Hollie and James are in love. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:03 | |
-They're planning a wedding, but Hollie's got a bit carried away. -I think I've become a bridezilla. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:09 | |
I would like this. I don't care how much it costs. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:14 | |
But James does. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
They've just bought a house and don't have a penny to spare. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
I'd give her anything but you're going to have to lower your expectations a little bit. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:24 | |
-We can't afford it. -So we're giving them £12,000 towards their big day | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
and a chance for James to prove himself to the woman he loves. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:33 | |
But there's a catch. Every single decision between now and the wedding must be made by James alone. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:39 | |
James will never in a million years ever fulfil her expectations for this wedding. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:45 | |
James and Hollie have agreed in the presence of a lawyer. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
There can be no contact whatsoever. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
And the bride will know absolutely nothing until the big day. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
Three weeks apart will push their relationship to the limit. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
That's BLEEP where we've just been. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
So will James find the perfect venue? | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
I think he's tempted to have his wedding in a nightclub. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
Get the dress right. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
-It's gold. -And will there even be a wedding? | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
We've had a bit of a problem with the office. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
It's had to shut so we've found a different venue. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
Can this man give his bride a day she will never forget? | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
If he gets it right, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
props for life. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
If he doesn't, he's in trouble. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
Tomorrow, Hollie will be moving out | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
and James will have just three weeks to pull off this wedding. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
No mean feat when his future wife is used to being in control. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:51 | |
I'm the boss. I am the boss. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
If she doesn't like it, we're not doing it. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:59 | |
Even as a child, Hollie had to have things her own way. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
She'd only be two, three years old at the most. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
We spent a lot of time making her bedroom really pretty and this one | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
day I went up and she's just sat there, peeling the wallpaper off. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:14 | |
Told me she didn't like it. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
Ever since James proposed six months ago, Hollie's been planning her dream day in meticulous detail. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:23 | |
I do know exactly what I want for my wedding. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
It's very fine-tuned in my head, definitely. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:31 | |
But it's not what's in her head that matters. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
For the next three weeks, James will be taking control of her dream day and her future happiness. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:41 | |
Stay organised. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
I found the person I want to marry and, you know, | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
if this is the way of being with that person and getting married to that person then I'd do it. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:55 | |
She will always look over your shoulder to check that you're doing something right. | 0:02:55 | 0:03:00 | |
This is a brilliant way to show her that, you know, I can do it | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
and it doesn't necessarily have to be done her way for it to be right. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
The biggest day of Hollie's life is now in James' hands. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:14 | |
-Love you. -Love you too. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
The next time they see each other will be at the altar. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
With Hollie out of the way, James heads straight for his wedding-planning HQ. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:31 | |
# Batman | 0:03:31 | 0:03:32 | |
# Batman | 0:03:35 | 0:03:36 | |
# Batman... # | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
This is the Batcave. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:42 | |
All my stuff from university, from places I've lived and stuff | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
is down here cos it doesn't look right in the living room. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
My guitar, CDs, books. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
Hollie doesn't like mess, so all the mess is down here. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
26-year-old James dreams of becoming a teacher but currently works as a builder. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:08 | |
He can't afford to go a penny over budget, so Hollie's grand ideas go straight in the bin. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:13 | |
Fortunately for James, his best man Paul is a bank manager. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:20 | |
-Hi. -All right, mate. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
Got a few problems. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:23 | |
Why on earth I would want to help James organise Hollie's wedding... | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
it's not James and Hollie's... | 0:04:31 | 0:04:32 | |
this is Hollie's wedding. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
I don't want to be a part of that. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
I'm working on damage limitation, beforehand. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
Hollie, it's not my fault. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
If anything goes wrong, it's not me, it's James. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
Hollie's moved back in with her parents just outside Doncaster. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
For the next three weeks, she'll be relying on her chief bridesmaid, Kim. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:57 | |
Kim was born with Bell's Palsy and has known Hollie since they were both three. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:02 | |
Hiya. You all right? | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
Hollie knows what she wants and she usually gets it. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:10 | |
Hollie might know what she wants, but does James? | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
His first and most difficult task is to find the wedding dress. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
It won't be easy and not just because she's used to getting her own way. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
She used to be a bit heavier than she is now. About three stone heavier. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
And she still sees herself as a bigger sort of girl. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
-A larger lady. -A larger lady. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
I love her curves and everything, so it's just about showing off those | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
without making her feel self-conscious and, you know, make her feel beautiful. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:43 | |
The boys aren't the only ones looking at dresses. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
Kim's taking Hollie window shopping but she can only try and not buy. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:52 | |
-Hi, Jackie. -Hiya. Kim. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
Have you anything in particular in mind? | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
I'm very particular. | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
My perfect wedding dress is the one that Audrey Hepburn wore in a film called Sabrina. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:06 | |
Right. Say no more. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
-I mean, I don't mind if that's to the floor, you know, rather than up slightly. -Yeah. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:14 | |
Have you got anything like that? | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
Unlikely. Only one was ever made and it's in the Givenchy archives in Paris. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:21 | |
James can't afford to shop in Paris. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
Never been in anything like this before. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
Right. I've brought a photo. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
Right. There we go. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
This is what we're dealing with. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
Beautiful. And what are your thoughts? | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
Classy but a little bit of sexiness there, as well. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
He'd prefer to see me in something fitted, something to show off | 0:06:39 | 0:06:43 | |
how much weight I've lost, but I would not be comfortable in something like that at all | 0:06:43 | 0:06:48 | |
and I think, if he was to get me something like that, I would be very, very uncomfortable. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:54 | |
I mean, my idea of a wedding dress, anyway, is very princess-style. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
It's not something fitted and slinky. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
OK. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
Hollie's found Doncaster's answer to her Audrey Hepburn dress. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:07 | |
It's got lots of drama and it's certainly not slinky. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
Oh, that's stunning, as well. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
-Oh, that makes... -Oh, Hollie, that looks gorgeous. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:21 | |
You're moving very freely in it, as well. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
I am regretting handing over the choosing of the dress to James | 0:07:27 | 0:07:33 | |
because he's not going to pick anything like this. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
I know full well he won't pick anything like this. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
He'll more likely go for something like that one. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:44 | |
-Oh, God. -In fact, a figure-hugging dress is exactly what's caught James' eye. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:49 | |
So this, I think, would show off Hollie's figure beautiful. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
It's extremely flattering. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
It just draws your attention to the hourglass look which, | 0:07:55 | 0:08:00 | |
-from what I've seen in the photograph, she's got the hourglass figure. -Yeah. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:06 | |
But it's her hourglass figure that Hollie hates. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
And nothing bridesmaid Kim says will convince her otherwise. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:15 | |
What is so wrong with that? It's amazing. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
It's a pretty dress but it's not me. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
It's too clingy. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
-It is gorgeous. -I mean, look at the size of my stomach in this one. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:28 | |
No, no, I don't like it at all. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
Right, visualise... | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
Right, Hollie, | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
in that dress. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:39 | |
'It would be something that she would probably dare not choose.' | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
But then again, she does look good in them, I think, so it's like, you know... | 0:08:42 | 0:08:48 | |
You've got to feel comfortable, that's the thing. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
You have got to feel comfortable. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
-I don't feel comfortable. -Not her choice, though. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
No. It's not her choice, is it? No. | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
-Shut up. -And it's not just the fit she hates. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
No. I don't like it at all. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
It's gold. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
I think it looks lovely with your skin tone. Gold. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
Think it looks really nice. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
James must be reading Kim's mind. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
In the next shop, he also finds himself going for gold. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
You say she's got a lovely complexion. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
I'd play it safe and go with white or ivory. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
But she wouldn't expect that, would she? But it would work. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
-What colour is that to you? He's colour blind, right? -Oh, right. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
So what colour's that to you? | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
-What does it look like? -I don't know, to be honest. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
-Does it look like... -Tell me what you think it is. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
It's like a gold. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
-Right. OK. I don't like it. -Does it look green or something, to you? | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
No, not really. I just don't like it. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
Is there certain colours you can't have with that sort of...? | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
No, it's a very neutral colour. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:50 | |
It's a very soft colour. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
Chocolate browns and golds and oranges. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:56 | |
I don't know. Don't look at me like that. How much is the dress? | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
This dress is 850. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
Paul's still not convinced, but it's under a grand, so the price is right for James. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:11 | |
I'll take that dress today. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:12 | |
-Half today. -Yeah. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
Right. It's a big commitment. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
Easy peasy. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
Nailed it. Got a dress. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
I think he's maybe playing with fire. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
Paul thinks it's a risk, basically, cos of the colour... | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
cos he thinks she'll look at it, see it's not white and then hate it. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:33 | |
Well, it's too late now, James. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
Hollie, dad George and mum Lorraine are Catholic and go to Sunday mass | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
at their parish church, St Peter-in-Chains, every week. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
It's very important for me to get married here. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
I'd definitely feel that if I wasn't married in my church then, | 0:10:59 | 0:11:04 | |
I don't know, I don't think it would feel as special, quite as right. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:09 | |
The problem is, James isn't Catholic and he's getting married in under three weeks. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:16 | |
In the future, when we have children, she wants them to be baptised, in a Catholic church, | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
so it's very important that we get married in a Catholic church... | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
particularly to her family, as well. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:30 | |
That evening, it's James' turn to go to church. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:37 | |
If he wants to get married here, | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
he will have to convince the priest, Father Gus, that his intentions are serious. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:44 | |
How long have you known Hollie? | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
I met Hollie first when I was 16. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
I met her in the same job, but then we met again under different circumstances when I was 21, | 0:11:53 | 0:11:59 | |
so we've been together for around five years | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
-and lived together for round about two years now. -I haven't heard that bit. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:06 | |
James is living in sin and in a hurry to get married. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
His future bride's happiness is now in the hands of Father Gus. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:16 | |
I was about 15 minutes late for Sunday-night mass, | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
which is not a good thing if, one, you're not Catholic, | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
and, secondly, wanting to get married in a Catholic church. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
And thirdly, you're not actually sure if you CAN get married in a Catholic church | 0:12:27 | 0:12:32 | |
because you're not getting any sort of definitive yes or no from the man in charge... Father Gus. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:38 | |
Bless him. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
James needs a plan B. And fast. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
He and Paul are off to find a reception venue that could also perform a standby civil ceremony. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:55 | |
Why don't you just get married at Doncaster Register Office? | 0:12:59 | 0:13:03 | |
Then we have the do in my house. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
-Yeah. -And then we can spend £11,500 on beer! | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
Paul wants to blow the budget on beer, but Hollie was planning to splash the cash on a grand venue. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:16 | |
She's always dreamed of a wedding reception | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
at 18th-century Nostell Priory and is taking Kim on a fantasy tour. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:23 | |
Look at the pictures there. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:24 | |
-They're gorgeous. -Gorgeous, isn't it? | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
I was just going to say, I love that dome bit there. It's amazing. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:32 | |
I'd really like somewhere that has got a bit of a wow factor to it. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:37 | |
I like the wow factor. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
If it's wow factor she's looking for, then James' first choice of venue is certainly memorable. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:47 | |
It's a nightclub near Barnsley. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
The place holds fond memories for James. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
He used to go clubbing there as a single man. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
Everything keeps coming back. You used to come before? | 0:13:56 | 0:14:00 | |
Yeah. When it was the Night Owl, I think. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
I won't ask you about that! | 0:14:03 | 0:14:04 | |
-Through there a minute while I switch some lights on. -OK. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
How would you feel if you were to get married here then? | 0:14:09 | 0:14:13 | |
Ecstatic. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
-It's gorgeous. -It's like my favourite place, really. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
It's completely different to just your normal hotel, sort of thing. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:25 | |
It's very special, isn't it? | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
Yeah. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
James is thinking the same thing. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
And what's more special than a nightclub? | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
With windows over the dance floor, could it be the perfect place for a wedding breakfast with a difference? | 0:14:35 | 0:14:41 | |
This way. This is the balcony where you can actually see, if you've got an artist on, or if you want to... | 0:14:41 | 0:14:49 | |
in fact, if any of the guests want to actually go downstairs... | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
We've got all this for the night do and then we've just got a little area here. I like that. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:57 | |
Every girl wants to feel like a princess | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
and this place does make you feel like you're a princess for the day. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
Like you've come to your own little private castle. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
I think he's very tempted to have his wedding in a nightclub. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
In fact, I think he should have his wedding in a nightclub | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
and probably from this moment on, I'm going to try and force it. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:17 | |
I don't know whether Hollie would appreciate a wedding in a nightclub | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
but she went on this programme and, well, she faces the consequences. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
-So I'm going for nightclub wedding. -Top advice, Paul. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:29 | |
Next up - the Thoresby Hall Hotel is certainly grand, but it has a price tag to match. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:39 | |
The cheapest package is between £6,000 and £7,000. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
-Just for 20 people. -Yeah. -Just the minimum. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
James wants 100 guests, which would cost nearly twice his whole budget. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
Suddenly, a grand's not looking so good. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |
At the cheaper end of the scale, the boys head for Thornhurst Park Golf Club. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:59 | |
It's a bargain at just two grand. But you get what you pay for. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
-Toilets are actually in the room. -This is a little bit more... | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
-Working men's club. -Yeah. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
So far, Paul's favourite, the nightclub, is the front runner | 0:16:10 | 0:16:15 | |
but there is one last place to see. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
Ye Olde Bell is in the next county and it's on a busy A-road. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
If Hollie turned up here, I think her initial view | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
would not be positive. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
-She'd be very apprehensive, I think. She'd be like... "What is this?" -It just kind of looks like a... | 0:16:29 | 0:16:35 | |
-well, it looks like it needs painting. -Yeah. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
It looks like an old dirty pub. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
Hold on, boys. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
Don't judge a pub by its...exterior. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
OK. All right. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
Beautiful, isn't it? | 0:16:48 | 0:16:51 | |
It came from Bradgate House in Leicestershire, where Lady Jane Grey used to live. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:56 | |
I think she might be, "Oh, this is better, I didn't expect this", | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
like we did, but I just don't think she'll be overly impressed. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:04 | |
But, you know, she's your wife, mate. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
Once again, James ignores his best man's advice and decides to book Ye Olde Bell for four grand. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:14 | |
It's a brave move. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
Will he even be able to persuade Hollie to step inside? | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
Today, James finally finds out if he's got a church wedding. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:32 | |
He's already taken a massive risk with his gold dress and pub reception. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:37 | |
If he gets a "no" from the priest, he'll have failed Hollie completely. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:41 | |
The church expects couples to attend six weeks of preparation classes but James doesn't have the time. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:49 | |
The final decision lies with Father Gus. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
It's essential that I feel in my conscience | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
that I'm doing the best I can to ensure that your relationship survives. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:01 | |
Therefore, I think, you know, if it would be possible for you to seriously consider | 0:18:01 | 0:18:08 | |
-doing the marriage course as soon as possible after you've gone through the actual celebration? -Yes. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:15 | |
That would be absolutely our priority. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
Great effort has been made and the willingness to cooperate | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
with our expectations from the Church's point of view. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
Obviously, you know, the marriage is on. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:32 | |
-Excellent. -Yeah. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
Of course, I won't actually be marrying you. Did you know that? | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
No. I didn't know that. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
OK. But I will be there... | 0:18:42 | 0:18:43 | |
because you actually marry each other. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
You're the ministers of the sacrament. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
Oh, my God. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
That was... I'm relieved, very relieved. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
He even had a joke about it, but he was very serious about what was expected there. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:03 | |
With the church booked, James has a Catholic wedding to arrange. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
Shame he's never actually been to one before. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
You do a reading from the Bible. Not you. Nathan. He's going to do it. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:20 | |
Probably be from the Corinthians. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
Well, it is, actually. Yeah. You're just guessing. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
No. You know why? There was a wedding bash on the other week | 0:19:26 | 0:19:31 | |
and he were, "Ah, Corinthians, 312." Put 20 on it. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
I bet it's Corinthians something. I don't know. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
It's Corinthians, and honestly, | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
it might actually be that same one. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
But one of them was saying, the quiet wife is an asset to her husband. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:48 | |
I mean, to be honest, I'd like my wife to be loud and slutty. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
-Yeah. Corinthians 13... -Yeah. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
On the other side of Doncaster, Hollie's back in her childhood bedroom. | 0:19:56 | 0:20:01 | |
Stuck outside the city, she's bored and lonely. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:05 | |
My mum and dad are looking after me. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
The only thing is James has my car so I'm slightly stranded, being as it's a little village. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:17 | |
I'm missing James loads. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
I've not slept properly since I've moved out, | 0:20:19 | 0:20:24 | |
so yeah, I am missing him absolutely loads. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
He best be missing me. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:29 | |
Chief bridesmaid Kim has hatched a plan to take Hollie's mind off James. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
She's booked a recording studio. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:37 | |
Hollie used to sing at school, but hasn't performed in public since. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:43 | |
Can Kim and Hollie's mum persuade her to sing at the wedding? | 0:20:43 | 0:20:47 | |
# You can reach me by railway | 0:20:58 | 0:21:03 | |
# You can reach me by trailway | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
# You can reach me on an aeroplane | 0:21:06 | 0:21:10 | |
# You can reach me with your mind | 0:21:10 | 0:21:16 | |
# You can reach me by caravan | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
# Cross the desert like an Arab man | 0:21:19 | 0:21:24 | |
# I don't care how you get here | 0:21:24 | 0:21:28 | |
# Just get here if you can. # | 0:21:28 | 0:21:33 | |
Hooray! | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
I'd love to be able to persuade her to play at the wedding. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
This song will not be played at my wedding. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
The thought of it being played in front of a lot of people | 0:21:46 | 0:21:50 | |
makes me feel sick again. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:51 | |
I really, really wouldn't be happy if it was played at the wedding. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
In a way it's a surprise for James because he won't be expecting it | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
and you know, all this is a surprise for Hollie. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
Be nice for James to get something, as well. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:05 | |
Back in the Batcave, James has got some serious planning to do. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:11 | |
The dress, venue and church have cost almost half his budget | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
and he still needs a car, cake, rings, invitations, suits, flowers and more. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:22 | |
He wants to spend big on entertainment, | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
so he's hoping to save some money on the bridesmaids' dresses. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:29 | |
Right. Budget first of all, cos this for me, that's most important that we get the budget right. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:36 | |
You can not spend more than £300. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
-Each? -I wish it was each. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
So it's about £100 each. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:43 | |
If you can come under that, you'd be doing me a big favour. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
For colours, we've got oranges, we've got some very light golds or creams. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:52 | |
What will Hollie make of orange and gold? | 0:22:52 | 0:22:56 | |
Hollie's not a very colourful person. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
She tends to wear, herself, quite a lot of neutral colours, lots of blacks, lots of darker colours. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:03 | |
'She doesn't really wear reds and oranges and yellows. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:07 | |
She's not vibrant, like that. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
I don't know how she's going to feel about the whole colour scheme. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:14 | |
They're a bit more expensive. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
-I love this dress. -Yes. I've seen the price. It's £40... | 0:23:21 | 0:23:26 | |
Well, it's £120 over budget. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:30 | |
Well, I ain't saying yes. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
You definitely won't get any shoes if you had these. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
The money is tight. If I start splurging on the budget here, | 0:23:35 | 0:23:40 | |
I'm going to find some problems further down the line. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
That is the best we have. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
It complements Hollie's dress. We're not trying to match it with these. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:54 | |
That's 110, each. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
James needs to make every penny count, but is it worth spending an extra £30 for happy bridesmaids? | 0:23:56 | 0:24:03 | |
-We've got a winner. -Yeah. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
-We're all happy. -Yeah. Brill. -Right. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
Right then, I'll go and sort it out. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:10 | |
While James is out, Hollie's gone back home to pick up some stuff. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:16 | |
It's not hoovered up. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
Oh, my God. What has he been doing? | 0:24:34 | 0:24:38 | |
It's a pigsty. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
OK. I hope the wedding is good because the house is a mess. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:49 | |
He's broken the wash basket. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:52 | |
It is a mess. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
You can realign your jars, Hollie, but can you adjust your expectations? | 0:24:56 | 0:25:01 | |
One. Two. Three. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
Oh, my God. What has he done to them? | 0:25:07 | 0:25:09 | |
I'm just straightening it, making it... | 0:25:10 | 0:25:14 | |
I know that will sound really bad, but making the bed the right way. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:19 | |
There's a way that I make the bed and I'm going to make it. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
Hollie just wants everything back the way it was. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:30 | |
It's a timely reminder to James that the only right way to do things is Hollie's way. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:41 | |
But he'd have to be psychic to achieve that. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
Hollie's been in here. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
What is she like? | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
The thing that gets me goat is... | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
she'll have thought that I'm not keeping the house right, or something. | 0:25:55 | 0:26:00 | |
"Oh, I'll come in and I'll tidy it up. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
I don't know. Hollie probably tidied up because she... | 0:26:02 | 0:26:07 | |
-I don't know... cos it's her house and she wants stuff the way she wants it. -In one. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:12 | |
Hollie and her mum are going to catch up with her extended family. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:19 | |
The word is, she's finding it hard to relinquish control, | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
so her aunties have decided to wind her up a bit. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:27 | |
He knows you're a diva so he'll plan everything to what he wants. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
I think it'll be great. I can't wait. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
I think it took her a long time to accept that it's not in her hands, but I just think she still thinks... | 0:26:33 | 0:26:39 | |
maybe I can find something out, maybe I can find something out. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
-Yeah. -We need to mislead her a little bit. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:45 | |
-That's what aunties do. -Yeah. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:46 | |
-His attention to detail is different to mine. -Yeah. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:51 | |
Like he'll focus more on music than he will other things. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:57 | |
As long as Masterdom don't turn up. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
-Who? -Some rock band he took me to see on Valentine's Day that he thought would be really romantic. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:04 | |
We were saying about Moby Dick, so how romantic is that? | 0:27:04 | 0:27:08 | |
-OK. -Yeah. So, as long as they don't turn up to do the wedding set...! | 0:27:08 | 0:27:13 | |
Kimberley made me... | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
go to a recording studio and they made me do a song for him. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:19 | |
You've got a fantastic voice and it'll be great. It can't be any worse | 0:27:19 | 0:27:23 | |
than your dad and your mum's wedding. Auntie Johnson got up and sung this song. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
It's tradition, so at the end of the day you can't break it. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:31 | |
Now you've done this song, you've got to sing it for James. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:34 | |
There's no buts. And I'm holding you to that as your auntie. Yeah? | 0:27:34 | 0:27:38 | |
A week in, and James still hasn't bought a cake, rings, suits or flowers. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:46 | |
Worse, he's not even sent a single invitation. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:50 | |
-But one thing he hasn't forgotten about is his stag do. -I don't know what they're going to do. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:55 | |
I've had tips off people who's had stag dos before | 0:27:55 | 0:27:57 | |
about where to hide money and stuff. | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 | |
Best man Paul has planned a pub crawl in Sheffield | 0:28:08 | 0:28:12 | |
and despite the rain he's keen to get James into as many bars as possible. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:16 | |
Hollie normally keeps him on a slightly tight leash. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:22 | |
If she says he's got to be in by quarter past twelve, 11.30 at most, | 0:28:22 | 0:28:27 | |
then he's off home, he's got the big thumb pushing down on his head. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:31 | |
Not tonight he hasn't. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
The boys do their best to make sure he catches up on lost drinking time. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:37 | |
If Hollie could see him now, | 0:28:47 | 0:28:50 | |
why would she worry about the biggest day of her life? | 0:28:50 | 0:28:54 | |
With his fun over, | 0:29:01 | 0:29:03 | |
it's time for James to knuckle down and prove himself to his bride-to-be. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:07 | |
Basically, I need to make this the best day she will ever have, | 0:29:09 | 0:29:13 | |
to knock her socks off, to absolutely blow her away, | 0:29:13 | 0:29:16 | |
so that she knows that I've not just, you know, | 0:29:16 | 0:29:19 | |
phoned up a load of things and booked them and just gone, "I'll have this." | 0:29:19 | 0:29:23 | |
I've actually thought about it. | 0:29:23 | 0:29:25 | |
It's the little things and so, you know, how am I going to impress her? | 0:29:25 | 0:29:31 | |
But impressing Hollie doesn't come cheap | 0:29:31 | 0:29:34 | |
and he's only allocated 500 quid to spend on wow factor. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:38 | |
Hollie's taking her mum to the National Wedding Show in Birmingham, | 0:29:40 | 0:29:44 | |
looking for inspiration for those all-important details. | 0:29:44 | 0:29:47 | |
She wants a black-and-white theme and has found her dream table setting, complete with chair covers. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:54 | |
These have got diamantes on. | 0:29:54 | 0:29:56 | |
They have got little diamantes on, haven't they? | 0:29:56 | 0:29:59 | |
So that's what you wanted? | 0:29:59 | 0:30:01 | |
Yeah. This is the sort... these are the colours that I wanted. | 0:30:01 | 0:30:04 | |
-The black-and-white. -Yeah. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:06 | |
Back home, James has found his perfect showstopper. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:10 | |
A team of break dancers. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:13 | |
But at 850 quid, he'd have to sacrifice something else that he's already accounted for. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:21 | |
Honestly, I think chair-covers business is just something... | 0:30:21 | 0:30:24 | |
..created by the wedding industry | 0:30:27 | 0:30:30 | |
and if it's between that and having something pretty cool, then... | 0:30:30 | 0:30:35 | |
..you know, not the chair covers. | 0:30:38 | 0:30:41 | |
Whether James'll get the little touches that make it feel personal and... | 0:30:41 | 0:30:46 | |
obviously, he'll get the big things, the venue, the dress and suits and stuff... | 0:30:46 | 0:30:51 | |
-But if he can get things like this. -Yeah. The chair covers and the table decorations. Will they be...? | 0:30:51 | 0:30:57 | |
-MOBILE PHONE RINGS -This is the break dancers now. What am I going to say? | 0:30:57 | 0:31:01 | |
Hello. | 0:31:04 | 0:31:05 | |
Hi. You all right? Right. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:09 | |
What I've got at the moment... | 0:31:09 | 0:31:11 | |
I'm a bit tight on the budget, | 0:31:13 | 0:31:14 | |
so what I'm sort of going to do is I'm going to... | 0:31:14 | 0:31:19 | |
if I cancel the chair covers... | 0:31:19 | 0:31:21 | |
This is what it's coming down to. | 0:31:23 | 0:31:25 | |
I'd rather have some good dancers than have chair covers | 0:31:25 | 0:31:29 | |
and she may not agree with me but it's my decision. | 0:31:29 | 0:31:32 | |
It's a little bit upsetting and I'm trying not to cry, | 0:31:32 | 0:31:36 | |
but it's like a big ball in my stomach knowing that nothing that I look at I can have. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:43 | |
I'm wondering what on earth James has chosen. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:46 | |
If, after our first dance, nice and romantic, | 0:31:46 | 0:31:49 | |
that kicks off the night do, I think that could be really cool. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:55 | |
Cooler than just having some nice chairs. | 0:31:56 | 0:31:59 | |
Not being able to plan my own wedding is really hard work. | 0:31:59 | 0:32:02 | |
If James knew what Hollie was going through, would he be taking so many risks? | 0:32:07 | 0:32:12 | |
It's a week before the wedding and James is finally sending out his invitations. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:27 | |
He needs to catch the last post but can't find a post box with a late collection. | 0:32:27 | 0:32:32 | |
If he misses it, his guests won't have time to reply. | 0:32:32 | 0:32:36 | |
It's where we've just been! | 0:32:41 | 0:32:44 | |
He's got to head back across town to the main sorting office. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:48 | |
Oh, and stamps would be a good idea. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:50 | |
One thing is for sure, if it was a woman doing this job, it wouldn't have happened like this. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:57 | |
If Hollie was doing it, they'd have been sent out two weeks ago. | 0:32:57 | 0:33:01 | |
Is that it? | 0:33:03 | 0:33:04 | |
It don't look like a post box, does it? | 0:33:04 | 0:33:06 | |
7.30. Three minutes left. Gosh. | 0:33:09 | 0:33:15 | |
Nearly didn't do it. | 0:33:19 | 0:33:21 | |
So James will have guests at his wedding, | 0:33:21 | 0:33:24 | |
but he still hasn't got flowers, table decorations or Hollie's shoes and veil. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:29 | |
And he's only got 1,200 quid left. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:33 | |
The pressure is on and his pride is on the line. | 0:33:33 | 0:33:36 | |
Three days before the wedding. James heads back to the dress shop for Hollie's accessories. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:48 | |
How much are you spending on your shoes? | 0:33:48 | 0:33:51 | |
-I don't want to spend too much, to be honest. -Don't you? | 0:33:51 | 0:33:55 | |
No. My budget, originally, sort of like 300 quid for accessories. | 0:33:55 | 0:33:59 | |
They're 71. Or there's some 165. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:03 | |
Honestly, I've got to say, there's no point even looking at those, | 0:34:03 | 0:34:06 | |
I just can't do that. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:08 | |
Right. How much is a veil, then, before I start spending other money? | 0:34:08 | 0:34:12 | |
You're looking...about £200. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:16 | |
Are you liking that look, James? | 0:34:16 | 0:34:17 | |
I'm loving it, rocking it. Yeah. Go on. Tell me how much that is. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:21 | |
SHE GASPS | 0:34:21 | 0:34:23 | |
It's £115. | 0:34:23 | 0:34:26 | |
Oh, God! | 0:34:26 | 0:34:27 | |
Well, you've just spent £400 there. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:33 | |
My budget is being destroyed, by accessories. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:38 | |
Next up, flowers. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:44 | |
And James is clearly out of his depth. | 0:34:44 | 0:34:47 | |
That arrangement there with the oranges, | 0:34:47 | 0:34:49 | |
there's some oranges in there, is it an arrangement to go around the venue? | 0:34:49 | 0:34:54 | |
Not that exactly, but... | 0:34:54 | 0:34:56 | |
You could do something on those lines. | 0:34:56 | 0:34:59 | |
-Yeah. -That one being artificial, it's a bit more difficult to match the colours... -Yeah. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:05 | |
-..to fresh flowers. -Right. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:07 | |
-I quite like that orange. I think that could work. -Yeah. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:10 | |
We'll have bows like that, and the oranges. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:13 | |
-We've got the colour of the dress in that, as well. -Five. Ten. So that's 515. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:18 | |
515. Can you get it any cheaper than that? Just... | 0:35:18 | 0:35:23 | |
Erm... | 0:35:23 | 0:35:25 | |
474. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:31 | |
-Yeah. -Is that better? -Every little helps. | 0:35:31 | 0:35:34 | |
Back at her parents', Hollie's getting ready for her big night out. | 0:35:37 | 0:35:40 | |
Well, hen do. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:44 | |
Last official night out. | 0:35:44 | 0:35:47 | |
Looking forward to it. | 0:35:47 | 0:35:49 | |
-There'll be lots of drinking, lots of dancing... -..and lots of being a diva. | 0:35:49 | 0:35:55 | |
Excuse me! | 0:35:55 | 0:35:56 | |
Bugger off. They're not filming you, they're filming me. | 0:35:56 | 0:36:00 | |
What?! It's my hen do. | 0:36:01 | 0:36:03 | |
Bugger off! | 0:36:03 | 0:36:05 | |
It's not your holiday. It's mine. Bugger off! | 0:36:07 | 0:36:11 | |
She's having a fantastic night. | 0:36:11 | 0:36:12 | |
I think she's extremely drunk. What do you reckon? | 0:36:12 | 0:36:14 | |
She's really drunk, but yeah, I think she's having a great time. | 0:36:14 | 0:36:18 | |
I'm having a great time. | 0:36:18 | 0:36:20 | |
While Hollie lets her hair down, Paul's on his way round to James' for a quiet night in. | 0:36:21 | 0:36:26 | |
-How are we? -Hello. Come on. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:30 | |
-Oh, bollocks. -It don't matter. Come on. Bring it in. | 0:36:30 | 0:36:34 | |
Hollie, are you watching this? | 0:36:34 | 0:36:36 | |
James has been watching Dirty Dancing | 0:36:39 | 0:36:41 | |
and wants to impress Hollie with some new moves when they do their first dance. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:46 | |
Don't start taking your clothes off. | 0:36:46 | 0:36:48 | |
Believe me, you're not any more embarrassed than I am. | 0:36:50 | 0:36:53 | |
Really? | 0:36:53 | 0:36:54 | |
Talking of embarrassing... | 0:36:55 | 0:36:58 | |
I fell off the stage once or twice. | 0:37:01 | 0:37:04 | |
-Never mind her, man. -Excuse me. It's my wedding! | 0:37:04 | 0:37:08 | |
All right. | 0:37:08 | 0:37:10 | |
-Your dad's going to see that. -My dad's going to kill me. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:14 | |
(Come here, love.) | 0:37:22 | 0:37:23 | |
I'm so happy. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:26 | |
You wanna role-play?! | 0:37:27 | 0:37:29 | |
-You've made it such a special day. -Don't you try and kiss me! | 0:37:29 | 0:37:32 | |
I'll be Hollie. She comes down, then back. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:51 | |
Then out. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:52 | |
And I just pull her back to me. So then we just like... that. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:55 | |
-So manly. -That's what I'm supposed to be like. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:58 | |
It kind of felt like one of the most degrading moments of MY life. | 0:37:58 | 0:38:02 | |
-Like a married couple. -I was going to say, I feel like I'm your wife. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:06 | |
Actually, no, I'll be the husband. You be the wife. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:09 | |
-Well, I've cooked. -I'll cook, you wash. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:11 | |
It's the day before the wedding and James still has a list of chores. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:20 | |
First up, is the wedding cake. | 0:38:20 | 0:38:22 | |
Oh, my God. I've got to be so careful with this now. | 0:38:22 | 0:38:25 | |
He's put orange on everything to co-ordinate with Hollie's gold dress. | 0:38:25 | 0:38:30 | |
But Hollie's the girl who wanted a monochrome colour scheme. | 0:38:30 | 0:38:34 | |
It's got some right weight on it. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:37 | |
Tomorrow he'll be judged not just by Hollie, but her family and 100 other guests. | 0:38:37 | 0:38:45 | |
The first thing Hollie will be judging him on is the most important dress of her life. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:51 | |
Today, she finally gets to see what James has chosen for her. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:57 | |
I'm hoping it's black and white like the picture that I've shown you of Audrey Hepburn. | 0:38:57 | 0:39:03 | |
That's what I'm hoping that it's like. | 0:39:03 | 0:39:05 | |
James has warned me that you might throw a tantrum if you don't like it. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:09 | |
-Oh, no! -I'm feeling the responsibility. Lorraine... -Thank you. | 0:39:09 | 0:39:15 | |
I'll take Hollie into this room. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:17 | |
No dress here yet, Hollie. | 0:39:17 | 0:39:19 | |
I want to get you ready. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:21 | |
-I want to blindfold you. -What?! | 0:39:21 | 0:39:24 | |
Blindfolded? That's fair? | 0:39:24 | 0:39:27 | |
OK. | 0:39:29 | 0:39:30 | |
OK. No peeping. | 0:39:31 | 0:39:34 | |
-Can't see anything. -Good. | 0:39:34 | 0:39:36 | |
Might just sit up more. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:38 | |
I want to know what it looks like. | 0:39:45 | 0:39:47 | |
It better be good. I've got little control now over a lot of things. | 0:39:48 | 0:39:53 | |
I've put them in motion and I can't grab hold of them again now. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:56 | |
Oh, Hollie, you look beautiful. | 0:39:56 | 0:39:58 | |
Think the blindfold does it. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:00 | |
You do look beautiful. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:02 | |
-Thank you. -OK. Shall we take you to see your mum? | 0:40:02 | 0:40:05 | |
Done my best for this and if it's not good enough I won't know where to put myself. | 0:40:05 | 0:40:09 | |
I've undone the knot. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:13 | |
Open your eyes and have a look. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:15 | |
Oh, my God. | 0:40:15 | 0:40:17 | |
It's really not what I would have chosen at all, but it's beautiful. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:24 | |
James can't have chosen it. Did he choose it by himself? | 0:40:29 | 0:40:33 | |
He had to have an argument with Paul, the best man, | 0:40:33 | 0:40:36 | |
because HE didn't think you'd like the colour. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:40 | |
I do like the colour. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:43 | |
It's not stark white... | 0:40:43 | 0:40:44 | |
-He's done a really good job, hasn't he? -He has. Yeah. | 0:40:49 | 0:40:52 | |
-I'm shaking. -You're not the only one. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:56 | |
# She's so lovely, she's so lovely | 0:40:57 | 0:41:00 | |
# She's so lovely, she's so lovely... # | 0:41:00 | 0:41:04 | |
That is beautiful. | 0:41:04 | 0:41:06 | |
-I feel like a princess in this. -You look like a princess in it. | 0:41:06 | 0:41:10 | |
James stuck his neck out and his bravery has paid off. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:16 | |
Will his other decisions go down as well? | 0:41:16 | 0:41:19 | |
In Doncaster, James is running out of time and has asked chief usher, Curly, to help him out. | 0:41:22 | 0:41:28 | |
He's got a cunning idea to keep the wedding location a surprise from Hollie. | 0:41:31 | 0:41:35 | |
She wants the church but she doesn't know definitely she's got it, | 0:41:37 | 0:41:40 | |
-so the car's going to pull up to the Registry Office, where you'll be standing... -Right. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:45 | |
..with a little note and maybe quite a bit of an apologetic sort of expression, kind of... | 0:41:45 | 0:41:49 | |
-he's done his best, but it closes at 12, so we've had to go somewhere else. -Yeah. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:56 | |
And she then goes on to St Peter's. | 0:41:56 | 0:41:59 | |
With everything in place, James finally spends his last £100 on wedding favours. | 0:42:00 | 0:42:05 | |
So that's 26. | 0:42:05 | 0:42:08 | |
26 and they're 45 quid for 100. | 0:42:08 | 0:42:11 | |
Yeah. Let's do that then. | 0:42:11 | 0:42:14 | |
He's given his all. | 0:42:14 | 0:42:16 | |
But will his all be enough for Hollie? | 0:42:16 | 0:42:19 | |
Honestly, right, I'm just looking forward to spending time with her, | 0:42:19 | 0:42:23 | |
you know what I mean, just growing a little bit older with her | 0:42:23 | 0:42:28 | |
as a married couple. There's nothing scary about it...at all. | 0:42:28 | 0:42:34 | |
The only scary thing is if she wasn't there. | 0:42:34 | 0:42:37 | |
Getting married to James means I get to spend the rest of my life | 0:42:37 | 0:42:42 | |
with the most amazing person. | 0:42:42 | 0:42:44 | |
It's the day of the wedding. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:53 | |
After three weeks of separation, James and Hollie will finally tie the knot. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:58 | |
In the rush of the last few weeks, James hasn't forgotten that it's the personal touches that count. | 0:43:01 | 0:43:07 | |
What's it say? | 0:43:09 | 0:43:11 | |
Ahh. | 0:43:22 | 0:43:24 | |
They're my favourite hearts. | 0:43:24 | 0:43:26 | |
Oh, bless him. | 0:43:30 | 0:43:31 | |
It says, "I hope you like everything I have chosen, lots of love, your future husband, Mr James Sandford. | 0:43:31 | 0:43:37 | |
"PS... I now know that I cannot be without you. | 0:43:37 | 0:43:40 | |
"The only dreams I need to realise... SHE SOBS | 0:43:40 | 0:43:43 | |
"..are those we dream together." | 0:43:43 | 0:43:45 | |
Ahh. | 0:43:45 | 0:43:47 | |
They may share the same dreams but do they share the same taste? | 0:43:47 | 0:43:52 | |
When Hollie sees her flowers, James' bold colour scheme will finally be revealed. | 0:43:52 | 0:43:57 | |
Flowers! | 0:43:57 | 0:43:59 | |
Which one's mine? | 0:43:59 | 0:44:00 | |
Very surprising with the colour scheme. Orange. | 0:44:02 | 0:44:05 | |
I just wouldn't have thought orange... | 0:44:05 | 0:44:09 | |
at all. | 0:44:09 | 0:44:11 | |
James has been very brave. | 0:44:11 | 0:44:13 | |
# Love is in the air | 0:44:13 | 0:44:14 | |
# Everywhere I look around... # | 0:44:14 | 0:44:17 | |
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My name is George. I'm Hollie's dad... | 0:44:17 | 0:44:21 | |
# Love is in the air | 0:44:21 | 0:44:22 | |
# Every sight and every sound... # | 0:44:22 | 0:44:24 | |
She looks very, very pretty. | 0:44:24 | 0:44:26 | |
Come on! | 0:44:26 | 0:44:29 | |
# And I don't know if I'm being foolish | 0:44:29 | 0:44:33 | |
# Don't know if I'm being wise... # | 0:44:33 | 0:44:36 | |
Never hurt this much yesterday. | 0:44:36 | 0:44:38 | |
That's my phone. Please don't pull that down. | 0:44:38 | 0:44:41 | |
-Oh, wow! -That looks divine. | 0:44:48 | 0:44:50 | |
That looks really nice. | 0:44:50 | 0:44:53 | |
It's beautiful. | 0:44:53 | 0:44:54 | |
The wedding's in three hours and James still needs to decorate the reception venue, | 0:44:57 | 0:45:02 | |
put out place names and get changed. | 0:45:02 | 0:45:04 | |
But he's forgotten the table plan. | 0:45:04 | 0:45:07 | |
-Isn't it... Angela? -No. | 0:45:07 | 0:45:09 | |
-Angela's on three. -Elizabeth Jones. | 0:45:09 | 0:45:11 | |
Barbara. My auntie Barbara is table six, I believe. | 0:45:11 | 0:45:14 | |
Stephen Sharpe. | 0:45:14 | 0:45:15 | |
That's Laura Hedley's sister's fiance. | 0:45:15 | 0:45:18 | |
Put my Uncle Ray next to my Auntie Barbara. | 0:45:18 | 0:45:21 | |
It could go either way at the moment, so we're just stressed, | 0:45:21 | 0:45:25 | |
very aware I've got very little time to get everything together. | 0:45:25 | 0:45:28 | |
I feel beautiful, so as long as I feel beautiful... | 0:45:28 | 0:45:35 | |
I'd kill him if it were down the pub. | 0:45:36 | 0:45:39 | |
At this minute in time, with everything he's done, I don't think he'll be down the pub. | 0:45:41 | 0:45:47 | |
Meanwhile, down at the pub, James realises he hasn't ordered enough flowers for every table. | 0:45:47 | 0:45:53 | |
-So this is the last... -You only told us ten. -Oh, damn it. | 0:45:53 | 0:45:58 | |
If his gamble on the venue is to pay off, everything needs to be perfect. | 0:45:58 | 0:46:05 | |
-Is that OK, just a few petals there? -Yeah. | 0:46:05 | 0:46:07 | |
Maybe just scattered on the top just to be extra difficult for you. | 0:46:07 | 0:46:10 | |
-Thank you. We've got to get moving now and get a suit on. -All the best. | 0:46:10 | 0:46:14 | |
-Thank you. -Have a good day. | 0:46:14 | 0:46:15 | |
-Cheers. Thank you. -No problem. | 0:46:15 | 0:46:17 | |
Come on. Come on. | 0:46:19 | 0:46:20 | |
Hollie's been going to the same church since she was a child | 0:46:30 | 0:46:34 | |
but she still doesn't know if she's getting married in it. | 0:46:34 | 0:46:38 | |
Where are we going? | 0:46:38 | 0:46:39 | |
Church is that way. | 0:46:43 | 0:46:45 | |
Where are we going? | 0:46:45 | 0:46:47 | |
The driver's under strict instructions | 0:46:52 | 0:46:54 | |
to take her to the Registry Office and to take his time getting there. | 0:46:54 | 0:46:59 | |
She's already 15 minutes late and only James knows where she is. | 0:46:59 | 0:47:03 | |
Curly is in position, but is now really the time to be playing practical jokes? | 0:47:09 | 0:47:13 | |
This is a bit of a trick for James. Obviously, she'll pull up here, | 0:47:13 | 0:47:17 | |
think she's going to have a Registry Office... | 0:47:17 | 0:47:19 | |
We'll try and blag it a bit that something happened, | 0:47:19 | 0:47:22 | |
then change venue to a different church further down the road. | 0:47:22 | 0:47:26 | |
Why are we going to the Registry Office? | 0:47:26 | 0:47:29 | |
There's two people in suits like yours stood there. | 0:47:34 | 0:47:37 | |
He couldn't get the church, then? | 0:47:41 | 0:47:44 | |
No. Obviously not. | 0:47:44 | 0:47:46 | |
That's Matt, Matt Curly's car. | 0:47:48 | 0:47:50 | |
And Rob. | 0:47:53 | 0:47:55 | |
-You all right? -Yeah. -You going to be all right? | 0:48:16 | 0:48:18 | |
Right. We've a problem with the Office. | 0:48:18 | 0:48:20 | |
It's had to shut so we've found a different venue | 0:48:20 | 0:48:23 | |
but I have to whisper it to the driver so you can't hear. | 0:48:23 | 0:48:26 | |
..You need to sort that out. | 0:48:26 | 0:48:28 | |
-OK. -Are you all right just to get out for two secs so I can whisper to you where we're going? | 0:48:28 | 0:48:32 | |
I don't like not knowing what's happening. | 0:48:37 | 0:48:39 | |
I'm shaking even more now. | 0:48:40 | 0:48:43 | |
-Pretend you know where you're going. -Yeah. Right. -Right. Go for it. Yeah. Cheers. | 0:48:43 | 0:48:50 | |
Can Hollie really believe that James can't even arrange a Registry Office wedding? | 0:48:50 | 0:48:55 | |
My stomach dropped... | 0:48:55 | 0:48:57 | |
cos... | 0:48:57 | 0:48:58 | |
he obviously weren't able to get the church, if we were going in there. | 0:48:59 | 0:49:03 | |
So... | 0:49:03 | 0:49:06 | |
and I really wanted the church. | 0:49:06 | 0:49:09 | |
Little does she know that she's got it. | 0:49:09 | 0:49:13 | |
But will James' practical joke backfire? | 0:49:13 | 0:49:16 | |
(Go down there. Go down there.) | 0:49:19 | 0:49:22 | |
We're going in the right direction. | 0:49:22 | 0:49:24 | |
We're going past it! | 0:49:24 | 0:49:26 | |
Don't say that, Dad. Oh, my God... | 0:49:26 | 0:49:30 | |
I daren't look in case we do drive past it. | 0:49:34 | 0:49:37 | |
I think I'll have lost the will to live by then. | 0:49:37 | 0:49:40 | |
No. I see one of our cars. | 0:49:47 | 0:49:49 | |
We're going to the church! | 0:49:51 | 0:49:54 | |
Everyone's waiting for me. | 0:49:54 | 0:49:56 | |
So, ladies and gentlemen, if you'd be please so kind as to stand to greet the bridal party. | 0:50:00 | 0:50:06 | |
MUSIC BEGINS | 0:50:06 | 0:50:08 | |
Is that Liz playing? | 0:50:13 | 0:50:15 | |
MUSIC STOPS | 0:50:39 | 0:50:41 | |
The Lord be with you. | 0:50:41 | 0:50:43 | |
Also, with you. | 0:50:43 | 0:50:45 | |
THEY WHISPER | 0:50:50 | 0:50:51 | |
Hollie Louise Taylor, take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity. | 0:50:51 | 0:50:56 | |
In the name of the Father, the Son and of the Holy Spirit. | 0:50:56 | 0:51:02 | |
Amen. | 0:51:02 | 0:51:04 | |
Don't know if it will go on. | 0:51:04 | 0:51:07 | |
There you go. | 0:51:07 | 0:51:10 | |
It's high time that James got his well-deserved kiss from the bride, | 0:51:10 | 0:51:15 | |
after all that? | 0:51:15 | 0:51:16 | |
Oh, just amazing. | 0:51:30 | 0:51:32 | |
I just... I am well pleased with that dress. I mean... | 0:51:32 | 0:51:37 | |
..absolutely gorgeous. Stunning. I couldn't stop looking at her. | 0:51:39 | 0:51:43 | |
I haven't even thought about the next bit so... | 0:51:43 | 0:51:45 | |
I'm still excited but I am just so happy to have been in my church and to get married here. | 0:51:45 | 0:51:52 | |
But how long will her happiness last? | 0:51:56 | 0:51:58 | |
Hollie wanted a reception in a stately home. | 0:51:58 | 0:52:02 | |
Instead, she's getting a pub. | 0:52:02 | 0:52:06 | |
Or will she think that this is also one of James' jokes? | 0:52:06 | 0:52:11 | |
I'm thinking I've come to a pub. | 0:52:18 | 0:52:19 | |
It could be quite disappointing. Yeah. | 0:52:25 | 0:52:28 | |
Obviously, I'm comparing it to Nostell Priory, | 0:52:28 | 0:52:31 | |
so from the first impressions, the look of it is nothing like Nostell. | 0:52:31 | 0:52:38 | |
So will the interior win her over? | 0:52:40 | 0:52:42 | |
Right. If we just open... | 0:52:42 | 0:52:44 | |
SHE GASPS IN DELIGHT | 0:52:44 | 0:52:46 | |
Oh-my-God! | 0:52:46 | 0:52:50 | |
It looks gorgeous in here. | 0:52:53 | 0:52:55 | |
And I've noticed there isn't any chair covers, but do you know what, | 0:52:55 | 0:52:59 | |
the little red bits and stuff and you've got gold and gold... | 0:52:59 | 0:53:03 | |
I've got to say that was a fluke, but, you know... | 0:53:03 | 0:53:06 | |
Yeah. But it does. It all goes. | 0:53:06 | 0:53:08 | |
It looks beautiful in here. | 0:53:08 | 0:53:10 | |
So, the theme was orange. | 0:53:11 | 0:53:13 | |
Orange roses. We've got the orange cake. We've got orange rose petals scattered around. | 0:53:13 | 0:53:18 | |
I would have never, ever thought of orange, James. | 0:53:20 | 0:53:25 | |
It's a very daring colour. | 0:53:25 | 0:53:27 | |
-It's beautiful. -So are you. | 0:53:28 | 0:53:30 | |
You're so good. | 0:53:32 | 0:53:33 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, will you please be upstanding to welcome the new Mr and Mrs Sandford! | 0:53:35 | 0:53:43 | |
There's one individual who's worked tirelessly throughout these last few weeks | 0:53:55 | 0:53:59 | |
at trying to make this day as special and beautiful as Hollie would hope | 0:53:59 | 0:54:03 | |
and a kind of day which she would be proud of. | 0:54:03 | 0:54:06 | |
OK. So this next toast, OK... | 0:54:06 | 0:54:09 | |
..is to Paul...the best man. | 0:54:12 | 0:54:15 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:54:15 | 0:54:16 | |
After being wowed by all James' hard work, it's Hollie's turn to surprise HIM. | 0:54:19 | 0:54:25 | |
Kimberley made me do something I didn't want to do. | 0:54:25 | 0:54:29 | |
She made me go and record something | 0:54:29 | 0:54:33 | |
which...you know I don't really like singing, | 0:54:33 | 0:54:37 | |
but you've never heard me sing and I know you wanted to hear me sing. | 0:54:37 | 0:54:41 | |
So, I've recorded a song for you and they're going to play it, | 0:54:42 | 0:54:47 | |
cos you've done all this for me. | 0:54:47 | 0:54:49 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:54:49 | 0:54:51 | |
# You can reach me by railway | 0:55:03 | 0:55:08 | |
# You can reach me by trailway | 0:55:08 | 0:55:12 | |
# You can reach me on an aeroplane | 0:55:12 | 0:55:16 | |
# You can reach me with your mind... | 0:55:16 | 0:55:20 | |
# You can reach me by caravan | 0:55:20 | 0:55:25 | |
# Across the desert like an Arab man | 0:55:25 | 0:55:29 | |
# I don't care when you get here | 0:55:30 | 0:55:33 | |
# Just get here if you can. # | 0:55:33 | 0:55:36 | |
Hollie's very proud of what he's achieved, very proud. | 0:55:36 | 0:55:40 | |
And I think that's quite obvious to people that know them. | 0:55:40 | 0:55:44 | |
If he can plan our wedding in three weeks, he can do anything. | 0:55:44 | 0:55:48 | |
I think he's surprised everyone. | 0:55:48 | 0:55:51 | |
I think he might even have surprised himself, cos he's done really, really well. | 0:55:51 | 0:55:56 | |
I've never been this content or happy with something that I've done, | 0:55:56 | 0:56:02 | |
so I'm very proud of myself. | 0:56:02 | 0:56:05 | |
DRUM INTRO | 0:56:05 | 0:56:07 | |
James has given Hollie her perfect day, but he's done it his way. | 0:56:07 | 0:56:11 | |
-He even knew that break dancers are better than chair covers. -What's this?! | 0:56:11 | 0:56:16 | |
