Chris and Corrine Don't Tell the Bride

-Don't Tell The Bride celebrates weddings like no-one else...

-Congratulations on your big day!

..from New York...

to Glasgow...

Las Vegas...

Why would the man I love do this?

..to Ibiza

and one unforgettable roller-coaster ride.

Why are we at Thorpe Park on my wedding day?

And now we're back,

as 12 more unsuspecting brides prepare for the journey of a lifetime.

No fricking way!

The grooms get three weeks and £12,000...

..and the brides get no say in how it's spent.

I'm trying to stay positive, and I can't.

So, get ready to rock...

I don't even want you at the wedding.

..as the party reaches new heights and sinks to new lows,

with more fairy-tale endings than ever before.

Is this it? This is all I get?

I am awesome.

Tonight, flamboyant eccentric Chris relives his childhood...

Honestly, I could spend all day here playing!

..with a fairy-tale wedding in the woods

for his heavily-pregnant bride Corrine.

There's little bit crazy, then there's Chris crazy.

Arrrrghh!

I think he knows which buttons to press

and I think he knows not to take it too far.

This groom has huge ambitions.

I don't just want to plan a wedding. I want to plan an event.

We can do this! We can do it!

But is he living in a fantasy?

Let's say I go mental...

I'm having a complete breakdown. Christina's had a panic attack.

While bride Corinne believes in him...

There's method in his madness, and I know you don't all believe me!

..her friends aren't so sure.

Has he drugged you or something?

Am I going all red? I get red when I panic.

Can this Mad Hatter pull off his delirious daydream...

I can't even spend the money in my head!

..or will it be a Neverland nightmare?

I'm all right. I'm all right.

You seem very calm about it all, Corrine.

I'd be screaming blue murder, wanting to kill him.

Pregnant bride-to-be Corrine is expecting her second child

with big kid and love of her life, Chris.

I am the exuberant, ridiculous eccentric...

# Like a rhinestone cowboy. #

..and Corrine is the anchor that grounds me.

You look like Dolly Parton!

I've always been the sort of person that likes to plan

and likes to know what's going to happen day by day.

Brought up in a sleepy Scottish village,

27-year-old nightclub DJ Chris

moved to the bright lights of Doncaster seven years ago,

where he met Corrine - three years his junior, but definitely the grown-up in the relationship.

I'm quite a homely person, typical Taurus, I don't like change.

She's only eight weeks away from giving birth.

Fricking hormones are doing my head in at the moment!

But their seven-year relationship

didn't get off to the most romantic start.

It wasn't like our eyes met across a crowded room

and we knew we were going to be in love for ever!

I wanted to sleep with Corrine and she didn't want to sleep with me,

so I saw this as the challenge.

To be honest, I thought he was gay. I didn't fancy him from the start.

Cheers. Cheers.

But bigmouth Chris talked Corrine round,

and they're now proud parents to their first son, Oscar.

Chris' strongest point in our relationship is the fact that he's such a brilliant dad,

because you spend all the free time you have with Oscar.

Becoming a dad was the biggest life-changing experience.

After becoming a father, Chris decided to pop the question.

When Chris proposed to me, I didn't expect it at all.

I didn't think it was something he'd thought about.

It is important to me to be married,

not just because I want to be Corinne's husband,

but I think it'll allow me to be a better father, not only to Oscar,

but to Bump as well, the one that's on the way.

I just like the idea of... us all sharing the same name...

Yeah, sort of soppy, traditional stuff I never wanted before I had Oscar,

but it's everything to me now.

And Chris is desperate to give Corinne a spectacular day.

I'd say the entire wedding plan that I've got in mind

is about making a big statement.

My main priority is to give Corrine the wedding not only that

I think she deserves, but also that I think she will thoroughly enjoy.

And he's got it all mapped out.

I want a theatrical fairy-tale wedding,

like you've walked onto a film set

or into the pages of your favourite childhood fairy-tale book.

I want you to be greeted by children dressed as fairies who take you on a walk through the woods

till you get to where we're getting married and it is spectacular,

it is a visual feast that you can interact with,

there is stuff for you to do all through the day,

where the kids act like kids and so do the adults.

While visionary Chris is away with the fairies,

realist Corrine is more concerned with the practicalities of her big day.

It's not so much the physical implications of being huge

and walking down the aisle for me,

it's just the added stress, I suppose.

When your hormones come into play

and your emotions are a little bit heightened, you are more sensitive to things.

Bad timing, really.

This is all suddenly very real, and I'm very, very worried.

It's time for the couple to say their goodbyes.

-Mum.

-Mum.

Corinne's mum is on hand to pick up her daughter and grandson.

You'll be back here before you know it, kid.

For the next three weeks, Oscar will divide his time between Mum and Dad,

but they will have no contact until the big day.

I love you.

I love you.

Come on, go, go, go, go.

Say bye to Daddy.

I knew it would be the hardest bit,

but I didn't think it would be that hard.

Time to rise to the challenge and get things done.

Let's plan a wedding!

Helping Chris bring his woodland wedding to life is fellow DJ and best man Matt.

What's happening, brother?!

So perfect venue... What are you thinking?

Because I'm not going down the normal route of find a venue,

get a church, traditional type of view,

I want to discover somewhere, go out and find somewhere.

I know exactly how I want it to look.

On the up side, we'll be able to play armies in the woods.

-Camouflage pants, walking boots.

-Damn straight.

What are we going to do? Google maps it? Find wooded areas, drive there, look round?

It'll have to be something special.

It would be great if Corrine wasn't pregnant,

because we could just do it anyway and get her so drunk that she wouldn't know.

I like it when we have good plans.

So with their only aim to track down a wood, the boys hit the road.

Rock and roll.

Road trip!

Meanwhile, Corrine is at her favourite tea shop,

wondering what she's let herself in for.

Everything is going ahead and it's very strange,

and I'm panicking because I'm wondering

is he sat at home playing PlayStation when he should be planning my wedding!

This is Russell, our talking tree, like you do in an enchanted forest.

Corinne needn't worry - there's no PlayStation just a playground.

If it carries on likes this, this is awesome!

Chris' first stop is the forest at Stockeld Park in Wetherby,

where woodland helper Amy is on hand to show them around.

What we're approaching now is what we call our fairy chimes to call on the fairies,

so your guests can take it in turns to call on the fairies.

Oh, beautiful. Let's go, I don't know what we're going to see next. I'm excited!

This is amazing!

Somewhere like this is ideal.

It's the old English forest with the trees and everything.

It just fits perfectly.

But Chris' fantasy could easily be scuppered by reality.

In England you can't legally get married outside,

and only a licensed building will do.

So this here is Gretel's cabin,

which normally we sell hot chocolate and mulled wine out of.

Now, you need to do some further research

but the only suggestion that I have with regard to licensing

which might be a loophole, is that this is a structure,

and you could potentially license this structure.

Open it.

Let's be honest, it's a garden shed.

But in the mind of creative genius Chris, it's the greatest stage on Earth.

Corrine comes up, she comes through the enchanted forest,

sees all the magic of it and it's completely blacked out here with a curtain parting off the middle,

and somebody just leads her in and says,

"Just stand there, you'll be OK," and closes the door behind her, right?

Now, next up, we have somebody here with a big old leather-bound book,

and all the guests turn up and stand around or sit down on the hay bales at the front and we have,

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to tell you a fairy tale

"that's being written as we speak,"

and the doors open and the curtain falls and lights come up inside.

Honestly, I'm getting a little bit emotional, thinking about this.

This is beautiful, this is... this is the fairy-tale wedding

that I want to give her, and the doors open and we get married.

Wonderful little shed. Come on, please.

We can do this. We can do it!

Chris may be getting excited over a wooden shed,

but with just three weeks until the wedding,

his plans are already starting to splinter.

I think you need 28 days, for...to licence any structure.

If you do some research, I think that's what you will discover,

that it's almost impossible, even if we were to use Gretel's cabin,

because the wedding is in such a short time.

We don't have 28 days.

Oh.

Down but not out, Chris hatches a new plan.

North of the border in Scotland, Chris could get married outside.

But it's a long way from Doncaster.

And a long way from Corrine's dream of a quintessentially English wedding.

She's brought mum Sharon and bridesmaids Danielle and Samaya

to see her perfect venue.

This is what I...

This is The Secret.

Do you like what you see?

-It's gorgeous.

-I don't know what you've got pictured?

If I did it myself, this is exactly what it would be like,

with the bunting and the exact same flowers and everything, everything.

-Exactly the same.

-Good.

-Every conversation we've had, this is what you described.

I can't believe it's real.

And it's not actually what I'm going to get!

Nope. Not while Chris is in charge.

Determined to have his woodland wedding,

Chris has come to Mabie Forest in south-west Scotland.

What a view! I'm going to do that, like a child.

It almost makes me feel patriotic.

You get married in there,

you can have an aisle and you can have seating,

but we leave that to you - it's all about you, really.

Yep, it's all about her. Or maybe not.

Led by ranger Mark, the boys head deeper and deeper into the woods.

I would say it's a shotgun wedding, but we've already got one kid,

so technically it's a sawn-off shotgun wedding, we're calling it.

-Because my fiancee's eight months pregnant.

-Oh, really?

-Yeah.

Because if there's one thing every pregnant woman loves, it's hiking.

After a lengthy walk, Chris' dreams are starting to come true.

Oh! Nice! Oh!

Oh, yeah!

Very nice.

Chris must be nuts. He forks out 500 quid to get married

on a bare patch of ground up a long muddy track

in the middle of a forest.

Everything is so close together,

cos it's hard to get about when you're pregnant.

When you come up to this area, when you've finished the service,

we ask the guests to come up here, have a drink,

just to celebrate that you've just got married and enjoy the gardens.

It's a proper secret garden.

It is. It is, I'd never have known it was here.

While refined Corinne dreams of manicured lawns, marquees and bunting,

wild man Chris is yearning for yurts and mud huts,

just perfect for a heavily-pregnant bride's wedding reception!

We're just setting up for a wedding on Saturday.

This table is everything you have dreamed off!

-I thought it would be!

-Yeah, it's perfect!

There's little wishing spoons.

-The teacups!

-It's absolutely perfect.

That's done it now.

Bless. Give us a hug.

I hope he knows this is what I want.

Something tells me it won't be that civilised now Chris is planning it.

She knows her man so well.

THE FLINTSTONES THEME TUNE PLAYS

Chris' reception venue is not so much civilised, more caveman.

Oh, my God!

It's everything, it's the smells and everything, it's amazing.

Don't tell me there's anything more, I don't think I could take it!

-What food would you have, Corrine?

-Like a three-course meal.

I just know that I wouldn't want something daft like a hog roast.

This here is a hog roaster, you can probably still smell it.

You will be able to still smell it.

this is two eight-foot-long log fires, burning for 12 hours.

Piggy in the middle.

Looking like a piggy should look.

Apple in mouth.

Not quite. Big steel spike up its arse.

Charming!

Wow!

So you get ready in here.

There's an en suite next to the main bedroom, and that interconnects with the small bedroom there

for the bridesmaids to get ready, so you've got everything here that you need.

I want to live here now. I want to move in here instead!

Whilst pregnant Corrine dreams of a plush, luxurious,

comfortable honeymoon suite,

big kid Chris seems determined to give her a scouting weekend!

Can we have a little squint in through the door?

This is two single beds which we can make into a double,

water, cooking on gas, dead cosy wood burner.

-Brilliant.

-Down here, these are composting loos, have a sniff value

and see if you think it's smelling horrid.

Our car's worse.

I can't say I've ever used a composting loo before.

I might drop a deuce.

It's been here for five years and never been emptied.

Oh, my God!

It's got Corrine written all over it.

If I could have picked a venue for Corrine, this would be it.

Those teacups, that sold it for me.

I don't want to be walking far or having to go to different places

to do different things when I'm eight months pregnant,

it's just not practical, and I hope that Chris has thought of that as well.

I'm not going to compromise on this, it has to be an exclusive booking,

it has to be the whole thing, it has to be us.

How much are we looking at?

For the accommodation, the whole site, excluding the catering,

£930 for the night.

-For everything?

-Hm. That doesn't include the catering.

For the whole thing?

Sorry, I've been doing this all week!

Is that within budget, do I detect?

In budget?! Come here, you beautiful man.

I can charge you more if you prefer.

Catering, hog roast, how much are you thinking?

2,600, as near as round figures, would be exclusive use of the whole site and hog roast.

It's a big cost to take in, but who cares?

Pencil us in for August 5th. I'll call you tomorrow.

So Chris forks out £2,600 on a woodland wedding,

complete with reception yurt

and a honeymoon tent with en suite composting loo.

I'm going to have nine and a half thousand pounds left over.

Let's say we allocate half of that for a wedding dress,

right, let's say I go mental and get Corrine a four grand custom-made designer wedding dress,

that still leaves me four grand over.

Let's say I spend two grand on my outfit, let's say I go mental

and have a costume designer make mine.

That's still two and half grand left over.

Let's say I spend £1,000 on transport

for two coaches to get here and take everybody that I want to be here, here.

That still leaves 1,500 quid left over to just play with

and that's...

I can't even spend the money in my head!

With the woodland venue booked, he now faces the tough task

of transforming it from a forest into a fairy tale.

I said from the beginning I want to make something that's unique.

I don't just want to plan a wedding, I want to plan an event.

He's come to a film set prop shop to gather together as many elements

of his favourite fairy tales as possible, but he's struggling to focus.

We could go mental in here and have so many things out in the woods

and they would all look great,

but we don't want to overpop... Is that a pirate ship?

Amazing! Look at them. They're huge!

They're so big, it makes you feel smaller, which is what we're trying to do, make people feel like kids.

Honestly, I could spend all day here, playing!

It's just quirky and different and weird. It's me.

This is the time where Corrine comes in handy, to go,

"Yeah, they look good, they look good, that'll look a bit jokey."

Without his sensible sidekick,

Chris blows a grand on fairy-tale knick-knacks.

The toadstool table, carousel horse, big and small,

the little ones and the big 'uns, the Narnia wardrobe door,

the "drink me" bottle, the giant lollypops, the giant cupcakes,

the giant cup and saucer.

This is starting to add up.

You're more than welcome.

I want this to be something that almost becomes a fairy tale in itself

so that people who are at the wedding tell their grandkids

the story of our wedding, the story of how much of a fairy tale it was.

Five days in, and while Chris' fairy-tale vision takes flight,

Corinne is bogged down with the realities of being eight months pregnant.

I'm going to see my midwife, check to see how baby's doing.

Ever the sensible one,

she's focusing on the practicalities of the big day.

I really hope that he's taking into consideration that I'm struggling with travelling,

with even walking at the moment. I've got a lovely little waddle.

-Hi!

-Hi! Come on in.

-How are you?

-OK.

-Good.

Meanwhile, eccentric Chris has started considering practicalities.

Sort of.

He's checking out a novel way to get pregnant Corrine around the forest.

-I understand you've got a particular mode of transport.

-I have.

-Lovely. Shall we go and have a look?

-Come this way.

This is primarily the wedding car transport for my eight-month pregnant fiancee,

who will struggle to get around on the day.

So we're 32 and a bit weeks, then, aren't we, now?

-Yeah.

-Let's check your blood pressure, make sure that's OK.

Okey-doke.

Perfect. That's lovely.

But Chris' blood pressure is going through the roof!

Oh, my God!

Who needs Alton Towers?

Get out the way, sheep!

-As soon as I lay down, he wakes up!

-Does he?

HEART BEAT

Oh, that's beautiful. He's loving it in there, isn't he?

Oh, my God!

This is a cliff!

Everything else seems fine, so we're doing dead well. See you again! Bye!

Good luck!

Oh, my God!

I think this will do the job and more, to be honest with you!

You can put the champagne in the cup-holders as well.

I hope he takes into account on the day that I'm eight months pregnant.

I'm sure he will have done. I'm sure he will have done.

I think it's a yes, as far as I'm concerned.

We need something to get her around on the day, and what could be more apt than this?

OK, give me the pen for the ideas thing, right?

One week down and Chris has already spent four grand on a wood to get married in,

some giant fairy-tale props, and an all-terrain go-kart.

What I want is, I want everybody else in the world to realise

how important this is and work at the same pace as I am.

Chris does have another wedding surprise in store, but he's keeping this one close to his chest.

-I want to hold your hand.

-That's not what I'm here for.

Agggghhhhhhh!

It's like being constantly electrocuted.

Aggghhhhh!

I think I might have just shit myself!

Across town, Corrine is on the hunt for her fantasy dress.

She knows that being a bride with a bump could prove difficult.

I doubt there's a very big selection of maternity wedding dresses, so it's a bit limited in choice, but...

There's lots of sheets.

-I'm Emily.

-Nice to meet you.

-Go upstairs.

-OK.

What we can do is pin you in quite a few of them and then show you the shape of how something would look.

I thought we would just be limited to one style of dress.

We're choosing a shape that hasn't got any empire line on it,

then we can add things to accentuate your rib cage

and your waist up here, underneath the bust that will be lovely on you.

I hope that somebody tells him that he can just get a dress altered,

because I didn't know, so he won't,

that you can just get a normal dress altered,

I thought that you just had to stick to maternity

or a certain cut of normal dresses.

But unfortunately for Corinne,

maternity dresses are exactly what Chris and his mates are looking for.

-We're looking for a wedding dress for my eight-month pregnant fiancee.

-OK.

I hope you might be able to help us out with some pregnant lady dresses.

We do have this one. It's beautiful, it's more flowing.

It would be more ideal for her as it fits under the bust and that would fit over her bump,

and it's more ideal because of the lace back there.

That would fit nicely around it.

I know that we're restricted because she's pregnant, but I do really like this.

-If we could take it up a bit...

-Yes.

It's very Corrine, that one.

So we're on the right track.

We are on the right track, yeah.

No, you're not!

Corinne wants to show off her bump in a fitted dress.

Ahhhhhh, look.

I just love it. It's absolutely beautiful.

I love that it goes in at the waist cos even though I'm pregnant, I've still got a decent waistline!

It's everything Corinne's ever dreamt of.

It's all she's ever described to us, and more, really.

Can I just buy it to walk around the house in?

I thought that because I was pregnant, I wouldn't be able to get the dress I wanted.

I thought lace was a no go.

I thought it would be a typical Grecian, goes in at the bust and out.

I thought that would be my only choice.

So she doesn't want a typical Grecian dress. Got that, Chris?

Yeah, I think we are definitely along the right lines with this type of flowing...

I might see what it's like on.

She's as tall as me with high heels on. I'm not trying it on, though.

She is, isn't she? With high heels on she's the same height as you

because she's just that little bit taller than me, which you are, so...

If we can get Alex a pillow...

Get in.

I'm not putting the dress on, no way.

Keeping it on all the time is a sign of a really good dress,

a sign you love it and you don't want to take it off and it doesn't even fit.

I think he might put in a bit more thought than we are giving him credit for.

Really?

Look at the length, though. That's perfect.

You look more pregnant than she did!

He knows what looks nice on a person.

Chris, this is your baby.

THEY LAUGH

I just hope Chris comes up big time, I tell you.

Chris has finally narrowed it down to two long, flowing Grecian dresses.

But to make the final decision, he needs to see what they look like on someone without a beard.

OK?

-Yes, OK, yes. 100% yes.

-I think you've picked the right one.

I honestly think that that's the type of thing she'd pick even if she wasn't pregnant.

Even if she doesn't like it, the most important thing is she'll look great in it.

Sold! Chris splashes £500 on a maternity-style dress for Corrine.

Halfway through his wedding plans, and with Corrine's dress in the bag,

Chris is turning his attention to the bridesmaids.

Corinne's mates haven't always appreciated his wacky ways or daring dress sense.

This could either go perfectly well or horribly, horribly wrong.

There's one item in here that you are going to shit bricks about.

If this is hot pants, I'll cry.

It is hot pants. No, no, no, don't worry.

-It is hot pants, but they're not...

-No!

-No, listen to me.

Will you just listen to me for a second?

The thing I've seen that's the closest we can get in here is hot pants,

but they're going to be a lot longer, don't worry.

Just trust me on this one. Come on.

They are going to kill me!

This is just to give you the vision, ignore the colour scheme for now.

Ignore these, cos I'll be able to see what you had for dinner.

It doesn't all have to be uniform.

Are we just going to look like a load of random people?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

I know exactly how this wedding's going to look.

If I put you guys in wedding dresses you'll more ridiculous

than you would if I put you in this.

I can hear them giggling in the background!

"What a twat he is!"

Matt, how do you think that went?

I think it went better than I actually thought it would.

I knew he was capable of it but I didn't think he'd do it.

Corrine's going to go mental.

She really is going to lose it.

Am I going all red? I get red when I get panicky.

Unbelievably two of the girls actually agree to go along with Chris' hot pants vision.

They're coming round to the idea a little bit now.

I'm not dealing with Corinne after this, this is going to tip her over the edge.

But with two bridesmaids breaking ranks,

Chris is forced to re-consider.

Shall we just bite the bullet and leave it to them?

So confident Chris lets the bridesmaids take over.

Isn't he supposed to be organising this?

Corinne would actually really like something like that.

What do you think to these?

Just bearing in mind we'd all have the same scarf but in different places.

I absolutely love it.

I'm not going to lie,

it is nothing like the idea I originally had in mind.

Are you all comfortable? Happy?

We've taken what you've shown us

and made it so that Corinne's not going to go ape.

I'm happy with that, let's do it.

So Chris is happy, but bride-to-be Corinne isn't.

It's the final week and she's still in the dark about when she's actually getting married.

Do you feel like you're getting married this weekend?

Not at all.

If it turns out it's Chris's fault I've not an invitation yet,

I'll be divorced him faster than I'll be marrying him.

But the invite is on its way

and Corinne's in for a big surprise

and it's not just the sight of groomsman Alex in another dress.

It's for you-hoo!

What's this?!

OK. This is interesting.

What is it? Let's have a look.

He had to do something different, didn't he?

Keen to impress his fiancee, Chris has made his very own invite,

a sort of Chris-o-gram.

MUSIC: "Toothpaste Kisses" by The Maccabees

THEY LAUGH

Ah!

He's done well!

Oh, he's keeping us waiting even now.

I'm ready.

You're kidding me!

Oh, my God.

Sunday the 5th.

Sunday.

Thank God, we've got a date.

I can't believe he's shaved his hair.

Is it a real tattoo? You're joking!

He won't forget your anniversary!

I've got my wedding date, that's really strange,

I'm getting married on Sunday.

# Out of control. #

It's two days before Chris's fairy-tale dreams

are due to become a reality,

but right now he's in dire need of a fairy godmother.

He still needs to order flowers, buy rings, get Corinne's shoes and organise a very late hen do.

Oscar, come on! Oscar!

Just put, "Sorry, last message from me only had half of what it should have."

We've sent the message, that's done. Oh, crap.

We need to get rings.

Crazy Chris's fairy-tale wedding is starting to look, well, a bit GRIMM!

But at least he has bought Corinne's wedding dress.

And she's on her way to see it for the first time.

Really, really anxious at the moment.

Feel a bit nauseous.

Sometimes I think, "He knows me really well,

"he knows what I'll like,"

sometimes I think, "He's still a guy."

Hi, you must be Corinne. It's lovely to meet you, I'm Wendy.

Heavily-pregnant Corinne dreamed of a shapely lace dress

that could be fitted to her bump.

But what will she make of Chris's Grecian maternity-style gown?

-OK. OK.

-I'm go to show it to you.

I'm panicking now.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

Oh.

-It's not what I expected at all.

-Are you pleased?

-I think so.

I don't know, I just need to get it on and see what it looks like on.

Just hearing her then, and hoping it's OK.

Can't wait to see it.

It's her day and I just want everything to be perfect for her.

Oh-h!

-That wasn't the reaction that I expected.

-It's lovely.

I can breathe.

It's just not what I expected at all.

It's nothing like the fitted dress that Corinne fell in love with,

but she seems determined to take it in her stride.

I did feel a little bit too hot in the one that I tried,

because it was heavy.

This is nice and light. I don't feel like I'm on fire.

But even she can't overlook the fact Chris hasn't got her any shoes.

Shoes.

Women don't wear their wedding dress again, let alone a maternity wedding dress ever again.

I would like some nice shoes and I hope that he has thought about that.

We really have to trust him that he's thought about everything

and not just the dress, and she's going to just be barefoot.

It's the day before the wedding

and, as usual, Chris is doing things his own way.

To get Corinne nearer to Scotland, he has decided

to send her on a very late hen do up north.

Only problem is he has been rather sparing with the details.

It would be nice to know what's going on so we knew what to take.

It's OK for boys to plan a wedding,

I don't think it registers with them

that all this has to come with a girl, just overnight.

We need to know details, it's crazy.

Typical, is just typical of them.

I bet Chris thinks this is something really nice and exciting and romantic

that he is just whisking us off somewhere.

I'm just getting a bit light-headed, I need to sit outside.

It's, like, two hours and we need to set off

and we don't even know where we're going,

what we're doing, who's coming.

And we've got to phone them now.

Chris doesn't want the girls to know the wedding's in Scotland,

so he is sending them to a hotel just south of the border,

but he's in danger of taking his secrecy too far.

Let's get some information.

Bonjour.

Don't you think it's about time you gave us a bit of information as to what's happening?

Samaya! Chill out.

Chill out?! Are you for real?

'Chill out.'

I'm having a complete breakdown, Christina's had a panic attack.

We don't know what to pack, we don't know where we're going.

That's why you've called me, so I can give you a bit of information.

But I shouldn't have had to have called, you should have called us.

-No.

-We should have had this sorted sooner.

We are playing our hand close to our chest. Yes, we are playing our hand close to our chest.

The earlier I give you a postcode,

the earlier you get on Google straightaway

and find out exactly where you are going.

Of course I will be on Google finding out where I am going.

If I leave it to the last minute

you are going to be so rushed off your feet packing

you won't have a chance to find out where you're going.

You'll just be able to put the postcode into the sat nav

when you get in the car and there you go.

-So I need a sat nav?

-Yes, you need a sat nav. We can get you one if you need one.

I am going to kill him.

It wasn't me late letting them know, they were late calling me to find out what was going on.

I would have thought he would have sorted the transport out for us,

rather than leaving us to sort it out ourselves.

They will have just been like, "We'll get the girls to drive."

Aware that the wedding's tomorrow,

the girls pack their outfits and head off for the hen party.

But three hours of travelling isn't proving to be that much fun.

I am so tired. I'm fed up of travelling and Samaya's driving.

We're at the hotel.

-Hello.

-Hello. Good afternoon, welcome to the Crown Hotel.

Thank you.

-Have you had a safe journey?

-Yes, it was interesting.

-Good.

Ever thoughtful Chris

decides to get the girls an extra last-minute treat.

There's going to be a maximum cap limit on this of £100,

that we're going to put in towards it,

but I think that should be more than enough, to be honest with you.

It's to be delivered.

And the girls have glammed themselves up especially for the occasion.

Hope it's going to be a good night.

It does feel a bit more like hen do now.

Must be something we don't know about.

PHONE RINGS

Hi, Chris.

-Samaya, hello, my dear. Are you all right?

-I'm all right, love. How are you?

Not bad, not bad at all. Basically, we're going to give you a number for a Chinese takeaway in a second.

He's getting us a takeaway.

We're putting 100 quid behind the till so that you guys can basically just get whatever you want.

-'A Chinese?'

-Yeah.

And it'll be delivered there and you can just have a girls night in

and basically eat Chinese food.

Lovely.

Takeaway at yours?

'We're getting a takeaway. But it's not even ordered.'

We've got to go on Just Eat, which we can't, because we've got no signal or laptop.

THEY LAUGH

I don't really understand why we've come so far for a takeaway.

I just want to cry.

I think that the sentiment was there, just not the planning, really.

Corrine is may still have faith in Chris, but her bridesmaids are close to mutiny.

If it was me, I would've killed him.

And I think that when we got here, they just expected everything to be sorted.

But, typical Chris, of course, he had to leave things to the last minute.

Even from the beginning she's just been totally besotted by him.

And this could've gone worse than what it has,

yet Chris would still be her number one.

Like we said, she's his number one fan and she will always be.

I'd like to think that Chris knows...

Knows me well enough to know, you know, which buttons you don't press.

And unless he, you know, really does find something that really irritates me or really upsets me,

it's unlikely that I will at any point think,

"Oh, I can't do this," and get stressed out and snap.

It would take something pretty drastic.

Let's hope the wedding tomorrow is more sweet than sour.

It's my wedding day. I'm excited.

I'm getting married!

# If you go down in the woods today... #

The big day's finally arrived. With only five hours to go,

the fairy dust still needs to be sprinkled on Chris's woodland wedding.

No-o-o!

-Here we go, here we go, here we go.

-Yeah.

Just get it to a position where it's sturdy on the ground.

The plan is for all the wedding guests to enter through a Narnia-inspired wardrobe

Chris's mates are on hand to help,

but only he knows exactly what he wants for his Wonderland vision.

Ouch!

This is the massive Alice In Wonderland "Drink me" bottle.

Slowly but surely, it is all coming together, yes.

Two massive toadstools.

Perfect, absolutely perfect!

Across the border at her hotel,

the usually unflappable bride IS starting to flap.

Right now, I feel really suddenly very anxious. Kind of nauseous.

I still don't know if when we leave today we've got a long journey.

I don't know what time the ceremony is or what's going on.

I haven't got the foggiest.

I don't even have any shoes.

We don't know how we're getting there.

We've got all of our stuff here, so I assume we're driving there.

Yeah, so we're just in limbo, again. Thanks, Chris.

The thing is, I know with Chris there's always method in his madness,

and they've got no reason to think that.

They've got no reason to trust him like I do.

It's like, is it a secret or does nobody know? Have they not decided yet?

I've just got faith in him. I just hope he proves me right.

But with less than half an hour to go, is Corrine's unswerving faith misplaced?

Everything is a bit behind schedule as it took longer to get the stuff up in the woods than we thought.

But we're all getting dressed. What time are we on now? Christ, it's 2.35.

I'm getting married in 25 minutes! Come on, lets go!

-Corrine.

-Say that again, darling.

-Do you have any shoes?

No, I don't have any. It's the one thing I don't have.

What are you going to wear?

I don't know. You know what Chris is like, he'll be doing something dramatic.

-I don't think he'll have forgotten about them. He better not have!

-Like that food?

-You got the shoes?

-Of course I have!

-Thank God for that! We thought we'd lost them.

In the woods, Mad Hatter Chris is now running really late for a very important date.

I don't know where the chest is, Matt. I don't know.

Right, there are my rings.

They are CDs because we haven't had a chance to burn them yet.

That's my marriage certificate. I need to keep this on me at all times from now on.

Three o'clock, three o'clock, three o'clock.

There's a spare bag, Chris. Rubbish bag.

Corrine's still waiting to go to the ball,

but where are her glass slippers?

How long will you leave it before finding out about your shoes?

-What if you don't get any shoes at all?

-I'll have to wear flip-flops then.

He won't have. He won't have forgotten shoes.

You seem very calm about it all, Corrine. I'd be an...

I'd be pacing this room screaming blue murder, wanting to kill him.

-I can't believe how trusting you are of him.

-You are so patient.

I need to be trusting with him. I've let him plan my wedding!

Now's not a good time to not trust him, is it?

Where are your shoes then?

3.05. We're not too far behind!

There's another picture I wanted to get. It's in Firth's car.

I'm all right, I'm all right.

At the hotel, Corrine's mum turns up to inspect the bridesmaids' outfits.

OK!

You all look REALLY unhappy.

It really, really, really could've been worse.

We had to go with what we'd got.

It was like eight o'clock at night in Meadowhall, all of us there,

all these different girls needing the same dress in different sizes,

or the same hot pants as we originally went for. It weren't happening.

I'm thinking, what was he thinking with denim hot pants?

He said, "I've got a vision for you, just go with me."

-None of it worked.

-There's method in his madness

and I know you don't all believe me when I say that.

-Has he drugged you or something?

-Just because I'm calm!

I can't understand how you can still be calm.

I'm just... I'm really... I don't know what to expect...

what's going to happen now.

After a grilling from her bridesmaids,

and shoeless on her wedding day, is Corrine's trust finally starting to waver?

I'm going to bring the guests down now.

-Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Wonderland! Follow me.

-GUESTS CHEER

Already an hour late, Corrine sets off for her wedding...

in her flip-flops.

-When you can't see them, it doesn't matter.

-You can't see them.

Do you know what Stu put out? The stuff from the room.

-Christina, we're going to sort this out.

-We'll sort it, don't worry.

Good luck.

-Ah-h!

-I got a couple of things from Chris to give to you.

But Prince Charming hasn't forgotten her shoes after all.

-Shoes.

-Look! Not flip-flops.

-Do you want to do it now?

CORRINE GIGGLES Thank you!

But he's not out of the woods yet.

HE CHUCKLES

THUNDER RUMBLES

And as the heavens open,

it's starting to look as if Chris's plan for an outdoor wedding

could be a woodland washout.

It said "Welcome to Scotland". We just crossed over.

-I did not know that.

-Just crossed over.

-Do you not need a passport? I have no idea.

I hope it's not outside now that it's chucking it down! Yeah.

-It's got a little bit damp in the rain!

-Thank you very much.

-Grab yourself a seat.

GUESTS CHATTER

The calm before the storm.

Or the calm before the sunshine, I mean.

Oh, come on, sun, just come out. Give us a break, man!

At least it's not torrential.

Nearly an hour and a half late, Corrine finally arrives.

HE BREATHES DEEPLY

Come on, you're all right.

Yeah, nearly stopped raining! Come on! Shine for a bit, you bastard!

It looks like Chris's luck is in, as his bride brings the sunshine.

Wow, look how bright it's just got for you! It must be a sign.

Welcome. If you want to follow me.

-God! Nervous, nervous, nervous.

-Must feel it now.

Not long now.

I can't stop giggling! SHE GIGGLES

OK, we're going through a wardrobe.

Stepping through the wardrobe, the bridal party are transported into their very own fairy-tale woodland.

Corrine wanted a pristine English country garden wedding,

but she's been whisked away to the rugged forests of Narnia.

-This is really beautiful, isn't it?

-I mean, Scotland.

Oh, look at this!

Oh, are you are joking?

I'm sensing a theme, obviously.

He's put a lot of thought into this.

He's thought about what you want, hasn't he?

I'm just really happy. It's all lovely.

As heavily pregnant Corrine waddles through the enchanted woodland,

Chris is left waiting even longer.

He's been such a busy bee!

-Wow!

-Is that a carousel?

This has to be the world's slowest bride on the world's longest aisle!

Lots of storybook feeling, isn't there?

It's like being... The Three Bears, look.

It's better than I ever could've imagined.

-Come on, come on.

-I've just seen the bridesmaids carrying a dress.

Unless there's another wedding going on, that's Corrine.

Chris has to take things to another level, doesn't he? And that's exactly what he's done.

I feel sick, I'm so nervous.

After three long weeks apart,

Chris can finally give Corrine her fairy-tale wedding.

Good afternoon.

Marriage is of course about partnership and sharing,

and it is less to do with perfection than with loving someone for who they really are.

Loving their faults as well as their virtues.

-I didn't mean to look at Chris for faults. Sorry!

-LAUGHTER

Story of my life!

They've now chosen to exchange their vows in the traditional manner.

-I, Chris, declare...

-I, Chris, declare...

..that I accept you, Corrine, as my legal wife.

..that I accept you, Corrine, as my legal wife.

-You are my whole world...

-And with you I am complete.

..and with you I am complete.

-I, Corrine, declare...

-I, Corrine, declare

-that I accept you, Chris...

-As my legal husband.

As my legal husband.

Chris, would you like to take the ring for Corrine?

I give you this ring as a symbol of my love.

I give you this ring as a symbol of my love.

-Please wear it always.

-Please wear it always...

-And when we are apart...

-Please look on it and think of me.

Please look on it and think of me.

It's now my very happy duty, Chris and Corrine,

to pronounce you husband and wife.

You might want to have a kiss

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

LAUGHTER It's different, it's crazy, it's wonderful,

but no-one could've expected this.

This is better than I ever could have expected. A million times better.

It's her own secret garden. It's even better than the venue we went on see before.

'It's amazing.'

I'm really, really sorry that we doubted him.

The whole thing that I had in my head of,

"It'll be worth it, cos next time I see her she she'll be my wife,"

and I just had to keep telling myself that over the last three weeks.

And the surprises don't end there.

No fairy-tale wedding is complete without a carriage.

Seriously?! You think I can get in that? In this?

-This is my wife.

-CORRINE GIGGLES

Corrine wanted an English tea party for her wedding reception,

but Chris organised a Scottish teepee party for his.

What will she make of his quirky plans?

-If the weather's nice, we're going to get these hay bales out here and get everybody sat round.

-Uh-huh.

But if the weather's inclement when we come to do the speeches, this is the roundhouse.

This sleeps 18 people as well, so this will be more for the party-harders.

This is our abode for the evening.

So I had the hotel last night and now I have a yurt tonight?

-Hello!

-Swept away by her Wonderland, Corrine doesn't seem bothered

by the dreaded hog roast.

And even the bridesmaids have been won over by Chris and his big kid's fairy-tale.

It's brilliant, like we all think it's amazing. We all love it.

It's just lovely to see it all sort of pay off today.

I cannot believe we're up a mountain and we've been in a forest.

I think we were all pretty shocked with what Chris came up with.

He's made her own little Wonderland.

So with the fairy-tale couple now married,

it's time for the last chapter of their big day.

'Ladies and gentleman, can I announce the new

'Mr and Mrs Adamson!'

-CHEERING

-Hello!

I'd like to introduce you all to someone - my wife!

CHEERING

# Rock it all night

# I sent a rocket to the globe

# Bomb the disco

# I filled it up with lovin' and I watch it explode... #

-Best man in title and best man in general.

-Thanks, man.

Thank you!

# Yeah! All right Can you feel it? #

On paper, sticking a very, very pregnant woman in the middle of a forest, you know...

-With composting toilets.

-Yeah, and walks between everything.

I wouldn't have done it, but you did, and now I'm really enjoying it.

-People will be talking about this for a long time.

-Exactly.

# Can you feel the lo-o-o-ove? This is love, this is love... #

I have faith, as stupid or crazy as whatever things may be when you do it, it always does tend to work out.

And I've been saying to people, you know, "Have faith. He's got a reason, there's method in his madness."

So part of me has been thinking,

"Please have method in his madness. Please let this work out." THEY LAUGH

# Can you feel the love? #

I'd say the last three weeks have been

without doubt the hardest three weeks of my life.

And that is not because you've got to plan a wedding,

and that is because I've got to be away from this wonderful woman.

But it's worth it, because now I can call you, not a wonderful woman,

not my girlfriend or even fiancee, but I can say, "This is my wife."

-Love you.

-I love you.

Next time, space cadet Anthony...

One small step for a man, one giant leap for wedding planning.

..wants to give his fashionable fiancee...

I had these before Kate Middleton's.

-..a wedding that is out of this world.

-Smells like a wedding.

-Will she get the day she deserves...

-You expect me to marry this guy?

..or will this geek's plans...

Everybody loves lasers. Grandma used to say that.

-..for their big day...

-I can't even talk about it, I'm so excited!

-..go up in smoke?

-You might have to lift up his visor

-to say "I do."

-Something wrong with him, isn't there?

# Tonight

# We are young

# So I set the world on fire

# We can burn brighter

# Than the su-u-un

# Tonight... #
