0:00:02 > 0:00:05'Paul and Emily are madly in love.'
0:00:05 > 0:00:06She's the best thing to happen to me.
0:00:06 > 0:00:11It's a commitment getting married, showing that we do love each other.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15'With a nine-month-old baby to provide for,
0:00:15 > 0:00:20'and thousands in debt, they've put wedding plans on hold twice.'
0:00:20 > 0:00:22We can't afford to do it.
0:00:22 > 0:00:27'We're giving them £12,000 for their big day, but there's a catch.'
0:00:27 > 0:00:30You're not allowed to make any arrangements.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34'They have agreed that Paul will organise the wedding.'
0:00:34 > 0:00:37I'm not going to be able to do it.
0:00:37 > 0:00:44'They'll have no contact, and Emily won't know a single thing until the big day in three weeks' time.'
0:00:44 > 0:00:47I'm getting more scared.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51'Will Paul's desire to take control get out of hand?'
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Whatever I say is right.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58I'm advising you for your own safety she will not sleep tonight.
0:00:58 > 0:01:04'Backed by his army training, can Paul succeed in the biggest mission of his life?'
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I am disappointed. I've let myself down.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11'Can this man give this woman a day she will never forget?'
0:01:11 > 0:01:14If the dress is wrong, it's the end of the world.
0:01:14 > 0:01:21This programme contains some strong language.
0:01:26 > 0:01:33'Emily is moving out of the home she shares with recruitment consultant Paul and baby Ethan.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38'They've been together for three years and live in Altrincham,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40'south of Manchester.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45'In Emily's eyes, there's no man about this house.'
0:01:45 > 0:01:50I have to do everything for Paul. It's like having two kids.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53'Anything Paul does usually spells disaster.'
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Did Mummy tell Daddy to read the instructions? I think she did.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03'Ex-para Paul's biggest downfall is splashing the cash.'
0:02:03 > 0:02:05I was terrible with money.
0:02:05 > 0:02:11I never thought about bills I had to pay. I bought what I wanted to buy.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15'After leaving the army, he racked up a huge debt.'
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Between us, the debt was probably about 30,000.
0:02:18 > 0:02:24'With their finances out of control, Emily forced spendaholic Paul to hand over the purse strings.'
0:02:24 > 0:02:27'Emily's controlled a lot of the money.'
0:02:27 > 0:02:33Having the only bank card, I'm the only one that can withdraw money.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Can I have me money?
0:02:36 > 0:02:41She gives me £1.50 a day. It's like being at school.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45He's done stupid things,
0:02:45 > 0:02:49like gone onto Ebay and bought a £500 campervan!
0:02:49 > 0:02:53If you give him £12,000, he'll spend every penny.
0:02:53 > 0:03:00'Paul needs Emily, but as she prepares to move out, she's realising how much she needs him.'
0:03:00 > 0:03:02It's only three weeks. It'll be OK.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10'For three weeks, this soldier will be giving orders, not taking them.'
0:03:10 > 0:03:13I don't like to admit it. She does wear the pants.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I'm hoping I'm not going to get this wrong.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20I'm trusting him to organise my wedding,
0:03:20 > 0:03:25as his one and only chance to prove that he can organise something.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29I don't think he'd know what a typical girl would want, do you?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34I'll see you in three weeks.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- I love you loads.- Love you.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Good luck!
0:03:38 > 0:03:40'He's gonna need it!
0:03:40 > 0:03:45'Next time Emily sees him will be at the altar.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48'Let battle commence.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56'Day one of Paul's mission, and he doesn't know where to begin.'
0:03:56 > 0:03:59I've never been to a wedding.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03The only thing I know about weddings is there's a white dress,
0:04:03 > 0:04:07a walk down the aisle and a couple of words at the end of it.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10'So he drafts in second-in-command,
0:04:11 > 0:04:15'best man and ex-marine Warron Wealding.'
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Emily is quite controlling.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24If she doesn't like something, Paul will know for weeks afterwards!
0:04:24 > 0:04:30- We need to get the venue out the way first. - Sounds good. Set a date!- Yeah!
0:04:33 > 0:04:38'Across town, Emily is settling in with her parents and sister Hannah,
0:04:38 > 0:04:40'her chief bridesmaid.'
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I've been brought up Catholic.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I went to church every week till I was 18.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I did go to a very strict Catholic school.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Paul won't bother about a sit-down meal or anything.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00He'll just want the party bit after. If it's karaoke, I'll kill him.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04You are going to have to accept there will be karaoke!
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- Oh, God!- I know.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09'My mum is hugely religious.'
0:05:09 > 0:05:15Getting married is doing it in front of God. I'd never hear the end of it if I didn't.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20It'd be nice to go to the place where Ethan was Christened.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24We know the priest quite well. That would feel good - to me.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28'It looks like there are two women Paul needs to impress.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33'Fortunately, he's already tracked down the local vicar.'
0:05:33 > 0:05:40I'm ringing to enquire if we can get a wedding at St John the Baptist.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44If you could give us a call back please. Thank you.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45That's done.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51- I thought churches were supposed to be open 24 hours.- Yeah.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54They're not what they used to be.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59'There's only one aisle Emily is prepared to walk down.'
0:05:59 > 0:06:04This is where my parents go to church and we used to go to church,
0:06:04 > 0:06:09where Ethan got Christened and where I would like to get married!
0:06:09 > 0:06:15I am a Catholic. I believe in God but I'm not over the top.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19To me, a wedding is doing it where God is around us.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23If you're doing it somewhere that's not a church
0:06:23 > 0:06:25you lose the meaning of it.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30Is it where Mummy's getting married? Tell Daddy that's what Mummy wants.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33'But with no word from the family's favourite...'
0:06:33 > 0:06:37# Ooh, Lordy, my trouble so hard... #
0:06:37 > 0:06:41'..Paul's forced to look at other options.'
0:06:41 > 0:06:46We're on our way to a church. It is a very nice looking church.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50# ..Don't nobody know my trouble with God... #
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I'm looking to get married.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I'm doing a surprise wedding for my partner.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Ah, right. OK.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Thanks a lot for your time. Cheers. Bye.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Apparently, it's against the law to do it that quick.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11I've never heard of any law, but then again, I'm not in the church.
0:07:11 > 0:07:17I don't think it says in the Bible about it being over three weeks!
0:07:17 > 0:07:22You can understand why religion's not as strong as it used to be.
0:07:27 > 0:07:34'Paul's only option now is a civil ceremony. Time to gather some intelligence.'
0:07:35 > 0:07:40- This is coming out your budget, you know!- It's only 20 quid.
0:07:40 > 0:07:4220 quid!
0:07:42 > 0:07:47'With £12,000 burning a hole in his pocket, Paul can't help himself.'
0:07:47 > 0:07:4920 quid on magazines!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52You'd have just stopped with one!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Brilliant. Cheers.
0:07:54 > 0:08:00'Paul decamps to his spiritual home, the pub, and calls for back-up.
0:08:00 > 0:08:07'It arrives in the shape of joint best man Michael Brown, also known as Brownie.
0:08:07 > 0:08:13'Since Emily's given Paul rare access to their account, he buys his mates a pint.'
0:08:13 > 0:08:18What I want to try and do today is find a couple of venues close by.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22We'll get a magazine each and see if there's any venues.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27That's what I want. I like that medieval-looking castle.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30I love the thought of me own castle.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33A castle so he could play soldiers.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37I think Emily would like it, but that's more for me.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42I'm doing a surprise wedding for my partner in three weeks.
0:08:42 > 0:08:48'One day apart and Paul's already forgotten it's Emily's dream day.'
0:08:48 > 0:08:50It's "I want it. I'm getting it!"
0:08:50 > 0:08:54He would have booked it there and then without seeing it.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57That's typical Paul, isn't it?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00That castle one looks good, don't it?
0:09:00 > 0:09:07Do you think I can arrive on a horse with a shield and a lance? I'd be divorced before I'm married.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11'While Paul fantasises about bringing in the artillery...
0:09:13 > 0:09:17'..Emily dreams of something more traditional.
0:09:17 > 0:09:23'She takes Hannah to a country club where she'd love to have her reception.'
0:09:23 > 0:09:25She knows exactly what she wants.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29If he doesn't choose that, she'll be really angry and upset.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33This would be my ideal place to have the wedding reception.
0:09:33 > 0:09:39- It fits with your theme, the traditional thing, nice colours and flowers.- Yeah.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42This is the reception.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47I would have chair covers on with red bows on them.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51I want round tables. I want name cards for everybody.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I want crystal glasses and I want silver cutlery.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I want real napkins, not paper napkins.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02I want a flower arrangement there. Not too high so people can talk.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06No fish bowl things. I think they look a bit weird.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09This is exactly what I want.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11You'll not get a better view.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14I dread to think what is going to happen.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19You're only going to do this once. You want it to be really good.
0:10:19 > 0:10:26If you've got that idea and you don't get that idea, I don't want you to be really disappointed.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30I don't want me to be really disappointed.
0:10:33 > 0:10:40'Unfortunately for Emily, Paul's idea of traditional dates back to the Dark Ages.'
0:10:40 > 0:10:42It is an actual castle.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45'Peckforton Castle specialises in medieval banquets.'
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Gorgeous. It is really nice.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50This is exactly what I wanted.
0:10:50 > 0:10:56'The boys are greeted by the resident birds of prey as well as owner Tony Naylor.'
0:10:56 > 0:11:01Do you think your bride would like a fairy tale castle?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03It's always been more me that.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05If Paul had his dream wedding...
0:11:05 > 0:11:09I can't think about it because it scares me.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14You could have the fire eater. You could have medieval costumes.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16He knows I want traditional, classy.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21Why don't you put the falconry on while you have your photography?
0:11:21 > 0:11:26'Surely, Emily will want to be the only bird in her wedding snaps.'
0:11:26 > 0:11:32- Oh, wow!- This is our biggest room, the one we use the most.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37We have an owl called Olly, and last Saturday it delivered wedding rings
0:11:37 > 0:11:41from one end of this red carpet to the best man's right hand...
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Oh, yes!
0:11:46 > 0:11:49This is the dining room.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51It is nice, isn't it?
0:11:51 > 0:11:56£4,500 will get you a wedding here at the castle for 60 people.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01'But why stop there when you've got 12 grand to spend?'
0:12:01 > 0:12:06I can picture it. As you come in, you've got jesters on the lawn.
0:12:06 > 0:12:12You've got people... Even medieval fighting with sword displays, falconry.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17I am looking at how many rooms I'd be able to book.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I'd love my mum to have a room here.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25Emily's parents, Emily's sister, these two, Emily's bridesmaids.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29'Without Emily there to control his spending,
0:12:29 > 0:12:33'Paul splashes a grand on ten bedrooms for friends and family,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36'using up nearly half of his budget.'
0:12:36 > 0:12:41- The Sunday, that would be ideal. - We already have a wedding that day.
0:12:41 > 0:12:47- Does it have to be a weekend?- It can be a week day.- Thursday 30th...
0:12:47 > 0:12:51'In his haste, Paul's agreed to a weekday wedding.'
0:12:51 > 0:12:54I don't think she's expecting this.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56It's a fairy tale wedding.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59'Whose fairy tale is it?'
0:12:59 > 0:13:04I don't think any groom gets a choice in any wedding whatsoever.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08I'm enjoying the fact that I've got the trousers back on.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13# Walk like a man Talk like a man
0:13:13 > 0:13:19# Walk like a man, my son... #
0:13:19 > 0:13:25'Paul's on a roll and soon gets a flavour for his colour scheme.'
0:13:25 > 0:13:29If we make a proper chocolate theme, chocolate wedding cake,
0:13:29 > 0:13:33chocolate fountain, brown suits, brown bridesmaids dresses.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38Try to get Emily's dress, instead of white, cream.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43- That's different, innit? - We want different, unusual.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45We don't want original.
0:13:45 > 0:13:51'He may not know they're the same thing, but Emily won't want unusual.
0:13:56 > 0:14:02'With a venue and date, Paul's next challenge is shopping for bridesmaids dresses.'
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I have three sisters.
0:14:04 > 0:14:10Three women, even if it's their time of the month, I'm confident I can handle them.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13I'm planning on spending £100 per person.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18That's going to include £70 for the dress and £30 for the shoes.
0:14:18 > 0:14:24He might make us not look as good cos he wants Emily to look better.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28As long as we look good, he can blow the budget!
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Even if we love it, if he doesn't like it, that's it.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35We'll have to gang up on him.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37ALL: Hello!
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I'm setting some ground rules.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I'm in charge. Whatever I say is right.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44No!
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Can we have a handbag, if you don't mind?
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- What do you want a handbag for? - For anything. For money.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- No?- Put your money in your bra.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59I've seen it done on films. People do it.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02We're after nice plain dresses.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06I'm hoping to get a chocolate coloured dress with cream sash.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09I don't think we'll have this one.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Let's go to the cheap bit.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14I'll have that one.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Those are 80 quid, which leaves 20 quid for the shoes.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- You don't have that as well. - You do.- No!
0:15:21 > 0:15:24It's going to fall off!
0:15:24 > 0:15:29They look all right, though. You'll have to try a smaller size.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- I don't like them.- I don't care.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- They're like a cushion.- Try them on. - I'm not wearing that.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39If he likes that, what else does he like? Oh, God!
0:15:39 > 0:15:43I don't think Emily would like this dress. It's quite girlie.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I don't think she would like the flowers.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- Do they all fit? - These shoes are hideous.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- Them shoes go nice with it. - No!
0:15:57 > 0:15:59I hate it, Paul.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03If I can't find this in the other shops, they're an option.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08- It's not an option. I just won't wear it.- Then you'll be naked.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11But I really hate it.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13That's so much better.
0:16:15 > 0:16:22I need to get a decision today. I want the girls to look pretty. They can't look like dogs.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I'll say the light brown one.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29If they don't fit, you can breathe in or out. I don't care.
0:16:30 > 0:16:36'At £80 per dress, Paul's on budget, but it leaves just 20 for shoes.'
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- I like them. - 'These are £50 a pair.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42'And who can resist matching handbags?'
0:16:42 > 0:16:46That goes with them so I might have to buy the bags.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- You don't get any flowers or presents.- Brilliant.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52We knew we'd get our way.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57240. Plus the 165.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00That's 305, innit?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Is that right?
0:17:04 > 0:17:08That doesn't sound right to me. I thought it was well more over.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10'He is well more over.
0:17:10 > 0:17:16'Paul's spent £475, nearly 200 more than he'd budgeted for.'
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Cheers, Paul!
0:17:19 > 0:17:24'And he just can't resist treating the troops to lunch.
0:17:24 > 0:17:32'Paul has no trouble getting rid of his pounds, but Emily's really struggling to shift hers.'
0:17:32 > 0:17:37My big motivation is to be a skinny bride and not a fat bride.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Before I had Ethan, I was a size 10.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43After Ethan, the biggest I've bought was a 16.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47But I've lost three stone in seven months.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Most brides would get married before they had a baby!
0:17:51 > 0:17:57I'll feel like I've failed if I don't lose as much weight as possible.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01I hope Paul has good taste, but if it was horrific,
0:18:01 > 0:18:07I don't think I'd wear it. It would ruin the day for me and for him. I'd be a miserable cow!
0:18:07 > 0:18:12'Do these two fellas look like they couldn't pick a wedding dress?'
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- We're looking for something off-white.- Something nice.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21- Nice, simple...- Nice detail. - Quite elegant. Yeah.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28That one's nice. Quite simple.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31A bit over-the-top but it might be nice.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35It's just too much, all the gathering.
0:18:35 > 0:18:42Cos I've decided to go the extra bit for the castle, I have to be very careful about the money.
0:18:42 > 0:18:48'The spendaholic's decided to economise on the most important dress of his bride's life.'
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- < This dress is £700. - I don't think that's quite right.
0:18:52 > 0:18:58'Emily may not be choosing her own dress, but a girl can dream.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02'She's taking her sister along for moral support.'
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I quite like that one.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Oh, maybe not. I'm so fussy!
0:19:07 > 0:19:09I don't like the flowers.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11No.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15It's got buttons! A definite no!
0:19:15 > 0:19:17'And the final verdict?'
0:19:17 > 0:19:2170 dresses? Yeah, I like one!
0:19:21 > 0:19:25- You'll probably hate it when you've got it on.- I bet I will!
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- Do you like it? - I've got a little tear in my eye!
0:19:36 > 0:19:41- It's really, really nice.- I wish I'd lost more weight.- Shut up!
0:19:43 > 0:19:47I don't think it's to do with the dress. It's your confidence.
0:19:47 > 0:19:53I think after having the baby she still sees herself as huge,
0:19:53 > 0:19:58even though she's ridiculously skinny, which is a problem.
0:19:58 > 0:20:05'If Emily doesn't like herself in anything, what chance does Paul have of getting it right?'
0:20:05 > 0:20:07There's a lot of dresses here
0:20:07 > 0:20:11and lots of people think they're lovely dresses,
0:20:11 > 0:20:13and I just don't like them.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17'Paul's not so fussed what Emily will look like.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20'He's thinking about making savings.'
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Do many people wear veils?- Yes.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27The majority of girls wear a veil and a tiara. It's up to the bride.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- She doesn't get a choice. - No. It's up to you!
0:20:31 > 0:20:37They used to give the brides away before they met the partners, and it was the lifting of it,
0:20:37 > 0:20:41to reveal the face, to see whether you got a hound!
0:20:41 > 0:20:44To me, they're like net curtains.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49Everyone wears one. I can't imagine getting married without a veil.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53I've decided she ain't having a veil. It's a waste of money.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58It's a way of getting rid of the net curtains from the '80s.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00I don't think she needs it.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05I know she's beautiful. She doesn't need a bleedin' net curtain!
0:21:05 > 0:21:11'Paul's found a shop with a half-price wedding dress sale.'
0:21:11 > 0:21:16What I'm looking for is quite a simple dress, nothing over-the-top.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18A bit too simple?
0:21:18 > 0:21:22That's quite heavy.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25I'm actually enjoying it! How sad's that?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28She's got a great set of boobs.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31That better?
0:21:31 > 0:21:36She used to be 34B and I reckon she's a bit bigger.
0:21:36 > 0:21:42- They've gone down but they're still bigger than what they were. - Less milk in them now.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45That's why they were bigger!
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- How much is this dress? - This one was 850 full price.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59- And how much is this one?- I could do that for 400.- I really like that.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04'400? Is it the dress or the price tag he likes?'
0:22:05 > 0:22:10This is more expensive. You're looking at 975 but it's silk.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13The second one. The second one.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18'A decision. And a small dent in the budget.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22'The dress and shoes come in at just £500.'
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Thanks a lot. Cheers.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28That dress looks like it should be a grand and a half.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32If Emily don't know, I don't think she'd think it's a cheap dress.
0:22:33 > 0:22:41'Paul may have got a bargain, but it doesn't reflect how he feels about Emily.'
0:22:41 > 0:22:46When I first got with Emily, I'd just got out a bad relationship.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I was in a lot of debt from when I left the army.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52I was hiding from a lot of money problems.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54She's done a lot for me.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59She showed me that I can't run away from a lot of problems.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Now, we managed to pay back over...
0:23:02 > 0:23:05probably 11 grand's worth of debt last year.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09I wouldn't have been able to get a mortgage without her.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11We've got a lovely kid.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14We live in quite a nice area.
0:23:14 > 0:23:20In two years' time, we're going to owe no money whatsoever and afford to buy better things.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22If I weren't with Emily,
0:23:22 > 0:23:27I'd still be stuck in quite a bad area
0:23:27 > 0:23:30with a crap job
0:23:30 > 0:23:32and no prospects, to be honest.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37I'm not doing this cos I owe her financially or anything.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39I'm doing it cos I love her.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45'And over at her mum's,
0:23:45 > 0:23:49'Emily's finding life without Paul tough going.'
0:23:49 > 0:23:54I just feel lonely. It doesn't feel quite right going to be on your own.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59Putting Ethan to bed on his own and being in a strange room
0:23:59 > 0:24:01is not very nice.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Dada!
0:24:10 > 0:24:15'It's been a week and Paul's spent the best part of seven grand.'
0:24:15 > 0:24:17A chicken jalfrezi please, mate.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21'When Emily left, she gave him access to their joint account.'
0:24:21 > 0:24:23- Nice that.- It was.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Thank you. I'll give you my card.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34She knows what I'm like. I've just spent £30 on a meal.
0:24:34 > 0:24:40I could have spent a tenner on a takeaway, but she understands.
0:24:40 > 0:24:47'Emily understands all right, and she isn't about to let Paul fritter their money away.'
0:24:47 > 0:24:53Since I left, I think he's spent about... It's well over 200 now.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57It keeps increasing every time I check.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01I've got £100 out and then there's like...
0:25:03 > 0:25:05..about 50 left for him.
0:25:05 > 0:25:11He'll have a nice shock when he goes to withdraw some money.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14I'm not impressed, I have to say.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17I thought he would be better behaved.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20My confidence in Paul is going down.
0:25:20 > 0:25:27If he can't control our bank account I don't know what he's doing with 12 grand.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32If he's got 12 grand to spend, I bet he's wasted most of it very quickly.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Probably not very sensible things.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37He'll be in big trouble!
0:25:42 > 0:25:47'With the Thursday wedding imminent, Paul has less than two weeks.'
0:25:47 > 0:25:52I'm looking at booking a chocolate fountain. 350 for 80 people.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57'He's putting his own stamp on the extras.'
0:25:57 > 0:26:02Just to confirm, the hog roast will be in the evening at nine o'clock.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05If we could do it, I'd like the head on.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10Do you actually put the apple in the mouth like in the olden days?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13So that was 620, wasn't it, for everything?
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Is that Tansy? So we've got the DJ and karaoke.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22Just to confirm what James will be doing. Does he have a routine?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Unicycling, you say? And fire juggling. Brilliant.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30So that's £800 for the DJ, James and also the harpist?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32And the karaoke. Brilliant.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49I might actually know when my wedding is?
0:26:51 > 0:26:56I hope these aren't the invitations. I don't like hand-written ones.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58"My lovely bride-to-be!"
0:26:58 > 0:27:02"To celebrate the marriage of Paul and you!"
0:27:02 > 0:27:0630th April. When's that?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Thursday? Oh, my God!
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I wouldn't have chosen a Thursday.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15I didn't want one in the week. I don't think many people will come.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19'A weekday wedding is awkward for everyone,
0:27:19 > 0:27:24'including Hannah, who's struggling to get a day off work.'
0:27:24 > 0:27:27It would really upset me if I couldn't go.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31She might ignore it until she knows I can't come.
0:27:31 > 0:27:36Then she will get very upset and she gets angry when she gets upset.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38I don't want to tell her!
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- There is a slight issue.- What?
0:27:46 > 0:27:52- In that, like...I'm not 100% if I can actually be there.- You?- Yeah.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56- You know I will kill you. - I've arranged to try to sort it out.
0:27:56 > 0:28:02I'll try and change what I'm doing but it's unfortunate timing really.
0:28:02 > 0:28:08People aren't going to get the time off work. There'll just be a few people.
0:28:08 > 0:28:13I'm really upset because the thought of missing your wedding is horrible.
0:28:13 > 0:28:19- You know I'll do everything I can to get there.- You won't.- I will!
0:28:19 > 0:28:24I didn't want to turn round a day before and say I can't come.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26I wanted to give you warning.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30It just seems pointless.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34If you can't come, then what's the point in doing it?
0:28:40 > 0:28:44'Back home, the consequences start to sink in.'
0:28:44 > 0:28:46I don't think he's thought
0:28:46 > 0:28:50how hard it will be for guests to get there at short notice.
0:28:50 > 0:28:57If he hasn't thought about that, then how seriously has he thought about everything else?
0:28:57 > 0:29:02The venue, the flowers. I don't know if he's taken it that seriously.
0:29:02 > 0:29:07I'm getting scared that it's not going to be what I want.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12'Paul knows exactly what HE wants!'
0:29:12 > 0:29:15# The minute you walked in the joint
0:29:15 > 0:29:20# I could see you were a man of distinction, a real big spender #
0:29:20 > 0:29:2236C.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26- She's a bit smaller than that. - Nicer than the feeding bra!
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Not her granny knickers!
0:29:29 > 0:29:34I don't want her thinking I'm being a pervert, doing it for my pleasure.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37£132.99.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43How can you tell which is girl's and boy's? ..No!
0:29:43 > 0:29:46That one is £525.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50# Hey, big spender!
0:29:51 > 0:29:53# Hey, big spender!
0:29:55 > 0:29:57# Hey, big spender! #
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Nice isn't it? It's different as well.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05- Where will I keep my fags? - Made his bum look big!
0:30:09 > 0:30:11See that?
0:30:11 > 0:30:14He just took his first two steps.
0:30:20 > 0:30:27'Facing another night alone, Paul cheers himself up by giving the joint account another battering.'
0:30:27 > 0:30:29That'll be the pizza.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38I haven't cooked since Emily's been gone.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42I've had takeaways every single night.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45If it got to the point when I had no money,
0:30:45 > 0:30:48I'd be forced to open a can of beans.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52Emily won't be happy when she checks the bank statement.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56She'll understand. I'm on me own. I'm lonely.
0:30:56 > 0:31:01'While Paul consoles himself with junk food, Emily whinges to Gill and Helen.'
0:31:01 > 0:31:04- How do you think the wedding's going?- Rubbish!
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- Do you not have faith in your husband-to-be?- No.
0:31:07 > 0:31:13Might not be my husband-to-be. He's cleared my bank account out.
0:31:13 > 0:31:18I don't know how much I've spent. I haven't bothered keeping track.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21I haven't spent that much. I think she'll be fine.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23I'm going to kill him.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27He's spent all my money and I'm quite annoyed.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- What do you mean "your" money? - All right, he earned it!
0:31:33 > 0:31:37I said, "Leave me some money." He cleared it out properly.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39- What's he done?- I have no idea.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42I bought the jumper. It's nothing special.
0:31:42 > 0:31:47For the next day when we wake up in a castle and go for breakfast,
0:31:47 > 0:31:51our first day of marriage, I wanted something nice.
0:31:51 > 0:31:52I paid 65 for it.
0:31:52 > 0:31:58It is a Hugo Boss jumper and they're 150 so she saved herself a bit.
0:31:58 > 0:32:03Cos Emily's not here controlling me, I know I'm spending too much.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07I can sense her communicating, saying, "Stop it!"
0:32:09 > 0:32:14'With one week to go, Emily's finally received some good news.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18'Hannah can make the wedding.'
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Good luck. Good luck, Paul.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Good luck Paul!
0:32:23 > 0:32:28I am excited about seeing the dress, but also quite scared.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33I don't want to be horrible about it cos I know Paul has tried so hard.
0:32:33 > 0:32:39If you come down the aisle in a different dress, he'd be upset.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42He'd probably cry if you were like, "That's horrible."
0:32:42 > 0:32:44No pressure!
0:32:44 > 0:32:49The wedding night you've got to consummate... Is it consummate?
0:32:49 > 0:32:53Trying to get her wedding dress off seductively!
0:32:53 > 0:32:58"Unlace me! Catch this! Pull that!" It's not going to be a nice moment.
0:32:58 > 0:33:03- If you don't have sex, you can get it annulled.- Maybe I'll hold off!
0:33:03 > 0:33:07Normally, on a wedding night you're far too tired.
0:33:07 > 0:33:12Everyone says, "I'm far too tired for that kind of thing!"
0:33:12 > 0:33:16I don't think you can get away with not after three weeks. Poor Paul.
0:33:18 > 0:33:24- Give him permission if you fall asleep he can continue! - Been there. Done that!
0:33:24 > 0:33:31'With time and money running out, Paul belatedly consults his budget.'
0:33:31 > 0:33:35I've got between 800 and £1,000 left, I think.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39There's a lot to do. Photographer, tiara.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41'Time for a few sums, then.'
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Venue, £5,700.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Wedding dress, 550.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Bridesmaids' dresses, 475.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Suit hire, 420.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Flowers, 500.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Rings, 573.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Cars, 345.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Cake, 290.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03The hair and nails, 268.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Chocolate fountain, 350.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09Magazines, 20. Make-up, 40.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Registrar, 250.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Harpist, DJ and the jester, that was 800.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Hog roast, 620.
0:34:18 > 0:34:23I haven't put the new coach hire figure down. Um...
0:34:25 > 0:34:29Yeah, the total's now... £11,935.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Basically, I've got 65 quid left.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39That isn't including hen do, stag do.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42I am disappointed. I've let myself down.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49I knew roughly what I wanted to spend on everything.
0:34:49 > 0:34:54I knew that I had to make savings. I thought I'd done the savings.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59'Emily's almost ready for her hen night,
0:34:59 > 0:35:03'an evening meant to be covered by the wedding budget.'
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Mummy's going out!
0:35:06 > 0:35:12Tonight, the girls are on a hen do. They'll be leaving fairly shortly.
0:35:12 > 0:35:17I've got to find 150 quid from somewhere. Well, about 175 quid.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21Emily's mum and dad would give me money if they needed to.
0:35:21 > 0:35:28They've done a hell of a lot for me and Emily, given us a lot of money, the deposit for our house.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31I don't want to go back to them.
0:35:31 > 0:35:36I will have failed, in a way. I'm not going to ask for money.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45I'm going to have to go back to Emily's mum and dad.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49You all right? You look nice.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52A bit of bad news. Budget has come to an end.
0:35:52 > 0:35:58- I wanted to see if I could borrow a bit of money.- A bit?- 200. - 200 I could probably do.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02Basically, it's 125 for the cocktails. £50 for Emily's budget.
0:36:02 > 0:36:07I'm hoping, cos it's a hen night, everyone will buy her drinks anyway.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11- I'll go and find a cashpoint. Where's a cashpoint?- Thanks a lot.
0:36:11 > 0:36:16'Fran's happy to help out, but is it the right moment to share the news?'
0:36:16 > 0:36:20- Guess why I had to see Paul? Three guesses.- I don't know.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Money.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Really?
0:36:24 > 0:36:28It doesn't really surprise me that Paul has run out of money.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32I'm furious. Just want to go and get drunk.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35I'm upset about having to borrow the money.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Putting extra pressure onto Emily.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40It's not nice
0:36:40 > 0:36:44and it is something that, you know, is going to upset me,
0:36:44 > 0:36:47thinking that Emily's upset.
0:36:49 > 0:36:55'Emily's fully aware that she and Paul have to pay her mum back.'
0:36:55 > 0:36:57- Here are your spends.- Thank you.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03'And with tonight costing almost £200,
0:37:03 > 0:37:07'she's having trouble letting her hair down.'
0:37:07 > 0:37:10I don't think we'd ever get married.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Now you're talking!
0:37:16 > 0:37:20'There are no spends left for Paul's stag night.'
0:37:20 > 0:37:22I've got 40 quid.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26I'm hoping that I don't have to touch that.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30I'm hoping the lad will be buying most of the drinks.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03I think you should now tell us all just why Paul is the one!
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Paul doesn't argue back, which is always good.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- Oh, be nice! > - I have been nice.
0:38:09 > 0:38:17You have a nice man that loves you and wants to marry you and have a baby and you're like, "Oh!"
0:38:17 > 0:38:21You can't even say a few words, declaring undying love.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25He's an arsehole!
0:38:26 > 0:38:31I love Emily to bits. I didn't realise how much I'd miss her.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33I miss her terribly.
0:38:33 > 0:38:38I've loved her a hell of a lot more than I've ever loved anyone before.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40SAXOPHONE PLAYS
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Does Paul make you happy?
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Um... Sometimes!
0:38:49 > 0:38:52- Oh, be nice! > - I am being nice!
0:38:52 > 0:38:55I'm ringing Paul. "Don't marry the bitch!"
0:38:55 > 0:38:58You're a big cow! Admit it!
0:38:58 > 0:39:03- Paul knows how much I love him. - Paul used to be a player.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Paul used to try and be a player.
0:39:05 > 0:39:10- But he's settled down. - He failed big-time being a player!
0:39:10 > 0:39:11Yeah.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15'And on that note, Emily decides she's had enough.
0:39:19 > 0:39:24'The following morning, she's fuming over Paul's bad financial planning.'
0:39:24 > 0:39:29I knew he'd ask my mum for some money at some point.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33Paul's very good at borrowing money but not at paying it back.
0:39:33 > 0:39:41There's going to be a lot of sorting out and I'll have to do that. So I'm not best pleased about that.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44'If it was up to Emily, photos would be a priority.'
0:39:44 > 0:39:50It's the first time we'll have some proper photos of the pair of us.
0:39:50 > 0:39:55I want to like the photos and not have issues with them.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Surely, he'll get a photographer.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00'Oh, no he hasn't!
0:40:00 > 0:40:07'With the budget spent, there won't be a photographer unless Paul claws back money from somewhere.'
0:40:07 > 0:40:10I'm on my way to the castle to meet Mr Naylor
0:40:10 > 0:40:16to find out whether it's too late to cancel any of the hotel rooms.
0:40:16 > 0:40:22I need to cancel as many as I can so I can free up some money to get a photographer.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26I was trying to be nice for everyone.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30To be honest, it's come back to bite me in the arse.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34If I can't cancel the rooms, I'm going to be devastated.
0:40:34 > 0:40:40I really badly want to get a photographer.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44I'm not going to be able to do it.
0:40:46 > 0:40:53'Paul spent over £1,000 on bedrooms for his friends and family. He needs that money back.'
0:40:53 > 0:40:56There's one little problem that I've got.
0:40:56 > 0:41:01Is there any chance of cancelling a couple of the rooms?
0:41:03 > 0:41:07The difficulty there, Paul, is that our booking policy
0:41:07 > 0:41:13is that any rooms within two weeks are chargeable. I'm afraid we have to stick with that.
0:41:13 > 0:41:20'With a no from Mr Naylor, no money left in his budget and no funds of his own,
0:41:20 > 0:41:22'Paul is left with no photographer.'
0:41:22 > 0:41:27I'm very, very gutted. I need to figure out what I'm going to do now.
0:41:29 > 0:41:34'There is one place he's not drawn any cash from yet. His mum.'
0:41:34 > 0:41:37What have you got left to do then, Paul?
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Well, basically, um...
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- I've run out of money now.- Oh, God!
0:41:42 > 0:41:46But I haven't got a photographer yet.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Will you have to use your own money?
0:41:49 > 0:41:51I've got none.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54- Didn't you say you wanted to give me money?- Yeah.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58- 200.- Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02- I still need to find 300 quid. - I'll loan you 300 as well.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06- Are you sure? - < Can I have some funds?
0:42:11 > 0:42:14But I want a group photo!
0:42:16 > 0:42:18'£500 and a free haircut later,
0:42:18 > 0:42:22'Paul needs to book a very last-minute photographer.'
0:42:22 > 0:42:24It's this Thursday.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30'With 24 hours to go, Paul's mission is almost complete.
0:42:30 > 0:42:36'Emily is about to come face-to-face with the dress he chose for her.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39'Or is she?'
0:42:39 > 0:42:45I'm about to ring the bridal shop cos Emily's going in for the dress fitting.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47I want her to be blindfolded.
0:42:47 > 0:42:52Just so if she doesn't like it, she's not worrying overnight.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55'Interesting logic, Paul(!)'
0:42:55 > 0:43:00- Cheshire Bridal Wear.- It's Paul. - Hello, how are you?- Good.
0:43:00 > 0:43:06I don't want her to see the dress so if you can just blindfold her,
0:43:06 > 0:43:08that would be great.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11- Are you sure about this? - Yeah. I'm sure.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Thank you. Bye-bye.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Oh, my goodness!
0:43:18 > 0:43:22Um... A little bit scary. We've never had this before.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25We don't know how a bride will react.
0:43:25 > 0:43:30A big part of the day is seeing the wedding dress and feeling it.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33We'll have to see how she reacts when she gets here.
0:43:35 > 0:43:40- What are you going to do if you don't like it?- Cry. And shout.
0:43:43 > 0:43:47He's asked that you do not see or touch the dress today.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49< Not until tomorrow.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52Oh, my God!
0:43:53 > 0:43:56I don't think I want to do that.
0:43:56 > 0:44:01I don't think that's fair. What if I absolutely hate it tomorrow?
0:44:01 > 0:44:03She'll go along with it.
0:44:03 > 0:44:07I'm not going to get married if I don't see the dress today.
0:44:07 > 0:44:09PHONE RINGS
0:44:09 > 0:44:14How definite are you that you don't want Emily to see the dress?
0:44:14 > 0:44:16I know I picked a really nice dress,
0:44:16 > 0:44:20but if she's got any concerns, I don't want her worrying tonight.
0:44:20 > 0:44:27It's going to be a nice surprise. She's waited three weeks, she can wait another day.
0:44:27 > 0:44:32You think she'll have a good night's sleep? She will not sleep tonight.
0:44:32 > 0:44:37I'm advising you, for your own safety, let her see it.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39She's not impressed.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42She'll like it. That's it. End of.
0:44:42 > 0:44:47I just spoke to Paul. He thinks you'll have a better night's sleep!
0:44:47 > 0:44:49LAUGHTER
0:44:49 > 0:44:53This is ruining my day. It's ruining it.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56I was looking forward to this so much.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58He's just ruining it.
0:44:58 > 0:45:01It's stupid!
0:45:01 > 0:45:05I feel so self-conscious about my body.
0:45:05 > 0:45:08For me to walk down the aisle is going to be hard enough.
0:45:08 > 0:45:14To not know the dress is going to make me feel so awful about myself.
0:45:14 > 0:45:18She's gone three weeks and let me organise everything.
0:45:18 > 0:45:22She wouldn't do that unless she had confidence in me.
0:45:22 > 0:45:26It's a part of me staying in control that little bit longer.
0:45:26 > 0:45:30It will ruin everybody's day if I don't feel good.
0:45:30 > 0:45:36If the flowers are wrong, it's not the end of the world. If the dress is wrong, it's the end of the world.
0:45:36 > 0:45:40'Can two bridesmaids change Paul's mind?'
0:45:41 > 0:45:45- Hello?- Paul, it's Gill and Hannah here.
0:45:45 > 0:45:49We need you to change your decision on Em seeing the dress.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51She's really upset.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53Has she had it on yet?
0:45:53 > 0:45:56No. She's not willing to try it on.
0:45:56 > 0:46:01She's crying. Any possibility you could change your mind on this?
0:46:01 > 0:46:03She'll have to see it, then.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06Thanks then. Good luck. Bye.
0:46:06 > 0:46:10Apparently, she's really upset.
0:46:10 > 0:46:15She's been crying her eyes out. She's not even tried it on yet so...
0:46:15 > 0:46:16I've got to let her see it.
0:46:20 > 0:46:23She'll cry if she doesn't like it.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26She'll scream if we say, "It's nice!"
0:46:30 > 0:46:32ALL: Aw...!
0:46:37 > 0:46:40I think he's done really well.
0:46:42 > 0:46:45He's chosen better than I chose.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47I really like it.
0:46:47 > 0:46:52- HANNAH: It's beautiful! - Thank God I saw it, though!
0:46:56 > 0:46:58It's nice. Oh, yes.
0:47:00 > 0:47:04Good job, otherwise he'd have been in so much BLEEP now!
0:47:04 > 0:47:07I like all of it.
0:47:09 > 0:47:13I can relax now and prepare myself for the shock of tomorrow.
0:47:13 > 0:47:18'It seems Emily still has no faith in Paul's decisions.
0:47:18 > 0:47:22'For him, it's been about more than planning a wedding.'
0:47:22 > 0:47:25Emily finds it hard to let go.
0:47:25 > 0:47:29I'm hoping after this, she's going to trust me a bit more.
0:47:29 > 0:47:33I've enjoyed having the control and the power.
0:47:33 > 0:47:38If she doesn't like it, I'll have two black eyes outside the castle!
0:47:38 > 0:47:44'Paul may feel like a new man, but will his medieval castle,
0:47:44 > 0:47:47'civil ceremony and chocolate colour scheme
0:47:47 > 0:47:50'make Emily feel like a princess?
0:47:55 > 0:47:59'The wedding morning, and the bride's already on a downer.'
0:47:59 > 0:48:02I'm really tired. Ethan had me up at half five.
0:48:02 > 0:48:05DOOR BELL
0:48:05 > 0:48:09'But within minutes, an army of stylists arrive.'
0:48:09 > 0:48:13- Come to give you a hand with the wedding.- Thank God for that!
0:48:13 > 0:48:16- I'm sure you'll like it. - I'll kill him if I don't.
0:48:16 > 0:48:20'They're under strict instructions from Paul.'
0:48:20 > 0:48:25This might not work out great. How does a man know about hair?
0:48:27 > 0:48:29Yours is going to look nice, Em.
0:48:29 > 0:48:35- First present.- That's so pretty. - Does this mean there's no veil?
0:48:35 > 0:48:37I don't know about a veil.
0:48:37 > 0:48:39Well, tiara it is.
0:48:39 > 0:48:42Are you bothered about not having a veil?
0:48:42 > 0:48:44A little bit.
0:48:47 > 0:48:50- Oh, my God! - Do you like it?
0:48:50 > 0:48:54I don't know. It doesn't look like me.
0:48:54 > 0:48:57You look wonderful. Didn't recognise you.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59It looks really beautiful.
0:48:59 > 0:49:03'The surprises keep on coming.'
0:49:03 > 0:49:07- I'm the make-up artist.- Oh, my God!
0:49:08 > 0:49:10I feel a bit sick, really.
0:49:10 > 0:49:15We haven't done a practice run of walking down the aisle.
0:49:15 > 0:49:20Where do we sit? Do we stand behind you the whole way?
0:49:20 > 0:49:25- How do you know what to say...? - Stop talking! Stop scaring me!
0:49:25 > 0:49:27Hello.
0:49:27 > 0:49:32- Are they the flowers? - Your bouquet. How nice is that?
0:49:34 > 0:49:37Oh, wow!
0:49:37 > 0:49:42- Do you like them?- Yeah. I never would have thought of gold.
0:49:42 > 0:49:46- Can we get the dress on now? - Yeah.- Yay!
0:49:51 > 0:49:53How near to being ready are you?
0:49:53 > 0:49:55Do you want a slap? >
0:49:55 > 0:49:57"Do you want a slap!"
0:50:02 > 0:50:05- Wow!- Look at you!
0:50:05 > 0:50:09'To Emily's surprise, Paul's thought of everything.'
0:50:09 > 0:50:13- GASPS - Oh, wow!
0:50:13 > 0:50:15It's perfect. He's done very well.
0:50:15 > 0:50:18Slightly looking like a Barbie doll
0:50:18 > 0:50:22but if that's what Paul likes... each to their own.
0:50:24 > 0:50:26Aw!
0:50:30 > 0:50:33I'll see you when we get there.
0:50:33 > 0:50:40'So far, it looks like Emily might be getting the traditional wedding she's always dreamed of.'
0:50:40 > 0:50:44I can't breathe. This had better be a quick journey.
0:50:44 > 0:50:49'It's a 45-minute drive, just enough time to start roasting a hog.'
0:50:55 > 0:50:59- Do you like it? - I think it's pretty bloody amazing!
0:50:59 > 0:51:05'The guests are impressed but Emily's just realised she's not getting married in her church.'
0:51:05 > 0:51:10I'm not going to St John's. I always would have liked a church.
0:51:10 > 0:51:13I just hope everything else is nice.
0:51:18 > 0:51:23I think Emily's going to be seriously impressed with this.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25Oh, my God!
0:51:25 > 0:51:29Wow! It's actually a proper castle.
0:51:31 > 0:51:35WOMAN: Remember to tell her how fantastic she looks.
0:51:35 > 0:51:38Which won't be difficult. I've just seen her.
0:51:38 > 0:51:40HARP PLAYS
0:51:58 > 0:52:01You all right, babe? You look great.
0:52:01 > 0:52:04- GIGGLING:- I'm really scared.
0:52:07 > 0:52:10- You did well.- How well?- Really well.
0:52:12 > 0:52:15I love you.
0:52:15 > 0:52:17- You look beautiful.- Thank you.
0:52:17 > 0:52:20Will you Paul William Galton
0:52:20 > 0:52:24take Emily Claire Mary Pridham here present
0:52:24 > 0:52:26to be your lawful wedded wife?
0:52:26 > 0:52:28I do.
0:52:28 > 0:52:30Do you Emily Claire Mary Pridham
0:52:30 > 0:52:35take Paul William Galton to be your lawful wedded husband?
0:52:35 > 0:52:37I do.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40Can I ask who has the rings?
0:52:40 > 0:52:44- Oh, my God, Paul! - Do you like that?- No.
0:52:51 > 0:52:54Always something, Paul.
0:52:54 > 0:52:58- I forgot your mum don't like birds. - Luckily, she's still there.
0:53:03 > 0:53:05You're now husband and wife.
0:53:05 > 0:53:07APPLAUSE
0:53:14 > 0:53:20'Paul hasn't forgotten that his bride wanted a church wedding.'
0:53:20 > 0:53:25- We're doing it again in the church across the road.- Really?- Yeah.
0:53:25 > 0:53:27Oh, my God!

0:53:35 > 0:53:38be with you both now and forever more.

0:53:41 > 0:53:47'How many brides walk down the aisle twice on their wedding day?'
0:53:47 > 0:53:52It wouldn't have felt right if she hadn't had the blessing.
0:53:52 > 0:53:55Paul has done a fantastic job. You can't fault anything.
0:53:55 > 0:54:00He chose a superb dress for Emily. She was very happy with it.
0:54:00 > 0:54:06^ Paul's done fantastic. It would take a lot to exceed this.
0:54:06 > 0:54:12'By the skin of his teeth, Paul's even managed to get a photographer.'
0:54:12 > 0:54:15Oh! How good does it look?!
0:54:15 > 0:54:19I would have had flowers and chair covers.
0:54:19 > 0:54:24- It's different but of equal standard to what I would have done.- Better.
0:54:24 > 0:54:29- WHISPERS:- Possibly. - Is there anything you'd change?- No.
0:54:29 > 0:54:34- Apart from that bloody bird! - Good though.- No, Paul. It was awful.
0:54:40 > 0:54:44'Paul's keen to show Emily what he blew the budget on.'
0:54:44 > 0:54:47Oh, my God!
0:54:47 > 0:54:51- Smells nice, don't it? - Nice? It's a dead animal.
0:55:01 > 0:55:03- GASPS - Oh, my God!
