Five years of Don't Tell The Bride.

0:00:020:00:04

48 brave brides.

0:00:040:00:06

48 game on grooms.

0:00:080:00:10

Dozens of dress disasters.

0:00:100:00:13

-Don't panic.

-And one near miss.

0:00:130:00:16

Please, just get on the plane.

0:00:160:00:18

I'm not coming. Game over.

0:00:180:00:22

Now we're back for a whole new roller-coaster ride...

0:00:220:00:26

As 12 more blushing brides leave the biggest day of their lives...

0:00:260:00:32

Oh, my God.

0:00:320:00:33

..In the hands of the men they love.

0:00:330:00:36

The grooms get three weeks...

0:00:360:00:37

No way!

0:00:370:00:39

And £12,000...

0:00:390:00:40

-12 Gs, man.

-Oh, my God.

-Are you ready?

-Well ready, mate.

0:00:400:00:44

And their brides get no say in how it's spent.

0:00:440:00:49

-I don't want to do this.

-So saddle up for tears...

0:00:490:00:53

-Tantrums...

-Why the hell are we at Thorpe Park on my wedding day?

0:00:530:00:57

And total meltdowns.

0:00:570:01:00

I can't plan the wedding for her. I can't. I can't do anything.

0:01:010:01:04

Tonight, David loves Lucy so much,

0:01:040:01:07

he's going to give her the wedding he thinks she wants.

0:01:070:01:11

Lucy's not here, so I can do it.

0:01:110:01:13

She's smart.

0:01:130:01:15

I like poetry. I like reading.

0:01:150:01:17

But to impress his brainy bride-to-be,

0:01:170:01:19

he's going to have to match her intelligence.

0:01:190:01:22

I know even less than I thought I knew.

0:01:220:01:24

Will this serial blagger...

0:01:240:01:26

I've got so many IOUs, it's crazy.

0:01:260:01:29

-..Be able to win her over...

-I just want my traditional English wedding dress.

0:01:290:01:33

-..By taking on her favourite love story...

-Pride And Prejudice.

0:01:330:01:37

-It's hard to pull off a theme.

-Like...Regency.

0:01:370:01:40

It ends up looking cheap.

0:01:400:01:41

..And turning it into reality?

0:01:410:01:43

I have no clue.

0:01:430:01:45

-Can David from Derby...

-I'm trying to create a dream.

0:01:450:01:49

..transform himself into Mr Darcy?

0:01:490:01:53

They weren't expecting that. Not in a million years.

0:01:530:01:57

Today, 23-year-old Lucy Maxwell

0:02:130:02:16

is packing to move out of the home in Derby

0:02:160:02:19

that she shares with 31-year-old nurse David Nelson.

0:02:190:02:22

Meeting two years ago on holiday,

0:02:280:02:30

confident charmer David

0:02:300:02:32

fell for brainy law student Lucy in a big way.

0:02:320:02:35

Something about her just grabbed me. Something about her literally took my breath away.

0:02:350:02:40

As we got closer, I just realised he was the one for me.

0:02:400:02:43

We complemented each other perfectly.

0:02:430:02:46

David's a nurse, and specialises in healing wounds.

0:02:490:02:52

It's his job to convince patients to try a less than conventional type of treatment.

0:02:520:02:58

Maggots. We love maggots.

0:02:580:03:00

We use maggots. If it's right for the patient, it's absolutely great.

0:03:000:03:04

And while David's up to his eyes in maggots...

0:03:040:03:07

..Lucy prefers being a good old-fashioned bookworm.

0:03:090:03:13

I like poetry, I like reading.

0:03:130:03:15

I like writing.

0:03:150:03:18

That's a sort of side to me that David finds quite funny.

0:03:180:03:22

And charmer David was so keen to impress his brainy girlfriend

0:03:220:03:25

that he totally blagged his way

0:03:250:03:27

through a date she would never forget.

0:03:270:03:31

When I first met David, I was telling him how I loved the way

0:03:310:03:34

period dramas were set in real homes.

0:03:340:03:37

He seemed really enthusiastic about it and made me believe

0:03:370:03:40

it was something he was interested in as well.

0:03:400:03:43

So he organised for us to see one.

0:03:430:03:45

He was looking around going "Yeah, nice architecture", and using these phrases he'd got off Wikipedia.

0:03:450:03:51

He was just trying to impress me!

0:03:510:03:53

I thought "It's the beginning of a relationship",

0:03:530:03:56

and I was just trying to show an interest in you.

0:03:560:03:59

So I went to these places.

0:03:590:04:00

How come we've never been back again?

0:04:000:04:03

Well...

0:04:030:04:05

I just...

0:04:050:04:06

He'd been rumbled faking an interest,

0:04:060:04:09

but won her over with his cheeky charm instead.

0:04:090:04:12

You're going to get us in trouble.

0:04:120:04:14

A year after meeting, Lucy moved in with David,

0:04:160:04:19

bringing all of her favourite books with her.

0:04:190:04:22

My favourites are...

0:04:220:04:24

Pride And Prejudice... I like all Jane Austen's books. It's really geeky.

0:04:240:04:28

You're there, and she'll be reading one of them period books. You can see her lost in her own world.

0:04:280:04:33

And when she finishes, she'll look at me

0:04:330:04:35

like I'm Mr Darcy, and she'll realise I'm just David, David in Derby.

0:04:350:04:40

You sort of see the smile, then the reality, and it's like, "What's for dinner?"

0:04:400:04:44

What have you got against Mr Darcy?

0:04:440:04:47

-I don't know, I don't get it.

-No, I love you.

0:04:470:04:49

Can you be jealous of him?

0:04:490:04:51

He is fictional. Darcy's fictional? Just making sure.

0:04:510:04:54

Despite knowing nothing about Pride And Prejudice,

0:04:540:04:58

David's plan is to base the wedding around Jane Austen's classic love story.

0:04:580:05:03

It's the perfect opportunity to prove he can engage

0:05:030:05:06

with her love of literature,

0:05:060:05:07

but without the bluffing.

0:05:070:05:09

I'm looking to do something totally different.

0:05:090:05:12

I want people to look back and go,

0:05:120:05:14

"Do you remember that wedding?

0:05:140:05:16

"That was crazy. Can you believe he did...? That was mad.

0:05:160:05:19

""Did you see Lucy's face?", "Yeah"."

0:05:190:05:21

But Lucy dreams of something a bit more 21st century traditional

0:05:210:05:25

despite money being extremely tight,

0:05:250:05:27

with the pair living on student loans and a nurse's salary.

0:05:270:05:31

I've always wanted that big old church, a big formal dinner

0:05:310:05:35

and a big after party.

0:05:350:05:38

That's what you always dream about.

0:05:380:05:39

If I make an idiot out of myself, but it's worked out all right,

0:05:390:05:43

it's worth it. I've got to give a bit of myself away to get there.

0:05:430:05:46

It's time for the couple to say goodbye.

0:05:490:05:52

The next time they see each other will be on their wedding day.

0:05:520:05:55

# I don't want to see you hurting

0:05:550:06:00

# Just hold on

0:06:000:06:03

# Just hold on to me

0:06:030:06:06

# I don't want to see you crying

0:06:060:06:12

# So hold on

0:06:120:06:14

# So hold on to me

0:06:140:06:19

# To me... #

0:06:190:06:21

80 miles away, near Liverpool, Lucy arrives at her mum's house.

0:06:210:06:26

-She's moving back in with her mum...

-Hi, Mum.

-Lucy!

0:06:260:06:30

..Younger sister and brothers.

0:06:300:06:34

That's a nice welcome home.

0:06:340:06:36

It's hard saying goodbye for three weeks

0:06:360:06:38

and not knowing what he's going to be getting up to,

0:06:380:06:41

but I'm just going to trust that everything's going to be OK.

0:06:410:06:45

Back in Derby, best man Damian moves in.

0:06:460:06:49

He's David's cousin

0:06:490:06:50

and the duo have been best mates since the age of four.

0:06:500:06:54

She gave me the look as she was leaving.

0:06:560:06:58

She was like, "I know you'll do good."

0:06:580:07:00

'He is a lovely guy.'

0:07:030:07:05

Him and Dave just get along so well...

0:07:050:07:07

but in a worrying sense.

0:07:070:07:10

-Cheers, cuz.

-All the best.

-All the best.

0:07:100:07:14

And she should be worried. She's left two lads in an empty house

0:07:140:07:17

with nothing else to entertain themselves but a DVD player -

0:07:170:07:21

and we all know what lads like to watch on a quiet night in.

0:07:210:07:25

I don't know if I can press play.

0:07:250:07:27

We should really close the curtains.

0:07:270:07:29

DAVID LAUGHS

0:07:290:07:32

Oh, whoa.

0:07:320:07:34

Maybe not quite the film Damian was expecting...

0:07:360:07:40

..but as David wants this as his wedding theme,

0:07:420:07:45

there's no room for bluffing, unlike his first date.

0:07:450:07:48

So they must endure the five hours of research.

0:07:480:07:52

In my wildest dreams,

0:07:520:07:54

I never thought me and you'd be sitting here, watching Darcy.

0:07:540:07:58

We might learn something.

0:07:580:08:00

Pride And Prejudice, Lucy's favourite love story,

0:08:000:08:04

-where wise and witty...

-Miss Bennet.

0:08:040:08:06

..who at first claims she may never marry,

0:08:060:08:08

finally falls for the handsome, wealthy and aloof...

0:08:080:08:11

Mr Darcy!

0:08:110:08:13

..who eventually sweeps her off her feet.

0:08:130:08:15

They fall in love and get married, all set in the Regency period,

0:08:150:08:20

a time when women wore bonnets and men wore breeches.

0:08:200:08:24

They travelled by horse, lived in stately homes

0:08:240:08:27

and enjoyed a good night out.

0:08:270:08:29

So it's a classic love story,

0:08:310:08:33

which ends in a fairy-tale wedding,

0:08:330:08:35

exactly what David wants for his Lucy.

0:08:350:08:38

It's a hell of a theme.

0:08:390:08:41

It is, man.

0:08:410:08:42

Did you see that?

0:08:450:08:47

We should go in on horses.

0:08:470:08:48

Them two guys, that could be me and you.

0:08:480:08:51

Oh, no, I've just seen Darcy dancing.

0:08:520:08:55

Oh, never...

0:08:550:08:57

I have no clue about this, do I?

0:08:570:08:59

I thought they were like...

0:08:590:09:01

no, they're doing, like, Ring A Ring O' Roses.

0:09:010:09:04

Man...

0:09:040:09:05

Oh, rah!

0:09:050:09:07

I know even less than I thought I knew

0:09:090:09:12

and that's even more scary.

0:09:120:09:14

Not only has David got to plan the wedding,

0:09:140:09:16

but he wants the Regency theme he knows nothing about,

0:09:160:09:19

and there's no bluffing his way out of this one

0:09:190:09:23

if he's to pull off a fairy-tale wedding

0:09:230:09:26

that surpasses even Lucy's dreams.

0:09:260:09:28

And desperate to impress her, he's found the perfect solution,

0:09:360:09:40

the actual location where Pride And Prejudice was filmed, Sudbury Hall.

0:09:400:09:44

It's practically on David's doorstep,

0:09:440:09:48

and available for weddings.

0:09:480:09:50

This groom may be no expert when it comes to Regency history,

0:09:500:09:55

but how could he go wrong when it's all there for the taking?

0:09:550:09:58

Some serious Darcy dizzle.

0:09:580:09:59

This could work.

0:09:590:10:01

Set in the early 1800s,

0:10:050:10:07

Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice typifies the British Regency period,

0:10:070:10:12

and Sudbury Hall has been kept in that era.

0:10:120:10:15

It's about as Darcy as David could get.

0:10:150:10:17

When Pride And Prejudice was being filmed here,

0:10:180:10:21

this was Mr Darcy's study.

0:10:210:10:24

Well, if it's good enough for Darcy, it's good enough for David.

0:10:240:10:27

-So, this is the long gallery.

-Whoa!

0:10:290:10:33

This is absolutely gorgeous.

0:10:330:10:36

If you look at the ladies in their gowns,

0:10:360:10:38

when the weather was inclement, they would not go outside in their gowns.

0:10:380:10:42

This is where they would take their exercise.

0:10:420:10:45

If the weather's not good and you can't do much photography outside,

0:10:480:10:52

we would bring you up to the long gallery.

0:10:520:10:55

We don't bring the whole wedding party, we just bring the immediate close wedding party, bridesmaids.

0:10:550:11:01

-Are you going to be best man, sir?

-I am indeed.

-Lovely!

0:11:010:11:04

Lucy, my fiancee, she would absolutely adore this place.

0:11:040:11:10

The total cost of a wedding in the Regency setting of Sudbury Hall

0:11:100:11:14

would blow more than the budget - 20 grand, in fact,

0:11:140:11:18

but he could take a risk and just book the ceremony

0:11:180:11:21

for a bargain £850

0:11:210:11:24

with a style so Regency, he wouldn't even break into a sweat.

0:11:240:11:28

This is the Wedding Room, licensed for civil marriages.

0:11:280:11:31

You can have 100 people here. The front, in the bay window, we put a registration table.

0:11:310:11:36

It is amazing. It's definitely got that Darcy dizzle.

0:11:360:11:39

It's got the lot, hasn't it? Looking at the inside, it's got literally everything we want.

0:11:390:11:44

But with David already faking his way through the theme,

0:11:440:11:49

he needs to keep things simple

0:11:490:11:50

by choosing just one venue for the whole day.

0:11:500:11:53

Reluctantly, he decides to look elsewhere.

0:11:530:11:56

80 miles away, Lucy's singing off a different hymn sheet.

0:12:000:12:04

Since she was a little girl, Lucy's had her heart set

0:12:040:12:07

on somewhere special for her wedding day,

0:12:070:12:10

the family's parish church in Knowsley, near Liverpool.

0:12:100:12:14

It's a gorgeous church, isn't it?

0:12:140:12:16

This is why I like it so much.

0:12:160:12:18

It's a beautiful church.

0:12:180:12:19

Imagine walking down this huge aisle.

0:12:190:12:22

Even before I met David, I was thinking, you know,

0:12:220:12:26

"It would be lovely to have a ceremony here."

0:12:260:12:28

Whichever aisle David decides on,

0:12:280:12:31

it's Lucy's mum who'll be walking her down it.

0:12:310:12:34

My dad passed away when I was younger, when I was ten

0:12:340:12:38

and my mum, sort of, single-handedly raised me,

0:12:380:12:42

my brothers and my sister.

0:12:420:12:44

I feel the loss of my dad, but, you know,

0:12:440:12:48

I'm so grateful to have my mum here and looking after us.

0:12:480:12:52

So it should hopefully be something really positive on the day to smile about.

0:12:520:12:58

And difficult times have made Lucy realise

0:12:580:13:01

where her priorities lie when it comes to her wedding.

0:13:010:13:04

The actual ceremony is the most important bit.

0:13:040:13:08

I think you only realise that later on,

0:13:090:13:12

when you realise you've got no control over anything.

0:13:120:13:15

Sadly, a church just isn't on David's checklist,

0:13:180:13:22

and he continues on his Regency roll.

0:13:220:13:25

Next in line is Sandon Hall,

0:13:250:13:28

a Victorian manor house that can hold the ceremony and the reception.

0:13:280:13:34

It may not be Lucy's church,

0:13:340:13:36

it's definitely not Darcy's Sudbury Hall,

0:13:360:13:39

but it's all under one roof, an easy option

0:13:390:13:42

and David's already getting carried away.

0:13:420:13:45

Got the carriage, Lucy's in it, she's coming along...

0:13:450:13:48

She's going to be blown away.

0:13:480:13:50

Comes through... As you go over the hill, pow!

0:13:500:13:53

The place is available on the day David wants to marry.

0:13:560:13:59

-I'll just show you the ceremony room first.

-OK.

0:14:030:14:06

-If you'd like to go through.

-Thank you.

0:14:060:14:10

-You have the registrar's table in that bay window.

-Yeah.

0:14:100:14:14

-The first 80 guests are in a semi-circle.

-Yeah.

0:14:140:14:18

Then there's an overflow room here

0:14:180:14:20

-where the other 40 or so...

-Can congregate.

0:14:200:14:22

Just looking at this, I absolutely love it

0:14:220:14:24

and the books as well, it's gorgeous.

0:14:240:14:27

She'd like that.

0:14:270:14:29

And at this late notice,

0:14:290:14:31

he can have the full package including catering for £3,500.

0:14:310:14:36

And David has spotted another chance for a big entrance.

0:14:360:14:39

From up here, she'll look down and see all the work we've done.

0:14:390:14:44

She'll think we've killed it.

0:14:440:14:45

She might marry me again.

0:14:450:14:47

She might marry me again!

0:14:470:14:48

I get two takes.

0:14:480:14:49

Sudbury pulls on the heartstrings, but this is, like...

0:14:490:14:52

it's sort of got it all.

0:14:520:14:54

As a kid, remember how we used to run along and slide on our knees?

0:14:540:14:58

Imagine in here.

0:14:580:14:59

We would catch distance. Check the slide. Check the slide.

0:14:590:15:03

We could do that here.

0:15:040:15:05

I reckon we could do it.

0:15:050:15:07

Just flick your foot and bend as you go round the corner!

0:15:070:15:10

We could kill the slide.

0:15:110:15:13

Researched up to the hilt, David can finally put his plans into action

0:15:130:15:18

and arrange the Regency wedding only Mr Darcy could dream of.

0:15:180:15:22

It's got the lot. It's got the lot.

0:15:220:15:24

We've got the grounds.

0:15:240:15:26

We've got the venue. Looks absolutely great.

0:15:260:15:29

Then just blow her mind in that room.

0:15:290:15:32

We've absolutely got it. Boy, man, this needs to work.

0:15:320:15:35

We've still got a lot of work to do. If we think about it,

0:15:350:15:38

the reason we like that is because we can put our own touch on it.

0:15:380:15:42

We can make it how we want.

0:15:420:15:43

So I'm willing just to sign up and get it done.

0:15:430:15:46

I'm all in. I love it. I absolutely love this place. I really do.

0:15:500:15:53

I could do everything here that I want.

0:15:530:15:56

My gut's telling me this is where it's meant to be. This is it.

0:15:560:16:00

David's had the chance to have the actual location

0:16:000:16:03

where Lucy's beloved Pride And Prejudice was filmed.

0:16:030:16:06

But instead, he decides to blag it by choosing the easier option

0:16:060:16:11

of having it all under one roof.

0:16:110:16:13

Has he made a mistake

0:16:130:16:14

by turning his back on the real deal of Sudbury Hall?

0:16:140:16:18

A week in, Lucy may not be able to plan her wedding,

0:16:240:16:27

but she can at least dream, starting with her dress.

0:16:270:16:30

She's brought her friends and family along for some moral support.

0:16:340:16:38

I think my ideal is sort of like lace.

0:16:410:16:43

-It's the colour as well, because I prefer white.

-Yeah.

0:16:450:16:48

But I think I do like the lace better.

0:16:500:16:52

-How about something like this?

-That's exactly what I described.

0:16:520:16:56

It's got the lace. It's still got a bit of bling as well.

0:16:560:17:01

I love the back of that.

0:17:010:17:03

When it comes to David's decision making,

0:17:030:17:06

her friends have expectations, just very low ones.

0:17:060:17:10

I just hope to God

0:17:100:17:11

that he kind of gets something a bit classier than...

0:17:110:17:16

I don't know,

0:17:160:17:18

than a big, low-cut dress.

0:17:180:17:20

You never know, he might surprise her. He might.

0:17:200:17:24

I hope so!

0:17:240:17:26

But David's one step ahead,

0:17:280:17:30

determined to match the bridal gown to his Pride And Prejudice theme.

0:17:300:17:34

I definitely would like, preferably, 100%, I want an empire line.

0:17:340:17:37

That's what I'm looking for.

0:17:370:17:39

The empire line, a high-waisted dress gathered just under the bust,

0:17:390:17:43

was the height of fashion for Regency women.

0:17:430:17:46

It fits in with the theme. I want her to dress that way.

0:17:460:17:49

Sir, that is very good of you.

0:17:490:17:53

-So that'd be my first choice.

-She'd like that as well?

-I have no clue.

0:17:530:17:56

-That, we don't know.

-That, we don't know.

0:17:560:18:00

We do know. Lucy's mind's made up.

0:18:010:18:04

She loves lacy, modern and figure-hugging.

0:18:040:18:07

It's absolutely beautiful.

0:18:070:18:09

-Everything about it's gorgeous.

-Stunning, isn't it?

0:18:090:18:12

It's everything you've always said you wanted.

0:18:120:18:15

First dress. Bang, it's done.

0:18:150:18:18

In the bag!

0:18:180:18:19

Bit...worried now

0:18:190:18:21

because I don't think he's going to get anything like this.

0:18:210:18:25

He might think he's making her happy, think, "Lucy's going to love this,"

0:18:250:18:29

and then it's not the right one.

0:18:290:18:31

She's my baby...

0:18:310:18:32

and If it makes her unhappy...

0:18:320:18:34

no, that's it.

0:18:340:18:36

It's not just his bride he has to keep happy.

0:18:360:18:39

-That is probably a modern twist on an impala.

-Woah.

0:18:390:18:42

That's amazing.

0:18:420:18:44

That is ABSOLUTELY amazing.

0:18:460:18:49

David's got his work cut out,

0:18:490:18:51

as the bridal gown is the one thing he cannot afford to fake.

0:18:510:18:55

I really do like that.

0:18:590:19:01

That is gorgeous.

0:19:010:19:02

Oh, man!

0:19:020:19:04

That is ABSOLUTELY stunning.

0:19:050:19:09

It's like I'm in a cake shop

0:19:120:19:14

and there's like all these Victoria sandwiches,

0:19:140:19:16

and I could only have one,

0:19:160:19:19

but I haven't tasted them yet?!

0:19:190:19:21

-How do you choose it?!

-How do you choose it before you've tasted it?!

0:19:230:19:26

I just want my traditional English wedding dress.

0:19:260:19:29

I just hope he doesn't try and be too different

0:19:290:19:33

when it's actually just a normal wedding dress that I want!

0:19:330:19:37

I think the panic button is starting to appear.

0:19:370:19:41

And that's exactly what David's picked,

0:19:410:19:44

except this one's going to have the Regency Rizzle -

0:19:440:19:48

a ribbon to create that empire line, a high-necked shrug,

0:19:480:19:52

a pair of gloves and a tiara to top it off.

0:19:520:19:55

I like it. I like it.

0:19:550:19:58

Well, David may like it - it's cost well over a grand,

0:19:580:20:02

but will Lucy go along with his hotchpotch Pride And Prejudice creation?

0:20:020:20:06

Right now, I'm standing there with not a clue in my head

0:20:060:20:10

whether she'll go, "That is the dress I would have picked," or,

0:20:100:20:13

"That is absolutely minging - what have you done?"

0:20:130:20:16

It's been over a week since Lucy moved out

0:20:180:20:22

and David has blown almost six grand of his budget

0:20:220:20:25

on the venue, catering, registrars and the dress.

0:20:250:20:29

But if his Regency theme is going to work,

0:20:320:20:35

David will need more than just Lucy in period dress.

0:20:350:20:38

He needs his family onside, too.

0:20:380:20:40

Well, strictly speaking, he needs a miracle.

0:20:400:20:43

-Hello! Hey, Mama.

-Hello, baby...

0:20:430:20:46

But for now, getting the family onside will do.

0:20:460:20:49

Family! Hello...

0:20:490:20:50

His mum has gathered some of the Nelson clan together...

0:20:500:20:54

David's first attempt at selling his 19th century English vision

0:20:540:20:58

is to his 21st century Jamaican family.

0:20:580:21:02

I've asked everybody here today to let you know about my plans

0:21:020:21:06

for the wedding.

0:21:060:21:08

Now, I wanted to do a bit of a theme to it, and the theme is...

0:21:080:21:11

Pride And Prejudice.

0:21:110:21:13

Like, Regency...?

0:21:140:21:16

So, that's the sort of theme that I'm going with.

0:21:170:21:22

I'm going to be maybe, sort of, trying to get you to dress up into, sort of, the theme as well.

0:21:220:21:27

You know like in the day they had, maybe, bonnets, shawls, fans...

0:21:270:21:32

that's sort of my theme.

0:21:320:21:33

Never thought for one moment, you would, you know...

0:21:330:21:36

Yeah. It was literally...

0:21:360:21:38

-Sure you two guys can pull it off?

-Easy.

0:21:380:21:40

That's my boy! That's my boy! I like that!

0:21:400:21:43

Got my back. I like that.

0:21:430:21:46

-So, yeah...

-I can't wait now. Ha-ha!

0:21:460:21:49

'They weren't expecting that.'

0:21:490:21:50

Not in a million years!

0:21:500:21:53

I can tell you now, looking at them they were thinking,

0:21:530:21:55

"Wedding, church, reception."

0:21:550:21:58

They know me, I've always been a bit, "Whey!" something different,

0:21:580:22:01

that's what's kicking, something different.

0:22:010:22:04

It's a hard theme, isn't it? I think so, anyway.

0:22:040:22:08

You know, it should have been something simple.

0:22:080:22:11

Oh, gosh, I'm trying to get my mind round it.

0:22:110:22:14

Three weeks planning a wedding - whoops,

0:22:140:22:16

but he seems relaxed. I'm looking at his face and I'm thinking,

0:22:160:22:20

"David, you seem so relaxed."

0:22:200:22:22

He should be sweating a little bit more.

0:22:220:22:25

Oh, dear. I am - for him!

0:22:250:22:27

Maybe he would be sweating

0:22:270:22:30

if he knew the woman he wants to impress

0:22:300:22:32

has been keeping a scrapbook with her own wedding plans,

0:22:320:22:36

which couldn't be further from the Regency-themed shenanigans that David's creating.

0:22:360:22:40

Obviously I want a really traditional wedding,

0:22:400:22:43

sort of like, traditional theme.

0:22:430:22:45

-David, in his traditional dress.

-Ooh!

0:22:450:22:48

I would like top hats,

0:22:480:22:50

but I think they look quite smart without the top hats.

0:22:500:22:53

He could go down his own route.

0:22:530:22:55

I wouldn't mind him putting his own style on it.

0:22:550:23:00

Make a theme or something?

0:23:000:23:01

Mmm... That would be my worst nightmare - a theme.

0:23:010:23:04

I don't think themes suit a wedding.

0:23:040:23:07

Some people could pull it off, if they had the, sort of...

0:23:070:23:10

creativity and the money to do it,

0:23:100:23:12

but if you're sort of on a budget,

0:23:120:23:14

I think it's really hard to pull off a theme.

0:23:140:23:17

It would just end up looking cheap.

0:23:170:23:19

Blissfully unaware

0:23:200:23:22

and adamant that he can kit out their big day in total Regency regalia,

0:23:220:23:27

David's found a theatrical costume hire

0:23:270:23:29

that might be able to help him out.

0:23:290:23:32

-You're not nervous or stressed or anything like that, are you?

-No!

0:23:320:23:36

-Just trying to get it all sorted.

-Yes.

-Not nervous.

0:23:360:23:38

-Are you certain of the...

-Feel the pressure.

0:23:380:23:40

..of the, er...the things you've chosen?

0:23:400:23:44

No, I'm definitely not certain on anything I've chosen.

0:23:440:23:47

But you're sleeping at night?

0:23:470:23:49

-No, I'm not sleeping at night!

-Ha-ha-ha!

0:23:490:23:52

Oh! These are nice as well, aren't they?

0:23:550:23:58

These are nice.

0:23:580:23:59

THEY ALL LAUGH

0:23:590:24:01

-Oh, I'm... I've...

-Ha-ha-ha!

0:24:010:24:04

I've, er, what's the word?

0:24:040:24:06

-Scored.

-Scored!

0:24:060:24:07

At my age, it's quite a thrill!

0:24:090:24:10

Well, if Lucy loathes his theme,

0:24:120:24:14

David's bagged himself a back-up ride!

0:24:140:24:17

Can I take you on a little tour to show the other ladies? Come with me.

0:24:170:24:20

I'm off. See you later, cuz.

0:24:200:24:22

If I'm not back in one week and three days, you know where I've been.

0:24:220:24:27

When it comes to the bridesmaids, even they aren't safe

0:24:270:24:29

from the Darcy dizzling.

0:24:290:24:32

-That's the style, the high-waisted style, the little sleeve.

-Yeah.

0:24:320:24:35

-I think we should be able to accommodate.

-Thank you very much.

0:24:350:24:39

There's loads of reasons why Lucy may not like this...

0:24:390:24:42

LADIES LAUGH There's a lot!

0:24:420:24:43

There's a lotta, lotta reasons why Lucy may not like this, but, er...

0:24:430:24:47

We'll see in one week and two days, won't we?

0:24:470:24:49

But determined to stick with the theme,

0:24:490:24:52

David continues with his search.

0:24:520:24:54

Let's just hope his bride has no prejudice.

0:24:540:24:58

It's horses for courses, as the lads head to some stables,

0:25:010:25:06

but this is where they could come a little unstuck in their planning.

0:25:060:25:10

since neither of them have ever actually ridden.

0:25:100:25:12

THEY LAUGH

0:25:120:25:14

Mine looks bigger than Damian's.

0:25:160:25:18

Nice and gently. Lovely.

0:25:180:25:20

But if David is to convince Lucy that he could be Mr Darcy...

0:25:200:25:25

..then he needs to stop horsing around!

0:25:270:25:30

But best man Damian's having a bit of a mare.

0:25:330:25:36

-Ah-ha!

-Struggling there, cuz.

-Those jeans.

0:25:360:25:39

-Those jeans, do they kill you?

-They're tight.

0:25:390:25:42

-My bum hurts still.

-I know, man. I've got, like, some cheek issues.

0:25:440:25:48

Street cred's gone. I'm not going back to Cambridge. It's all over.

0:25:480:25:52

My boys won't like me any more. They saw me in a costume.

0:25:520:25:54

I'm just going to have to start again in Derby or something.

0:25:540:25:57

HORSE NEIGHS

0:25:590:26:00

From one uncomfortable situation to another...

0:26:000:26:05

as Darcy also danced...

0:26:050:26:08

and David's determined to have some of that at his wedding.

0:26:080:26:11

The only thing is, they danced in groups,

0:26:110:26:14

but he's managed to rope in some mates to form his own Darcy dance troupe.

0:26:140:26:19

I'd like all the gentlemen on this side

0:26:190:26:22

and all the ladies standing on this side.

0:26:220:26:25

But they're a lady short -

0:26:250:26:26

step up usher Rich!

0:26:260:26:30

SONG: DO THE HUSTLE by Van McCoy

0:26:300:26:32

Oh, boy, I've got so many IOUs, it is crazy.

0:26:370:26:40

A regency routine - well, that's one way to put Lucy off.

0:26:440:26:49

-Are you with me, cuz?

-No.

-All right.

0:26:490:26:51

Hey! Let's get on it!

0:26:530:26:54

-He's doing it again!

-Things are getting worse and worse!

0:26:590:27:01

Not good.

0:27:010:27:03

I wouldn't like to do this in front of 120 people, that's all I've got to say.

0:27:030:27:06

I've been there and he repays me by making me dance like...

0:27:080:27:11

He does owe me. He owes all of us.

0:27:110:27:14

He owes us a lot.

0:27:140:27:15

I'm going to get Lucy up in this as well

0:27:150:27:17

and we'll be doing it wrong and having a laugh, and that's part of the fun. So...

0:27:170:27:21

we're getting it, not a problem, but I'll need all you guys...

0:27:210:27:24

to please help on the day. How many more people?

0:27:240:27:27

Who else can we drag in? Anybody volunteering somebody?

0:27:270:27:30

'I'm glad Lucy's not here right now.'

0:27:310:27:33

This is probably the only point I am

0:27:330:27:36

cos this is when she'd tell me to slow down and tell me not to do it

0:27:360:27:39

and I'd probably be quite gutted, but Lucy's not here, so I can do it.

0:27:390:27:43

I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it. I've got to believe.

0:27:430:27:46

There's nobody on my shoulder who normally goes,

0:27:460:27:48

"I know you're positive, I know you think you can do everything,

0:27:480:27:52

"but just slow down, let's be realistic."

0:27:520:27:54

There's no reality here, I'm trying to create a dream

0:27:540:27:57

and in a dream there's no reality so I've got to keep going.

0:27:570:27:59

It's the end of the second week,

0:27:590:28:02

and time for the Pride And Prejudice wedding plans to be put on hold.

0:28:020:28:07

It's a chance for the lads to break from Regency tradition

0:28:070:28:11

and embark on the stag do.

0:28:110:28:13

I don't really like water, can't really swim.

0:28:130:28:16

So, probably going whitewater rafting wasn't the best idea.

0:28:160:28:20

But that's what we do.

0:28:200:28:21

We do stupid things and see what happens.

0:28:210:28:23

That is definitely...

0:28:260:28:29

..a lot worse when you see it in person.

0:28:300:28:32

We've had a day off. Ain't doing no wedding planning,

0:28:500:28:53

not ringing nobody - this is where I'm meant to be.

0:28:530:28:56

As the boys finish one hair-raising experience,

0:28:560:28:59

the girls begin another, with a night out in Liverpool.

0:28:590:29:03

Lucy has an announcement to make.

0:29:030:29:07

But as she's already a little worse for wear,

0:29:070:29:09

she's going to try sign language.

0:29:090:29:11

MUSIC: "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" by Beyonce

0:29:110:29:14

I think she's saying, "He put a ring on it".

0:29:140:29:18

# If you liked it then you should've put a ring on it

0:29:200:29:22

# If you liked it then you should've put a ring on it

0:29:220:29:25

# Don't be mad once you see that he want it

0:29:250:29:27

# If you liked it then you should've put a ring on it... #

0:29:270:29:30

The hen and stag dos are two very different affairs.

0:29:350:29:39

As the girls get mashed in Liverpool, the boys,

0:29:390:29:42

well, they get mashed in Chester.

0:29:420:29:45

-We always knew this was crunch week.

-Yeah.

0:29:510:29:53

But all I can do, like I've done the whole way, is trust my gut -

0:29:530:29:57

trust my gut and trust my cuz!

0:29:570:29:59

-What are you bringing me into this for, man?

-Man, got me this far.

0:29:590:30:03

We never quit anything in our lives, man.

0:30:030:30:07

We didn't hit great grades from school,

0:30:070:30:09

thinking we were going nowhere. Sod them, man.

0:30:090:30:12

-Apart from my brother.

-Live.

-Live, man.

0:30:120:30:16

Five days to go, and David's rattling through the budget,

0:30:190:30:22

throwing almost £1,500 at the wedding rings...

0:30:220:30:27

I haven't a clue. Haven't a clue!

0:30:270:30:29

Haven't a clue. I literally don't have a clue.

0:30:290:30:32

..and the booze for the evening reception.

0:30:340:30:37

We've got liquor - hard liquor.

0:30:400:30:43

But if he's to pull off the Pride And Prejudice theme,

0:30:430:30:47

completely proving he's done his research properly,

0:30:470:30:49

then he needs to kit out the bridesmaids.

0:30:490:30:53

-Hey, how are you doing?

-Hi!

0:30:530:30:55

Bridesmaids Claire, Laura and Kinessa

0:30:550:30:58

have been summoned for their dress fitting.

0:30:580:31:00

There's a strong chance they weren't expecting

0:31:000:31:03

to visit a costume hire shop.

0:31:030:31:05

But can David convince them that going frilly is a good idea?

0:31:050:31:09

Oh, my...!

0:31:090:31:12

We're actually doing a theme to the wedding.

0:31:120:31:15

As you gathered.

0:31:150:31:16

And the theme... What do we call it? We call it...

0:31:160:31:20

-Darcy Dizzle.

-Darcy Dizzle!

0:31:200:31:23

So, we are doing Pride And Prejudice.

0:31:230:31:26

Oh, wow!

0:31:260:31:28

So, these are the sort of things.

0:31:300:31:33

Now, we're going to ask you to try them on.

0:31:330:31:36

They may need a bit of alteration here and there.

0:31:360:31:39

Kinessa, we'll try you in this one.

0:31:390:31:43

-I don't know.

-Are we going to fit it?

0:31:440:31:47

We'll look like sacks of potatoes!

0:31:470:31:50

It's not what I'd want at all.

0:31:500:31:53

It's a bit scary!

0:31:530:31:56

That was a better reaction than I thought I was going to get.

0:31:560:31:59

I thought I was going to get beaten up by three girls, like.

0:31:590:32:03

Erm...

0:32:090:32:10

I'm still unsure.

0:32:120:32:14

Are you not happy? No?

0:32:140:32:16

No way! That's so cool!

0:32:220:32:24

Oh, they're not happy!

0:32:240:32:27

-Their faces are not good.

-OK, hit me with it.

0:32:270:32:30

So, yeah...

0:32:300:32:33

-Hit me with it.

-Some of the dresses are really nice,

0:32:330:32:36

-but we just need to...

-Get over the shock.

0:32:360:32:39

Yeah, I bet it is a massive shock and I can only imagine.

0:32:390:32:42

But when you see the venue... And, by the way,

0:32:420:32:46

everybody will be dressed up, people coming as guests,

0:32:460:32:49

we'll have hats, we'll have gloves, we'll have fans,

0:32:490:32:51

we will have feathers - you will not be alone.

0:32:510:32:54

-We are attacking everybody at the door as they come through.

-OK.

0:32:540:32:58

So, everybody will get something who's coming.

0:32:580:33:00

I still see worried faces.

0:33:000:33:02

I'm worried about the wedding dress - this is OK.

0:33:020:33:05

We're just there to make the scene for her big day.

0:33:050:33:07

She knows we'll do it for her.

0:33:070:33:09

She needs to feel like a princess. She'll look amazing whatever, but...

0:33:090:33:13

She needs to be glamorous.

0:33:130:33:15

I think she does need a wedding dress.

0:33:150:33:18

-They don't like those dresses.

-Oh, yeah.

0:33:180:33:21

That is not what they were thinking.

0:33:210:33:24

But although they don't like them, they love Lucy more.

0:33:240:33:27

I think we all trust David, so... Oh, gosh! Yeah.

0:33:270:33:30

I'll go along with it. I'm still a bit in shock, actually.

0:33:300:33:35

She likes the book, but I'm just thinking,

0:33:350:33:37

it's her big day.

0:33:370:33:38

It's going to be one of those that everyone talks about.

0:33:380:33:41

No-one's going to forget it in a hurry.

0:33:410:33:44

The main thing, more important than anything,

0:33:460:33:48

is secret - you are now being inducted into the fold.

0:33:480:33:52

This is a secret fold.

0:33:520:33:54

They're now part of the Darcy Dizzle.

0:33:540:33:56

You are now part of the Darcy Dizzle.

0:33:560:33:57

-Nice one, then. See you later, guys!

-See you later.

-Bye!

0:33:570:34:01

What a bargain! Bridesmaids' dresses at almost £150,

0:34:010:34:06

and David hasn't stopped there,

0:34:060:34:08

as he's refusing to scrimp on anything,

0:34:080:34:10

fearful his wedding could end up pants.

0:34:100:34:13

Speaking of which, he needs to get Lucy some lingerie.

0:34:160:34:20

I ain't feeling this one at all.

0:34:220:34:25

I ain't going! Ha! I ain't going.

0:34:250:34:28

If you need me, just shout. I'll come running.

0:34:280:34:31

HE SCREAMS

0:34:310:34:34

But what's this? Cool, calm David, unsure about a little underwear?

0:34:340:34:40

See you on the inside, cuz.

0:34:400:34:43

Hi.

0:34:430:34:44

I'm after a bra to go under the bridal gown,

0:34:460:34:51

and some things to go at the bottom, some pants, as well.

0:34:510:34:55

Erm, OK, are you thinking a thong or full pants?

0:34:550:35:01

Thong!

0:35:010:35:03

Not exactly Miss Bennet!

0:35:030:35:05

-Obviously, you don't want it too small.

-No, her mum's there.

0:35:050:35:09

Her mum's there. No chance!

0:35:090:35:11

How much are they? Because we're crazy on budget.

0:35:110:35:14

OK. That's 55.

0:35:140:35:15

Whoa!

0:35:150:35:17

-Yeah.

-Seriously?

-Yes.

-For a bra?

0:35:170:35:20

-Yeah.

-£55?

-Just one moment.

0:35:200:35:22

-How much is it for the thong?

-27.

0:35:220:35:25

Damian! I don't care now, Damian's coming in.

0:35:250:35:28

I don't know about bras. I don't know if that's a good deal.

0:35:280:35:31

We could go somewhere else and end up paying more, I don't know.

0:35:310:35:34

-I just don't know.

-And it's time as well, man.

0:35:340:35:37

-When are we going to get time to get to more bra shops?

-We ain't got no time.

0:35:370:35:40

-All right, OK.

-You need back-up?

0:35:400:35:44

No, this is a lone ranger operation. Thanks, though.

0:35:440:35:48

All right. In a bit.

0:35:480:35:49

I can't believe he's getting freaked out about underwear.

0:35:510:35:54

I thought this would be his area. I thought he'd be all over this.

0:35:540:35:58

I want her to feel special on that day.

0:36:000:36:02

Absolutely like a princess.

0:36:020:36:04

The whole idea why we're doing everything

0:36:040:36:06

is that she literally goes into her dream world,

0:36:060:36:08

like she does when she's reading her books.

0:36:080:36:11

No point spending that money on a dress

0:36:110:36:13

and then giving her something that's not going to do it.

0:36:130:36:16

I want her literally, that morning,

0:36:160:36:18

to feel like she is a princess, which she is to me.

0:36:180:36:20

OK, thank you very much.

0:36:200:36:22

-Thank you, bye.

-Bye.

0:36:220:36:24

All the focus on Lucy's wedding

0:36:280:36:31

has brought back memories for her mum.

0:36:310:36:34

I was 23, there.

0:36:340:36:36

-Aww.

-And you're 23, now.

-It's mad that, isn't it?

0:36:360:36:39

Awww!

0:36:390:36:40

-The church is gorgeous.

-Yeah, little church.

0:36:410:36:44

-Oh, you look dead happy.

-Yeah, I was really happy.

0:36:470:36:49

Just like her parents,

0:36:490:36:51

it's the full-on traditional church wedding that Lucy wants -

0:36:510:36:55

a reminder of who's missing.

0:36:550:36:58

We all miss him very much and even all this time later,

0:36:580:37:02

we still feel it.

0:37:020:37:04

But hopefully, he'll be there with us on the day.

0:37:040:37:07

We have to just remember, weddings are happy, aren't they?

0:37:070:37:10

Mmm. I feel really sad, now.

0:37:100:37:13

I know.

0:37:140:37:15

It's mad, isn't it?

0:37:280:37:29

Should have a word, cos that's not like me.

0:37:290:37:32

In some ways, I think David and Lucy's dad are similar.

0:37:330:37:37

Their personalities are quite similar.

0:37:370:37:40

In what way?

0:37:400:37:41

You know, everybody likes David.

0:37:410:37:43

Everybody liked your dad. You know, it was, "How lovely!"

0:37:430:37:46

Everybody loved him.

0:37:460:37:48

I think David is exactly the same cos everybody loves him.

0:37:480:37:52

You know? Whoever meets him, they like him, don't they?

0:37:520:37:56

I know he's going to look after you. Your dad would be proud.

0:37:560:38:00

Back with David, and he's yet to transform Sandon Hall

0:38:110:38:14

into his Pride And Prejudice vision.

0:38:140:38:16

With money and time fast running out,

0:38:160:38:19

it's time to get a little creative.

0:38:190:38:22

-I smell like a girl.

-I smell like a girl? You smell like a girl!

0:38:220:38:26

-Man down!

-I cut myself with the scissors.

0:38:260:38:30

I've actually cut myself with a pair of pink scissors.

0:38:300:38:33

HE LAUGHS

0:38:330:38:35

A traditional British flower,

0:38:350:38:39

lavender was popular in Regency times

0:38:390:38:41

and the lads want to make Lucy's big day as authentic as possible.

0:38:410:38:45

MUSIC: An English Country Garden

0:38:450:38:47

If this ain't love, I don't know what is. No budget.

0:38:470:38:50

Normally, you'd just go, "No budget, all over, can't do it".

0:38:500:38:54

But no, we find another way.

0:38:540:38:56

Oh, man. This is commitment, right here. This is commitment.

0:38:560:39:00

You're doing it for Lucy, for love, why am I here?

0:39:000:39:02

For love. You're here for family love, man.

0:39:020:39:05

-Don't give me family love.

-Family love.

0:39:050:39:07

It's the day before the wedding

0:39:160:39:20

and time for Lucy to catch a first glimpse of her dress...

0:39:200:39:23

Hi, Lucy.

0:39:230:39:24

..or not, as the case may be.

0:39:240:39:27

OK, Lucy, we have had a special request

0:39:270:39:30

-for you to be blindfolded while you try the dress on.

-Oh, no!

0:39:300:39:35

And there is a reason for this.

0:39:350:39:38

He really doesn't want the surprise of tomorrow to be spoiled.

0:39:380:39:41

-I can't believe it.

-Why would he blindfold you?

0:39:410:39:45

-It's fancy dress.

-It's not fancy dress.

-It is.

0:39:450:39:48

Why would he blindfold you?

0:39:480:39:50

OK.

0:39:520:39:54

Lucy's being kept in the dark, literally, and has no choice

0:39:540:39:57

but to put her faith in David.

0:39:570:39:59

Stop crying, Lucy!

0:40:010:40:03

You OK?

0:40:040:40:05

There's the chair. I'm holding the back of it so you won't fall over.

0:40:070:40:10

It's absolutely beautiful, Lucy.

0:40:220:40:25

It is gorgeous.

0:40:250:40:26

You OK?

0:40:310:40:33

Yeah, I'm fine.

0:40:330:40:34

I know what you're thinking - why have you got...

0:40:360:40:39

But altogether, it's gorgeous, honestly.

0:40:390:40:41

-Doesn't it, Alexis, look beautiful?

-Yeah, it looks amazing, Lucy.

0:40:410:40:45

It really looks beautiful and you will love it. You will love it.

0:40:450:40:50

What do I think? I don't know.

0:40:500:40:52

I know exactly what she's thinking.

0:40:520:40:54

Even though it's bad to blindfold her,

0:40:560:40:58

it's an awful thing to do,

0:40:580:41:00

if he hadn't, she definitely would have knew about it,

0:41:000:41:04

so what could he do?

0:41:040:41:05

But it looks beautiful. It all goes together.

0:41:050:41:08

It's all gorgeous.

0:41:080:41:09

I'm really happy. I'm just hoping Lucy's going to be happy with it.

0:41:090:41:13

Just step out. There's nothing in front of you, there's no steps.

0:41:130:41:17

If I was in my normal frame of mind,

0:41:170:41:19

I probably would've found it funny, or, like,

0:41:190:41:23

I don't know, a bit of fun,

0:41:230:41:25

but cos I've been so stressed, it's like, "Oh, what's he doing?"

0:41:250:41:29

But he obviously just wants it to be a surprise.

0:41:290:41:31

He wouldn't do anything horrible,

0:41:310:41:33

to upset me on purpose,

0:41:330:41:35

so I'm just going to go with it and see what happens.

0:41:350:41:38

Having seen the gown and guessed David's theme,

0:41:390:41:42

Lucy's mum can only hope that her daughter will be happy

0:41:420:41:46

with what he's planned for her big day.

0:41:460:41:48

It's the night before the wedding.

0:41:590:42:02

David and his ushers are putting the finishing touches to Sandon Hall.

0:42:020:42:06

But has this nurse from Derby done enough research

0:42:060:42:09

to prove this time, he isn't blagging?

0:42:090:42:13

I don't know if she'll walk in and be jaw dropped, amazed,

0:42:130:42:15

or she'll walk in and go, "What have you done?

0:42:150:42:18

"Why are people wearing bonnets? Why are people wearing hats?

0:42:180:42:21

"Simple thing - get a wedding sorted,

0:42:210:42:23

"and you've done all this crazy stuff."

0:42:230:42:25

He's worked hard to give Lucy the wedding he thinks she wants.

0:42:250:42:30

Now, his shoestring Regency wedding has one night to come together

0:42:300:42:34

and prove he can get it right without faking it.

0:42:340:42:37

He's trying to achieve a big-budget drama look

0:42:370:42:40

with £750 and a couple of mates.

0:42:400:42:44

But whether he can achieve it with bowls of fruit from the greengrocer,

0:42:440:42:48

pick-your-own lavender and a flat-pack garden arch,

0:42:480:42:51

remains to be seen.

0:42:510:42:53

Fair play to him.

0:42:530:42:55

Even if I have to dress up like an idiot and make an arch,

0:42:550:42:59

and wear silly clothes and do a dance that I can't do that.

0:42:590:43:03

I can do the woman's side, but I cant do the bloke's side.

0:43:030:43:08

Aside from all that, I'm just glad he's going to have the day he wants.

0:43:080:43:12

If he messes this up, Regency expert Lucy is sure to notice.

0:43:140:43:19

It's the morning of the wedding.

0:43:260:43:27

After an overnight stay in a nearby hotel,

0:43:270:43:30

Lucy has woken up nervous and excited,

0:43:300:43:34

and resigned to having a DIY makeover.

0:43:340:43:37

I would've liked a make-up artist, someone to do my hair,

0:43:370:43:41

but I think the girls will help me with that.

0:43:410:43:44

I'm sure I'll cope.

0:43:440:43:46

But this is her special day,

0:43:480:43:50

and David wants to pamper her.

0:43:500:43:52

It begins with her own hairdresser, Franka.

0:43:520:43:55

Oh, my God!

0:43:570:43:59

Thought I was going to do my own hair, like,

0:44:000:44:02

have to figure out something to do with it.

0:44:020:44:06

The surprises come thick and fast.

0:44:080:44:10

-Hello, there!

-Oh, hi!

-David sent me.

0:44:100:44:14

Hi!

0:44:150:44:17

Hi! Oh, my God!

0:44:170:44:20

David's got a little surprise for you.

0:44:200:44:23

Oh!

0:44:230:44:24

I'm starting to feel really pampered and spoiled, like, pampered bride.

0:44:280:44:32

I think I'm so nervous, now,

0:44:320:44:34

it's like...

0:44:340:44:35

..just, my legs are shaking and my belly's going over.

0:44:370:44:41

I'm just thinking that I'm actually getting married. Just crazy.

0:44:410:44:44

David was very specific.

0:44:460:44:47

He wanted her with ringlets like Miss Bennet.

0:44:470:44:50

-It can now be revealed.

-Gorgeous, isn't it?

0:44:500:44:52

LUCY LAUGHS

0:44:520:44:55

Hmmm. What's he up to?

0:44:560:44:58

Well, Miss Bennet, he's in a different hotel,

0:44:580:45:00

turning into Mr Darcy.

0:45:000:45:02

How many times did you say to go round? Two, maybe three?

0:45:030:45:06

Two, depending on the length of it.

0:45:060:45:08

I think that's what I've done wrong. I gave it one.

0:45:080:45:11

There's not one thing I'd do different.

0:45:110:45:13

There's not one thing I'd change. I love it all.

0:45:130:45:16

Just got to hope Lucy likes what we've done and get on with it, really.

0:45:160:45:20

Fingers crossed!

0:45:200:45:22

And cravats!

0:45:230:45:25

Two hours before the wedding,

0:45:270:45:29

and there's one big surprise that definitely cannot go wrong.

0:45:290:45:33

The dress bit - still worried about that,

0:45:330:45:36

even though I think it's lovely and if it's what I think it is,

0:45:360:45:39

it's going to fit in perfectly with what's going on.

0:45:390:45:42

She'll love everything,

0:45:420:45:44

but I don't know what she'll think about the dress.

0:45:440:45:47

If Lucy doesn't like her dress, it really is too late to change it.

0:45:470:45:52

It's very dramatic.

0:45:570:45:59

You have to try it on, don't you? Looks quite a bit plain, though.

0:45:590:46:03

OK, shall we go through?

0:46:040:46:07

Have I got my underwear or...?

0:46:070:46:09

Wow, Lucy! Gorgeous. Isn't that beautiful?

0:46:150:46:19

Makes me feel like I'm from a different era.

0:46:200:46:23

MUSIC: Pride And Prejudice Theme

0:46:230:46:28

Oh, I think I've got Elizabeth Bennet going on here!

0:46:280:46:32

So, I don't know what he's got going on!

0:46:320:46:35

I would never have picked this dress,

0:46:350:46:37

but I can see why he's picked it.

0:46:370:46:40

Cos I knew exactly what he was trying to say,

0:46:400:46:42

as soon as I put it on.

0:46:420:46:43

I feel like I'm in fancy dress.

0:46:430:46:46

I think he's put a lot of thought into it,

0:46:460:46:48

so, just see how well he's executed it, now.

0:46:480:46:51

Well, the dress hasn't vexed her.

0:46:550:46:57

But now, there's the ceremony to worry about.

0:46:570:47:00

Have the boys succeeded?

0:47:000:47:02

More importantly, have they turned up?

0:47:020:47:04

Yep, there they are.

CHEERING

0:47:120:47:15

Oh, Mr Darcy! That is the Dizzle.

0:47:190:47:22

Wa-hay!

0:47:240:47:26

Do a theme, we do it right. We go 100 per cent.

0:47:260:47:28

Can't do it half and half. We're going to do it, got to go all the way, here.

0:47:280:47:32

Just got to finish off the rest of it.

0:47:320:47:34

Oh! You look amazing! I love it. And you got blue, Alexis.

0:47:360:47:39

Can't complain about that.

0:47:390:47:41

-It's gorgeous, isn't it?

-Oh, look at that.

0:47:410:47:45

-You look like you just stepped out of another era.

-It feels like it!

0:47:450:47:49

It does.

0:47:490:47:51

Lucy, this is your carriage.

0:47:510:47:54

He's had to make some cutbacks!

0:47:550:47:57

I can't believe this, this is hilarious!

0:47:590:48:02

It seems that's David's broken with the Regency tradition.

0:48:050:48:09

Is that Sandon? Sandon Hall?

0:48:160:48:18

-Is this where we're going?

-We're going to Sandon Hall?

0:48:180:48:21

Are we?

0:48:210:48:23

Whoa! Can't be going in there. That's too posh, isn't it?

0:48:230:48:26

Oh, my God!

0:48:280:48:30

What!?

0:48:320:48:33

-There isn't a horse and carriage, is there?

-No way!

0:48:330:48:36

I can't believe it.

0:48:360:48:38

Oh, my God.

0:48:380:48:40

Oh, thank you.

0:48:420:48:43

Thank you.

0:48:550:48:57

And if Lucy wasn't feeling like Miss Bennet already...

0:49:000:49:04

..she should be now.

0:49:070:49:09

And your own Mr Darcy awaits.

0:49:090:49:13

-No way!

-That is beautiful.

0:49:170:49:19

And that, Miss Bennet, is where you're getting married.

0:49:190:49:23

-It's gorgeous!

-Oh, my gosh!

0:49:230:49:25

I think she likes it.

0:49:250:49:26

Oh, my gosh!

HOOVES CLATTER ON GRAVEL

0:49:270:49:30

Oh, my gosh.

0:49:300:49:32

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

0:49:510:49:53

I would like to offer you all a very warm welcome as we celebrate

0:49:530:49:57

the marriage of Mr Darcy and Miss Bennet...

0:49:570:50:00

LAUGHTER

0:50:000:50:02

..also known as David and Lucy.

0:50:020:50:05

Do you take Lucy to be your wife?

0:50:050:50:08

-I do.

-Thank you.

0:50:080:50:10

-And Lucy, do you take David to be your husband?

-I do.

0:50:100:50:16

Thank you.

0:50:160:50:17

David and Lucy, you have both declared yourselves free and willing to marry.

0:50:190:50:25

Will you now turn and face each other and hold hands

0:50:250:50:28

as you make your formal vows of marriage?

0:50:280:50:30

I call upon these persons here present...

0:50:300:50:33

That I, Lucy...

0:50:330:50:35

-Do take thee, David...

-Do take thee, David...

0:50:350:50:38

Do take thee, Lucy...

0:50:380:50:40

To be my lawful, wedded husband.

0:50:400:50:42

To be my lawful, wedded wife.

0:50:420:50:45

I'd like to call upon Damian

0:50:450:50:47

to step forward to present the rings.

0:50:470:50:50

Lucy's left hand,

0:50:500:50:52

and say these words to her as you place the ring on her finger.

0:50:520:50:55

Lucy, all that I have, I give to you.

0:50:550:50:58

It is now my privilege and very great pleasure

0:51:030:51:07

to pronounce that you are husband and wife together,

0:51:070:51:11

and you may kiss your beautiful bride.

0:51:110:51:14

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:51:140:51:16

I realised it was fancy dress. I was, like, "Oh, no",

0:51:390:51:43

and then, sort of, as things started happening,

0:51:430:51:46

then this morning, I was like, "Oh, I get it! It's nice!"

0:51:460:51:49

But it's hysterical how you put them in dresses.

0:51:490:51:52

-That was so funny! They're actually wearing them.

-But they actually look all right.

0:51:520:51:57

-They do.

-Yay!

0:51:570:51:59

I've got nothing bad to say.

0:51:590:52:01

Oh, I feel good. I've been frightened. Seriously.

0:52:010:52:04

With Mrs Darcy in full agreement, Mr Darcy can now find out

0:52:040:52:08

whether his set dressing is up to scratch.

0:52:080:52:11

Just look. Just look.

0:52:150:52:17

Oh, it looks amazing.

0:52:170:52:21

-Do you like it?

-Yeah, it looks gorgeous.

0:52:210:52:24

-Candelabras!

-Yeah, man.

-I love the centrepieces of fruit.

0:52:240:52:29

They imported expensive fruits in to show how wealthy they were.

0:52:290:52:34

-You've done your research!

-That's it.

0:52:340:52:36

That looks amazing.

0:52:360:52:38

Got the lavender cos we noticed that's what they had tied in bunches.

0:52:380:52:42

It's beautiful.

0:52:420:52:43

I love it, I really do love it. You've worked so hard, I can tell.

0:52:450:52:49

It's absolutely stunning. I really love it.

0:52:490:52:52

I didn't doubt you once, babe.

0:52:560:52:57

I did.

0:52:590:53:00

Quite a lot!

0:53:010:53:03

He hasn't overdone it but it's believable

0:53:130:53:16

and everyone's just like, "Wow!"

0:53:160:53:19

APPLAUSE

0:53:190:53:22

Lovely!

0:53:230:53:25

He's just thought about everything and I take back everything I said!

0:53:260:53:31

He's done a brilliant job.

0:53:310:53:32

She came down to me and said,

0:53:340:53:36

"I feel like a princess. This all feels so surreal,

0:53:360:53:40

"and I'm just trying to soak it all in cos it's amazing."

0:53:400:53:43

And that was when I knew I'd got it.

0:53:430:53:46

I literally had got it.

0:53:460:53:49

He wanted to do it for Lucy

0:53:490:53:50

and the main person was Lucy

0:53:500:53:52

and Lucy has loved every minute of it,

0:53:520:53:54

so, that's the main thing.

0:53:540:53:56

She's loved it, so we're happy.

0:53:560:53:57

I want to see everyone raising their glasses for this last toast,

0:53:590:54:03

to the amazing, wonderful bride and groom, David and Lucy.

0:54:030:54:06

-The bride and groom.

-ALL: Cheers!

0:54:060:54:09

A national apology to all the female population,

0:54:090:54:12

but this man is off the market!

0:54:120:54:14

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:54:140:54:18

It was unbelievable.

0:54:180:54:19

I don't think anyone could've pulled off anything better than this.

0:54:190:54:23

Really don't.

0:54:230:54:24

CHEERING

0:54:240:54:29

I can't believe it! It's just absolutely brilliant. I'm tongue-tied. I can't even talk.

0:54:300:54:35

Just had a beautiful day. She's just so happy. I've not seen her so happy.

0:54:350:54:38

I just can't believe he did this. My gosh, I'm so proud of him.

0:54:470:54:50

So extremely proud of him.

0:54:500:54:52

And Mr Darcy has one last surprise.

0:55:000:55:04

Yep, it's time to dance.

0:55:270:55:30

Yay!

0:55:360:55:37

-We going to smash, or what?

-Stop it!

-Three weeks.

0:55:380:55:41

Next time, does fisherman, Harry, put his love of the sea...

0:55:460:55:49

-What more do you need?

-..before the love of his life?

0:55:490:55:52

You stink!

0:55:520:55:53

With a bride that finds it hard to trust.

0:55:530:55:55

I heard that Harry was out with some local tarts.

0:55:550:55:58

Will loving the booze and missing the bonking lead him astray?

0:55:580:56:02

Going to get a load of hookers!

0:56:020:56:04

Will this fisherman give his land-loving girl...

0:56:040:56:07

-I'm

-BLEEP

-scared of boats!

-..the wedding of her dreams?

0:56:070:56:10

She doesn't even like the water!

Oh, tough crap! I like the water, so we're having it there.
