go until Mum and Dad tie the knot.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01So, what have this duo got planned?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03We'd love to visit a country that's hi-tech.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06But ancient, even older than my dad.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08And full of inspiration.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10So the theme of our wedding is...
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- BOTH:- Nihon!
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Japan - the Land of the Rising Sun,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20the ultra-modern country is tech mad,
0:03:20 > 0:03:22but scratch the surface...
0:03:23 > 0:03:27And you'll find ancient traditions survived behind the skyscrapers and
0:03:27 > 0:03:28neon lights.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Japan is 6,000 miles away.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34This wedding is just a few weeks away, but if anybody
0:03:34 > 0:03:36can pull it off, our young wedding planners can.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39They have the setomono!
0:03:40 > 0:03:41Sozosei.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43The kagi-tsume.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Saino.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47And, of course, the kyabetsu.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Yuki.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50So...yoi ahiru,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52young Sunee and Taeya.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55SHE SPEAKS IN JAPANESE
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Why are you speaking French?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Sunee and Taeya want their wedding to be truly Japanese,
0:04:03 > 0:04:06but Tokyo is thousands of miles away.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Luckily, there's another big city both ancient and modern,
0:04:09 > 0:04:10that's a little closer to home.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16London. It's full of authentic Japanese culture, if you know
0:04:16 > 0:04:17where to look.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18It's origami paper.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19There's so much manga.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20And what not to eat.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Oh, it's gone right up my nose, ow!
0:04:24 > 0:04:29As always, in hot pursuit is the Marrying Mum And Dad mobile HQ.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35It's jam-packed with loads of tech and everything else our planners
0:04:35 > 0:04:37need to make their wedding dreams a reality.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41If it isn't stuck in traffic.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Come on, Naomi, what's the hold-up?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44It's just a bit of London traffic.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Well, the van won't find you
0:04:45 > 0:04:47with that sign, Ed.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- Finally. - Oh, wow. That's really cool.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53All aboard! Who wants to plan a Japanese wedding?
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- Hang on, we've got a shopping list for you.- What, shopping list?- Bye!
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- Eh?- Hi, guys.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Welcome on board Marrying Mum And Dad HQ.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- Wow.- Cool.- Oh, this is epic.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14"50 red plastic bowls, one paddling pool, one mawashi."
0:05:14 > 0:05:15What's a mawashi?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Hey, Japan. Loving your theme idea.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25- Why have you chosen that?- I mainly like the anime characters, manga,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27any kind of things like that.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29So what sort of Japanese things do you like?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Kung fu, sushi, sumo wrestling...
0:05:32 > 0:05:34How do you think they'll feel about your theme?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- I think they'll like it. - You do think they'll like it?- Yeah.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Good.- Maybe.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42'Well, let's hope they like it or we could be saying sayonara
0:05:42 > 0:05:43'on the big day.'
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Sunee and Taeya are researching pagodas - traditional Japanese
0:05:50 > 0:05:53tiered buildings and they found an amazing one in Kew Gardens.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- That one's really cool. - Count how many layers that's got.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59But what's that got to do with the cake?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Shopping done, I meet the kids at the Japanese garden in Kew to
0:06:04 > 0:06:06find out what they've got planned.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08You still haven't told me why you
0:06:08 > 0:06:11made me bring all these plates and bowls.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13We're going to practise building a cake that looks like a pagoda.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- Pagoda?- Yeah, like that one.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Like that?- Yeah.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20We're going to build the biggest cake in the history of
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Marrying Mum And Dad.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Let's pa-go-da for it.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Oh, Ed, stop punning and get stacking.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30'My stacking skills are as important as baking skills with this cake,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33'as each bowl will be one cake layer on the wedding day.'
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- There will be 50 layers.- 50?!
0:06:35 > 0:06:38You're going to have 50 tiers of cake, on a wedding cake?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Yeah. 50 guests, 50 layers.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42But this is plates and bowls, not cake.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Oh, sorry!- Oh, no.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Oh, that was my fault.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Now imagine if that was a real cake, that would be a disaster.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Come on, Ed, you're supposed to be helping.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54The kids have to pull this off on the wedding day.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57'Maybe slow and steady is the way to stack.'
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Good, this is much more stable than the other one.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Oh, this is so good. If we can get to 20, that would be brilliant.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- Come on, guys, you can do this! 20! - Yeah.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09'Things are looking a bit more hopeful this time,
0:07:09 > 0:07:10'if we can just hold our nerve.'
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Oh!
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Hopeless. You lot are going to have
0:07:15 > 0:07:17to work on your stacking technique
0:07:17 > 0:07:19or things are going to get messy at this wedding.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26The kids are looking for some Japanese-style action to entertain
0:07:26 > 0:07:28the guests before Mum and Dad get married.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- What have we got here? - Sumo wrestling.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35'Sumo is an ancient sport that's simple to learn but takes
0:07:35 > 0:07:37'a lifetime to master.'
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- Who's going to be doing this? - Our dad.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Is he going to be wearing this? Nothing, apart from that belt?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Also, you can see their bums.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Yeah, I know. I don't think your dad would want us to see his bum.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Time to get to the bottom
0:07:50 > 0:07:53of what Dad really wants to wear at the wedding.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I'd like to be able to enjoy what I'm wearing,
0:07:55 > 0:07:57it would be nice to wear something which is smart.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Well, before we decide if Dad's bum is going to be on show,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05I think we need to find out a bit more about sumo.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Sharran Alexander has won four international gold medals and
0:08:10 > 0:08:13represented Great Britain in the world sumo championships.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Just the person you want to take on in your first-ever sumo bout.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Which one of you are going to take me on?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Looks like that's me, then.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- OK.- Thanks, guys.- Good luck. - Yeah, I'm going to need it.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31'The famous sumo belt is called a mawashi.'
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Eugh!
0:08:32 > 0:08:36'It's nine metres long and needs to be expertly wound.'
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Whee!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41I thought you said expertly, Naomi.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43So what are the rules of sumo?
0:08:43 > 0:08:47The main thing you need to do is get another part of your opponent's body
0:08:47 > 0:08:49to touch the dohyo floor or, if you can, pick them up
0:08:49 > 0:08:51and put them outside of the ring.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- The dohyo is the ring, yeah? - The big circle.- So it's easy.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56It's really easy.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Quit stalling, you know the rules. Get sumo-ing!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- BOTH:- Hakkeyoi!
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Come on, Naomi, but your back into it.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09No!
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Round one to Sharon,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14there's a surprise.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16'Oi! I let her have that one.'
0:09:16 > 0:09:17- BOTH:- Hakkeyoi!- Round two.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23You're supposed to stay inside the ring.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Did you let Sharon have round two as well?
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Have you got any advice for me?
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- It's not going very well. - Don't let her lift you up.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32Don't let her lift me up.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Yes, that sounds easier said than done.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38This is your last chance, Naomi. Make sure you lose with dignity.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39- KIDS:- Hakkeyoi!
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Catch me. Try and catch me.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46That's it, keep on running.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49You'll need to be fit for the wedding when you take on Sumo Dad.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56The kids want a crazy manga look for themselves,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59but they're going for a traditional Japanese feel for the ceremony.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Dad will be a samurai warrior,
0:10:01 > 0:10:04but they want Mum's dress to be the stunning centrepiece.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- So what's your mum going to be wearing at this wedding?- A kimono.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08It's actually a dress,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11a traditional Japanese dress that they wear.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18A handmade kimono can cost thousands of pounds and if you want to be
0:10:18 > 0:10:22fitted with a real one, you need a kimono expert like Mimiko.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Who would you like a kimono for?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27We'd like it for our mum, because she's getting married.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Whoa, exciting!
0:10:29 > 0:10:32The kids need a model for their kimono.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35SHE SPEAKS IN JAPANESE
0:10:35 > 0:10:39A model with delicate bone structure and fluent in Japanese.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Konnichi wa!
0:10:46 > 0:10:48This isn't even it. This is just the underwear.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Yeah.- You should go into the model industry, yeah.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54'Under Mimiko's watchful eye, Sunee and Taeya help wrap me up
0:10:54 > 0:10:57'like a lovely Japanese wedding present.'
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- You're going to look beautiful.- Yes. - It's beautiful.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03It takes a long time to learn how to fit a kimono.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Wrap it the wrong way and you could bring bad luck to the wedding,
0:11:06 > 0:11:07instead of good.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Ugh! I wasn't expecting that.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- This is a bride's kimono? - Bride's kimono, yes, for women.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15- For women?- Hm.- Good.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Traditional wedding kimonos are white, but the kids want
0:11:18 > 0:11:19more impact.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Yes, I think we should do this one here.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24'So I'm transformed into a colourful kimono butterfly.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27'Sunee and Taeya are finally happy with Mum's dress.'
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- You look beautiful. - I feel beautiful.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- Arigatou.- Arigatou.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37That's outfits all wrapped up.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Back in Northern Ireland, Sunee and Taeya visit Lusty Beg,
0:11:46 > 0:11:49the venue they hope to turn into their very own version of Japan
0:11:49 > 0:11:51and it can only be reached by boat.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- Welcome to Lusty Beg. - Yeah, that was great!- We did it!
0:11:55 > 0:11:58It looks like the Japanese gods are smiling on us.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Wooden arches - look very nice and Japanese, don't they?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Yeah. They're called tori, I think, torii.- Torii.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Torii, what's that?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07It's like a gateway to a shrine or a temple.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Ah, so this would match your theme quite well, then?- Yeah!
0:12:10 > 0:12:13'And the inside has as much potential as the outside.'
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- So there you go. How about this for a nice room?- Wow.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Yeah!- It's a nice, big space... - Green.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- For sumo wrestling. - Yeah, do you reckon?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Sumo wrestling would work well in here?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29I think it'd be cool if we had the ceremony in here and then
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- a big sumo wrestle for no idea... - Yeah.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35This room is really inspiring Sunee and Taeya and the ideas are
0:12:35 > 0:12:36flowing thick and fast.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39And we could decorate it with what sort of things?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Japanese lanterns. - Yes, Japanese lanterns.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44And we can do, like, paper cherry blossom leaves.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Yes, beautiful. That would look lovely.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- So are we saying yes for the ceremony in here?- Yes.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52'Venue is so sorted.'
0:12:52 > 0:12:53Ooh, it's going to look lovely.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Sunee and Taeya have decided
0:12:59 > 0:13:02they want their parents to arrive by boat.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03Well, this is pretty perfect, isn't it?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06There you go, you could use a boat like this or something?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08It needs to be a bit more Japanese-y.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10What are you thinking, then?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Like maybe some nice...
0:13:12 > 0:13:13Paper?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16'Turns out the kids want their
0:13:16 > 0:13:18'wedding boat to be made out of paper,
0:13:18 > 0:13:22'using origami, the ancient Japanese art of paper folding.'
0:13:22 > 0:13:26- What would you like to make today? - A boat.- Boat?
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Origami lets you make amazing models from a single sheet of paper.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32SHE SPEAKS IN JAPANESE
0:13:32 > 0:13:36'Helping us as an origami expert who's also called Naomi.'
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- And we have a hat. - Yeah, looks like a hat.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43An origami boat is a truly Japanese inspired idea,
0:13:43 > 0:13:44but is it Dad's dream?
0:13:44 > 0:13:48I would like to arrive at our wedding in something exciting
0:13:48 > 0:13:51and wonderful, maybe on a speedboat or a Formula One car.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Can it be a Formula One car?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57No, Dad, it can't.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Slowly, gently open.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05- A cute little boat.- There it is.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Yay. There you are.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09So let me get this straight,
0:14:09 > 0:14:11you want to make this paper boat absolutely giant,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14you want to float it on that lake,
0:14:14 > 0:14:17you want to put Mum and Dad in the boat on their wedding day?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Yep.- Yeah.- We're going to have to test this out, I think.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Making a giant origami boat is easy.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27You make it exactly like a small one, except,
0:14:27 > 0:14:32really, really, really, really big!
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- It's the boat.- We've done it.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36We've only gone and done it.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39'Massive paper boat massively folded.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41'Now all that's left to do is see if it can float.'
0:14:41 > 0:14:44# Row, row, row your boat... #
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I wonder how this will go...
0:14:46 > 0:14:48All aboard HMS Paper!
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- NAOMI SHRIEKS - This is freezing!
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- It's freezing. - Come on, Naomi, stop complaining.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02That boat isn't going to sink itself... I mean, float.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Right, it's in the water.- Yes! - So quick, come round this side.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06Who can get in our boat?
0:15:08 > 0:15:11'It floats! Well, sort of.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13'But how will it cope with a bride and groom?'
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Happy wedding day!
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Oh, dear, this is not a good sign.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19The design is good,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22but I think we'd better get back to the drawing board on the material.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Paper boat minus the paper.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26I've got a sinking feeling
0:15:26 > 0:15:27about this transport.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Our wedding planners have one more surprise for the big day
0:15:33 > 0:15:35and it's also inspired by origami.
0:15:35 > 0:15:41A crane is a symbol of peace and long life in Japan.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45In Japan, it's seen as good luck to have origami birds at your wedding.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48The only problem is you need one thousand of them.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50A thousand cranes?!
0:15:50 > 0:15:53You've got no chance of making them in time for the wedding.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Maybe not on our own,
0:15:54 > 0:15:58but Sunee and Taeya have other ideas and send an e-mail to the country
0:15:58 > 0:16:00that invented origami.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Dear Japanese schoolchildren,
0:16:02 > 0:16:04we are hopeful you'll be able to help us
0:16:04 > 0:16:06in the making of 1,000 origami birds
0:16:06 > 0:16:08for our parents' wedding.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Amazingly, 6,000 miles away, in Tokyo,
0:16:11 > 0:16:14their call for help is answered and students at
0:16:14 > 0:16:17the Aoba-Japan International School take up the challenge.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21And what a challenge it is.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Even with a whole school on board, this is an epic job.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29The wedding is just days away.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34Can the schoolchildren really get 1,000 cranes folded in time and sent
0:16:34 > 0:16:36all the way from the other side of the planet?
0:16:40 > 0:16:44The morning of the wedding, deep in the ancient forest.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Two legendary Japanese warriors are stirring from centuries of slumber.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Ow! I thought you said this venue was easy to find.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Yeah, it's round here somewhere.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- Have you got the rings?- Of course.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- I don't believe it, I've left them in the van.- Uh.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Hang on. Whah!
0:17:13 > 0:17:14She's such a show-off.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Elsewhere on Lusty Beg,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23the island is about to be transformed into
0:17:23 > 0:17:25the Land of the Rising Sun.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30Or land of low cloud, biting wind and the odd patch of drizzle.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Safely in the warm, Mum is being helped into her wedding outfit
0:17:33 > 0:17:36by Japanese kimono expert Yuriki.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Yuriki can't say a word
0:17:37 > 0:17:41because her voice will give the game away and it's making Mum nervous.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44It feels quite heavy and it feels like there's lots of layers.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47All sorts of things are going through my head.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Am I a human, am I an animal, am I a plant?
0:17:52 > 0:17:56In another room, Dad's nerves are also getting the better of him.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58I think I am Iron Man.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00I can't believe the kids have done this.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Your kids aren't the only children involved in your wedding, Dad.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Because a very special package has arrived.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Oh, wow, what is this? - And it's just in the nick of time.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- This is amazing.- Oh, wow.- Whoa!
0:18:12 > 0:18:15All the way from Japan.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Oh, wow!- Whoa.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- That is a lot of cranes. - That's a lot.- That is so amazing.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24What an achievement.
0:18:24 > 0:18:291,000 cranes handmade by the creative and dedicated students of
0:18:29 > 0:18:31the Aoba-Japan International School.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Oh, there's writing on this.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Oh, look. "Made in Japan. Be happy." Oh, my gosh.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40- This is the best origami I've ever seen.- Yeah, it is.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42I really wish they were right here, like, right now
0:18:42 > 0:18:44so we could just say thank you so much.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- BOTH:- Arigatou!
0:18:49 > 0:18:51After a quick change into their outfits, Sunee and Taeya
0:18:51 > 0:18:54look like they've jumped straight out of a manga comic.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58And they're finally ready to reveal the Japanese theme to Mum and Dad.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Almost time for us to put you out of your misery.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- How are you feeling?- Petrified.- Yes.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06On the count of three, you can open your eyes.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Ready, everyone? Three, two, one,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11look!
0:19:11 > 0:19:12Ahh!
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- I really like this blue hair. - There's so much detail.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Well, the big question is, can you guess what the theme is?
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I'm going somewhere like...Japan.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Yay!- How did you guess?
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- You look incredible with the hair. - Yeah.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37'Success. Time to transport the bride and groom to the wedding.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40'The kids have sent their origami boat design to a boat builder
0:19:40 > 0:19:42'and it looks amazing.'
0:19:42 > 0:19:44But there's a problem.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49The lake has turned into a treacherous, choppy sea.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52The origami boat can't sail.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55A soggy kimono is not a Japanese wedding tradition.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57We designed it and tested it right over there.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Don't worry, you're not going in it, it's a little bit too choppy.- Oh!
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Really sorry, but transport is off.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06'But it's not a problem, because Sunee and Taeya have a plan B.'
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Drummers!- Drummers!
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- Wow, drummers!- Oh, drummers.- Yes.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Traditional taiko drums announce the arrival of the bridal party.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- Here come the guests. - Hey, here come the guests!
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Whoo!
0:20:27 > 0:20:29At the head of the procession
0:20:29 > 0:20:31is carried the final part of Dad's outfit.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- It's amazing.- I know, I know.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37A fearsome samurai warrior's helmet.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Oh, wow.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43HE ROARS
0:20:46 > 0:20:49The Japanese warrior for the day is crowned.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Cue Samurai Dad dancing.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Have fun!
0:20:54 > 0:20:57The guests dance in joyous celebration.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00And to try to keep warm.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03To the ceremony room,
0:21:03 > 0:21:05my kaeru!
0:21:05 > 0:21:08THEY SHOUT IN JAPANESE
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Why is everyone speaking French today?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12It's not appropriate. It's a Japanese wedding.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15HE SHOUTS IN JAPANESE
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Sunee and Taeya lead the procession to the ceremony room.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26I don't think Dad would be in such a hurry if he knew what the kids
0:21:26 > 0:21:27have in store.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35The guests assemble in the wedding dohyo,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38just not for the ceremony they're expecting.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42DRUMMERS STOP PLAYING
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Dad, before you can marry Mum, you have to prove your courage.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47By defeating the ultimate challenger.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49But who is this mysterious rival?
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Ah, Sumo Naomi. I see you've been working out.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Good luck, Dad. And remember,
0:22:04 > 0:22:08the bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15There are high stakes in this sumo-slamming session.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17In Japan we have a saying,
0:22:17 > 0:22:21"We learn little from victory and much from defeat."
0:22:21 > 0:22:26But if Dylan is defeated today, he won't be marrying Mum!
0:22:31 > 0:22:32Hakkeyoi!
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Round one to Dad.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45You've been trained by a champion, Naomi.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Is that the best you can do?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49'I was just getting warmed up, Ed.'
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Round two!
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Hakkeyoi!
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Naomi makes short work of Dad and levels the score to one-all.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01The final round.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Will Sumo Dad prove his mettle in battle and win the hand of Mum?
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Oh!
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Dad's not messing around.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13He must really want to get married to Mum.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Leila shall announce the winner.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- Daddy is the winner!- OTHERS:- Yeah!
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- Shall we marry Mum and Dad? - ALL:- Yeah!
0:23:36 > 0:23:41Don't worry. As the Japanese say, "Even monkeys fall out of trees."
0:23:41 > 0:23:42What?
0:23:45 > 0:23:46This is it.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49The hall has been transformed with cherry blossom
0:23:49 > 0:23:51ready for the ceremony.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53It's stunning.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57All of Sunee and Taeya's hard work has been leading up to this moment.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and commitment.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04- As I place it on your finger... - I offer all of me to all of you.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06I offer all of me to all of you.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- REGISTRAR:- Hannah and Dylan, now that you've made your vows,
0:24:09 > 0:24:12would you please join hands?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14The hands that will help you hold your family as one.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19I now have pleasure in pronouncing you husband and wife.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21And, Dylan, you may kiss the bride.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27In the shadow of Japanese cherry blossom, Mum and Dad are married.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32And the next surprise comes from 6,000 miles away.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- REGISTRAR:- We have a special message from some very special guests.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41- ALL:- Congratulations on your wedding day!
0:24:41 > 0:24:47We are sending you these cranes for a lifetime of happiness.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57All those children in Japan doing something...such a special thing was
0:24:57 > 0:24:59very beautiful, very touching.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Amazing. This uniquely Japanese message of good luck came with a
0:25:04 > 0:25:05lot of hard work.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07A thousand of them give you good luck.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- There's 1,000 here? - Handmade, all the way from Japan.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11Wow!
0:25:11 > 0:25:15This has become a truly international wedding and a
0:25:15 > 0:25:19massive achievement for Sunee, Taeya and their young Japanese friends.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- ALL:- Bye!
0:25:23 > 0:25:25The kids have pulled off a lot of surprises today,
0:25:25 > 0:25:29but they've saved the biggest and most risky till last.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Mum and Dad, your pagoda wedding cake,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34the tallest we have ever had on this show.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36A pile of cakes will slip and fall,
0:25:36 > 0:25:39but a pile of cakes secured with pole shall rise
0:25:39 > 0:25:41and rise forevermore.
0:25:43 > 0:25:4550 layers - one for each guest -
0:25:45 > 0:25:48the tallest Marrying Mum And Dad wedding cake ever
0:25:48 > 0:25:50and it's never been tested.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Let's hope it goes better than in London.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56Cake number 35.
0:25:58 > 0:25:5936.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03- 37.- Yay!
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Not bad, but this is Marrying Mum And Dad,
0:26:05 > 0:26:07we can always get bigger.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11- It's very big. - I hope everyone's hungry.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Look at that.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16So far so good, but will it all end in "tiers"?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Tiers, get it? Tiers, anyone?
0:26:18 > 0:26:23- THEY CHANT:- One more cake! One more cake! One more cake!
0:26:23 > 0:26:2749 cake layers on the pagoda and the kids have saved something
0:26:27 > 0:26:29very special for the top.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32One more cake! One more cake!
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Yeah!
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- Incredible.- We've done it!
0:26:37 > 0:26:41The tallest wedding cake we've ever seen tops off the most international
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Marrying Mum And Dad ever.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Today has just been a crazy day. A crazy, fun-filled day.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Yeah!
0:26:51 > 0:26:54It's been magical. It's been exciting, chaotic.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56What does it taste like?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59I've never had chocolate wasabi cake before.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02This wedding was amazing!
0:27:02 > 0:27:06I really, really loved it. It was absolutely epic.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07- We've pulled it off!- Yay!
0:27:07 > 0:27:12Sunee and Taeya, we love you so much and we're so, so proud of you.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13- BOTH:- Arigatou!
0:27:15 > 0:27:16Mission accomplished.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Our two warriors return to the shadows of the ancient forest.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20- Rah!- Huh-hee!
0:27:20 > 0:27:22How do you do that?
0:27:22 > 0:27:25That was an international wedding that will live long in legend.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28It just goes to show what everyone can achieve when they pull together.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Wise words, Petrie-san.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33A single arrow is easily broken, but not ten in a bundle.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35- Yeah, the more, the merrier. - You're spoiling it.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Be like that. Do your own stunts.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39Oh, I see, Naomi-san.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Are you going to be backflipping into the woods to demonstrate your
0:27:43 > 0:27:45ancient ninja skills?
0:27:45 > 0:27:47I might just walk, actually.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50A real, professional ninja never overdoes it.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51Yah!
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Real professional ninny, more like.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55- Yah!- Stop that.
