Don't Tell The Bride started here in the UK,

0:00:020:00:03

but now it's gone round the world and everybody's at it.

0:00:030:00:07

Across the globe, fans like me just can't get enough,

0:00:070:00:10

to the point where dozens of countries

0:00:100:00:12

now have their very own version of the show.

0:00:120:00:16

From frosty relations in Scandinavia...

0:00:160:00:19

..to Mediterranean meltdowns...

0:00:220:00:24

..and dodgy decisions Down Under.

0:00:280:00:30

Is there a theme or something going on?

0:00:300:00:33

Yeah, it's a gangster theme.

0:00:330:00:34

SHE SCREAMS

0:00:340:00:36

It doesn't matter where you are in the world...

0:00:360:00:38

I'm not going, if this is my invitation.

0:00:380:00:40

..when the groom takes charge of a wedding...

0:00:400:00:42

Do you really expect us to wear this?

0:00:420:00:44

..sparks are always going to fly.

0:00:440:00:46

This programme contains some strong language.

0:00:470:00:54

Yes, it's official!

0:01:010:01:02

Don't Tell The Bride has spread like a cult

0:01:020:01:05

and tonight, we're taking you on a whistle-stop tour

0:01:050:01:08

to see the chaos that ensues when grooms from around the world

0:01:080:01:12

get to plan the big day.

0:01:120:01:14

It's both entertainingly different and reassuringly the same,

0:01:140:01:18

so sit back, relax, and get ready

0:01:180:01:21

for some international tears and tantrums

0:01:210:01:23

and, of course, some happy endings

0:01:230:01:25

as Don't Tell The Bride goes global.

0:01:250:01:28

We can't recreate this moment EVER

0:01:440:01:47

and I don't want him to completely eff it up.

0:01:470:01:50

When it comes to weddings, the most important thing for any bride,

0:01:530:01:56

no matter where she is in the world,

0:01:560:01:58

is to look absolutely sensational on her big day.

0:01:580:02:02

So when the groom is picking the dress,

0:02:020:02:04

you better hope he's got a good sense of style.

0:02:040:02:06

Our first port of call is Sydney, Australia,

0:02:200:02:22

where bride-to-be Steph is trusting high-school sweetheart Jake

0:02:220:02:27

to choose a dress for the biggest day of her life.

0:02:270:02:30

She knows the kind of frock she wants

0:02:300:02:32

but, boy, does Jake have his hands full.

0:02:320:02:34

Come on out.

0:02:340:02:36

Oh!

0:02:360:02:38

-It's not very forgiving.

-I think Jake will like it.

0:02:380:02:41

I think Jake will like it too.

0:02:410:02:42

Um, I'm not sure if that's the one.

0:02:420:02:45

You don't want the grandparents to be like, "Oh!"

0:02:450:02:49

Oh! I hadn't even thought of that! They'd get a show.

0:02:490:02:52

-Yeah.

-Dinner and a show.

0:02:520:02:53

Luckily, Jake has a secret weapon...

0:02:530:02:56

Melons.

0:02:580:02:59

Steph's rather a bit more busty.

0:02:590:03:02

Is there any chance that we could...perhaps...

0:03:020:03:07

do some in-filling?

0:03:070:03:09

Pretty please?

0:03:090:03:10

That looks a bit better.

0:03:180:03:19

It looks a bit more like it.

0:03:190:03:21

THEY LAUGH

0:03:210:03:24

Oh, dear!

0:03:240:03:25

She does have really nice melons.

0:03:250:03:28

-Even with the enhancements, it's quite sort of slimming.

-Yeah.

0:03:280:03:32

And dress number two?

0:03:340:03:36

Ooh, that's nice.

0:03:360:03:38

The melons wouldn't fit.

0:03:380:03:39

-I really like the back.

-Yeah.

0:03:390:03:41

The problem is that...

0:03:410:03:43

I think with that, you're going to get the top boob, up here.

0:03:430:03:46

You know, it's like pressed up.

0:03:460:03:48

Yeah, I don't know, though. I...

0:03:480:03:51

That is gorgeous.

0:03:510:03:53

Would she choose this?

0:03:530:03:54

I think she would.

0:03:540:03:56

You should see what she does with a kumquat(!)

0:03:560:04:00

Across to the Mediterranean and in Greece,

0:04:000:04:02

groom Spiros has a different kind of problem with his bride Asfasia.

0:04:020:04:06

Her wobbly bits may not squeeze into her dress at all.

0:04:060:04:11

So, he's setting her an Olympian task.

0:04:110:04:13

# When boy meets girl... #

0:04:440:04:46

And over in Italy,

0:04:460:04:48

feisty Ramona is thinking, "Shutuppa your face,"

0:04:480:04:51

when she learns that hubby-to-be Thomas

0:04:510:04:53

will be in charge of their wedding.

0:04:530:04:55

If Thomas messes up, you just know she's just going to erupt,

0:05:030:05:07

like Mount Etna in heels.

0:05:070:05:08

So, not the sort of lady to take risks with, then.

0:05:200:05:24

What? No veil?

0:05:270:05:30

Well, there's a first for everything.

0:05:300:05:32

The day before the wedding,

0:05:320:05:35

will it be bella or bastardo for Ramona?

0:05:350:05:37

And in Denmark, what chance does Ronnie have

0:06:580:07:01

when his bride Carina controls everything in their relationship?

0:07:010:07:05

The only thing that he gets to control is the TV remote.

0:07:050:07:08

Before they separate, Carina gives Ronnie a few tips on her dress

0:07:090:07:13

to make absolutely sure he doesn't screw up.

0:07:130:07:16

But now he's in charge, will he listen?

0:07:160:07:19

Well, no.

0:07:200:07:22

And so, having been told by the bride herself

0:07:450:07:47

almost exactly what dress she wants,

0:07:470:07:49

Ronnie ignores her and designs one himself.

0:07:490:07:51

Obviously.

0:07:510:07:53

It's a brave move.

0:08:020:08:03

Ronnie's clearly a great Dane.

0:08:030:08:05

Sadly, he's not a great designer.

0:08:050:08:07

Turns out he has no creative talent whatsoever.

0:08:070:08:09

And he's completely forgotten what his controlling bride wanted.

0:08:090:08:13

Time to call in a professional.

0:08:160:08:18

Finally. Phew!

0:08:180:08:19

So, come Judgement Day,

0:08:320:08:35

what will Carina make of the dress Ronnie lovingly crafted

0:08:350:08:38

for the most important day of her life?

0:08:380:08:40

Hmm. Well, that went well.

0:09:040:09:05

Back to the drawing board.

0:09:050:09:07

Now, if there's one thing

0:09:160:09:18

that loads of grooms love on Don't Tell The Bride,

0:09:180:09:21

it's a themed wedding, and they're a very risky business.

0:09:210:09:24

It's like putting all your eggs in one basket

0:09:240:09:27

and then putting that basket in front of a steamroller.

0:09:270:09:30

One of the riskiest themes ever was when sci-fi geek Charles

0:09:330:09:37

took his bride Lauren where no bride has gone before.

0:09:370:09:41

Sci-fi, primo. Yeah!

0:09:410:09:43

-(ROBOTIC VOICE)

-Hello, everyone.

0:09:430:09:45

Welcome to Lauren and Charles's wedding.

0:09:450:09:47

Come on, robots!

0:09:470:09:48

THEY LAUGH

0:09:510:09:53

Yes!

0:09:530:09:54

THEY LAUGH

0:09:570:10:00

Across the globe in Australia,

0:10:000:10:01

groom Jake is determined to give his bride Steph

0:10:010:10:04

a dream themed wedding.

0:10:040:10:06

Only problem is, that's Steph's nightmare.

0:10:060:10:09

And he better not do a themed wedding.

0:10:100:10:12

Seriously, could you imagine that? Seriously?

0:10:120:10:15

Like, where everyone dresses up.

0:10:150:10:17

Oh, no! Stop talking!

0:10:170:10:19

It's not even funny any more. I'm going to cry. It's not funny.

0:10:190:10:23

My worst nightmare at a wedding would be something really tacky,

0:10:230:10:27

that really kitsch, kind of costume-y...

0:10:270:10:30

vomit.

0:10:300:10:32

You know what I was thinking, right?

0:10:320:10:34

Being that I love your old cars and flapper dresses and that,

0:10:340:10:38

I was thinking 1920s gangster film.

0:10:380:10:40

I could not think of a better-fitted theme for my wedding

0:10:400:10:45

than to do a gangster wedding.

0:10:450:10:46

Tommy guns, pinstripe suits, you know...

0:10:460:10:49

The Tommy guns will be there.

0:10:490:10:51

-Tommy guns.

-You said Tommy guns, I think you're keen for the Tommy guns.

0:10:510:10:54

I'm keen for the Tommy guns! What's gangster without his Tommy gun?

0:10:540:10:57

Having to dress the bridesmaids is going to be an issue.

0:10:570:11:00

I'm not amazing when it comes to dressing females.

0:11:000:11:04

Um... Undressing, legendary!

0:11:050:11:08

I've found this website and they do a flapper dress.

0:11:100:11:15

They're also dirt cheap.

0:11:150:11:16

I'm thinking he's going to get...

0:11:160:11:18

There's constantly, all the time,

0:11:180:11:20

toys and games around my wedding, instead of something elegant.

0:11:200:11:23

Oh, beautiful!

0:11:230:11:25

-(FAKE GERMAN ACCENT)

-Say hello to my little friend!

0:11:250:11:27

Jake's little kid-ness

0:11:270:11:30

and his love of everything tacky and playful,

0:11:300:11:34

I love about him.

0:11:340:11:35

I just hope that it doesn't take over the entire wedding.

0:11:350:11:38

I just want that one day to pretend...

0:11:380:11:41

to pretend we're classy and elegant people.

0:11:410:11:44

Oh, it's in a box. This isn't promising.

0:11:460:11:49

Um, you better like them.

0:11:500:11:52

These are your dresses.

0:11:520:11:53

What the hell...?

0:11:530:11:55

What the hell...?

0:11:570:11:58

No.

0:12:000:12:01

Red, your favourite colour.

0:12:010:12:03

SHE GASPS

0:12:030:12:05

This is not funny!

0:12:050:12:07

SHE GIGGLES

0:12:070:12:08

-4?

-What a loser.

0:12:100:12:12

Yeah.

0:12:120:12:14

-I don't know what to do.

-Oh, they stink!

0:12:140:12:17

I'm going to cry. It looks like a cabaret.

0:12:170:12:20

Like, seriously, is there a theme or something going on?

0:12:200:12:23

Yeah, it's a gangster theme.

0:12:230:12:24

Gangster?

0:12:240:12:26

100% honest.

0:12:260:12:27

Oh, my God!

0:12:280:12:31

It's probably the worst outfit I could ever think of for a wedding.

0:12:310:12:35

It's immature and...

0:12:350:12:37

It's just embarrassing!

0:12:370:12:39

I feel humiliated and I don't know why Jake would do this.

0:12:390:12:44

I'm silently, between us, a bit scared.

0:12:440:12:49

-Are you happy?

-Yeah, I love them.

0:12:490:12:52

Do you really? Because I think I look like a freak.

0:12:520:12:55

That's your opinion. I think you look gorgeous.

0:12:550:12:58

-Not as good as your sister, but you look stunning.

-They're too ugly.

0:12:580:13:02

-So you think I look better?

-HE EXHALES

0:13:020:13:04

-Is that all right?

-It's not about who looks better!

0:13:040:13:06

But, as always,

0:13:060:13:08

the bride's the last to learn what the big day holds.

0:13:080:13:10

And Aussie Steph is about to find out.

0:13:100:13:14

God help her.

0:13:140:13:15

I think right now she's finding out what the theme is, so...

0:13:150:13:19

it will be interesting to see how she takes it,

0:13:190:13:22

whether she walks down the aisle or not.

0:13:220:13:24

I'm so scared.

0:13:240:13:25

Wait, how angry are you?

0:13:250:13:27

We'll let you know after you see it.

0:13:270:13:29

ALL: One,

0:13:290:13:31

two,

0:13:310:13:32

three.

0:13:320:13:33

ALL LAUGH AND SCREAM

0:13:330:13:36

Shake it, baby! Shake it!

0:13:380:13:41

She doesn't like it!

0:13:430:13:45

It's not traditional.

0:13:450:13:46

The dresses are clearly cheap.

0:13:460:13:48

Youse look so cute!

0:13:480:13:51

I almost like it.

0:13:510:13:52

-It's not gangster, is it?

-Yes!

0:13:520:13:55

-BLEEP

-hell!

0:13:550:13:56

1920s gangster!

0:13:590:14:02

He's so tacky!

0:14:020:14:03

You've got to give the grooms a break, though.

0:14:060:14:08

I mean, planning a wedding is stressful enough,

0:14:080:14:10

let alone doing it in three weeks.

0:14:100:14:11

I mean, they're bound to forget something, aren't they?

0:14:110:14:14

Like, I don't know... inviting the guests?

0:14:140:14:16

In fact, why is it on Don't Tell The Bride

0:14:160:14:18

that invites are always left till last?

0:14:180:14:20

I mean, come on, there's so many options.

0:14:200:14:22

You've got phone, you've got text, you've got social media,

0:14:220:14:25

you've got paper.

0:14:250:14:26

For me, however, I just do simple.

0:14:260:14:29

Does anyone want to come to my wedding? You?

0:14:290:14:32

I need a groom, really, but I'll take guests. Rich guests.

0:14:320:14:35

You, sir?

0:14:350:14:36

You've got a quilted jacket on. You look posh.

0:14:360:14:39

Do you have a trust fund?

0:14:390:14:40

Ex... You're in! Sorted.

0:14:400:14:43

Just outside Dublin, Martin has gone even lower-tech than me.

0:14:490:14:53

This technique was once practised in villages in the 15th century.

0:14:540:14:59

-How's it going, Joe?

-Hello, Martin.

0:15:010:15:03

Listen, I'm getting married on Wednesday,

0:15:030:15:05

I was wondering if you and Betty could come?

0:15:050:15:07

-Delighted to come, Martin.

-Cheers, Joe. I'll talk to you then.

0:15:070:15:10

Bye-bye, Martin!

0:15:100:15:11

Let's hope he gets round to everyone before the honeymoon.

0:15:110:15:15

Back in Australia, groom Aaron's lack of enthusiasm

0:15:170:15:21

is set to cause big problems for his high-maintenance bride, Mel.

0:15:210:15:25

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

0:15:250:15:26

-Here's to silly buggers.

-To planning weddings.

0:15:260:15:29

As uninterested as Mel is about sport and stuff that I like,

0:15:290:15:33

I'm equally uninterested about planning weddings.

0:15:330:15:37

So, there's little hope when it comes to the finer details,

0:15:370:15:40

like invitations.

0:15:400:15:41

-'Hello?'

-Hi, Mum.

-'Hi, Aaron.'

0:15:410:15:44

It's not so much an invite that will go out,

0:15:440:15:47

this is pretty much the invite.

0:15:470:15:48

-It will be Saturday the 23rd.

-'What, love?'

0:15:480:15:51

Second on the guest list, after his mum,

0:15:510:15:53

is bridesmaid Amy, who's having a girls' night

0:15:530:15:56

with Aaron's wife-to-be, Mel.

0:15:560:15:58

Only he doesn't know she's there.

0:15:580:16:00

You guys, everyone that's in earshot...

0:16:010:16:03

Yeah?

0:16:030:16:05

This is your official invite to the wedding.

0:16:050:16:08

Is this it?

0:16:080:16:10

Shut up, Amy! Is this an invitation for you?

0:16:100:16:13

LAUGHTER

0:16:130:16:15

-Is this a

-BLEEP

-joke?

0:16:150:16:17

This is the only invitation that we're getting.

0:16:170:16:19

-Am I getting Punk'd?

-I'm not even getting an invitation...

0:16:190:16:21

So we have to ask everybody through Amy.

0:16:210:16:24

I'm not going if this is my invitation.

0:16:240:16:27

Try again, Aaron!

0:16:280:16:30

What's wrong with him?

0:16:300:16:31

Hang up on him!

0:16:310:16:33

-Hello?

-DIALLING TONE BEEPS

0:16:340:16:36

Meanwhile, back in the land of romance and Romeo and Juliet,

0:16:360:16:40

remember our feisty Italian bride Ramona?

0:16:400:16:42

She really didn't like that hat, did she?

0:16:420:16:44

Well, at this point, her and her bridesmaids

0:16:440:16:46

are speculating about when her big day will be.

0:16:460:16:49

# I want to get away

0:16:490:16:52

# I wanna fly away

0:16:520:16:56

# Yeah, yeah, yeah... #

0:16:560:16:59

Still, Ramona's bound to be won over by Thomas's romantic invitation.

0:17:130:17:17

Honestly, there's no pleasing some people!

0:17:430:17:46

Just outside Milan, another Italian groom, Andrea,

0:17:490:17:52

is plotting a very public invitation

0:17:520:17:54

for his football-loving fiancee, Giada.

0:17:540:17:57

He's arranged for her to go to the match at their local stadium,

0:17:570:18:01

then plans to call the club with a very special request.

0:18:010:18:05

Like so many grooms on Don't Tell The Bride,

0:18:360:18:39

Andrea is desperate to make his romantic plan go perfectly.

0:18:390:18:42

Back of the net!

0:19:110:19:13

ALL CHEER

0:19:160:19:21

Giada is not the only bride

0:19:320:19:35

to get engaged without a proper proposal.

0:19:350:19:37

In Sweden, one bride actually gets all the way to the altar

0:19:370:19:42

before her man gets down on one knee.

0:19:420:19:45

He may have made up for the romance since, but groom Rickard

0:19:450:19:47

once jokingly proposed to Sophie on the sofa.

0:19:470:19:50

And now, on their wedding day, he's determined to do it properly.

0:19:560:20:00

And that was the shortest ever time between proposal

0:20:300:20:33

and marriage on Don't Tell The Bride.

0:20:330:20:35

Or anywhere else probably.

0:20:350:20:37

There's something about a Don't Tell The Bride wedding

0:20:370:20:40

that brings out the emotion in people and by emotion

0:20:400:20:42

I mean full-on tears and tantrums.

0:20:420:20:45

Who could forget young Luke's meltdown in the UK series

0:20:450:20:49

as he planned his Ibiza wedding to Alex?

0:20:490:20:53

I wanted to get the fucking opportunity to plan the wedding.

0:21:010:21:04

And I can't even do it.

0:21:040:21:05

And around the world, they're just as bad.

0:21:080:21:12

These are our top international meltdown moments.

0:21:120:21:15

In Dublin's fair city,

0:21:220:21:24

the separation rules of Don't Tell The Bride

0:21:240:21:27

are about to kick in for groom Martin

0:21:270:21:29

and his bride Debbie.

0:21:290:21:31

Most of the time we've spent apart, I'd say it's about two nights,

0:21:310:21:34

that was hard, but this is going to be very hard.

0:21:340:21:38

She's quite soft at heart.

0:21:380:21:40

She tries to be tough, but she's not really.

0:21:400:21:42

It's only hitting me now, what's happening

0:21:420:21:45

and I didn't think I'd be like this, but...

0:21:450:21:48

I don't know, I'm probably showing my feelings now.

0:21:480:21:51

And this is how I feel about Martin.

0:21:510:21:53

Look forward three weeks and he'll be all mine.

0:21:530:21:57

Time to say goodbye and with that,

0:21:570:21:59

Debbie turns into the squeakiest bride ever on Don't Tell The Bride.

0:21:590:22:03

Debbie likes to think that she can take anything,

0:22:030:22:07

but then, when it does happen, it's crumble time.

0:22:070:22:11

Three weeks. Three weeks. Leaving my home.

0:22:110:22:15

The place I love. I can't believe it, three weeks.

0:22:150:22:19

CAR HORN

0:22:220:22:24

Yeah, it'll turn her into a dog whistle.

0:22:240:22:26

The groom's more relaxed, though. Fairly common, that.

0:22:260:22:30

Unless you're Yakov from Denmark.

0:22:300:22:33

When it comes to mushy reception speeches,

0:22:330:22:37

he really brings home the bacon.

0:22:370:22:38

As far as we know, Yakov's still trying to deliver that speech,

0:23:390:23:42

the place is flooded.

0:23:420:23:44

And now across to Sydney, Australia, for Shannon,

0:23:470:23:51

the weepiest bride in the world.

0:23:510:23:53

I want to spend time with him and hold his hand and give him a cuddle.

0:23:550:23:59

You don't realise how much you love someone

0:24:000:24:03

until you can't have them there all the time.

0:24:030:24:05

And it's not long before you realise that this bride breaks down

0:24:070:24:11

at just about anything.

0:24:110:24:12

-It's so perfect.

-Oh, don't cry!

0:24:140:24:18

I miss him that much and it doesn't matter

0:24:180:24:21

how many people hug me or tell me it's going to be OK,

0:24:210:24:25

until I get the hug from him,

0:24:250:24:28

it's not going to be OK.

0:24:280:24:30

And when groom Jay flies in Shannon's oldest friend Olivia

0:24:330:24:36

as a surprise, it could only lead to one thing.

0:24:360:24:40

SHE SCREAMS

0:24:420:24:45

I made it!

0:24:470:24:49

Everything's going to be great.

0:24:530:24:56

-I'm so happy! I can't stop crying!

-Strewth!

0:24:560:25:00

This Sheila could irrigate the Outback!

0:25:000:25:03

But there's competition from Greek bride Anastasia

0:25:040:25:07

who cries at the drop of a hat... or the wearing of a tiara.

0:25:070:25:11

If you think SHE'S over the top, wait till you meet her groom, Yorgos

0:25:430:25:47

who's been reduced to a gibbering wreck,

0:25:470:25:49

and that's just by the Don't Tell The Bride rules.

0:25:490:25:51

For goodness' sake, man up - you've got a wedding to plan!

0:26:360:26:40

Oh, thank you. I might just take one for my friend.

0:26:400:26:44

I've actually got another friend... who's by the...toilets.

0:26:440:26:47

The challenges on Don't Tell The Bride are the same the world over

0:26:470:26:50

and often choosing the venue is the biggest pressure faced by any groom.

0:26:500:26:55

Now, we all know that brides dream of the fairytale

0:26:580:27:00

and the elegant while the grooms can all too often get carried away

0:27:000:27:04

with the weird and the wacky and the downright wrong.

0:27:040:27:07

No, too cold.

0:27:090:27:11

Looks like a prison.

0:27:120:27:15

Too likely to get eaten.

0:27:150:27:17

Too many dead things.

0:27:190:27:21

Is that a coalmine?

0:27:220:27:24

No, don't like the zoo.

0:27:260:27:28

And military transport planes? Oh, come on!

0:27:280:27:32

Ian and Hayley were certainly the wettest bride and groom

0:27:350:27:38

pairing on Don't Tell The Bride UK

0:27:380:27:41

after he splashed out on his spectacularly different venue.

0:27:410:27:44

-I don't believe it.

-He's joking.

-He's got to be joking.

0:27:440:27:47

She wanted a church wedding. This is not a church.

0:27:470:27:50

# Bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum

0:27:500:27:52

# Come with me, my love

0:27:520:27:57

# To the sea

0:27:570:28:00

# The sea of love

0:28:000:28:04

# I want to tell you how much I love you. #

0:28:040:28:11

I think I'd rather have the prison.

0:28:130:28:15

And abroad, the grooms can really push their luck.

0:28:150:28:19

Just like bargain-obsessed Philip from Ireland

0:28:190:28:21

when he checks out a local hotel for his wedding reception.

0:28:210:28:24

The really good thing about this room, Philip,

0:28:240:28:27

is that the bar is in the room.

0:28:270:28:29

Another really good feature is the smoking area's just outside the door here.

0:28:290:28:33

The ladies' and gents' toilets are located outside the door

0:28:330:28:35

so you're very compacted from when you come into the room.

0:28:350:28:38

-Everything's staying together.

-Absolutely, everything stays together.

0:28:380:28:41

As with most brides on the series,

0:28:410:28:44

Philip's fiancee Mandy just wants a bit of class on her wedding day.

0:28:440:28:48

Definitely not a new venue or a sit-down dinner in a hotel.

0:28:480:28:53

It just wouldn't be me, it wouldn't be what my heart would like.

0:28:530:28:57

But before romance or indeed class, as with many a groom,

0:28:570:29:01

there's really only one thing that matters to Philip - price.

0:29:010:29:04

The idea of a bargain will appeal to Philip, he's always been since we've been together

0:29:040:29:09

so if somebody comes in and says "We'll give you that for 20 quid,"

0:29:090:29:12

Philip will think all his birthdays. He will see,

0:29:120:29:14

"There's more money left over for the stag."

0:29:140:29:17

-We do include a DJ from 10:30 until 1:30.

-OK.

0:29:170:29:20

It's another thing that you don't have to pay extra for.

0:29:200:29:23

It's part of the package.

0:29:230:29:25

It'll be like a donkey with a carrot and Philip will be gone.

0:29:250:29:29

Shame there's no carrot leading Philip to Mandy's dream venue.

0:29:290:29:31

Look at the bed. My God.

0:29:310:29:35

That's amazing.

0:29:370:29:38

This is the bridal suite.

0:29:380:29:40

Again, it's very high up, you've lovely views all across.

0:29:400:29:44

It's absolutely gorgeous. Oh, look at the view.

0:29:440:29:47

You can see Mr Darcy galloping by on his horse while you brush your hair.

0:29:470:29:51

That is amazing. It's like another world.

0:29:510:29:54

We can blindfold her on the way in and lead her in to the reception

0:29:540:29:57

and then she might not notice too much!

0:29:570:30:00

-It's a hotel, Philip.

-Yes, it's a hotel.

0:30:040:30:09

-I don't like hotels.

-But you'll like this one.

0:30:090:30:11

Philip, I'd say your plans are in ruins.

0:30:110:30:14

And in Sweden, so are Johan's plans for his marriage to Lotta.

0:30:150:30:20

No, I mean they LITERALLY are in ruins.

0:30:200:30:24

No, she won't - she'll be expecting windows and a roof!

0:30:330:30:37

It might be time to get building, mate.

0:30:370:30:42

Which is exactly what romantic groom Ricard did across Stockholm

0:30:420:30:45

when he decided not to bother finding a venue

0:30:450:30:47

and just build one instead - in the garden.

0:30:470:30:51

Of course, it came in flatpack. Well, it is Swedish.

0:30:510:30:54

Nice balls.

0:30:580:31:00

After tying the knot at a local church, it was time to show Sophie

0:31:060:31:09

that there really is no place like home.

0:31:090:31:13

But what does she think about having her wedding reception

0:31:150:31:18

in her backyard?

0:31:180:31:20

Well, that went down well.

0:31:270:31:28

So on their wedding night maybe Ricard will get to show

0:31:280:31:31

Sophie his second hasty correction, so to speak. Ahem.

0:31:310:31:35

Some guys might survive trying to please one woman,

0:31:360:31:39

but what chance have they got against an entire gang of them?

0:31:390:31:43

Yep, they're called bridesMAIDS but nowhere in the world

0:31:430:31:46

do they serve the groom so in Australia one bloke is fighting back

0:31:460:31:50

with a very cunning plan.

0:31:500:31:52

Out with the girls in Sydney, ultra-casual groom Jay has

0:31:570:32:00

got a plan to make his bridesmaid shop go just the way he wants.

0:32:000:32:04

The strategy is to actually throw in all these terrible dresses they'll hate.

0:32:040:32:10

Yes! Then after they've tried a few, after they hate us,

0:32:100:32:13

-then bam, this one, then they'll love it.

-I like it.

0:32:130:32:17

He's an evil genius but will the girls cotton on to his little game?

0:32:190:32:23

-What do you think?

-Not very bridal.

-They'll be bridal.

0:32:250:32:29

-Not liking the colour.

-Not liking the length.

-So you don't like them?

0:32:290:32:34

Mmm...not really.

0:32:340:32:35

-They look really good.

-We look like Barbie dolls.

0:32:400:32:45

-Look like a fairy.

-Exactly.

-Let's have a tea party.

0:32:450:32:47

It's really ridiculous.

0:32:470:32:50

Do you really expect us to wear this? I look stupid.

0:32:500:32:53

I had a dress like this when I was five.

0:32:530:32:55

-Nice.

-We love it.

-We like this.

-You love it a lot better?

-Yes.

-I love it.

0:33:060:33:11

All right, if that's what you want, we'll go those ones.

0:33:110:33:14

-Well done.

-Thanks.

-You did a good job.

0:33:140:33:17

When it comes to stag and hens it seems that we all speak

0:33:230:33:27

some kind of ancient dialect of bonkers.

0:33:270:33:29

SCREAMING

0:33:290:33:31

Yep, that really is a man dressed as a condom

0:33:400:33:42

eating sushi off a naked lady. Standard.

0:33:420:33:45

And with grooms celebrating their last night of singledom,

0:33:540:33:57

more often than not on Don't Tell The Bride,

0:33:570:33:59

it seems that the stags have a better night than the hens.

0:33:590:34:03

Hmm, funny, that(!)

0:34:030:34:04

In Italy, just outside of Milan, groom Alessandro is getting

0:34:080:34:12

a treat that's really going to put a smile on his face.

0:34:120:34:15

Oh...

0:34:170:34:18

# Ola!

0:34:480:34:49

# Darling, you've got to let me know

0:34:490:34:51

# Should I stay or should I go? #

0:34:540:34:56

Mamma mia!

0:34:560:34:57

# If you say that you are mine

0:34:570:35:00

# I'll be here to the end of time

0:35:020:35:05

# So you've got to let me know... #

0:35:070:35:11

But while he's having sexy times,

0:35:110:35:14

the sauciest thing at bride Federica's hen do is the garlic mayo

0:35:140:35:17

that came with her mini pizzas.

0:35:170:35:19

MUSIC: "Yakety Sax" by Boots Randolph

0:35:270:35:30

And despite the small flashing penises all over her head,

0:35:420:35:46

she's just not happy.

0:35:460:35:47

But in Australia, where they really know how to party,

0:35:560:35:59

hens won't be sold short...or will they?

0:35:590:36:01

Bride Taryn is about to find out.

0:36:010:36:05

Ooh, door!

0:36:080:36:11

-HE BLOWS WHISTLE

-Ooh!

0:36:110:36:14

-What the hell?!

-Hello!

0:36:140:36:16

Argh! Hello!

0:36:160:36:17

-How you going?

-Good!

0:36:170:36:19

How you going, girls?

0:36:190:36:21

THEY LAUGH AND SQUEAL

0:36:210:36:23

-How are you all doing?

-Hi!

0:36:230:36:25

THEY SQUEAL

0:36:260:36:30

And with a vertically-challenged escort on board,

0:36:300:36:32

these girls are anyone's.

0:36:320:36:34

THEY SQUEAL

0:36:360:36:39

Good work, little fella!

0:36:390:36:41

-Do you want to know how much he spent?

-How much?

-1,000.

0:36:410:36:44

And across town in Sydney, little does Steph know

0:36:470:36:50

that she's about to take the art of the hen night

0:36:500:36:52

to a whole new level.

0:36:520:36:54

I wish I knew what was going on tonight.

0:36:540:36:55

I hope he chooses something fun.

0:36:550:36:57

All the girls are expecting a big night out,

0:36:570:36:59

so hopefully he's sorted something good out.

0:36:590:37:01

THEY GIGGLE I don't care what happens,

0:37:010:37:03

as long as I get a stripper.

0:37:030:37:05

Be careful what you wish for, Steph.

0:37:050:37:07

Oh, my God!

0:37:070:37:09

Groom Jake is winning brownie points for this night out.

0:37:090:37:13

Until...

0:37:130:37:13

Girls, I have something to say.

0:37:130:37:16

So I'm not sure what we're doing or what's going on tonight,

0:37:160:37:19

but Jake has told me that we all have to pay 30 each.

0:37:190:37:22

-What?!

-Even me?

-Yeah.

0:37:220:37:24

-Even you, Steph?!

-What a tight-arse!

0:37:240:37:27

25,000, and he couldn't just cover a hen night?!

0:37:270:37:31

I bet you his is, like, expensive as!

0:37:310:37:33

What makes you think that, Steph?!

0:37:330:37:35

Thank you.

0:37:370:37:39

CASH REGISTER RINGS

0:37:410:37:44

SHOTS FIRE

0:37:470:37:49

THEY CHEER

0:37:510:37:53

But Steph's about to get

0:37:560:37:57

an eye-catching view of her own.

0:37:570:37:59

I'm terrified!

0:37:590:38:00

-Pick an easel.

-Yes!

0:38:040:38:07

Life drawing, we all know what that involves?

0:38:070:38:09

-Yes.

-Penis! THEY GIGGLE

0:38:090:38:12

THEY SQUEAL

0:38:120:38:15

THEY SCREAM

0:38:190:38:22

Fill your page.

0:38:240:38:26

Draw what you see, guys.

0:38:260:38:27

Just look and draw.

0:38:270:38:30

SHE GIGGLES

0:38:300:38:32

I can't believe there's someone naked in front of me!

0:38:340:38:38

-Didn't you ask for strippers?

-I asked for strippers,

0:38:380:38:41

but this is serious! I'm supposed to be a proper artist right now!

0:38:410:38:44

And once the hen and stag nights are over,

0:38:480:38:51

you know what's next.

0:38:510:38:53

MUSIC: "The Wedding March" by Mendelssohn

0:38:570:39:01

The big day arrives.

0:39:040:39:07

In front of family and friends

0:39:070:39:09

and scarily judgemental new relatives,

0:39:090:39:11

everything has to come together.

0:39:110:39:13

Everything has to be perfect.

0:39:130:39:16

Today, you don't need to tell the bride,

0:39:160:39:19

because all will be revealed.

0:39:190:39:21

# Shut up and drive, drive... #

0:39:210:39:26

For most grooms on the show,

0:39:260:39:27

while colour schemes and ribbons are never a priority,

0:39:270:39:31

somehow travelling in style always is.

0:39:310:39:34

In the UK, grooms on Don't Tell The Bride

0:39:370:39:40

often take wedding transport to extremes.

0:39:400:39:42

Take Nick, who arranged for Katie Price's ACTUAL carriage

0:39:420:39:47

to take his bride, Layla, to the church.

0:39:470:39:49

Oh, my God! You won't believe what he's got for me!

0:39:490:39:51

THEY SQUEAL Oh, my God!

0:39:510:39:54

SHE SPITS

0:39:560:39:57

-Hell yeah!

-This is my church!

0:39:570:40:00

-What I wanted!

-Yeah!

0:40:000:40:01

SHE SCREAMS Oh, my God!

0:40:010:40:04

And when Don't Tell The Bride goes global,

0:40:050:40:07

they try just as hard to impress.

0:40:070:40:10

# Mama told me not to waste my life

0:40:100:40:13

# She said, "Spread your wings My little butterfly..." #

0:40:130:40:18

Oh, my God! It's totally ruined!

0:40:180:40:19

# They can't detain you

0:40:210:40:24

# Cos wings are made to fly

0:40:240:40:28

# And we don't let nobody bring us down

0:40:280:40:32

# No matter what you say it won't hurt me... #

0:40:320:40:36

In Sydney, the transport

0:40:380:40:39

was just one surprise awaiting over-emotional Shannon.

0:40:390:40:43

I feel like a bride now.

0:40:460:40:48

But will a posh car help Steph

0:40:480:40:50

enjoy her '20s gangster wedding?

0:40:500:40:52

I can't believe you got me Jags!

0:40:520:40:54

I frigging love Jags so much!

0:40:540:40:57

Apparently so.

0:40:570:40:58

I'm trying not to fall down the stairs!

0:41:000:41:02

It's like a hike!

0:41:020:41:04

Thank you. The shoes are ridiculous as well!

0:41:040:41:07

SHE SQUEALS AND LAUGHS Turn around?

0:41:070:41:10

Argh! I just got a cramp in my leg! Hang on!

0:41:110:41:16

And she so wanted to be classy on her big day!

0:41:160:41:18

HE SHOUTS

0:41:180:41:20

Hmm, bet you can't guess where this is!

0:41:220:41:24

Milan, Italy's fashion capital,

0:41:260:41:29

is about to meet the Midwest farmyard.

0:41:290:41:31

Alex and his wife-to-be, Manuela, are die-hard Dukes Of Hazzard fans.

0:41:330:41:36

No, really!

0:41:380:41:40

CAR HORN SOUNDS

0:41:430:41:46

# Never meaning no harm

0:41:480:41:50

# Beats all you never saw

0:41:520:41:54

# Been in trouble with the law

0:41:540:41:57

# Since the day they was born

0:41:570:41:59

# Straightening the curves, yeah... #

0:41:590:42:02

She might not be Daisy Duke, but she'll do.

0:42:020:42:05

# Yee-haw! #

0:42:050:42:07

In Greece, the biggest hazard facing Aspasia is a bout of air sickness.

0:42:140:42:18

She may have lost weight, as instructed,

0:42:180:42:20

but she's still being air-lifted to her wedding in a helicopter.

0:42:200:42:24

But she's not having any of it.

0:42:350:42:36

Perhaps a handsome man in uniform can reassure her.

0:42:560:42:59

Nice try, Aspasia, but I don't think you're getting out of this one!

0:43:390:43:43

Six kilos lighter, a white-dressed angel

0:43:540:43:56

hovers above the Acropolis.

0:43:560:43:58

And the great news is, now she's overcome her fears,

0:44:070:44:11

she is absolutely loving the ride.

0:44:110:44:12

Thankfully for Spiros, his plan did not come Acropolis.

0:44:160:44:20

THEY SPEAK GREEK

0:44:200:44:23

Now let's be honest, for wedding day transport,

0:44:330:44:36

most brides want to think royalty, James Bond,

0:44:360:44:39

stretch limo, Maserati, Ferrari.

0:44:390:44:42

Nowhere on that list are the words Fiat and Panda.

0:44:420:44:46

A hop, skip, and a short swim across to Tuscany,

0:44:480:44:50

best man David has arrived to get instructions from Tomas,

0:44:500:44:53

for his wedding to the beautiful, but marginally terrifying, Ramona.

0:44:530:44:58

What?! His mum's run-around?

0:45:040:45:07

And like that, poor David heads off to face Goliath - um, Ramona.

0:45:170:45:20

After Ramona's wedding hat catastrophe,

0:45:280:45:31

Tomas is playing with fire.

0:45:310:45:32

Uh-oh, a ride in her mother-in-law's old banger on her big day?

0:45:510:45:55

This is like poking a tiger with a stick!

0:45:550:45:58

Grooms often like to give their bride a gift on the big day,

0:47:420:47:46

but it's not always just a simple trinket.

0:47:460:47:49

Wedding-day surprises on Don't Tell The Bride are legendary,

0:47:520:47:56

and none more infamous than when John sent Jackie skydiving.

0:47:560:48:01

Oh, my God.

0:48:020:48:05

I'm petrified of flying.

0:48:050:48:07

This is probably the worst possible idea...

0:48:070:48:10

..for the morning of the wedding.

0:48:120:48:16

I think John's an arsehole.

0:48:160:48:18

It's absolutely brilliant. It's my wedding day.

0:48:180:48:20

# And I'm a bad boy... #

0:48:240:48:26

Can you imagine what's going through her mind right now?

0:48:260:48:29

-Her heart is going to be going crazy.

-Oh, my God.

0:48:290:48:31

# Breaking her heart

0:48:330:48:35

# And I'm free

0:48:350:48:39

# Freefalling... #

0:48:410:48:43

There they are. Look!

0:48:460:48:49

# Freefalling... #

0:48:510:48:55

But in Denmark, wedding-day presents really do get bizarre.

0:48:590:49:03

Remember Corina, the bride who flipped out when she tried on

0:49:030:49:06

the wedding dress that her fella Ronnie had designed for her?

0:49:060:49:09

Well, he's about to make up for it by giving her a wedding-day present

0:49:090:49:13

like no other.

0:49:130:49:14

Because nothing says romance like a trip to the...hospital?

0:49:140:49:19

On the big day, Corina receives a letter from her man.

0:49:220:49:26

Jeez. What's wrong with a brooch? Or some underwear?

0:50:100:50:13

And so to the mushy bit that everyone gets their tissues out for.

0:50:320:50:36

The main event.

0:50:360:50:38

And through our romp around the wedding world,

0:50:380:50:40

we found that the vows,

0:50:400:50:42

the "I do"s and the soppy snogs pretty much exist everywhere.

0:50:420:50:46

Here's a little look at how diverse, dreamy and daft

0:50:460:50:50

those moments can be.

0:50:500:50:51

# Hey, baby, I think I wanna marry you

0:50:550:51:02

# Is it the look in your eyes

0:51:020:51:04

# Or is it this dancing juice?

0:51:040:51:08

# Who cares, baby?

0:51:080:51:10

# I think I wanna marry you

0:51:100:51:14

# Well I know this little chapel on the boulevard

0:51:150:51:18

# We can go

0:51:180:51:22

# No-one will know

0:51:220:51:24

# Oh, come on, girl

0:51:250:51:29

# Is it the look in your eyes

0:51:290:51:32

# Or is it this dancing juice?

0:51:320:51:35

# Who cares, baby?

0:51:350:51:38

# I think I wanna marry you. #

0:51:380:51:40

But remember the Swedish groom whose plans were in ruins?

0:51:440:51:48

Well, his marriage to Lotta turned out to be

0:51:480:51:51

what I think is the most romantic international wedding

0:51:510:51:54

on Don't Tell The Bride.

0:51:540:51:56

Lotta has no idea where she's heading.

0:51:580:52:01

MUSIC: "Paradise" by Coldplay

0:52:010:52:03

SNIFFLING

0:52:220:52:25

BRIDE SNIFFLES

0:52:330:52:35

Yes, there's romance in weddings all over the world.

0:53:190:53:22

But when it comes to vows, no-one's more original than the Australians,

0:53:220:53:27

-and not just because they make up their own words.

-Hi!

0:53:270:53:30

HE SNIFFLES

0:53:350:53:37

Today Taryn and Jason stand before us

0:53:400:53:43

to dedicate their lives to each other.

0:53:430:53:45

Jason has actually written the vows for both himself and Taryn today.

0:53:450:53:50

-Ooh!

-Jason, you're my partner.

0:53:500:53:53

-My other half and soul mate.

-My other half and soul mate.

0:53:530:53:56

-I promise to always make your lunch.

-I was going to say that!

0:53:580:54:02

LAUGHTER

0:54:020:54:04

I promise to always make your lunch.

0:54:040:54:06

I'm excited to have YOU the head of our household.

0:54:060:54:10

LAUGHTER

0:54:100:54:13

Excited to have you the head of our household.

0:54:130:54:17

I now have great pleasure in pronouncing you husband and wife.

0:54:170:54:21

Yeah! CHEERING

0:54:210:54:24

If you want me to make you a real promise today,

0:54:240:54:28

it would have to be something I could choose not to do, so promising

0:54:280:54:31

to love, cherish and be faithful are all out of the question, so today

0:54:310:54:34

I promise to always give you the chocolate tip of my Cornetto cones.

0:54:340:54:38

If you ever doubt just how much I love you,

0:54:410:54:43

you just have to remember that I shared my food with you,

0:54:430:54:46

and what larger demonstration of love do you want?

0:54:460:54:49

-I love you.

-I love you.

0:54:510:54:53

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

0:54:530:54:55

Jake, you may kiss your beautiful wife.

0:54:550:54:58

I would like to introduce you today to your celebrant.

0:55:000:55:05

-What's going on?

-It's all right, just trust me.

0:55:050:55:08

Oh, my God, I've always wanted to meet the King!

0:55:170:55:20

We're in an aquarium with Elvis!

0:55:220:55:25

Now, the King loves an audience

0:55:260:55:28

but most of all he loves audience participation.

0:55:280:55:32

Let me hear you say a big ah-ha.

0:55:320:55:34

-AUDIENCE:

-Ah-ha.

0:55:340:55:36

That's beautiful.

0:55:360:55:38

Marriage in the eyes of the King is a serious commitment.

0:55:380:55:42

Jake, repeat after Elvis - I promise I'll never be...

0:55:420:55:46

I promise I'll never be...

0:55:460:55:47

-..a hound dog...

-..a hound dog...

0:55:470:55:49

-..but I'll always be...

-..but I will always be...

0:55:510:55:54

..your hunk-a-hunka love.

0:55:540:55:57

..your hunk-a-hunka love.

0:56:000:56:03

CHEERING

0:56:030:56:04

You may now kiss your bride.

0:56:070:56:08

That's it for our global romp through Don't Tell The Bride.

0:56:150:56:18

I'm off to find a groom. Not too dressy for a first date, is it(?)
