0:00:02 > 0:00:06Stephen and Shelley are in love, desperate to take the plunge.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10There'll never be anyone like Stephen. He's definitely the one.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12But they don't have the funds.
0:00:12 > 0:00:17There's no way I could pay for the wedding that Shelley deserves.
0:00:17 > 0:00:23We're giving them £12,000 towards their big day, but there's a catch.
0:00:23 > 0:00:28Every decision until the wedding must be made by Stephen, alone.
0:00:28 > 0:00:33I would like to say I trusted Stephen 100%, but I don't!
0:00:33 > 0:00:40They have agreed in the presence of a lawyer that the bride will know nothing before the wedding.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- Easy! - SHELLEY LAUGHS
0:00:43 > 0:00:49Three weeks apart will push their relationship to the limit.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Can Stephen get the colour scheme right?
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Shelley hates burgundy!
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Will he survive his stag night?
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Pushed me down the stairs. What a dick!
0:01:01 > 0:01:04And will he invite anyone?
0:01:04 > 0:01:09It's fine planning a wedding but if nobody's there, what's the point?
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Can this man give his bride her perfect day?
0:01:12 > 0:01:17If she doesn't like that dress, I'm marrying the wrong person.
0:01:27 > 0:01:33'Stephen and Shelley live together in Newcastle, but Shelley's moving in with her parents,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36'leaving Stephen to plan her wedding.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40'They've been together five years, meeting on a university night out.'
0:01:40 > 0:01:46- I thought you were a bit of a lad. - For me it must have been love quick.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50I told you I love you quite fast, which you were a bit...shocked by!
0:01:50 > 0:01:54'Three years later, Stephen got down on one knee.'
0:01:54 > 0:02:01I was in shock. I didn't think he would do it there and then. My head probably went a bit fuzzy.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05'But not so fuzzy that she couldn't pick her own bit of bling.'
0:02:05 > 0:02:08I wouldn't have picked the ring.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13If Stephen had picked the ring, I would have learned to have loved it!
0:02:13 > 0:02:17'Will she learn to love a wedding that's in Stephen's control?'
0:02:17 > 0:02:21I hope that it's tears of joy I see, not tears of anger,
0:02:21 > 0:02:25that I've mucked things up for her big day.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- I love you. - I love you too, sweetheart.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33'He'll know soon enough. Meanwhile, Shelley moves out for three weeks.'
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- I love you. - VOICE BREAKING: I love you. Bye-bye.
0:02:36 > 0:02:41'The biggest day of her life is now in his hands.'
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Give us a kiss.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50# This is for lovers
0:02:50 > 0:02:52# Running away... #
0:02:52 > 0:02:55I'll miss him loads.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57I just love him to bits.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03'Keen to get started, our groom calls in reinforcements
0:03:03 > 0:03:07in the shape of best man Mark and mate Cosh.'
0:03:07 > 0:03:11I would be flapping! I'd throw myself out that window!
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- It's only a four-foot drop!- Aye.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19Right, we've got a budget of 16 and a half...
0:03:19 > 0:03:24'Electrical engineer Stephen will be adding £4,500 of his own savings
0:03:24 > 0:03:27'to the 12-grand budget.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31'With so much cash to splash, the lads establish priorities.'
0:03:31 > 0:03:37- Stag do first. Church and that... - Everything else falls in after that.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- It's all for Shelley.- Bless.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44- I reap the benefits after, if I get it right.- Aye, three weeks!
0:03:44 > 0:03:49I get me leg over on me wedding night! If I get it wrong, I don't.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52'Hm. High stakes indeed, for an amorous groom.
0:03:52 > 0:03:58'Meanwhile, community nurse Shelley isn't feeling quite so up.'
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Quite weird.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04I don't like the feeling at all, actually.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07How much do you want to pay for the dress?
0:04:07 > 0:04:12- You're talking two grand. - She'll dye it black if I die first!
0:04:12 > 0:04:16We're getting it signed that, if I die first,
0:04:16 > 0:04:20she's buried alive with us! That's how we're gonna have it.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- She's gonna dye her dress black? - You're meant to dye your wedding dress.
0:04:24 > 0:04:30Shut up! Since when do you dye your wedding...? You're paying two grand!
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Not on your wedding day! On me funeral!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Then make sure it's 100% cotton or it won't dye.
0:04:36 > 0:04:42'Hang on! Isn't Stephen meant to be planning a wedding not a funeral?
0:04:55 > 0:04:59'It's day one. Time to find a reception venue.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03'Stephen's recovering from a dislocated knee, so Mark drives.
0:05:03 > 0:05:09'Walworth Castle looked great on the internet, so he booked it.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11'Will it live up to expectations?'
0:05:11 > 0:05:14SATNAV: You have reached your destination.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- There's a castle here.- Where? - You can't miss a castle!
0:05:18 > 0:05:23'The satnav is convinced there's a castle here somewhere.'
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Still can't see a castle!
0:05:28 > 0:05:33At what point to we turn round and decide that we're lost?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36We're men and we're stubborn!
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- Walworth Castle.- Here we go.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42'Finally, they reach their destination.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47'Maybe it's the rain, but it doesn't look as good as Stephen remembers.'
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I would say, if I had enough time
0:05:50 > 0:05:55and loads of other venues to look at, I'd probably turn away.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00It hasn't got the fact of driving up and thinking, "Wow!"
0:06:00 > 0:06:03It's more... "It's all right."
0:06:03 > 0:06:08Well, I've drove for 45 minutes so make sure you look inside!
0:06:08 > 0:06:11I can't get back into the car!
0:06:11 > 0:06:13It doesn't say, "Don't touch."
0:06:15 > 0:06:17'There's no way Stephen's tying the knot here
0:06:17 > 0:06:21but the boys are too polite not to take the tour.'
0:06:21 > 0:06:27This layout, with the top table and an extra couple of tables.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- 'Are you listening, Stephen?' - Very good.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Got an actual stock!
0:06:40 > 0:06:42What do you think?
0:06:42 > 0:06:47Well, I think it's just what I thought the first time.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48It's not what I want.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52'He's hedged his bets and provisionally booked another castle,
0:06:52 > 0:06:55but only viewed it online.'
0:06:55 > 0:06:57I'm down to one venue.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- LAUGHS - But still smiling!
0:06:59 > 0:07:03'Let's hope he's still smiling in two days, when he sees it.'
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I'm making a mess of this.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18'While Stephen's put all his eggs in one basket,
0:07:18 > 0:07:22'Shelley can only wonder what he's up to.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25'At least she has her horse to keep her busy.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29'She's had Millie since she was ten. It's her longest relationship.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34'The strain of being without her man is starting to show.'
0:07:34 > 0:07:36She's the only normal thing.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Everything else has - apart from work - changed.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Everyone asks, "How's he getting on?" I'm like, "I don't know."
0:07:44 > 0:07:49It's nice to get up here and forget about it for a little while.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54Definitely. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have her!
0:07:54 > 0:07:58'It's normally the bride who wants a traditional church wedding.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01'In this case, it's the groom.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04'Stephen's a regular at Saint George's church
0:08:04 > 0:08:07'but hasn't been able to pin the vicar down to a date.'
0:08:07 > 0:08:11I'm still waiting to get everything finalised with the vicar.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15He's been away for a couple of days on holiday
0:08:15 > 0:08:20so I haven't had a chance to have a conversation and sort things out.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23'Patience is a virtue, Stephen.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31'So, he's still short of a church and a venue.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34'Today, it's Cosh's turn to drive.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37'They're off to visit Auckland Castle.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41'The website looked great but will this one be as disappointing?'
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- I haven't seen this one. - It might be crap!
0:08:44 > 0:08:47If this one's crap, right, and me vicar...
0:08:47 > 0:08:51SATNAV: After 800 yards, take the exit.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54If you say, "I cannae get married there,"
0:08:54 > 0:08:57I'll have a nervous breakdown!
0:08:59 > 0:09:04'With its 800 years of history, will Auckland Castle be grand enough?'
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- That looks lovely, that.- Yeah, yeah.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13That's perfect, isn't it?
0:09:13 > 0:09:17If you think of castles... The only thing it hasn't got is a moat!
0:09:17 > 0:09:20'In this medieval setting,
0:09:20 > 0:09:24'the lads have a brainwave about a themed reception.'
0:09:24 > 0:09:28In a medieval castle, you're not going to put a country fete on.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Medieval entertainers!
0:09:30 > 0:09:32COSH LAUGHS
0:09:32 > 0:09:38I'd have medieval acrobats and jugglers and sword swallowers and flame-blowers.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Just kind of, if you went to a carnival.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- Hi, Stephen. I'm Michelle. - Hi, Michelle.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49They're comfy? I might not get down, with my leg.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55You'd be sitting on that side, if you were Shelley.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I like this. This is nice.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04'It's the perfect venue for King Stephen and Queen Shelley
0:10:04 > 0:10:07'to host a medieval banquet.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11'The groom's creative juices are really flowing now.'
0:10:11 > 0:10:15If I wanted some kind of like... pig on a spit, medieval kind...
0:10:15 > 0:10:17You know, the turning thing?
0:10:17 > 0:10:23We do a roast loin of suckling pig as one of the main course dishes.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27If you're looking at medieval style food,
0:10:27 > 0:10:31we can talk to the chefs and put something together for you.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Thank you very much. Cheers.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Well, the venue's sorted.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40I'll be getting married here on 24th May
0:10:40 > 0:10:43to Miss Shelley White,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45soon to be Mrs Shelley Scott.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46COSH SPLUTTERS
0:10:46 > 0:10:48What a lovely name!
0:10:50 > 0:10:53This was a make-or-break.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57There was no Plan B. This was it.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05'It cost seven grand, but Stephen's bagged the second venue he's seen.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10'And he's got £500 of booze chucked in for free.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14'What's next on his "to do" list?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17'Somewhere to get married would be good.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22'With the church not confirmed, Stephen needs a back-up plan.
0:11:22 > 0:11:28'He sends Shelley to the registry office to fill out the paperwork.'
0:11:28 > 0:11:32By the sounds of it, it's going to be a civil ceremony.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36I didn't have any preference, really.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40I would have liked a church wedding, if possible, I must admit.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48'She's putting a brave face on things,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51'but when Mum gets home, reality sinks in.'
0:11:51 > 0:11:56It's not what you really wanted. You wanted a church, if possible.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00I would have probably had a church, but I'm sure it'll be nice.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04It'll be lovely, but I really feel it for you. I know how much...
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- You made me feel more... - I made you feel worse!
0:12:09 > 0:12:14I'm sure it'll be lovely anyway. I just feel a bit upset for you.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16I know.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20It'll be fine.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23It will. It'll be lovely.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Ah...
0:12:24 > 0:12:26It will be.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31'It's D-day for Stephen.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33'He's off to meet the vicar
0:12:33 > 0:12:36'to find out if he can have the church wedding
0:12:36 > 0:12:38'that means so much to his bride.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40'And to him.'
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Everything's resting on this. I'm bricking it, basically.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- Hi.- Hello. Come on in.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03I've been, literally, since Tuesday, completely on tenterhooks,
0:13:03 > 0:13:07thinking that I might turn up here and I can't get married.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12I just wanted to check that we could do the things that we wanted to do.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Right.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19So I needed to check about organists and have another chat with you.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21And it's fine.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23So is that good news?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25That's brilliant! Yes!
0:13:25 > 0:13:27God!
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I'm crying!
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- Well, I'm really pleased. - So am I.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41You're all right? Now!
0:13:41 > 0:13:46- Right. OK.- Just relax and we'll talk about what we need to talk about.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47- OK.- OK?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Absolutely over the moon!
0:13:59 > 0:14:03No words can describe how I'm feeling.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Two weeks and two days!
0:14:16 > 0:14:21Shelley will be here getting married. To me.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26'The couple come from very different backgrounds.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31'Shelley knows what a traditional wedding means to her fiance.'
0:14:31 > 0:14:35He sees me, my mum, dad and my brother, we're all really close.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37He hasn't had that upbringing.
0:14:37 > 0:14:43Mum and Dad split up... maybe when I was about 14, 15?
0:14:43 > 0:14:50I stayed with my dad. My dad wasn't well at the time.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55I took over a role of looking after my dad when he was ill.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58From literally everything, basically.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03Sorting out the bills, cooking, making sure he was all right.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08I think that... Well, that made us the person I am today, really.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12He always says, "You've had the perfect upbringing, the perfect family."
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Which is true.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18He would like that. He's very traditional.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20That's really important to him.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28'Five days in, and there's still everything to do.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32'Next on Stephen's list is the wedding ring.'
0:15:32 > 0:15:36I was too scared to get the engagement ring,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39never mind the wedding one!
0:15:39 > 0:15:43I think it'll probably be easier getting the wedding ring.
0:15:43 > 0:15:49I know what the engagement ring was like, so I can use that as a base.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53- 'His eye is caught by a bargain.' - £4,750 reduced to £1,795.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00There's got to be something strange with that.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10'Shelley's tastes are more upmarket.'
0:16:10 > 0:16:14That one is 2,650. That's a full platinum.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17OK.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21I think I put two grand for a ring. Max.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25I was hoping to at least cut £500 to £1,000 off that.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- Hiya.- Yes, sir?
0:16:29 > 0:16:33I'm looking for...wedding rings.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38'Next up, the price is right but the timing's wrong.'
0:16:38 > 0:16:39Two weeks.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44'It's getting late and, with one shop to go, the pressure is on.'
0:16:44 > 0:16:49If we were quoting on them normally, we would want a good 12 weeks.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53It's do-able within the time you've got, but it would be tight.
0:16:53 > 0:16:59- What was the price?- In platinum, that's going to be a...
0:17:00 > 0:17:03..£1,600...£1,700 ring.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Is there anything we can knock off?
0:17:05 > 0:17:10The very best price I'd be able to do it for would be £1,350.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Brilliant. Thank you very much.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17'He saved £400! Another result for the bargain hunter.'
0:17:17 > 0:17:20# Diamonds are a girl's best friend. #
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Very positive. I'm quite chuffed with that.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31And I liked the fact that his assistant was called Shelley.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35That was just... I've got good feelings about that.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41'He's got a church, a reception venue and a ring.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46'What a productive first week! If he could just find a dress...
0:17:46 > 0:17:51'He's got his mate Sweeny in to help but neither has ever chosen a frock.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53'This should be interesting.'
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- Hi, Stephen. I'm Wendy. - Nice to meet you.- And you.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- I'm looking for a wedding dress. - Right.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02And hopefully you can help us with that.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- I take it this is for a bride. - It is! No, not me!
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I'm petrified about the dress,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12that he'll pick the most horrendous dress ever.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16I'm just trying not to think about it, to tell you the truth!
0:18:16 > 0:18:19'Stephen's not given it much thought, either.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24'They've been together for five years but he doesn't know her size.'
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- Bit bigger here.- Right.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30And kind of more...curvy.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- She's got more shape on the hips? - I would say so, yes.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39I would take the chance that she's probably going to be size 12 to 14.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42With certain things, I wear my heart on my sleeve.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47If it's my big day and a horrible dress, there could be tears.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54'Shelley won't have any say in her dress, but she can't resist a little window shopping
0:18:54 > 0:18:58'with Mum Linda and chief bridesmaid Annika.'
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Shelley can be quite difficult. She knows her own style.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05She knows what she wants.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09So, I think for Stephen to plan a whole wedding for her,
0:19:09 > 0:19:14and her not to have a say about it, is quite difficult for Stephen.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18A bit too big for this one!
0:19:22 > 0:19:24That is gorgeous!
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- It's very Spanish.- Yeah. - Spanish and Italian.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Oh, it's gorgeous! It's beautiful.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39I just hope that he does pick me a nice one. I'm sure he will.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44If you want to show off her curves, this one will show off her curves.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47That looks more ballroom dress, not wedding.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- More evening-y?- Yes, evening dressy.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53That's not what you're looking for?
0:19:53 > 0:19:54No.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59You have got the sweetheart going on.
0:19:59 > 0:20:05You've got a little tulle strap that goes over the shoulder.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Not that it means anything to you, being blokes!
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- 'You said it!' - Keep that to one side?- Definitely.
0:20:14 > 0:20:20You've got your sweetheart neckline, nice fitted body. Ruches across.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Your crinkle tulle
0:20:22 > 0:20:26and then, in fact, you've got a little bolero.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- With a little bit of ruching round. - I like that.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- What's that called?- Bolero. - Bolero?- Yeah.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Spanish dancing now!
0:20:38 > 0:20:40'Er, that's a bit like a bolero!'
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Spanish theme!
0:20:42 > 0:20:45'While the boys are baffled by boleros,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48'the bride is proving that dress shopping is a woman's job.'
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Oh! That's even...
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- That is stunning!- That is... Oh!
0:20:55 > 0:20:59This is definitely the one. This is the dress of my dreams.
0:20:59 > 0:21:05- The other was gorgeous but that... - Definitely, definitely the one!
0:21:05 > 0:21:10- Gorgeous!- Oh, it's beautiful!
0:21:10 > 0:21:14This fits like a fairy tale!
0:21:14 > 0:21:16A very weird moment!
0:21:16 > 0:21:21If Stephen wasn't picking everything, I would have bought it now.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25- It would have been bought and paid for!- Yes. Definitely.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28'Shelley's made her mind up.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31'Shame it's not up to her.'
0:21:31 > 0:21:36You've got something a bit different on that one.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40That one! By a mile.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45That one just fits and looks... even on a mannequin. I like that.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51I love that. That's great. I'm gonna take that dress.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56'Stephen thinks it could set him back two grand. What's the damage?'
0:21:56 > 0:22:01- Do you want to know the price? - Do you want to sit down first?
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Take a seat.- I don't think it's going to matter in truth.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I'm going for that dress.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10- £950, including your jacket.- OK!
0:22:10 > 0:22:14'Bargain! No wonder Mr Discount's smiling!'
0:22:14 > 0:22:17That's the dress Shelley's going to wear.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21- Exciting stuff. - I think she'll love it.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23She'd better do, eh?
0:22:23 > 0:22:29'A week in, and Stephen's spent £10,000 of his £16,500 budget.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34'But will his choices impress his bride-to-be?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36'She's worried about what he's up to
0:22:36 > 0:22:42'and is getting together with her bridesmaids Annika and Joyce for a bit of moral support.'
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Shelley is very picky.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48I think Stephen has an idea,
0:22:48 > 0:22:54but whether it's what Shelley really wants is another thing.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57She'd said something about wedding shoes.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02He said, "You've got plenty of shoes in the wardrobe!"
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I wish I was as happy as a lamb.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09- I hope he isn't going tacky. - What do you mean by tacky?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Pink limo. Chocolate fountain.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Oh, God!
0:23:14 > 0:23:18- I'd probably stick to the chocolate fountain!- Better than a pink limo!
0:23:18 > 0:23:21But at a wedding? No.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- Do you want a coffee?- Aye...
0:23:23 > 0:23:28'Back in town, the lads get together for a medieval brainstorm.'
0:23:30 > 0:23:32But there's bad news.
0:23:32 > 0:23:39Best man Mark has a business meeting on the day of the wedding - 7,000 miles away!
0:23:39 > 0:23:45Mark's obviously leaving us. I need you to step in as stand-in best men.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49- I'm only away for a week. - Can you not make it three?
0:23:49 > 0:23:53I would love to be colour co-ordinated but...
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- Yeah.- He won't think like that. - Probably get you deep red.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01I don't like burgundy. I really don't like burgundy.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- You don't like burgundy?- No.
0:24:03 > 0:24:08'While the girls worry about colour, the lads chew over the food.'
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Trying to get that kind of medieval thing going.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Organise the pig.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19She's going to parade it round before they carve it up.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23- Oh, no!- It's dead! - Alive?- No.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26With a Rambo knife! Aagh!
0:24:26 > 0:24:30- Jesus.- Aye, it's going to be dead before we do that!
0:24:30 > 0:24:32A happy day for everybody(!)
0:24:32 > 0:24:35So, the vegetarians will like that(!)
0:24:37 > 0:24:40He knows how I am on a day-to-day basis.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44He doesn't know the deeper, more... I don't know.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46I don't know.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49I think he'll pull out all the stops.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51- Definitely.- He will.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54He worships you, man.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57'He's pulling out all the stops,
0:24:57 > 0:25:01'searching for the perfect medieval tune for the reception.'
0:25:01 > 0:25:05JOLLY MEDIEVAL TUNE That's all right, that! >
0:25:05 > 0:25:07"My Johnny was a shoemaker!"
0:25:07 > 0:25:10'Best man Mark is getting out just in time.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13'He may be missing the big day.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17'There's no chance of him missing the most important event,
0:25:17 > 0:25:19the stag do.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23'Lunch time in Liverpool.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26'It's an early start to an early stag.'
0:25:26 > 0:25:30MUSIC: "Seven Nations Army" by The White Stripes
0:25:38 > 0:25:40I'm Catholic.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43I miss my lass.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46'What better way to celebrate your commitment to one woman
0:25:46 > 0:25:50'than by getting close to several scantily clad ladies?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53'He hasn't forgotten it's his bride-to-be's birthday.'
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- That's lovely.- You don't know what it looks like!
0:25:59 > 0:26:01'While she admires her new top,
0:26:01 > 0:26:04'she's no idea that her boyfriend is going topless.'
0:26:04 > 0:26:09A bit different. Not what I was expecting.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12'After the birds comes the booze,
0:26:12 > 0:26:14'as the stag continues into the evening.'
0:26:20 > 0:26:23CORK POPS
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Happy birthday. Sorry Stephen's not here.- I know.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Thank you. Last time. Last birthday without being married.
0:26:37 > 0:26:43'With a few drinks inside them, the boys can't resist throwing some shapes on the dance floor.'
0:26:49 > 0:26:54- Wonder what Stephen's doing now. - I don't want to think about it!
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- LAUGHTER - By this time, should be drunk.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01I'm sure he will be. 9:20pm. I'm sure he'll be very drunk.
0:27:01 > 0:27:07'So drunk he's got into a spot of bother with a couple of bouncers.'
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- Aye, we'll- BLEEP!
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- They pushed me down the stairs. - BLEEP.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16So I've got to get out of there.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18What a...what a dick!
0:27:21 > 0:27:25'Some strippers and a few shots and it's all over for the stag.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28'I thought Geordies were made of tougher stuff!
0:27:36 > 0:27:40'Stephen's walking up the aisle in 11 days' time.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43'He's got a church, a dress, a ring, a venue and a theme!
0:27:43 > 0:27:47'He hasn't actually invited anyone to his wedding!
0:27:47 > 0:27:50'He calls his mum and mother-in-law-to-be
0:27:50 > 0:27:51'to help with the guest list.'
0:27:51 > 0:27:58Shelley family and Stephen family.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Mine's quite short, actually.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05'That can't be said for Shelley's mum's list.'
0:28:05 > 0:28:08There's Ben's mum. Claire and David. Pat, my sister.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Gavin. Grace and Bob.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Morton and Nicola. Maureen and John.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15'Linda, don't hold back!'
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Claire and David.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20'Time for Sandra to try and get a word in.'
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- I've got you... - Oh, me. Yes, me.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25LAUGHS
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- Harvey.- Harvey.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32Alan. Couldn't think there! Alan.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35That's all it is on ours. Not a lot.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39How many mates of yours will be there?
0:28:39 > 0:28:42I'll be giving a lot over of ours to Shelley.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46When are you thinking about getting the invitations out?
0:28:46 > 0:28:48The latest, Monday, really.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51- It's going to have to be. - Maybe before.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54'He's going to invite 120 people.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58'Two-thirds will be Shelley's friends and family.
0:29:04 > 0:29:10'The next job isn't the invites, it's the bridesmaids' dresses.
0:29:10 > 0:29:17'Even though he's got three grand left, he wants to spend £400 on the four girls, including shoes!'
0:29:17 > 0:29:20That's out of budget by double.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22So...
0:29:22 > 0:29:26Unless we can do something special, then it's...
0:29:28 > 0:29:31..looking a bit dodgy.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36'Annika and Joyce arrive to model for him.'
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Just through here. He got here before you.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Hiya. How you doing?
0:29:42 > 0:29:46I've had a kind of idea of how I want it.
0:29:46 > 0:29:51It's just really...budget-wise as well. I'm running out of money.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55'That's not strictly true, is it, Stephen?'
0:29:55 > 0:29:57That's gorgeous, that.
0:29:57 > 0:30:02Pink would definitely be my worst colour to have on.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04I'm really not keen on it.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07- And Shelley doesn't like red. - No!
0:30:07 > 0:30:09'Sadly, it's not up to Shelley.'
0:30:09 > 0:30:13You can get an idea of the short and long.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24I like the one on the right better than the one on the left.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28'What was the one colour you shouldn't pick?'
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- That's burgundy? - That's burgundy. Yes.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35- Can I have a quick...? - Yeah. Course you can.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38(Shelley hates burgundy.)
0:30:40 > 0:30:43I don't know whether we can say anything about that.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46'Tell him, for goodness' sake!
0:30:46 > 0:30:49'The girls don't say a word. So, burgundy it is.'
0:30:49 > 0:30:53Basically, she doesn't like burgundy at all.
0:30:53 > 0:30:59Or any kind of red, so I am quite worried what she's going to think.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03'The groom doesn't care about colour. He cares about cost.'
0:31:03 > 0:31:05£360, that.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08I can even go to the £400 I had
0:31:08 > 0:31:13and I've still 40 quid to get four pairs of shoes.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16'Good luck, Stephen!
0:31:16 > 0:31:21'It's a week before the wedding and time for Shelley's hen.'
0:31:23 > 0:31:26What am I supposed to blow up! I'll blow it up.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33LAUGHS
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- Thank you so much. - GIGGLING
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Hello, Stephen!
0:31:38 > 0:31:42'Meanwhile, the real Stephen's having a quiet Saturday night in.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54'For a bit of fun, the girls have come up with a gangster theme.'
0:31:59 > 0:32:02We're going to have a really good night.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Come on, girlies! I need a drink!
0:32:14 > 0:32:17SCREAMS
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Where's my shot?
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Everyone will think it's the binge-drinking northeast!
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- DJ:- How's our hen party tonight? - CHEERING
0:32:44 > 0:32:48'To spice up the night, there are forfeits to face.'
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Hello!
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Are you all right?
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- Do you know me?- I do know you.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00You don't remember us?
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Oh, yeah. I do remember you.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10One!
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Two!
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Three.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Four!
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Five!
0:33:19 > 0:33:22'Shelley's met her target.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24'Has her groom met his?
0:33:28 > 0:33:31'With five days to go, he's got a venue,
0:33:31 > 0:33:34'a dress and a theme, but he doesn't have any guests.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36'Time to send some invites.'
0:33:36 > 0:33:39I think making your own,
0:33:39 > 0:33:43it does give it a bit of a personal touch.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47That's not what I'm doing it for. It's literally saving money.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50STRIKES MATCH
0:33:50 > 0:33:54'No medieval invite's complete without a little sealing wax.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57'I said sealing wax! Not candle wax!'
0:33:57 > 0:34:00That's not going to work at all.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09'Perfect.
0:34:09 > 0:34:15'For a three-year-old and if your theme is Hammer House of Horror!'
0:34:15 > 0:34:17The candle's not going to work.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21'A dejected groom sacks the wax.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24'Are Shelley's 80 guests going to get an invite
0:34:24 > 0:34:28'or are they meant to be psychic?
0:34:28 > 0:34:33'Speaking of psychic, it's the invitations Shelley's worried about.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36I feel more stressed this week.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Nobody's said they've got an invitation.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42That would be the first thing I'd organise.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Everybody's avoiding you, aren't they?
0:34:45 > 0:34:50I'd like to know they had an invitation.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52You know what Stephen's like.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55He'll think everyone will drop their plans.
0:34:55 > 0:35:00Or they shouldn't have any plans and be able to come to the wedding.
0:35:00 > 0:35:05He doesn't think people have lives. He's always been a bit like that.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so they say!
0:35:09 > 0:35:14I think... Hmm. Depends on how well he does.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16'Ouch!
0:35:16 > 0:35:21'With time running out, Stephen's on a spending spree.
0:35:21 > 0:35:27'He shells out £1,000 on wedding cars and flowers
0:35:27 > 0:35:30'and £1,200 on his medieval theme!
0:35:30 > 0:35:33'But he's still keen to save some pennies.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37'How about a tacky tiara for £14.99?'
0:35:39 > 0:35:43It was cheap. Fits in the budget. Save five pounds.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46'A cheeky discount on the bridesmaids' shoes.'
0:35:46 > 0:35:50Dorothy Perkins does student discount.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Did run out about six years ago.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57I got it from £45 to £40.50.
0:35:57 > 0:36:04'Most importantly, he's thrown some money at the invitation problem - three quid on some ribbon!
0:36:04 > 0:36:06'His anxious bride will be relieved
0:36:06 > 0:36:10'to know he's having another go at making the invites.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14'He IS getting married in three days' time!
0:36:14 > 0:36:17'And it's another outing for the bride's favourite colour!'
0:36:17 > 0:36:22It would have been easier if I'd done this in the first place.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32'Hm. Frayed polyester ribbon! Very authentic(!)'
0:36:32 > 0:36:34That's not bad, actually!
0:36:34 > 0:36:39I could have just got people's numbers and text them.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43I could do for my lot. There's only 20 people coming from my family.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46And about six friends.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51Shelley - mates, 43.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55Just have to sacrifice my lot.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58Surprising what you can knock up for a tenner!
0:36:58 > 0:37:03'There might be guests after all, even if they are all Shelley's!'
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Shelley, come in here a second.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10From Steve.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12LAUGHS
0:37:14 > 0:37:18- Look! You're getting married! - BOTH LAUGH
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Don't start me off!
0:37:24 > 0:37:25Nice!
0:37:27 > 0:37:28Saturday?
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- LAUGHS - This Saturday.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33We're just getting invitations?
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Well, soon!
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Do you think anyone's going to turn up at short notice?
0:37:39 > 0:37:41I don't know.
0:37:41 > 0:37:46My God. I wasn't expecting this weekend.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52I hope that's not the colour scheme, burgundy.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56- I think it's quite nice. - Do you think?- Mm-hm.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Do you not?- It wouldn't have been me choice, like.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02The invitations are lovely
0:38:02 > 0:38:06but I'm a bit worried that people are just starting to get them now.
0:38:06 > 0:38:12'In keeping with his medieval theme, Stephen's had a brainwave.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16'Why not dress the waitresses as serving wenches?
0:38:20 > 0:38:25'Amongst the masks and moustaches he finds the perfect wench outfit.
0:38:25 > 0:38:30'He needs ten of them, but will he get a discount for a bulk buy?'
0:38:30 > 0:38:33I've got £200 for the fancy dress.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37- That's all I've got left completely. - Completely?- Yeah.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40'Why not try your pitiful look?'
0:38:40 > 0:38:43- I could do them within your budget. - 'It works!'
0:38:43 > 0:38:47- Not to buy. To hire. - Yeah. That'd be great.
0:38:47 > 0:38:53'Ten outfits for £200. A great deal! But the detail's not right for this wedding planner.'
0:38:53 > 0:38:55That wasn't what was over there.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59No, the other one, it's a short skirt.
0:38:59 > 0:39:04- I like that one better. I wouldn't go for that.- Right. OK.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08- Even though it's a short skirt? - That doesn't look serving.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12That doesn't look like a serving girl. I don't think.
0:39:12 > 0:39:17'Give up, love. Stephen's obviously a medieval fashion expert(!)'
0:39:24 > 0:39:28- I'm not going to bother with the girls' outfits.- Right. OK.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31'Looks like serving wenches are off the menu, then.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38'It's the day before the wedding.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42'At last, Shelley will see the dress that Stephen's chosen for her.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46'She's brought her mum and two bridesmaids for moral support.'
0:39:46 > 0:39:50- You ready to try your dress on? - I think so!
0:39:50 > 0:39:52LAUGHTER
0:39:52 > 0:39:55- We're going to blindfold you and put gloves on.- Really?- Yes.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59So you can't see or feel what it's like.
0:40:01 > 0:40:06If your mum takes a seat there. We'll take you through, Shelley.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13I'm really... Not nervous. I feel quite excited for her.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Quite emotional.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18This is the strangest experience.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23I just want to know what it looks like.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Really exciting. I'm dying to see what she looks like.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32If she doesn't like that dress, I think I'm marrying the wrong person.
0:40:32 > 0:40:37I think anyone would love that beautiful dress.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39I'll guide you.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46There's a tiny step here. Be careful.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48That's it.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52This is the most awful experience! LAUGHTER
0:40:59 > 0:41:01- There we go.- Wow!
0:41:03 > 0:41:05It's beautiful, isn't it?
0:41:08 > 0:41:14I love it, actually. I'm surprised he's done such a good job.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17- That's just gorgeous. - I'm in shock!
0:41:17 > 0:41:19LAUGHTER
0:41:19 > 0:41:23- Didn't think he had such good taste? - No!
0:41:23 > 0:41:27- Did you help him?- No. We had nothing to do with it.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29It's gorgeous!
0:41:29 > 0:41:32I love it! It's so different!
0:41:34 > 0:41:36It's so different!
0:41:36 > 0:41:40The top is just beautiful.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42It's gorgeous!
0:41:42 > 0:41:45'It may be gorgeous, but it doesn't fit.
0:41:46 > 0:41:52'Stephen picked a size 14 dress for his size 10 bride.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55'There are just 24 hours left to make the alterations.'
0:41:55 > 0:41:58When Stephen picked the dress,
0:41:58 > 0:42:02he paid for the dress but he hasn't paid for the alterations.
0:42:02 > 0:42:08So, I don't know if you need to speak to him with regards to price?
0:42:08 > 0:42:11It's going to work out about £150.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15Hope he's got more money in the budget!
0:42:15 > 0:42:17'Linda calls her future son-in-law.'
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Hello?
0:42:19 > 0:42:24Shelley's trying her wedding dress on and it needs some alterations.
0:42:24 > 0:42:29- Right.- I'm ringing to see if you've got any money left in the budget.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33- How much are you talking?- Er...150.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35150?
0:42:35 > 0:42:40I thought the woman said she'd do any alterations needed for nothing.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44Right. We'll sort it out, then.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48He says he didn't think he had to pay for the alterations.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52I'll pay for the alterations and get it back off him later. OK?
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Mother to the rescue, I think! LAUGHTER
0:42:58 > 0:43:01'But Stephen does have the cash and is feeling guilty
0:43:01 > 0:43:05'about his mother-in-law having to put her hand in her pocket.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09'Not so guilty he can't do a quick impression.'
0:43:09 > 0:43:11I know what this call's going to be.
0:43:11 > 0:43:16- MIMICS LINDA:- She can't do it for nowt. She needs £150.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18'Shelley's mum's at the cashpoint.'
0:43:18 > 0:43:25Hi, Stephen. Shelley's mum's going to pay everything. OK?
0:43:25 > 0:43:29- Who am I speaking to here? - Sorry? It's Joyce.
0:43:29 > 0:43:30Oh, right.
0:43:30 > 0:43:35- It's Joyce.- So it's all sorted? - Sorry?
0:43:35 > 0:43:38I've got £150 if she needs it. I've got enough budget for it.
0:43:38 > 0:43:40Well, you can give her it later, then.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42That woman said she'd do it.
0:43:42 > 0:43:46I didn't want to get pissed round by somebody,
0:43:46 > 0:43:48some woman making the dress.
0:43:48 > 0:43:51- OK. You've got it. OK, then.- Bye.
0:43:51 > 0:43:55When she phoned him, he was driving and couldn't really...
0:43:55 > 0:44:00He had to pull over, then answer so he wasn't thinking straight.
0:44:00 > 0:44:05'Stephen wants the perfect day for his beloved Shelley.
0:44:05 > 0:44:08'All his preparations are finally in place.
0:44:08 > 0:44:12'He's done everything he can for his future wife.
0:44:12 > 0:44:14'Nice work, Stephen.
0:44:22 > 0:44:28'After three weeks of hard negotiating, he's exhausted.'
0:44:28 > 0:44:31See what she says tomorrow but at this moment in time,
0:44:31 > 0:44:34I'm delighted with the whole thing.
0:44:34 > 0:44:40Can't wait to have my dress on and tell him he's done a really good job,
0:44:40 > 0:44:42how proud I am of him.
0:44:49 > 0:44:55'Five years together, three weeks apart and a bill of £16,500.
0:44:55 > 0:44:58'The big day has finally arrived.
0:44:58 > 0:45:02'Is the bride feeling nervous?'
0:45:02 > 0:45:05I feel quite laid-back, actually.
0:45:05 > 0:45:09Not knowing any plans I don't know any timescales. It's strange.
0:45:09 > 0:45:15She can get away with a bin bag on. We have to use extra make-up!
0:45:15 > 0:45:20'Shelley's relaxed, but upstairs a crisis is brewing.'
0:45:20 > 0:45:23You're all right. Don't panic!
0:45:23 > 0:45:27'Bridesmaid's Annika's dress was altered but completely misjudged.
0:45:27 > 0:45:31'The girls try to fix it without worrying the bride.

0:45:40 > 0:45:43CHILD WHINES
0:45:43 > 0:45:46Go with Helen and get your dress on.
0:45:46 > 0:45:51'At least Annika's daughter's dress fits perfectly.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54'But she's upset for her mum.'
0:45:54 > 0:45:56Sorry, Annika.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59We're cutting it, dear.
0:46:02 > 0:46:06Do that round there. That hides that...
0:46:06 > 0:46:08'Then Linda comes up with an ingenious solution.'
0:46:11 > 0:46:15Helen, darling. Would you just pass us the tape?
0:46:15 > 0:46:18CHILD SCREAMS
0:46:18 > 0:46:22'The chief bridesmaid will spend the day with an open-back dress -
0:46:22 > 0:46:24'as long as the tape holds.'
0:46:25 > 0:46:28That's beautiful. Lovely.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30Look at them!
0:46:30 > 0:46:33Ah!
0:46:33 > 0:46:36- A bit of a crisis with my dress! - Why?

0:46:38 > 0:46:41Oh, no!
0:46:41 > 0:46:45- It looks really nice at the back. - Oh.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48I can't believe they got it wrong.
0:46:48 > 0:46:52'The tape's not working, but help comes from an unexpected source.'
0:46:54 > 0:46:57- Oh, hello!- I'm your florist! - Thank you!
0:46:57 > 0:47:01Usually, I get to know the bride before!
0:47:01 > 0:47:06Is there anything I can help with because I've got a box of goodies?
0:47:06 > 0:47:09We can do something. Not a problem.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13I have an O-level needlework!
0:47:14 > 0:47:17I don't think I'd have passed this one!
0:47:17 > 0:47:19I don't want to stab you.

0:51:05 > 0:51:08I said we'd pull it off. Anything's possible.
0:51:08 > 0:51:11With the right team, we've done it.

0:52:43 > 0:52:47We tried stitching her in here, taping it. It wasn't going anywhere.
0:52:47 > 0:52:50It actually hurts a little bit.
0:52:50 > 0:52:51I'm wired.
0:52:51 > 0:52:56She's totally wired. She's done a really good job.

0:53:16 > 0:53:19It's a goblet and a tankard.
0:53:19 > 0:53:21What they'd use in medieval times.
0:53:21 > 0:53:23A wooden spoon!
0:53:23 > 0:53:30I've had to actually hire in different caterers for the cutlery.
0:53:30 > 0:53:34- Oh, my God!- To put on a theme. - It'll be lovely!
0:53:34 > 0:53:36LAUGHS
0:53:38 > 0:53:42So I have to drink out of that?
0:53:42 > 0:53:45They are clean! That's for the wine.
0:53:45 > 0:53:47- What the hell's that?- A goblet.

0:55:22 > 0:55:24I couldn't have asked for a much better mate

0:55:26 > 0:55:28The girl he would marry and call his wife
