0:00:05 > 0:00:07This is Don't Tell The Bride.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13- What do you think? - You look really nice.- Do I?
0:00:13 > 0:00:16- Only the bravest of brides... - Oh, I'm really scared.
0:00:16 > 0:00:21..Would let their groom organise the biggest day of their life.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25- ..Alone.- She'll love it, I know she will. But she'll probably kill me.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27The grooms get £12,000...
0:00:27 > 0:00:29No strippers!
0:00:29 > 0:00:32..And the brides get no say in how it's spent.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36With a million ways to splash the cash...
0:00:36 > 0:00:39I got married in a battleship!
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Black for Vegas, baby.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- ..And a million things to organise... - I don't know what she wants.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45He's well stressing me out.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Can the guys pull it off in just three weeks?
0:00:48 > 0:00:50I can't do it.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And will it be for better...
0:00:53 > 0:00:54..Or for worse?
0:00:54 > 0:00:57After 10 minutes, I want to get it off.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58You've ripped the whole family apart.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02This is hell on earth.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Tonight, the pressure's on for farmer, Nathan.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Buy a pig, cook his head...
0:01:08 > 0:01:12..As he attempts to blow away bride-to-be Nicky.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14A feast on the eyes.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- But will taking on the weird world of...- Women things.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20I feel like a perv. ..Nipples.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22..Get him into deep water?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24I'm really gutted.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25Yes!
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Will he manage to mollify the mother of all brides?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32I ain't happy, Nick. This is the biggest day of your life.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- RADIO:- 'We're very cross...' - Why?
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Certain people are not happy.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40It's not only Nicky's hopes and dreams, it's my hopes and dreams.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42And will his bride even make it to her own wedding?
0:01:42 > 0:01:43I won't believe the words.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- Where is she?- Can this man... - I've lost my trousers.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- ..Give this woman... - I think my boobs do all the talking.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- ..The romantic day of her dreams?- If you mess this up, you'll be stuffed.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55My heart's pounding.

0:02:12 > 0:02:16Today, 23-year-old Nicky is moving out of the home she shares
0:02:16 > 0:02:20with 25-year-old Nathan in Kidderminster.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23The couple live with their two dogs, Tara and Leah,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27their cat, Fern, and seven chickens.
0:02:29 > 0:02:35As their love's grown, so has their flock, but it all started seven years ago in a nightclub in Dudley.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37'I remember what she was wearing.'
0:02:37 > 0:02:41She was wearing a black dress. It had loads of holes down it,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44big holes, here, all the way down.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Thinking back on it now, it was probably like a slutty dress, that is. Really. Is it not?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- Excuse me?!- Was it not, though?
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Excuse me?- I don't think you were wearing any pants.- You were attrac...
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I don't think she was wearing... the hole was there.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- I never go out with... - And the hole was there...
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- I never go out commando! - That's what I thought anyway.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Oh! You were obviously attracted to it, can't have been that slutty.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10Going out with a dirty man wasn't top of Nicky's wish-list either.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15I never dreamt of meeting a guy that worked on a farm.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Her intended works at Bodenham Arboretum and Farm.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24156 acres of managed woodland, with over 3,000 trees and shrubs.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28He's the farm's manager, and an expert tree surgeon.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I could be driving tractors...
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Driving a digger...
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Climbing trees...
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Dead wooding or dismantling, or whatever.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53Nathan's boss Jim remembers him starting at the farm as a kid.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Spotty 15-year-old, I could describe him as,
0:03:55 > 0:04:00but there were always a spark of a young man who wanted to be outside,
0:04:00 > 0:04:04and 10 years on, now he's in charge of everybody who works here, basically, on the outside team.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08While Nathan's office is the great outdoors,
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Nicky studies for a Social Services degree from home.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14MUSIC: Theme from "Murder, She Wrote"
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I'm the brains and he's the brawn.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23Only problem is, the brawn is always bringing the outdoors in.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29If it's been raining, he comes in in muddy boots.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31It was only this morning I hoovered in here!
0:04:31 > 0:04:34I just walked in, didn't I, and forgot.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Nathan! Get the Hoover out and do it properly.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42If he's been looking after the pigs that day, he absolutely reeks to high heaven.'
0:04:42 > 0:04:47- Maybe you didn't shower properly last night.- I did.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I'm a man's man, and I always will be, I think.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52I'll always get my hands dirty.
0:04:52 > 0:04:59And when this man's man popped the question, it wasn't the most romantic of moments.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I said to Nic, "Shall we get married?"
0:05:01 > 0:05:04'It was just like a question. It was like,'
0:05:04 > 0:05:06"What are we having for tea?"
0:05:06 > 0:05:08"Egg and chips?" "OK."
0:05:08 > 0:05:11After such a pants proposal,
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Nathan has a lot to prove to his bride-to-be.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Because he doesn't tell me
0:05:17 > 0:05:20how he feels, I want him to show me how he feels.
0:05:20 > 0:05:26So, will Nathan be able to hatch a wedding that shows his chick how much he cares?
0:05:26 > 0:05:27It'll be all right.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28I hope so.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30For your sake.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Ta-ra.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36It's time for the couple to say goodbye.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Nicky is moving back in with her mum and dad in Dudley.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44This wedding will have to impress not just the bride, but also her mother.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48It's not only Nicky's hopes and dreams,
0:05:48 > 0:05:51it's my hopes and dreams over the last 20 years.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53What if I don't like it and you do?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Well, I'm the bride.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- What I say goes.- What you say goes?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02It has got to be the day of her dreams.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07Everything, everything depends on this day.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Everything.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11No pressure, then!
0:06:11 > 0:06:18Luckily for Nathan, best man Nick has come all the way from Newquay to support his childhood chum.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- How's it going, man? Good to see you, kid. I've got some beers. - Good lad!
0:06:24 > 0:06:27If I weren't marrying Nicholla, I'd marry him, I really would.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29I love him.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30I love him, I really do.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Ah! So, Mr Un-romantic does have a softer side.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Three weeks.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Day one, and Nathan and Nic are off to their local church in Cookley,
0:06:43 > 0:06:4510 minutes down the road.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47MUSIC: "Prayin'" by Plan B
0:06:53 > 0:06:59But at such short notice, the boys are going to have to do a great sales job on the vicar.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03I tell you something, that were the hardest thing I think I've ever done.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04My heart's pounding.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I need a drink for my hangover.
0:07:08 > 0:07:14Nicky and her mum also have their heart set on a church, St Leonard's in Bewdley.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17This is the entrance that the bride would come in.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22For me, it's not about your wedding, this place.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24It's about...
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- the essence of the place, it's the feel of the wood, isn't it?- Mm.
0:07:28 > 0:07:34It's just a calmness that comes and descends.
0:07:34 > 0:07:40The true essence of marriage is promising in the eyes of God to one another.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Nowhere else can that happen.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46It's got to be in the right place. It's got to be, hasn't it?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Got to be in a church.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50I cannot do a civil ceremony.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I won't believe the words.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00Back at base and the vicar has an answer for nervous Nathan.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03So, that's a "no" then, is it?
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Is there any way you can think about it and... Can't?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Thank you. Bye.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16That's that, then.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19It's a no?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22What was his reasons for not doing in the church?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Didn't feel happy about it. - Didn't feel happy about it?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Oh, man. I'm proper gutted, I am, man.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- Yeah.- Really gutted.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Faced with no time to find another church, the groom must move on.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54But the setbacks revealed a whole new side of Nathan to his best man.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56He's not an emotional person at all,
0:08:56 > 0:09:00and when I saw the way he reacted when he didn't get a church yesterday,
0:09:00 > 0:09:04he didn't get upset for himself, he got upset because he felt he was going to disappoint Nicky.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08He must love her, because he's trying to do what he can to make her happy.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18The bride-to-be is in need of some distraction.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22So she's taking her mother to see her dream reception venue.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Hagley Hall is a fine example of 18th-century Palladian architecture,
0:09:26 > 0:09:32set in 350 acres of landscaped parkland.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35It's just so elegant.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39You could imagine the piano being played when your guests arrive.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43It's stunning. It's not your normal venue, is it?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- It's out of this world.- It is, yeah.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49It's every girl's dream.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51But it's not Nathan's.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55He wants to hold his reception on the farm where he works.
0:09:55 > 0:10:01Picture this, posh inside, and have it rustic and stuff outside.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06Ah, yes, just picture the posh inside!
0:10:06 > 0:10:11Red carpet, into, and then 'ting' this all up.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Bloody hell.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16It befits any princess, this does, doesn't it?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19A feast on the eyes.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23What's this, Nath?
0:10:23 > 0:10:28- This is a toilet.- This is a toilet?!
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Imagine it. How good's this?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32What about the women?
0:10:32 > 0:10:37Tasteful, elegant, sophisticated.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- Women could sit on that, couldn't they?- You can't do that!
0:10:44 > 0:10:47You'll have to get some portable toilets for the women.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49We'll put that one on the back burner.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52The only word I can describe it is splendid and regal.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56That's two words. But here's two more, rural and rough.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58BAA!
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Hang on, so he's actually going to have his wedding in that barn?
0:11:02 > 0:11:08Sadly for Nathan, it doesn't have a wedding licence, so he still needs somewhere to get married.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Somewhere more sophisticated...
0:11:11 > 0:11:12I need a BLEEP HE FARTS
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Oh dear.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18I like the ivy... Oh, Nathan, have you just farted?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20You can take the boy off the farm...
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Jesus! Get it out before we go in there, man.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25What we're actually looking for is, if possible,
0:11:25 > 0:11:29just a civil ceremony here, if that's possible?
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- Just a civil ceremony.- We've got a barn, you see, in Wolverley,
0:11:33 > 0:11:36which me and Nick, we want to try and decorate it ourselves
0:11:36 > 0:11:39and have a whole day of reception ourself, you see.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41What numbers are you thinking of?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- Possibly about 80. - 80, no problem at all.
0:11:45 > 0:11:51- So is this the patio suite? - This is the patio suite. The entrance would be though there.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53And the bride would be directed round here.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58'I wanted to have a church, but we couldn't get a church. So this would be the next best thing.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02You could create the aisle with the chairs, so she's got longer to walk in.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- There would be a long aisle, it would be straight. - Lovely, thank you very much.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08No problem at all. I wish you all the very best.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Deal done.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14And 650 quid later, the boys have got a registry do
0:12:14 > 0:12:16and their reception in the bag.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- Yeah!- Yeah!- Yeah!- Yeah!
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Now all they have to do is transform a dirty old barn
0:12:27 > 0:12:31into something that will impress the girl who wants a stately home.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33MOO!
0:12:33 > 0:12:37But there won't be a wedding at all unless Nicky signs the relevant documents.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Nathan has arranged her an appointment at the local registry office.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44This can only mean one thing...
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Of all the churches in this bloody area, and he can't get one?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51I don't believe that.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55He would have tried, but, there's trying and there's trying harder.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I don't want to go in.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05I'd rather have no after-venue and just have the church.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07If I had to pick.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09The church is the important thing.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23I don't know what to think.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32I really hope it's the case that I don't need to use those notices of marriage.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34I really do.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41Nicky may be anticipating disappointment,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44but that's nothing compared to how her mum's going to take the news.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49I've had to go to the registry office.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- So you're getting married in a registry office?- I don't know. - It sounds like it.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- Don't know.- I ain't happy, Nick.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59This is the biggest day, one of the biggest days of your life.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04- Yeah, but the day...- I've tried to keep my feelings to myself
0:14:04 > 0:14:06so not to upset you and not to wind you up and that,
0:14:06 > 0:14:10but really, already you're saying a register office.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- I don't know if it is! - I'm sorry, no.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17You might as well get married on a pub car park or in a public outdoor,
0:14:17 > 0:14:20as get married in a register office.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- I don't know! - I'm sorry. I mean, I'm sorry. No.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24I just don't agree with it.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29Just what every bride needs, a supportive mum.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34So far, Nathan hasn't impressed his future mother-in-law.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Maybe his choice of catering will save his bacon...
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Why don't we buy pig,
0:14:41 > 0:14:44cut off the pig's head, cook his head,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47so you still got the pig's head on the plate?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50I ain't picking the pig,
0:14:50 > 0:14:54and let him oink at me and look into my eyes...
0:14:54 > 0:14:55HE OINKS >
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Back at the farm - I mean, reception venue -
0:15:00 > 0:15:03and Nathan's hoping to do a deal with his boss, Jim.
0:15:03 > 0:15:09I was wondering if I could buy a pig off you?
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Good idea to have one of our own pigs, but you're not going to buy it, certainly not.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I'd like to give it to you.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18No, no, Jim. We can sort out a pig.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Who else is going to give you a pig for a wedding present?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Nobody.- Exactly.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- Only you.- That's right! So accept.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Most people get strippers.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Some of them are pigs.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Good man, thank you. Can I have this one, cos he's eating my shoe?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35That's the wedding breakfast sorted.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Yummy!
0:15:38 > 0:15:41But the barn is a different matter.
0:15:41 > 0:15:48Nathan's holding his DIY wedding reception in a venue he's attempting to create from scratch.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Today, we've achieved...
0:15:50 > 0:15:52We've got a sleeper wall gone in.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57All the tractors have come out now.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Final blow over.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09The stage is all in for the band.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14It's not as hard as I imagined, actually.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16We've done it pretty quick.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20But it's empty.
0:16:22 > 0:16:29With her wedding and her mother on her mind, Nicky meets up with her bridesmaid, former workmate Louise.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31My mum keeps worrying about it more than me.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35She's had it planned since I've been about four or something silly.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37She's driving me mad.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41We sat down for Sunday dinner yesterday,
0:16:41 > 0:16:43and it was that, "I wonder what Nathan's doing now.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45"I wonder what he's planned.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47"I wonder when you're going to get your invite.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50"I wonder what colour he's picked. Will he forget to do your hair?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52"What about your make-up on the day?"
0:16:52 > 0:16:56She's taking it harder than me, because of giving up control.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01Because it is something that a mother and a daughter normally do together, don't they?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04At least you'll be spending more time with her now.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- So that'll be nice for her.- Yeah.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11And as if they're not in each other's pockets enough already, the girls are off on a trip.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16When Nicky was 12, she and her mum travelled to Paris.
0:17:16 > 0:17:23Ever since, Nicky's mum has dreamed of returning to Europe's most romantic city
0:17:23 > 0:17:25to pick out her daughter's wedding dress.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Now you're old enough to appreciate
0:17:28 > 0:17:31what my dream was back then.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Is it our dream? It is our dream, isn't it?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36We just won't be coming away with the dress.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38MUSIC: "Via Con Me" by Paolo Conte
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Bonjour.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53Looking for, I think, a tight fit to about there and then...
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- Fish shape?- That's it, yeah.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58OK, we have some dresses.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Mum knows exactly what she wants.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- Which one was it that you liked? - It's white, though, isn't it?- So?
0:18:04 > 0:18:05This is ivory.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Yeah, ivory, I like ivory.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12That's beautiful. I do like that.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- Try those on first, yeah?- Yeah.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18I've built it up to be such a dream
0:18:18 > 0:18:23that I really don't think the dress I imagined exists.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- This is the shape you didn't want me in.- Oh, it's awful.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34You look like one of those tenpins.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38I'm sorry, it's awful. I'm sorry!
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- I think I need to try a... - Ah, you want more volume?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Yeah, volume.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- Close your eyes this time. - I am, I am.
0:18:47 > 0:18:54If that dress was total ballerina style to the floor, then sticky out, with lots of diamantes on,
0:18:54 > 0:18:58and some sort of diamante trim here,
0:18:58 > 0:19:03perhaps a brooch there, a diamante brooch to pick up the sparkle,
0:19:03 > 0:19:07and then the crown, that would be the perfect dress.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Can you be a bit more specific?
0:19:12 > 0:19:13It's huge.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18I don't think I need to say anything, I think my boobs do all the talking!
0:19:23 > 0:19:25You don't like it?
0:19:26 > 0:19:27No?
0:19:28 > 0:19:32No, I don't. No. Do you?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Do you like it?- I like the volume.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37It makes her look like a...
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- Like a porn star's wedding, I'm sorry.- Don't worry!
0:19:41 > 0:19:46And while Nicky's channelling her inner porn star in Paris,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48maybe the boys will fare better in historic Kinver.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53My heart's pounding being in here.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- It would be, mate. This is it.- No.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59No.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- What about that one, Nath? - No. Nah, don't like that.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03No.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05No.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09No.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12I don't know. You just think...
0:20:12 > 0:20:15They all look pretty similar, but they're not.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19When you look at them again, you think... What was Kayley's dress like?
0:20:19 > 0:20:20It was nice.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- What about that one, Nath?- I do like these, like, flowery stuff.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27It's like trees, isn't it, sort of? Maybe, then.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29That'd be quite nice.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Maybe this one? That's heavy, that is.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39That's definitely in the 'maybe' pile. Yeah.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Do you want us to do a catwalk for you?- If you can, please.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46You know, you haven't thought about that, the rustle when it goes down the aisle
0:20:46 > 0:20:49so all anybody hears is you, the rustle,
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- do you know what I mean? It's all part of the day.- Yeah.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Mum's off again.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00We were looking for something from the waist out.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01Grande.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05- Grande. Grande.- Very large? - Is the bride allowed an opinion?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I like the one in the window with the bow.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- Beautiful.- No detail?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15You know, diamante and that?
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- I think it's a simple, elegant dress.- Try it, then.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24With this, I was panicking, but I get to walk away at the end of it.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- If you mess this up, you're stuffed. - Yeah.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- That's nice, isn't it? - That's actually pretty good.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35It's quite a simple dress for us to actually alter.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40The ever-practical groom has even thought about the alterations.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42We thought about shortening it with a stapler.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45You seriously thought about that, didn't you?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48You wouldn't even know, I don't reckon. I'm all for practicality, me.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Oh, now I'm stumped.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- That's different, isn't it? - That's more of a Nicky dress.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00It's got flowers on for your trees and stuff.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04That's better than the first one, isn't it? Would your mum influence what you bought?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- If I loved it and she hated it, I would rethink.- Yeah.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Absolutely love it.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27It's nice.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30But I think it's elegant, simple.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- It's very classic.- It is.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34It's...
0:22:35 > 0:22:37It's classic.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- I think the net ruins it, to be fair.- I think it does, you know.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- It takes away from the dress. - Yeah, it's good just with the...
0:22:45 > 0:22:49- ..headband. - Again, that's entirely up to you.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- It's whether... That's what makes the mums cry.- What, the veil?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Not much chance of that happening.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Is nice, too.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01That's even better.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Yes.- That's even better.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07But couldn't you have, as well, just...?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Oh, Mum with the diamantes! Let's go.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Just something diamante there...
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- In the middle of the bow?- Yeah, like a little brooch or something?
0:23:15 > 0:23:21And then little diamantes here, and here, and here, here, here?
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Just for... Like fairy dust.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27And then it's both our dresses.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Two dresses for the price of one.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Yay!
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- That's the one.- Yeah.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40- That's the one.- This is the one, without a doubt.- It is. It is.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42That's the one.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- It is.- Yeah, that's the one.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- This is the one.- It is the one.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- This IS the one.- That IS the one.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Actually, it's not the one.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Shame.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58It's the end of week one, and Nathan's got himself
0:23:58 > 0:24:02a build-your-own barn, a dress, and a pig.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06It must be time for the stag.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12# When the weather is fine You know it's the time
0:24:12 > 0:24:14# For messing about on the river... #
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Nathan and Nick have opted for a day out on a canal boat.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21How nice!
0:24:22 > 0:24:25But every captain needs his crew.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42THEY CHEER
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- Do you want to jump aboard?- No!
0:24:52 > 0:24:54That's a BLEEP tower, that is.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01THEY CHEER AND LAUGH
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Come on, boys, go, go, go!
0:25:23 > 0:25:27- There's a barge coming up now. - It'll be all OK when we get out.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Three cheers for this stag do! Hip, hip, hooray!
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray!
0:25:42 > 0:25:44The fun's over, and it's back to the planning.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49There's an empty barn to decorate and a colour scheme to choose.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- We're thinking of burgundy. - OK, wine burgundy or a very...
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- Land Rover burgundy. - NARRATOR LAUGHS
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- The... er... - Can I go and get my truck?
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- Course you can. - My truck's burgundy.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- OK, bring your truck down, then, and I'll have a look at it.- Oh, shut up!
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- Do you need any thank you bouquets for the mums?- How much are they?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13They tend to start about £20.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Yeah, I'll have a couple of them. - Yeah? OK.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19- No, no, no.- That's fine.- I don't know what I'm thanking them for.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- It's me organising it, not them. - Right, OK!
0:26:22 > 0:26:24The plum...
0:26:26 > 0:26:32..is actually a little bit better, rather than having the pink, unless you're going to bring in pink?
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- No, plum.- Right, OK.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38So, Land Rover burgundy it is, then.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42The lads now need to find bridesmaids dresses to match.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47They've got to kit out two girls under the age of five and one adult.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50First up, the adult.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- That's a fat person's dress. - Maxi dresses, these are called.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57That's the thing, but it's the wrong colour, isn't it?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- What do you know about her?- Not a lot. I don't even know her age.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- I don't know what size she is. - You've never met her, then?
0:27:04 > 0:27:05I think I have.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09I think she gave me a massage...
0:27:09 > 0:27:10- once before.- Really?
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- Yeah.- Naked?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Semi.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- That'd work well with that colour. - A bit small.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23Have they got a kiddie section here? It's got denim on it, though?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Can we take the denim off?
0:27:25 > 0:27:29- Too sweet.- The right sizes, what's the coincidence?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31- £16.10?- Bargain!
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Can I pay for them, please? Discount, I like that word.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Time to meet the mystery masseuse.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- All right, Louise.- Hello, Louise. - How are you doing?- Not so bad.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Righto. Red, red for danger.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52But maybe Nathan had visions of a younger model.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57I don't... I just...
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Mutton dressed as lamb? That's what you say, isn't it?
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- Digging a deep hole, ain't I? - I'd shut up, mate.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19Yeah, it's all right, that, isn't it? What do you think of that?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- I quite like it, actually. - Do you?- Yeah.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27- Red.- That's nice.- You like that one? I think so. All right then.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33- Great. How easy was that? - High five!- High five!
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Cut off from the wedding plans for 10 whole days,
0:28:36 > 0:28:41the mother of the bride's had to distract herself by doing a spot of baking.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44She's arranged a surprise bridal shower for Nicky.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47I just thought, as a special tribute to Nicky tonight,
0:28:47 > 0:28:53that I'd do all her favourite things and give me chance to do
0:28:53 > 0:28:56a bit of icing and a bit of, make a few flowers and things.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Wait, wait there a minute.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00OK!
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Number one...
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- come on through. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:29:05 > 0:29:06Come on, Louise!
0:29:09 > 0:29:13# Love and marriage, love and marriage
0:29:13 > 0:29:17# Go together like a horse and carriage
0:29:17 > 0:29:19# This I tell you, brother
0:29:19 > 0:29:24# You can't have one without the other... #
0:29:24 > 0:29:28..So happy, darling, if you'd be my wife.
0:29:28 > 0:29:28Yes!
0:29:32 > 0:29:33- So, what else do we need?- A cake.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35A cake!
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Three, two, one!
0:29:44 > 0:29:47I'm really sad, really.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52I mean, I've seen somebody else make her a paper dress,
0:29:52 > 0:29:55somebody make her a cake.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59All the things that I should've been doing for her, really,
0:29:59 > 0:30:03but let her have her fun. That's OK, she can have her fun.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05I don't mind.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06I do mind!
0:30:06 > 0:30:10I really mind, but still, let her have her fun.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14- Let her have her fun. - Throughout, my mum has always
0:30:14 > 0:30:19been focused on what would make the ideal wedding, so it's been
0:30:19 > 0:30:22very difficult to manage my mum's expectations
0:30:22 > 0:30:25in terms of what she can expect on the wedding day.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29But there's only so long this mother of the bride can bite her tongue.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38'You need to know about dress sizes for Lily May, yeah?'
0:30:38 > 0:30:41I hope not, cos I've got it already.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44'You need age five probably five to six.'
0:30:47 > 0:30:50I got four to five, and there's no other ones in the shop.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Is there any way...
0:30:52 > 0:30:56- if it doesn't fit, you could cut the arms a bit?- 'No!
0:30:56 > 0:31:01'Nathan, this is your wedding day, you can't cut the arms!
0:31:01 > 0:31:04'And something else, we haven't had an invite yet.'
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Yeah, don't worry, it's on the cards.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09I'm struggling a bit, though, to be fair, cos...
0:31:09 > 0:31:12I've had to acquaint myself with a computer.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14'Right, we'll see you on the day.'
0:31:14 > 0:31:15- Bye.- 'Bye.'
0:31:19 > 0:31:23Poor Nathan, his mother-in-law's meddling has put a cat among the...
0:31:23 > 0:31:25chickens.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29This groom's got bigger fish to fry.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34He's still got the mammoth task of converting his barn into a reception venue.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37With a week until the wedding, the barn looks like...
0:31:37 > 0:31:41well, a barn. Still, at least everyone's turned up to help.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50I wonder if he's regretting his DIY wedding yet?
0:31:54 > 0:31:58The bar! Beer! We like our beer.
0:31:58 > 0:31:59More beer!
0:31:59 > 0:32:03- Ladies drink beer too, you know. Nathan, what you drinking?- Beer!
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- What you drinking, Ben? - Cider.- You what?!
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Bar's up so that flooring can go down.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18But it seems there's no escaping the mother of the bride.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- 'You were joking this morning?' - About what?
0:32:21 > 0:32:23'The dress and cutting it?'
0:32:23 > 0:32:25No.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27'I'm very cross, I tell you. Very cross.'
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Why?
0:32:30 > 0:32:33'Cos you don't cut a bridesmaid's dress.'
0:32:33 > 0:32:36But the thing is, it's what... I can't get...
0:32:36 > 0:32:38It means me buying another two dresses.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42Not just one dress, it means me buying another two dresses.
0:32:43 > 0:32:49'You know, I'm trying to stay calm, but, I tell you, you can't bloomin' cut dresses.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- 'This has got to be sorted.' - Right, see you in a bit.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55She said you can't cut a bridesmaid's dress. Why not?
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Why can't you cut a bridesmaid's dress?
0:33:01 > 0:33:06I don't need this now, cos I thought that was sorted then.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08But it's not, obviously.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14Oh, well. I think I've got bigger fish to fry than bridesmaid dresses.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18The call sets the tone for the rest of the day.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Whoopsie.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29With pressure mounting from all angles, there's no time to waste.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33But after a team-building session - at the pub -
0:33:33 > 0:33:35something crucial's been forgotten.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37I've lost my trousers.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42I'm not drinking ever again.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Nic!
0:33:50 > 0:33:53The morning after the night before. HE LAUGHS
0:33:54 > 0:33:55HE LAUGHS
0:34:00 > 0:34:01All right, dog.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Mate, we've got to go.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08I need a cup of tea.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Got to have a cup of tea this morning.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14But more grief is on its way.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Watch out, watch out, there's a bridesmaid about!
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Hello. How's it going?
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- I'm a bit stressed, I'm concerned. - About what?
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- Nobody's had an invite. What's going on?- It's all sorted.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27But you're the only two going at the minute, cos nobody knows when it is!
0:34:27 > 0:34:30- We've done invites... - Have they gone out?- Nah.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32People are getting worried, luvvie.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Don't worry about them, they'll be all right.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Nick, go and get the invitations.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41- We'll take them.- All right then, Nath, I'm going to make a move.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44All right.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46- Invitations, I'm on it.- Today?
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Yeah.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52And there's no better way for a country lad
0:34:52 > 0:34:57to get rid of his hangover than with a spot of urban retail therapy.
0:34:57 > 0:35:02Something old, something blue, something borrowed and something...
0:35:02 > 0:35:05new. So if I can get some blue underwear...
0:35:14 > 0:35:17- Blue.- Correct(!)
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- That might be a bit uncomfortable. - Incorrect.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- Roomy!- Then she's got a choice, hasn't she, then?
0:35:35 > 0:35:40He's won the battle of the briefs, but now he faces a much bigger challenge.
0:35:40 > 0:35:4334E, I think. 34E.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47I feel like a perv.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50- What's the E bit? - That's the cup size.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52What about if I get some of that tape and tape her up?
0:35:52 > 0:35:58- It's holding things together, so you're not actually seeing any underwear at all.- Nipples.- That too.
0:35:58 > 0:36:03- You've probably seen Victoria Beckham in things that are gaping... - Not really. Never met her.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07- And matching pants. - No, I wasn't going to. I got these because they're blue.
0:36:07 > 0:36:12- Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. - You're a true romantic!
0:36:14 > 0:36:19Back at her mum's, Nicky receives the first piece of news about her wedding.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21This is going to be the invite, isn't it?
0:36:27 > 0:36:28You're what?
0:36:28 > 0:36:34"You are cordially invited to celebrate the wedding of you and me." Aw!
0:36:34 > 0:36:39"The wedding shall commence at 1pm prompt. You will be picked up and taken to the secret...
0:36:39 > 0:36:44"Make sure you're up bright and early because you will have a busy morning. Love, Nath."
0:36:44 > 0:36:46"You'll be picked up..." - Picked up! -
0:36:46 > 0:36:48"..and taken to a secret location."
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Like, which house? I wanted to go home the night before.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56- I want you to be here. - I don't want to be here, Mum.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00I want to get ready for my wedding at my own house.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03I don't want to get ready here.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07Nathan will have you every other night for the rest of your life.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11- I don't care! I wanted the comfort of my own home.- Stop being selfish.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Stop being selfish?! It's the only thing I wanted!
0:37:14 > 0:37:19Stop it. It's not like you. Stop it. I think I better leave you alone.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Just smile and say, "Thank you, Nathan."
0:37:25 > 0:37:28At least we know it's Sunday.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31That's the bride put back in her box.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36Now, if only Nathan could put his mother-in-law back in hers.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Today, I've got to go back to Debenhams
0:37:41 > 0:37:44and buy some more bridesmaids dresses.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Because certain people are not happy.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53That's easy, wasn't it? White with burgundy leaves.
0:37:55 > 0:38:00I hope the wasps aren't going to bother them. That's the best part of £100.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04It cost more money than I anticipated, but it keeps Person 1 happy.
0:38:06 > 0:38:11I ain't stressing over any more dresses. The dresses are done.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- Move on now. - The wedding's just two days away.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17And it's time for this farmer to clean up his act.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21His thoughtful best man's booked him a manicure.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24I'm quite happy with my nails.
0:38:24 > 0:38:25I would have cut them myself.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30How bad can they be?
0:38:30 > 0:38:31Oh, my God!
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Have you done that on purpose to make them extra bad?
0:38:34 > 0:38:35No, honestly. I washed them.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Let me go and get the bleach then. That's awful!
0:38:41 > 0:38:43I ain't never getting my hands in there.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47- I can't believe this! - I need a bigger bowl.- I know.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53- I've never been washed like this before.- I hope it works.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Have you ever seen that film, Never Been Touched?
0:38:55 > 0:39:00- Yeah!- It's like these hands. - Never been cleaned!
0:39:00 > 0:39:03- There's no poo behind your nails, is there?- No. Not today.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Argh!
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Have you seen that? It's like canal water.
0:39:17 > 0:39:22Usually you only need one of these for both your hands. We're having one each hand for you.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25There you go.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28It's like bicarbonate of soda. I use this stuff to clean my flask.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30SHE LAUGHS
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- Oh, God!- I feel all tingly.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- You feel all tingly? What do you mean?- All over.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Because you don't have things like this done usually.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43- What do you think?- Amazing.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47I hope I don't get them dirty driving that Land Rover, on the steering wheel.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50You can put those on to go home, then!
0:39:51 > 0:39:56That's got to be the dirtiest water I've ever seen from a manicure.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00Do you want to see the front or back first?
0:40:00 > 0:40:03I want to see your palms.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07- Bloody hell!- This is where they've been soaked in the bleach.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10How long were your hands in bleach for?
0:40:12 > 0:40:14It's the day before the wedding.
0:40:14 > 0:40:20And Nicky's about to come face-to-face with the dress that Nathan's chosen for her.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23- When you're ready... - Yeah, I'm ready.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Unfortunately, so is her mother.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29If I go to the butcher's, you know I'm upset.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35I dread it.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36I do, really.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40It's going to be off to Paris. I mean it. I mean it.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42- What, today?- Yeah.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46- Her mind is already made up. - I'm not going to like it.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48She's going to look like a loo-roll holder.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07Oh. It's the best dress ever! It's stunning.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13That is absolutely stunning.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16Look at the tiara. Absolutely...
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Mum, crystal droplets!
0:41:19 > 0:41:22I love it.
0:41:22 > 0:41:23I love it.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31It just shows how much he's thinking of me, really.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35He's not just thinking, "Oh, that's what I would like for her."
0:41:35 > 0:41:39He's actually thinking, "What would Nicky like?
0:41:39 > 0:41:42"What would Nicky want?" I couldn't have chose better myself.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46I'm absolutely stunned by his decision. I really am.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48When I saw the dress...
0:41:48 > 0:41:50it was perfect.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53He just knows her, through and through.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56And he knows...
0:41:56 > 0:41:59He also knows me. He must do.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Because that was my dream dress.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06The groom's got one more romantic gesture for his bride.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Nathan's dropped this in for you.
0:42:09 > 0:42:10Did you know about this?
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Something old, something new...
0:42:26 > 0:42:30Oh, I can't believe that he's done this. Bless him. Look at that.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Don't you ever say he's not romantic again!
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Don't you ever!
0:42:35 > 0:42:37That's lovely, isn't it?
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Let's hope Nathan's choice of venue goes down as well.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46He's busy foraging for decoration.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50# How many kinds of sweet flowers grow
0:42:50 > 0:42:53# In an English country garden? #
0:42:53 > 0:42:57An egg? Oh, it stinks!
0:43:02 > 0:43:07Nathan brings his farmer's flair to the gentle art of floristry.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19Just seen you flower arranging.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Says you, playing in this sandpit.
0:43:21 > 0:43:26It's all hands on deck, but someone's always got to go and foul things up.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29The dog BLEEP in front of the urinal. It's got to be cleaned up.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32Nathan's keen for that job!
0:43:32 > 0:43:37After three weeks of hard graft, the barn is still nowhere near ready.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40I know it's not my role, but crack on. We've got to go.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44Go, go, go, go!
0:43:45 > 0:43:49His venue may have cost him nothing, but Nathan's had to fork out
0:43:49 > 0:43:52over four grand for every single knife, glass, table,
0:43:52 > 0:43:54chair and toilet,
0:43:54 > 0:43:58all the things that would usually be provided by a wedding venue.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01But it's all come together.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03From Nathan with love.
0:44:03 > 0:44:07I never normally go and do all these things.
0:44:07 > 0:44:09All this dress shopping and...
0:44:09 > 0:44:11all these - dare I say it - women things.
0:44:11 > 0:44:16I literally have come completely out of my comfort zone doing all these things like that.
0:44:16 > 0:44:19But I've only done it...
0:44:19 > 0:44:23I've done it basically for Nicky. And myself. To make a perfect day.
0:44:23 > 0:44:25I hope it will make a perfect day.
0:44:28 > 0:44:31I've done it because I love her. That's why.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40After weeks of planning, stressing and hard physical labour,
0:44:40 > 0:44:44the big day has finally arrived.
0:44:53 > 0:44:55Oh, my God! You're in red.
0:44:55 > 0:44:57I like it, though. I like the colour.
0:44:57 > 0:45:02- Did he pick everything?- Everything. The shoes, the dress, the necklace.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05- Everything. You're impressed, aren't you?- I am.
0:45:05 > 0:45:08You know, we had red. We had red.
0:45:08 > 0:45:13Nathan's even had his work truck specially resprayed to match.
0:45:14 > 0:45:19I do actually feel fine. I'm not feeling nervous at all.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23Once Nicky's seen all the surprises and everything,
0:45:23 > 0:45:26I'll feel a lot better. As long as I know that she's happy
0:45:26 > 0:45:30with everything that's gone on, that's the main thing.
0:45:30 > 0:45:32Hi!
0:45:32 > 0:45:33Morning!
0:45:35 > 0:45:36Flowers.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39That is for the little bridesmaid.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42Smile! Perfect.
0:45:44 > 0:45:45That's yours.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48- Did he pick the colours?- He did.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52And your favourites are lilies, apparently.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55Yeah. And they've got the diamante detail.
0:45:55 > 0:45:59- Thank you.- No problem. Good luck. - Thanks!
0:46:01 > 0:46:05- He has co-ordinated, hasn't he? - Yeah. What do you think of them?
0:46:05 > 0:46:06Nice.
0:46:20 > 0:46:23The farmer is off to get himself a wife.
0:46:28 > 0:46:32Nearly there. That's why we want the size 8 waist.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36You need a good pair of legs for a garter.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38- You have got a good pair of legs! - I bloody haven't.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42You look gorgeous!
0:46:46 > 0:46:47Wow!
0:46:47 > 0:46:49Very beautiful.
0:46:50 > 0:46:52Don't make me cry.
0:46:53 > 0:46:57And for the bridal party, a vintage Jag and matching campervan.
0:47:01 > 0:47:02Oh, my gosh!
0:47:02 > 0:47:04Gosh.
0:47:05 > 0:47:07- Thank you.- Just one small hitch -
0:47:07 > 0:47:11they've locked themselves out and something crucial in.
0:47:11 > 0:47:15I need my flowers. Is anyone going to get in the window?
0:47:15 > 0:47:17Come on. We'll hold it. You'll be safe.
0:47:17 > 0:47:19You're a big boy.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21Go in feet-first, darling.
0:47:21 > 0:47:25- Big man. Hold on to the window! - Mind your head.
0:47:29 > 0:47:31Don't panic, Mr Mainwaring!
0:47:31 > 0:47:33Where is she?
0:47:43 > 0:47:47She's not turning up, is she? She's seen the dress I've bought her!
0:47:51 > 0:47:55They're half an hour late, but the bridal bouquet's finally on board.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03I hope it doesn't jeopardise anything by me being late.
0:48:09 > 0:48:11Stone Manor Hotel.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18I didn't want to be married at a hotel.
0:48:21 > 0:48:24Oh, my God!
0:48:24 > 0:48:27That's what the groom's party arrived in.
0:48:28 > 0:48:31Nathan chose the theme around his Land Rover!
0:48:37 > 0:48:42Ladies and gentlemen, if you could all be upstanding for the entrance of the bridal party.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12- I, Nathan Richard Turvey... - Do take thee, Nicholla Jane Vyse.
0:49:12 > 0:49:16- ..do take thee, Nicholla Jane Vyse... - To be my lawful wedded wife.
0:49:16 > 0:49:18..to be my lawful wedded wife.
0:49:18 > 0:49:20I, Nicholla Jane Vyse...
0:49:20 > 0:49:23Do take thee, Nathan Richard Turvey.
0:49:23 > 0:49:25..do take thee, Nathan Richard Turvey...
0:49:25 > 0:49:29- To be my lawful wedded husband. - ..to be my lawful wedded husband.
0:49:29 > 0:49:30You have the rings, don't you?
0:49:41 > 0:49:44Now it gives me great pleasure to declare that you are husband and wife.
0:49:47 > 0:49:51- And, Nathan, there's a tradition here you may know of.- No.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55- Give him at a clue, Nicholla! - You may kiss the bride.- Oh, right.
0:50:02 > 0:50:04Mr and Mrs Turvey!
0:50:13 > 0:50:19And, with that, Nathan whisks his bride off to the reception venue he's worked so hard to create.
0:50:19 > 0:50:24The reception is going to be held at the Arboretum Farm.
0:50:24 > 0:50:27We're going to ask you, if possible, to follow the truck.
0:50:27 > 0:50:30Could we leave work at home for one day?
0:50:30 > 0:50:32That's what's at the back of my mind.
0:50:32 > 0:50:34But, then again,
0:50:34 > 0:50:37- it's not my wedding, is it? - No, duck, it's not.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47- You're my wife. Mrs Turvey.- I know.
0:50:47 > 0:50:50So, where are we going?
0:50:52 > 0:50:55There's only the barns round here.
0:50:56 > 0:50:57Nathan!
0:50:57 > 0:50:58Oh, look!
0:50:58 > 0:51:02Oh, my God, Nathan!
0:51:03 > 0:51:05It's beautiful!
0:51:05 > 0:51:07Oh, it's...beautiful.
0:51:14 > 0:51:17Nobody believed me, that you can turn this into a room.
0:51:17 > 0:51:20I won't look at your workplace the same again.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22Oh, Nath!
0:51:23 > 0:51:28Oh, it's beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
0:51:28 > 0:51:31It's beautiful. It really is.
0:51:33 > 0:51:38I can't believe you've done all this. It's absolutely stunning. And the wedding cake!
0:51:39 > 0:51:40They're beautiful.
0:51:44 > 0:51:46It's beautiful.
0:51:46 > 0:51:49Have you got any toilets? Leah!
0:51:49 > 0:51:51Hello.
0:51:51 > 0:51:54Have you just realised it's me?
0:51:54 > 0:51:55Hello!
0:51:58 > 0:51:59Where's the toilets?
0:51:59 > 0:52:03- You ain't going in the toilet in this.- I really need a wee.
0:52:03 > 0:52:07- You're having a laugh, ain't you? - No. I'm not having a laugh.
0:52:07 > 0:52:10- This is going to be dangerous. - I really need a wee!- Look left.
0:52:10 > 0:52:12Oh, no!
0:52:12 > 0:52:14I can't get in there!
0:52:17 > 0:52:20Are you meaning I've got to squat in a bush or something?
0:52:20 > 0:52:24- Go to the house if you want.- Can we ask him if we can use his toilet?
0:52:25 > 0:52:27The barn's gone down a storm with Nicky.
0:52:27 > 0:52:32But it's not what her mum's been dreaming about for the past 23 years.
0:52:32 > 0:52:35- Is there a cake? - Yes, of course there's a cake.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40Very nice.
0:52:40 > 0:52:42It's very nice.
0:52:59 > 0:53:03It's just everything I've wanted. I would never have said...
0:53:03 > 0:53:05"I want it in a barn."
0:53:05 > 0:53:09But that's no ordinary barn. The detail he's gone to is stunning.
0:53:09 > 0:53:1111 years ago...
0:53:11 > 0:53:16I would never have believed that I would be getting married in a cattleshed.
0:53:16 > 0:53:19I'm glad it's not the pigsty. That would stink!
0:53:23 > 0:53:25Dinner is going to be served.
0:53:30 > 0:53:31I hope everybody loves pork!
0:53:36 > 0:53:39But I have had some help.
0:53:39 > 0:53:42And the person who's helped me the most is my best man, Nick.
0:53:49 > 0:53:51He's a farmer. He likes to cut down trees, mow some lawn,
0:53:51 > 0:53:54pick-up dog BLEEP, put his hands up cows' bums.
0:53:54 > 0:53:59And for him to step out of it, I think he's done really well.
0:53:59 > 0:54:04I'm hoping he's done really well. Even the toilets. The toilets have got the best view ever.
0:54:04 > 0:54:08- You don't get that in Wetherspoons! - We've given everybody the wow.
0:54:08 > 0:54:11From a dirty old barn to something hopefully fairly special
0:54:11 > 0:54:16- and really appropriate for Nathan to have his wedding in. - If we could make a toast please...
0:54:16 > 0:54:17to me and Nicky.
0:54:19 > 0:54:20Sorted.
0:54:24 > 0:54:27Even the mother of the bride's had a change of heart.
0:54:27 > 0:54:30She doesn't need me any more.
0:54:30 > 0:54:32She's going to rely on Nathan.
0:54:36 > 0:54:39That's why I was jealous. Jealous, in a way,
0:54:39 > 0:54:43that he's going to be doing all the things that we've always done.
0:54:43 > 0:54:46That's how I really felt. I was handing her over.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48And it just broke my heart, really.
0:54:48 > 0:54:50But I've had my day. I've had my wedding.
0:54:50 > 0:54:52It wasn't my wedding.
0:54:52 > 0:54:57In fact, I'm so proud of him for making Nicky's day so special.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59I really am.
0:55:07 > 0:55:08So I expect now,
0:55:08 > 0:55:12years ahead of me, filled full of romance.
0:55:12 > 0:55:14Yeah.
0:55:15 > 0:55:16- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:55:19 > 0:55:22What do you think, Leah? You're wet.
0:55:23 > 0:55:27What do you think? Years full of romance?
0:55:27 > 0:55:31If you want to keep this Mrs Turvey happy, it will be.
0:55:35 > 0:55:39Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Nathan and Nicky Turvey.
0:56:02 > 0:56:04- Next time...- Rock'n'roll!
0:56:04 > 0:56:08Can music lover Howell rock his bride-to-be Becca's world?
0:56:08 > 0:56:10Oh, my God!
0:56:10 > 0:56:12I'm going to kill him.
0:56:13 > 0:56:17Glastonbury, welcome to South Wales. The tables named after bands.
0:56:17 > 0:56:19Tickets for invites.
0:56:19 > 0:56:21I just don't feel comfortable in a wedding dress.
0:56:21 > 0:56:24It's only rock'n'roll, but I like it.
0:56:26 > 0:56:29"Some really heavy downpours. A band of rain..."
0:56:29 > 0:56:31Not good.
