0:00:04 > 0:00:07Don't Tell The Bride is back for a wintry Christmas special...

0:00:07 > 0:00:10I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss.

0:00:10 > 0:00:13..as chilled out Darren gets ?12,000 and three weeks...

0:00:13 > 0:00:16Mum always said I'd be a princess one day.

0:00:16 > 0:00:18..to organise a festive wedding...

0:00:18 > 0:00:21We've even got, like, Christmas style trees outside.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23..his bride-to-be, Bronte, will never forget.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25Darren!

0:00:25 > 0:00:26GIRLS SCREAM

0:00:26 > 0:00:29But with a snowy ceremony abroad...

0:00:29 > 0:00:32I've never been on skis before!

0:00:32 > 0:00:35..this groom could end up on the naughty list.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37If this doesn't go right, it's going to be a disaster.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Is Darren on a slippery slope?

0:00:39 > 0:00:42I'm actually in shock.

0:00:42 > 0:00:43No!

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Will Bronte even make it to her wedding?

0:00:46 > 0:00:49I'm getting married in five hours and now I might not be able to go.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53Or are this groom's wedding plans totally taking the piste?!

0:00:53 > 0:00:55This could well and truly ruin the weekend.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57It could ruin whole wedding, yeah.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14Cambridge couple Bronte and Darren met four years ago

0:01:14 > 0:01:17when she came round to his parents' house to see his sister.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19I always remember my mum saying, "When you get older, Darren,

0:01:19 > 0:01:22"your sister's going to bring round all these gorgeous girls.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25Then sure enough, when you came round, I just remember seeing

0:01:25 > 0:01:29this good-looking girl on the sofa, thinking, "She's pretty striking.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31"But she really knows that she's quite good-looking

0:01:31 > 0:01:33"and she seems quite arrogant,"

0:01:33 > 0:01:36so I thought, "She's probably a bit out of my league, though, really."

0:01:36 > 0:01:40Even now my friends say that I'm batting well above my average.

0:01:40 > 0:01:44Then just 17, charity worker Bronte was four years Darren's junior,

0:01:44 > 0:01:47but he had just the recipe to win her over.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51I thought, "This is my opportunity," and you said, "I'm hungry."

0:01:51 > 0:01:54I went into the kitchen and you made me a cheese sandwich.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Bit of grated cheddar and the rest is pretty much history.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59So, Darren's cheesy pulling technique worked.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02But just as the love birds were getting close,

0:02:02 > 0:02:04they were forced to spend some time apart.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07Two weeks into our relationship, Darren got on a boat and left me.

0:02:07 > 0:02:08Two weeks in.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11I left to go and be a seasonaire in Switzerland.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12Like a ski instructor.

0:02:12 > 0:02:16Not a ski instructor! Basically... You have to be qualified

0:02:16 > 0:02:19to be a ski instructor! It's not a ski instructor.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23So yeah, I left, Bronte and my mum at Dover, as I went... Crying.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27Both of us crying. So I was supposed to be out in Switzerland for

0:02:27 > 0:02:31four months, I think it was. And when you came back, a month and a half

0:02:31 > 0:02:34you were out there. I think it didn't help missing me.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37Yeah. Missing his family. I wasn't really missing my family.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40I was just missing you. Just me? Yeah, I was.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42And Darren's job in Switzerland also meant they missed

0:02:42 > 0:02:44their first Christmas together.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48I want to do this wedding so that she can experience

0:02:48 > 0:02:50our first Christmas all over again.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53But together, as a married couple.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Recreate the Christmas that we missed.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Three years into their relationship, purchasing manager Darren

0:02:58 > 0:03:01popped the question in the grounds of a local stately home.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Bronte's response was...well... different.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06I was down on one knee, I pulled the box out.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09I said I felt sick. You started crying. Started crying.

0:03:09 > 0:03:14I swore quite a bit at him. Quite a lot of emotions all in one

0:03:14 > 0:03:17for you to bear with. Way to give a man self-doubt, though!

0:03:17 > 0:03:19But it would've been boring if I'd have said yes.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23To be perfectly honest, it's not really how I envisaged it.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27And unsurprisingly, handing over her Christmas wedding to Darren

0:03:27 > 0:03:31hasn't exactly left Bronte feeling jolly.

0:03:31 > 0:03:36Darren's organisational skills are rubbish. He's useless.

0:03:36 > 0:03:37I do the weekly shop.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40I... Make my lunch. Make your lunch.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43I get him out of bed. I organise you.

0:03:43 > 0:03:48Bronte and her family regard me as this lazy person who doesn't

0:03:48 > 0:03:52really do much around the house and doesn't really do a great deal.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55So I kind of want to prove to them that I'm quite capable of doing

0:03:55 > 0:03:58other things and I'm not just lazy and I'm not useless.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01But Darren will need to prove he's more than just capable,

0:04:01 > 0:04:04as this bride knows exactly what she wants.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06No, not like that!

0:04:06 > 0:04:09My wedding day is really important to me.

0:04:09 > 0:04:16I want it to be small, classy, intimate, romantic, calm.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19If family's all there, that's all that matters.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23If it was cold, dirty, raining, it would be disgusting,

0:04:23 > 0:04:27it wouldn't be me and I'd feel urgh!

0:04:27 > 0:04:30Darren's plans, however, are somewhat more adventurous.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32I've got this great idea.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35It's nothing at all like what Bronte's going to expect,

0:04:35 > 0:04:39or her family or anyone. It's going to be cold, it's going to be icy,

0:04:39 > 0:04:43it's going to be at altitude. It's going to be fast-paced.

0:04:43 > 0:04:48In that moment she's going to be experiencing adrenaline, rush, panic,

0:04:48 > 0:04:53fear, excitement altogether in one mix, right in here as well.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56So, yeah, she's got a lot coming for her.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59People are not going to know what's round the corner,

0:04:59 > 0:05:02and it's definitely going to be different, that's for sure.

0:05:02 > 0:05:07But for home lover Bronte, there is only one place to get married.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10If I could choose where I wanted my wedding, my dream wedding would be

0:05:10 > 0:05:12somewhere that had a history to my family,

0:05:12 > 0:05:14in Cambridge.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Bronte might be hoping to stay close to home,

0:05:16 > 0:05:19but Darren wants to broaden her horizons.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22I think with Cambridge you're pretty limited to what you can do.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25You've got a couple of hotels and a registry office.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27Bar that, there's nothing else.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30I will do something that nobody knows what's going to happen,

0:05:30 > 0:05:33what to expect. And let's take her away from her comfort zone.

0:05:35 > 0:05:40It's also a good opportunity for me to prove to you that you can trust

0:05:40 > 0:05:43me more and I am capable of other things, and I think...

0:05:43 > 0:05:47You haven't done the wedding yet, so we'll wait. Yeah. I know.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51All I can think about, getting married - scary,

0:05:51 > 0:05:54and Darren being in charge of it...

0:05:55 > 0:05:56Terrifying.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Oh, God, he might get it wrong.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10It's time for Bronte and Darren to say goodbye.

0:06:10 > 0:06:14You've, like, packed for every season under the sun. That one.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18In the last three years, they've spent just two nights apart.

0:06:18 > 0:06:22Are you OK? I don't want you to go any more. It's only three weeks.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26I'll miss you. You'll be fine. It'll be all right.

0:06:26 > 0:06:30Give me a cuddle. Come on, up. Give me a cuddle. You'll be fine.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Bronte will spend the next three weeks back with her parents

0:06:35 > 0:06:38at their family home in Cambridgeshire.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43Remember, it's not "goodbye." It's "See you later."

0:06:43 > 0:06:44Don't fuck it up.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50Take care. Love you with all my heart. See you in a few weeks.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52All right, my angel?

0:06:54 > 0:06:55Drive safely.

0:07:00 > 0:07:01I love you. You'll be fine.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18It really pains me when I see Bronte cry.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20It hits me right in the heart.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23In three weeks, hopefully it's all going to be worth it

0:07:23 > 0:07:27and hopefully she's going to really enjoy the day and...

0:07:27 > 0:07:30it'll make all the pain that she's felt now worthwhile.

0:07:32 > 0:07:37Bronte is welcomed home by her closest family, dad Ivan,

0:07:37 > 0:07:39mum Jordis and sister Elsbeth.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Oh, sweetie!

0:07:42 > 0:07:45Come on, Bronte. You'll make me cry now.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51I feel slightly better now I'm home with my mum and dad and sister.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54But still very strange.

0:07:56 > 0:08:00It'll be worth it in the end. It better be worth it in the end.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Three weeks, it'll go fast.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Yeah, I hope so.

0:08:08 > 0:08:13# Lights will guide you home... #

0:08:18 > 0:08:20It's the first day of wedding planning,

0:08:20 > 0:08:24and Darren has enlisted two of his best mates to help organise

0:08:24 > 0:08:30Bronte's dream day - identical twins and joint best men, Dan and Ben.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32We're so excited to move in with Darren.

0:08:32 > 0:08:33The boys back together finally!

0:08:34 > 0:08:37The boys have been inseparable for 12 years.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40Darren can even tell them apart and everything.

0:08:40 > 0:08:41Hello, boys! Hello, you.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44I think Bronte's got a right to be concerned about us living together.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47We won't corrupt Darren too much hopefully.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50She'd have full faith in us in organising.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53But this is a holiday. Oh, one either side!

0:08:53 > 0:08:57Twin sandwich! It's a sandwich. It's what dreams are made of.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Dealing with the pressure? We're here now. Yeah, I know.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03I'm glad. We're going to work hard.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Make sure Bronte gets what she wants. Well, what we want for it.

0:09:08 > 0:09:09With the twins on board,

0:09:09 > 0:09:13Darren can't wait another minute to share his festive wedding plans.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16Darren's going to come up with something absolutely mental,

0:09:16 > 0:09:18I think. Something crazy. To be honest, it could be anything.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21I have no idea. Boys, we're going to Switzerland!

0:09:21 > 0:09:23Why? We're going back to Saas-Fee, boys.

0:09:23 > 0:09:27I'm going to be doing Christmas there. And we're going to put Bronte

0:09:27 > 0:09:29and her bridesmaids on skis, too.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Bronte's being skiing once, right?

0:09:31 > 0:09:34In Milton Keynes. Exactly. This, I...

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Darren... It's going to end in disaster, isn't it?

0:09:37 > 0:09:40I can understand, you know, she'll be falling over in salopettes,

0:09:40 > 0:09:42but skiing in a wedding dress...

0:09:42 > 0:09:45That's where you two boys come in. You can just prop her up.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47And, the other thing is, we're going tomorrow.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50How long for? Two nights, three days.

0:09:50 > 0:09:51Are we going to get the chance to ski? Yeah.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Get a chance to drink a few beers?

0:09:53 > 0:09:56It'd be rude not to, wouldn't it? Totally, mate.

0:09:56 > 0:10:00So skiing, then. For a bride who can't really ski.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Oblivious to his wintry plans,

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Bronte's family have concerns of their own.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08How likely do you think Darren will be to pull off the dream wedding?

0:10:08 > 0:10:13My worst case scenario is that he'll forget to invite people,

0:10:13 > 0:10:15that the venue will be crap.

0:10:16 > 0:10:21And that, most importantly for me, he mucks up your wedding dress.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Will you be upset with him, Dad?

0:10:23 > 0:10:24I would be upset for you.

0:10:26 > 0:10:31The twins are... Are they helpful? They're helpful,

0:10:31 > 0:10:34but I think they go on the wrong... When I got engaged they wanted

0:10:34 > 0:10:38to set fireworks off in the day. But you can't see fireworks in the day.

0:10:38 > 0:10:39Exactly!

0:10:40 > 0:10:44Hopefully when the boys come around he thinks, actually, it's not

0:10:44 > 0:10:48a game, it's our wedding day, and I hope the boys help him with that

0:10:48 > 0:10:53and don't kind of think it's a party and let's relax now cos I'm gone.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55They wouldn't do that - would they?

0:10:58 > 0:11:03Two days and 750 miles later, our three wise men have arrived

0:11:03 > 0:11:06in Saas-Fee and they're ready and raring to hit the slopes.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Look at the weather today. It's beautiful.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10The sun's shining.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13We'll go see if we can hire some skis and some boards.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16Down the mountain. Should be good. And some organising as well!

0:11:16 > 0:11:18We need to do some wedding organising at some point as well.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20That probably wouldn't be a bad idea!

0:11:20 > 0:11:24There's no time like the present, so the boys get straight to work,

0:11:24 > 0:11:27sorting that classic wedding essential - ski hire.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33We need to hire two sets of skis and a board for today. Yeah.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36For us to go up to the glacier.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40And we also need to arrange to hire two sets of skis for the wedding day.

0:11:40 > 0:11:44OK. On the wedding day, the plan is to get the bride

0:11:44 > 0:11:48and the bridesmaid to ski down the glacier after the wedding ceremony.

0:11:48 > 0:11:52And Darren's keen to make sure novice skier Bronte looks her best

0:11:52 > 0:11:55as she's tearing, face first, down the side of a mountain.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59Guido, also, the boots, for the wedding day, do you have any

0:11:59 > 0:12:01white boots? For your wife?

0:12:01 > 0:12:05Exactly. Yes. Because it needs to go with the dress.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08Yeah, so more or less white.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11That'd be perfect. That'll go really well with the dress.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14At the end of the day, we'd have paid so much more for actual shoes.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Definitely! Save some money there.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19We've got value for money. Not only can she wear them going down,

0:12:19 > 0:12:21she can wear them at the ceremony.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23We've saved ourselves some cash. We have. Definitely.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25We've done well. Good job, I reckon.

0:12:25 > 0:12:29Wow! Wedding shoes that are practical and economical.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31Every girl's dream(!)

0:12:33 > 0:12:37Ski gear sorted, the boys head up the mountain to hit the slopes.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40Oh - and check out a venue for the wedding ceremony

0:12:40 > 0:12:42while they're there. What a great way to start a wedding.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46There's not many wedding arrivals that you get when you're travelling

0:12:46 > 0:12:49up from 1,800 to 3,500, is there?

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Darren's thinking of getting married in an ice grotto

0:12:52 > 0:12:54at the top of a mountain. The good news is,

0:12:54 > 0:12:57it's right beside the very best slopes.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00The bad news is, it's at the top of a mountain!

0:13:00 > 0:13:02I don't know what Bronte's going to expect

0:13:02 > 0:13:04when she's coming up here. I think she'll be having

0:13:04 > 0:13:06a bit of a panic attack. Not only is she going to be

0:13:06 > 0:13:10in a wedding dress, she's going to have ski boots on, not wedding shoes.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12So I think she's in for a bit of a shock.

0:13:13 > 0:13:18Heading 2km above resort level, the boys take a cable car,

0:13:18 > 0:13:20and then another cable car,

0:13:20 > 0:13:22and they've still got a mountain to climb!

0:13:22 > 0:13:25One more to ride now, guys. Just the funicular. Jesus Christ.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28I know. I think Bronte will probably be feeling the same

0:13:28 > 0:13:30on the day. It's a long journey.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33And I'm just thinking from the point of view of the actual bride,

0:13:33 > 0:13:37she's going to be coming up these three, in her wedding dress, she'll be cold.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40But it's a pilgrimage, mate. She's making that commitment

0:13:40 > 0:13:44to get to the top of the mountain to be with me. All good things to people who wait.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47Back in the UK, a blissfully unaware Bronte's dream venue

0:13:47 > 0:13:50is just a few miles from her home,

0:13:50 > 0:13:52and at ground level.

0:13:52 > 0:13:58We can go up here, my dress, take photos.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01It's just stunning, isn't it? It's got everything.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03She's taken mum and bridesmaid Lora

0:14:03 > 0:14:06to see Downing College in Cambridge, one of ten colleges

0:14:06 > 0:14:09at Cambridge University where the public can get married.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12I mean, this is like the perfect place to get married.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15You couldn't get more Cambridge than getting married in a college.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17And for you, it means so much to you.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20Yeah. I think living in Cambridge is in your blood, isn't it?

0:14:20 > 0:14:23It means something, to me, it's close to home,

0:14:23 > 0:14:26somewhere I can always come when I'm older.

0:14:26 > 0:14:31I don't like the idea of travelling hours to have a ceremony.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34I always get bored travelling at weddings.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37Oh, dear. At least Darren doesn't get bored by travelling.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42Which is just as well, because he's still not made it up that mountain.

0:14:44 > 0:14:48This is the final ascent. I think now I don't know what to expect either.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51I've never actually been to the ice grotto before. What?

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Never been there at all? No.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56Why have you shipped us all the way out to Switzerland

0:14:56 > 0:14:59to see something for the first time? It was worth the risk, definitely.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Let's hope so. Yeah. I hope so too.

0:15:01 > 0:15:02Right, moment of truth.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05I've kind of put my eggs all in one basket.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07I really have wholeheartedly committed to this.

0:15:07 > 0:15:12If this doesn't go right, it's going to be a disaster. Absolute disaster.

0:15:13 > 0:15:18A 2km climb up the mountain and the boys have finally reached

0:15:18 > 0:15:21the site of Darren's snowy ceremony venue.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24It's so Christmassy. So Christmassy.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26It's absolutely stunning, Darren.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31Wow. That is absolutely amazing.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34It takes your breath away. Yeah. It does.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36What could be more romantic than this? Look at the roof.

0:15:36 > 0:15:40I know, look at the roof. It's incredible. The ceiling is so cool.

0:15:40 > 0:15:45It looks like feathers. Look at the altar. The altar is actually ice.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48We're going to have to make sure Bronte's dress covers her up

0:15:48 > 0:15:50cos it's pretty cold in here. Very cold.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52I don't know the temperature, but it's cold.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55All that travelling seems worthwhile. Definitely.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57The only thing we need to do, probably,

0:15:57 > 0:16:01while we're here, is to test run it. Darren, Bronte.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss.

0:16:06 > 0:16:10No, boys, I said kiss. This is the best day of my life!

0:16:10 > 0:16:13Oh, crap! You're my hero!

0:16:14 > 0:16:19But Darren might not be Bronte's hero when she finds out his plan.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21If her dream venue is anything go by,

0:16:21 > 0:16:24she won't be so much "off piste" as "piste off."

0:16:24 > 0:16:25SHE GASPS

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Lor, it's beautiful. Oh, my God, Bronte!

0:16:30 > 0:16:33It's warm, isn't it? Look at the high ceilings.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35I love the high ceilings.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38I think it would be so special to have everyone here

0:16:38 > 0:16:43and everyone sitting together and me and him at the top.

0:16:43 > 0:16:47This has got big grand windows. It's not over the top.

0:16:47 > 0:16:51It's really free and it doesn't feel like you're closed in.

0:16:51 > 0:16:55You won't be stuck in a room, a tiny room. Really dark, dingy room.

0:16:56 > 0:17:00What's going on in your head, babe? I don't want to cry!

0:17:02 > 0:17:08I'm sad because I don't think he's going to get it.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11And it's so beautiful, it means so much.

0:17:11 > 0:17:15And I just think it would be perfect for us both to be here.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19And you don't think he'll get it? No, I don't think he'll get it.

0:17:19 > 0:17:24I hope he gets it but I think I've now come to the realisation

0:17:24 > 0:17:26he probably won't get it.

0:17:26 > 0:17:30'I think for Bronte it's hit home that she doesn't have any say

0:17:30 > 0:17:32'in this wedding at all.'

0:17:32 > 0:17:35Darren's going to choose everything. She's just going to turn up

0:17:35 > 0:17:37and get married.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39And it's probably not going to be in a college!

0:17:39 > 0:17:43Probably not. It looks like it's going to be in a cave made of ice.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46But don't worry - he hasn't even booked it yet.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49And after a hectic morning, the boys have decided to take

0:17:49 > 0:17:50some time off.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56As they hit the slopes, Darren's confident things won't

0:17:56 > 0:18:00go downhill when novice skier Bronte sees where she's getting married.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04I'm not too sure how Bronte's going to enjoy it.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07She's done a basic snowplough at Milton Keynes.

0:18:07 > 0:18:11And that first slope's pretty steep. It's a minor issue.

0:18:11 > 0:18:12Minor detail.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20I'm sorry, Darren.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Oh! Cheeky.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Back down at the bottom of the mountain,

0:18:24 > 0:18:28Darren finally tries to strike a deal on the festive grotto.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30A fixed price for the ice pavilion...

0:18:31 > 0:18:35And this is 800 Swiss Francs. HE WHISTLES

0:18:35 > 0:18:36Wow.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40So that's almost ?600 to hire the grotto just for the ceremony.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43But with the reception and catering still to book,

0:18:43 > 0:18:45Darren's worried the price is too high.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48Is there nothing you can do on the price?

0:18:48 > 0:18:50Perhaps we can handle something.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53But I have to discuss this with the director himself. OK.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56'It's just a shame, not getting a price. It's not confirmed yet.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58'It would have been a good way to wrap up today.'

0:18:58 > 0:19:01It doesn't mean we shouldn't go for a drink today, does it?

0:19:02 > 0:19:06Clearly not. Looks like it's time to get merry.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12Good to be with you boys - skiing in the sun.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14We blew off some steam.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16I think more of the same to come, really. Oh, yeah!

0:19:18 > 0:19:21I think even though times have changed,

0:19:21 > 0:19:23we just pick up from where we left off. Of course.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26That's what's great about friendship. When you're such close friends,

0:19:26 > 0:19:28it just gels as it was. Yeah.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35And we've just got to party the night away tonight. No worries.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Forget about the whole wedding planning thing.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41Then tomorrow... Back on it. Let's hug it out, boys.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44Awww, yeah. Good work, team, good work, team.

0:19:55 > 0:19:56The morning after -

0:19:56 > 0:20:01and wedding planning is the last thing on delicate Darren's mind.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04I'm not a... He's a broken man.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06I am a broken man.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09It was a good pre-stag night out.

0:20:09 > 0:20:14My stomach literally feels like...like it's doing gymnastics.

0:20:14 > 0:20:18But we've actually got to go and sort out the rest of the wedding today.

0:20:18 > 0:20:19Well, some more of it.

0:20:22 > 0:20:23I don't know if I'm match fit.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26Probably cos you haven't drunk for the last four years.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Yeah, that could be another issue.

0:20:28 > 0:20:32It's 11am, and with the ice grotto confirmed for a discounted ?480,

0:20:32 > 0:20:35the boys force themselves out of bed to check out the chalets

0:20:35 > 0:20:38Darren wants for his reception venue and accommodation.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43Wow! This is... This is it, Darren.

0:20:43 > 0:20:48That's perfect. Sold, boys. Look at that little log fire, the brick work.

0:20:48 > 0:20:51I could really envisage making this a Christmas type theme.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54You've even got Christmas style trees outside. Exactly.

0:20:54 > 0:20:57It comes down to price at the end of the day, doesn't it?

0:20:57 > 0:21:00Darren wants to book two chalets - one to house Bronte

0:21:00 > 0:21:01and her close family,

0:21:01 > 0:21:03and the other will double as the reception venue

0:21:03 > 0:21:05and Darren's base with the twins.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08We'd like to find out what pricing you can offer us

0:21:08 > 0:21:10because ultimately we've got a very tight budget.

0:21:10 > 0:21:16The chalet is 1,500 Swiss Francs per night. Per night? OK. So...

0:21:16 > 0:21:21For both? No, just for one. ?3,000 a night...

0:21:21 > 0:21:23It's going to be 6,000 Swiss Francs.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26Would you come down to 4,000?

0:21:26 > 0:21:28Please! Yeah, we can do that.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31Thank you so much. That's so kind of you.

0:21:31 > 0:21:35Darren's booked two chalets for ?2,800,

0:21:35 > 0:21:37so he can head home with a ceremony venue,

0:21:37 > 0:21:41reception and, most importantly, wedding shoes all sorted.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45Back in Cambridge and it's the start of the second week.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48Bronte's visiting a high-end wedding boutique to show her mum

0:21:48 > 0:21:50and Lora her perfect dress.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53Mind your head.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56Hello. Hiya. Nice to meet you.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59I'm the bride, Bronte. Good to meet you.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01It's Bronte's first time in a wedding shop.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04And true to form, she's proving hard to please.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07That's too high neck. I don't like that.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09The boob tube.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12Oh. You'd wear it to bed.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14That is like a nightie!

0:22:15 > 0:22:18These have got loads of bling.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21I don't know if I'd even be able to pick out a dress for you

0:22:21 > 0:22:23and I've known you for almost 20 years.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Disgusting.

0:22:25 > 0:22:30My grandma would wear that. That looks like it's in a charity shop.

0:22:30 > 0:22:35Nobody would wear that. B, I don't think you can be that picky. I can!

0:22:35 > 0:22:38But if you put it on I think it will look completely different,

0:22:38 > 0:22:40like they said, it looks so different off the hanger.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43Every dress has something wrong with it at the moment.

0:22:43 > 0:22:47It's got to be perfect, Darren Graver, wherever you are!

0:22:49 > 0:22:53Across Cambridgeshire, Darren's also out dress shopping, and keen

0:22:53 > 0:22:57to find a dress to perfectly suit his bride, he's come up with a plan.

0:22:57 > 0:22:58Meet Brontelina.

0:23:00 > 0:23:01Hello. Hello.

0:23:01 > 0:23:06That's an interesting guest. This is Bronte's twin sister.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08Right. It's the better looking version!

0:23:10 > 0:23:14She's also quieter as well, so gives me less trouble, calls out less

0:23:14 > 0:23:17demands around the house. So hopefully she's going to help us

0:23:17 > 0:23:19find a dress today.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22With Brontelina looking on, Darren starts choosing dresses.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24This looks all right down here, guys.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26I really like that one.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29It's quite thick. It would be quite warm.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31Good bit of insulation on it.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33I wouldn't rule that one out.

0:23:33 > 0:23:37Much less fussy than Bronte, Darren's got a mountain of dresses

0:23:37 > 0:23:39to check out, and the perfect way to model them.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42# That's what makes you beautiful. #

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Park yourselves down and let the show begin!

0:23:48 > 0:23:53I'll tell you what, that face actually helps. It does! It helps!

0:23:53 > 0:23:55I'm not feeling it. I think it's just too average.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58Definitely a thumbs down, Bronte. That is out of the running.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02I think that's a straight out no.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08I like that, I think it's just a bit too much.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11It has got sleeves as well, though. Nice back.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13It's a really nice back.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15I'm not feeling that one.

0:24:15 > 0:24:19Bronte would just be like, "It's not me. You can't make me wear that."

0:24:19 > 0:24:21I think that's nice.

0:24:21 > 0:24:25What's the back like, guys? Yeah, that is nice.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27Definitely have to see it on someone first.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30Yeah, we have to see it on someone. I think that was definitely

0:24:30 > 0:24:33?14 well spent of our budget. Definitely. On the inflatable woman.

0:24:33 > 0:24:36While Brontelina's tried on enough dresses to fill a couple

0:24:36 > 0:24:40of Santa's sacks, there's only one dress for the real Bronte.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43I've got butterflies in my stomach. I know - same!

0:24:46 > 0:24:49Oh, wow. You look really beautiful.

0:24:49 > 0:24:53I really like it. I love it.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55Oh, it's so...Hollywood.

0:24:55 > 0:24:59I feel quite elegant and sophisticated.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01I feel like a bride.

0:25:02 > 0:25:06I love the high neck, I like the back, straight down

0:25:06 > 0:25:09it's got all the details, can you see the little flowers?

0:25:09 > 0:25:11I know. What do you think, Bronte?

0:25:11 > 0:25:14Do you think Darren will pick something like this?

0:25:14 > 0:25:17I don't think he would pick something like this.

0:25:17 > 0:25:22I had no idea, all of the dresses I thought I'd like I didn't like.

0:25:22 > 0:25:26So how is someone meant to pick me a dress with not seeing it on?

0:25:26 > 0:25:29It would be difficult to go from this to a horrible dress.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32What would you actually do, though? I wouldn't wear it.

0:25:32 > 0:25:34It wouldn't be the dress I'd want to wear.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37And he would have picked the wrong choice.

0:25:37 > 0:25:41I hope he takes every step he does, the wedding dress, the venue,

0:25:41 > 0:25:44really seriously. If I can see he's messing around

0:25:44 > 0:25:48and had a laugh doing it and is taking it for a joyride,

0:25:48 > 0:25:50then I'd be really disappointed.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53I'd be heartbroken.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55It's not the time to fuck around.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57He wouldn't, would he?

0:25:57 > 0:25:58I don't feel sexy, Darren!

0:25:58 > 0:26:00MUSIC: "Dude Looks Like A Lady" by Aerosmith

0:26:00 > 0:26:04Wow! He looks like the Frog Princess!

0:26:04 > 0:26:07I feel...good.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09WOMAN: He's loving it!

0:26:12 > 0:26:13I think it's really nice.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16I wish there was a little bit of sparkle in it.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18That one's got shed loads of sparkle.

0:26:18 > 0:26:22So, it's a choice between Ben's blingy dress with sleeves

0:26:22 > 0:26:26and Dan's fitted lace dress without.

0:26:26 > 0:26:27As a very good friend as Ben is,

0:26:27 > 0:26:30he's not the right shape for a wedding dress.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33I think if you want to see this one on properly...

0:26:33 > 0:26:36Try it myself. Yeah, it maybe needs to be you.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38I do think Darren should put it on.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41Get me out of this thing!

0:26:41 > 0:26:43MUSIC: "Man! I Fell Like A Woman!" by Shania Twain

0:26:45 > 0:26:48Mum always said I'd be a princess one day.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50I think one good thing about this one is

0:26:50 > 0:26:55the fact that it will be warmer. Is it too sparkly? No. It's not. No.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58Because the sparkles only come out a little bit.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00So are we going to go with this?

0:27:00 > 0:27:02You look stunning, Darren. Thank you.

0:27:02 > 0:27:07So for ?1,200, Darren's bagged himself a full-length sparkly dress

0:27:07 > 0:27:09covered in all the bling that Bronte didn't want.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13With Bronte's dress sorted,

0:27:13 > 0:27:17Darren books a registrar to perform the ceremony in Saas-Fee.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19Thank you very much for your time, Linda.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22He then heads out on a Christmas shopping spree.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25Red and white, it's the colour scheme of this season, I'm thinking.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27Keen to recreate the Christmas they spent apart,

0:27:27 > 0:27:31he spends ?250 on Christmas decorations.

0:27:31 > 0:27:32Right, then. That'll do us.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34?300 on wedding rings.

0:27:34 > 0:27:38Brilliant. We've got ourselves a deal. Thank you very much.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40?400 on suit hire.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43Feels weird. You look dapper!

0:27:43 > 0:27:47And he's come up with a risky way to save money on the wedding cake.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49How many wedding cakes have you made before, Ben?

0:27:49 > 0:27:53I don't know, about 16, I think. No, I haven't actually made any before.

0:27:53 > 0:27:58It looks quite weird, the texture. It does. It looks like it's curdled.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01Arrrgggh!

0:28:01 > 0:28:03Hmm. Good luck with that, boys.

0:28:04 > 0:28:08It's the end of week two and Darren's sent Bronte to rainy

0:28:08 > 0:28:11Piccadilly Circus in London for a mystery hen do.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14GIRLS SCREAM

0:28:14 > 0:28:18Sadly, it's much colder than Bronte would've hoped.

0:28:18 > 0:28:20Well, start as you mean to go on.

0:28:20 > 0:28:23THEY SHRIEK AND GIGGLE

0:28:23 > 0:28:26Oh, my God, this is... This is horrible! Ridiculous!

0:28:26 > 0:28:28With the downpour over,

0:28:28 > 0:28:32ever romantic Darren's left directions on a Christmas card.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35"Head west onto Regent Street." That way.

0:28:35 > 0:28:40"Turn left onto Heddon Street. Arrive at destination.

0:28:40 > 0:28:43"Have a wonderful time. Love, Darren."

0:28:43 > 0:28:44THEY CHEER

0:28:46 > 0:28:49Oh, I don't want it to be bad, it's my hen do.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51It's the most... It's the lead up to the wedding

0:28:51 > 0:28:53and it's the first thing he's done

0:28:53 > 0:28:56and if it's shit, then what the fuck's the wedding going to be like?

0:28:56 > 0:29:00Now all the girls need is somewhere warm and toasty to dry off.

0:29:00 > 0:29:01I don't like how I'm cold already

0:29:01 > 0:29:05and Lora's saying it's an ice bar. It is, but you get coats.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07But I don't drink alcohol!

0:29:07 > 0:29:10I really don't think it's going to be the Ice Bar,

0:29:10 > 0:29:12cos I don't think it's Darren and Bronte's style.

0:29:12 > 0:29:15Bronte doesn't drink. She's not a party animal.

0:29:17 > 0:29:22I think I'm here for my hen do. What's the name? Er... Graver?

0:29:22 > 0:29:25Yeah, that's fine. Just have a seat in here.

0:29:25 > 0:29:27THEY CHEER

0:29:29 > 0:29:31# You're as cold as ice... #

0:29:31 > 0:29:35Are you excited to be here? Yeah, thrilled. But it's not really me.

0:29:35 > 0:29:37I don't drink alcohol.

0:29:37 > 0:29:40An ice bar is really nice. I just don't think it's Bronte.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45Oh, my God, it's freezing!

0:29:45 > 0:29:48Can I have two? I'm cold!

0:29:48 > 0:29:51Put your hood up, put your hood up!

0:29:51 > 0:29:55I don't drink, so I don't know why it's here.

0:29:55 > 0:29:56It's an alcohol bar,

0:29:56 > 0:30:00it's where you serve alcohol in the freezing cold.

0:30:00 > 0:30:01What would you recommend?

0:30:01 > 0:30:03THEY ALL TALK AT ONCE

0:30:03 > 0:30:06How many of you there are? For the bride!

0:30:06 > 0:30:08No... No! Nine.

0:30:08 > 0:30:13I was expecting the theatre, not this ice bar.

0:30:13 > 0:30:17It is fucking freezing! How do you get out?

0:30:17 > 0:30:21So Bronte definitely isn't a party animal. But Darren is.

0:30:21 > 0:30:24UP-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS

0:30:25 > 0:30:29Strictly speaking, he's more of a party zebra. Which is normal(!)

0:30:29 > 0:30:32I'm not that confident she's going to love it.

0:30:32 > 0:30:35I don't really know what she would love or what she would hate.

0:30:35 > 0:30:38I've just gone for something that would prepare her for what's to come.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41It's just thinking it out for her. I just thought,

0:30:41 > 0:30:45"I'll prepare her for these conditions.

0:30:45 > 0:30:47"And this is what I am going to do."

0:30:47 > 0:30:48ALL: Wahey!

0:30:55 > 0:30:57It's the start of week three

0:30:57 > 0:31:00and with the hen do her only clue to what Darren's been planning,

0:31:00 > 0:31:04Bronte is starting to worry about when and where her wedding will be.

0:31:04 > 0:31:06Obviously I'm stressed but...

0:31:06 > 0:31:09Most brides have the stress, have they completed stuff,

0:31:09 > 0:31:11have they got that done, have they got this done,

0:31:11 > 0:31:15and I'm stressing, thinking, "What the fuck is Darren doing?"

0:31:15 > 0:31:18It doesn't matter as long as you walk down the aisle

0:31:18 > 0:31:21and he's waiting there, I think that's all that matters.

0:31:23 > 0:31:26Oh, sweetheart. I'm sorry.

0:31:26 > 0:31:28I just want it to be over.

0:31:29 > 0:31:35It's so hard not saying good night or not texting or anything.

0:31:36 > 0:31:40I've tried to be brave but I've missed him so much.

0:31:45 > 0:31:48# Santa Claus is coming to town

0:31:48 > 0:31:50# Santa Claus is coming to town... #

0:31:50 > 0:31:53Three days to go to the big day and Darren's sent Bronte an early

0:31:53 > 0:31:56Christmas present, courtesy of best men, Santa and Rudolph.

0:31:57 > 0:32:01Oh, this is embarrassing. First the dress and now this!

0:32:02 > 0:32:05Let's make sure we get the right house, though!

0:32:05 > 0:32:06# Santa Claus is coming to town

0:32:06 > 0:32:10# Santa Claus is coming to town... #

0:32:11 > 0:32:14Why are YOU here?

0:32:14 > 0:32:17Your invite. Merry Christmas.

0:32:17 > 0:32:19What is it? I'm not saying. Is it breakable? No.

0:32:21 > 0:32:25I don't like how you've got those costumes. Bye!

0:32:25 > 0:32:28Worried Bronte will guess the wedding is somewhere cold,

0:32:28 > 0:32:32Darren's come up with a simple solution -

0:32:32 > 0:32:34fool her into thinking it's somewhere hot.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38Open it! Open it! It's squidgy.

0:32:41 > 0:32:43You are...

0:32:43 > 0:32:45How small do you think it's going to go?

0:32:45 > 0:32:47Getting married.

0:32:47 > 0:32:50..this week.

0:32:50 > 0:32:51And...

0:32:51 > 0:32:52THEY LAUGH

0:32:52 > 0:32:55And need... What are you going to need?

0:32:55 > 0:32:58What the...? Oh, my God, it's a bikini.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01Why the fuck is it a bikini?

0:33:01 > 0:33:07And it's disgusting. It can't be a fucking bikini! What does it say?

0:33:07 > 0:33:11Passport. So I need a bikini and a passport in Christmas?!

0:33:11 > 0:33:14Oh, my God, I thought it was going to be really romantic and it's not.

0:33:14 > 0:33:20Why a bikini? You don't go to places abroad. What the hell is he doing?

0:33:20 > 0:33:22But where's hot? Where's hot? Europe's still hot.

0:33:22 > 0:33:26DAD: Barbados, France. Southern Spain...

0:33:26 > 0:33:29Portugal, Greece. Let's go to Barbados, that would be cool.

0:33:29 > 0:33:32I'm freaking out. I want it to be in Cambridge.

0:33:32 > 0:33:37So everyone could come. Why would he send you away from Cambridge?

0:33:37 > 0:33:39Because he thought he was clever.

0:33:39 > 0:33:42It's not what I wanted, I didn't want to go abroad.

0:33:42 > 0:33:44I was fine not knowing,

0:33:44 > 0:33:48but now I know and it's not exactly what I want, I'm freaking out.

0:33:49 > 0:33:53With just two days to go until the wedding, picky Bronte

0:33:53 > 0:33:56is on her way to see the dress Darren has chosen for her.

0:33:56 > 0:33:58Oh... Oh, you can't get in.

0:33:58 > 0:33:59Hi.

0:33:59 > 0:34:03But still reeling from yesterday's wedding invitation,

0:34:03 > 0:34:05Bronte's on the warpath.

0:34:05 > 0:34:08If Darren gets it totally wrong, he'll just have to face the fact

0:34:08 > 0:34:11he's got it wrong and fork out for something different.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14I'm not wearing it at all.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16He can fuck off if he thinks I'm wearing it.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20So just through here.

0:34:20 > 0:34:24Is there any chance she'll like Darren's blingy choice?

0:34:26 > 0:34:27It makes me feel sick.

0:34:28 > 0:34:31Deep breaths, Mum. Come on.

0:34:32 > 0:34:34I don't want to look!

0:34:34 > 0:34:37If she doesn't like it, there's going to be trouble.

0:34:37 > 0:34:40There's going to be tears!

0:34:40 > 0:34:41The moment of truth.

0:34:50 > 0:34:51Oh, no, it's quite...

0:34:52 > 0:34:55Oh, it's beautiful. I don't know what to say. Oh, my God.

0:34:55 > 0:34:56That's my wedding dress.

0:34:56 > 0:35:00It's a little Christmas miracle - against the odds,

0:35:00 > 0:35:03Darren's picked a wedding dress that Bronte loves.

0:35:03 > 0:35:04Even with all the bling.

0:35:04 > 0:35:06Oh, my God, are you crying?

0:35:06 > 0:35:08Almost.

0:35:10 > 0:35:12No, he's done all right.

0:35:12 > 0:35:14Aw, that's for Darren!

0:35:16 > 0:35:19Well done, boys.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21Oh, can I put it on? Yeah.

0:35:24 > 0:35:26Oh, my God.

0:35:26 > 0:35:29Oh, my God, you look so beautiful.

0:35:29 > 0:35:31You look beautiful.

0:35:34 > 0:35:35Awww!

0:35:37 > 0:35:39You're not meant to cry.

0:35:39 > 0:35:42I like the shoulders. The sleeves are gorgeous.

0:35:42 > 0:35:45You look absolutely beautiful, Bront, and I'm very proud

0:35:45 > 0:35:47to be your sister. I'm just really happy.

0:35:47 > 0:35:51THEY LAUGH

0:35:51 > 0:35:54Oh, my God. There you go.

0:35:54 > 0:35:56Oh...

0:35:56 > 0:36:00It's beautiful. I feel really elegant.

0:36:00 > 0:36:03I like the arms, I like the shoulders.

0:36:05 > 0:36:10He's done so good, look at it all. I couldn't even choose this.

0:36:10 > 0:36:12I couldn't, in the shop, did I? No.

0:36:20 > 0:36:24Later that evening, and Bronte's family are about to learn

0:36:24 > 0:36:26a little bit more about what lies ahead.

0:36:26 > 0:36:31"You leave tomorrow, arrive at Trumpington Park Ride at 4.30.

0:36:31 > 0:36:36"Bring a passport and your packed bag. See you soon. Love, Darren."

0:36:36 > 0:36:384.30am or pm? AM.

0:36:38 > 0:36:40SHE GASPS

0:36:41 > 0:36:43I know a little bit more information,

0:36:43 > 0:36:46that's the timing, but apart from that, still clueless,

0:36:46 > 0:36:50still in the dark. I hope we get on a plane and it's a two-hour trip,

0:36:50 > 0:36:52and then we're there and that's it.

0:36:52 > 0:36:55But realistically, we're leaving at four in the morning.

0:36:55 > 0:36:57We're not going to be arriving afternoon,

0:36:57 > 0:36:59we'll be arriving late Friday evening.

0:36:59 > 0:37:01And everyone is going to be miserable

0:37:01 > 0:37:04and is going to arrive at the destination pissed off.

0:37:04 > 0:37:08I fear... I have a feeling, I don't know why, that it's going

0:37:08 > 0:37:10to be a really long coach trip

0:37:10 > 0:37:16to somewhere. And that it's going to be hot and...smelly.

0:37:24 > 0:37:27OK, guys, time to go.

0:37:27 > 0:37:29It's the day before the wedding and Bronte

0:37:29 > 0:37:32and her family are up early to start their mystery journey.

0:37:33 > 0:37:37Everyone's still in bed like we should be. I've got my pillow.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39Wherever we're going.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42Darren's organised transport to his secret wedding location

0:37:42 > 0:37:45in Switzerland. Oh, my God, is that a coach?

0:37:45 > 0:37:47And with a good wind, it shouldn't take more

0:37:47 > 0:37:50than 17 hours in total, including ferry.

0:37:54 > 0:37:58We got up at three o'clock and it's now 5.15.

0:38:00 > 0:38:02I don't know where we're going.

0:38:02 > 0:38:05I think it's going to be a long trip.

0:38:05 > 0:38:08The coach should get Bronte to Saas-Fee at 11pm,

0:38:08 > 0:38:11giving her plenty of time for beauty sleep before the big day.

0:38:11 > 0:38:13I've seen the sign for Dover,

0:38:13 > 0:38:17so I guess we're going to Dover on a ferry.

0:38:17 > 0:38:20With the first leg of their journey over and bound for France,

0:38:20 > 0:38:24Bronte still has no idea where her journey will end.

0:38:24 > 0:38:29We're on a coach. It could take 2 hours, it could take 15 hours.

0:38:31 > 0:38:33Bye, England!

0:38:33 > 0:38:37Bye! Hello, Darren! Where are you, Darren?

0:38:40 > 0:38:44700 miles away in the Swiss Alps, Darren is doing last-minute

0:38:44 > 0:38:46preparations for the wedding.

0:38:46 > 0:38:48I think Bronte and her family will be enjoying the journey.

0:38:48 > 0:38:52Just purely cos they get to look out the window, cos there's a lot to see.

0:38:52 > 0:38:54And it's a really, really scenic journey.

0:38:54 > 0:38:57They're probably going to start to get a bit tired as the day

0:38:57 > 0:39:00gets on because they've been up at four o'clock this morning.

0:39:00 > 0:39:03So I think they'll probably have a nap and stuff

0:39:03 > 0:39:05but hopefully by the time they pull up into Saas-Fee,

0:39:05 > 0:39:07the excitement levels will increase again

0:39:07 > 0:39:10and everyone will be buzzing, looking forward to the wedding.

0:39:10 > 0:39:12That's the hope, anyway.

0:39:12 > 0:39:15# Time goes by so slowly... #

0:39:15 > 0:39:17Having been on the road for over six hours,

0:39:17 > 0:39:20Bronte and her coach arrive in France.

0:39:20 > 0:39:22They might still have another 600 miles to go...

0:39:22 > 0:39:24GIRL GROANS

0:39:24 > 0:39:26..but they don't know that yet.

0:39:26 > 0:39:29I just want to get there now. I'm getting a bit tired of this.

0:39:29 > 0:39:32Mama!

0:39:32 > 0:39:37# Time goes by so slowly for those who wait

0:39:37 > 0:39:41# No time to hesitate... #

0:39:41 > 0:39:43Mama!

0:39:49 > 0:39:50I'm getting bored.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54I've no idea where we're going, I just want to know.

0:40:00 > 0:40:0314 long hours after they left home

0:40:03 > 0:40:06and with the coach party already bored senseless.

0:40:06 > 0:40:07disaster strikes.

0:40:07 > 0:40:09At the moment we're at a standstill.

0:40:09 > 0:40:12Proper standstill. People are getting out of their cars.

0:40:12 > 0:40:15It's gone to the point I don't care.

0:40:15 > 0:40:18The gridlock could scupper their chances of even making the wedding.

0:40:18 > 0:40:21With everyone anxious, Darren's sister Suri

0:40:21 > 0:40:23calls him on the phone.

0:40:23 > 0:40:24We're stuck in standstill traffic.

0:40:24 > 0:40:27People are getting out of their cars. There's an accident.

0:40:27 > 0:40:30They are stuck in traffic. 'Yeah.'

0:40:30 > 0:40:32All right. All right, we'll leave you in peace.

0:40:32 > 0:40:36All right, speak to you later. Bye. Bye.

0:40:36 > 0:40:39Yeah, currently they are gridlocked, stuck in traffic

0:40:39 > 0:40:41and people are getting out of their cars.

0:40:41 > 0:40:42They're not going anywhere.

0:40:42 > 0:40:46There's not even any good points of this, at all.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49Obviously, I'm going to have the bride's whole family,

0:40:49 > 0:40:51the whole bridal party, pissed off.

0:40:51 > 0:40:53This could well and truly ruin the weekend.

0:40:53 > 0:40:55It could ruin the whole wedding, yeah.

0:40:58 > 0:41:02On the motorway, the traffic is showing no signs of clearing.

0:41:02 > 0:41:05Bronte's in danger of missing her own wedding day

0:41:05 > 0:41:07and it's all too much.

0:41:07 > 0:41:11CRYING: I just need to sleep, but I can't,

0:41:11 > 0:41:13because I feel claustrophobic on the bus.

0:41:13 > 0:41:14SIRENS BLARE

0:41:17 > 0:41:20I don't think we're going to get there until three,

0:41:20 > 0:41:22early morning, maybe.

0:41:22 > 0:41:25Bronte's got to get up about seven, eight.

0:41:25 > 0:41:29So, she's going to have maybe three, four hours of sleep.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32No-one could predict this, though. By the time we get there...

0:41:32 > 0:41:34Bronte's getting married.

0:41:34 > 0:41:38This is supposed to be the best day of her life and it's fucked.

0:41:40 > 0:41:42I hate seeing her upset.

0:41:44 > 0:41:47This is not how you're meant to have your wedding evening,

0:41:47 > 0:41:49is it, stuck on the... I don't even know what it is.

0:41:49 > 0:41:52I was about to say A14, but we're in France,

0:41:52 > 0:41:54so I don't know what it is. Z25?

0:41:54 > 0:41:57We're stuck on it, probably for, what...

0:41:57 > 0:42:00Car accidents can take hours, urgh!

0:42:02 > 0:42:04God!

0:42:08 > 0:42:11After two long hours, the traffic is slowly back on the move.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13But a peek at the sat-nav has revealed

0:42:13 > 0:42:16they are running very, very late.

0:42:16 > 0:42:19It's apparently six hours from here

0:42:19 > 0:42:21and coming off the motorway is taking an extra hour.

0:42:21 > 0:42:25So, I think we will get there at 4am,

0:42:25 > 0:42:28which means we have been travelling

0:42:28 > 0:42:32in this coach for 24 hours.

0:42:32 > 0:42:353am in the Alps, six hours after

0:42:35 > 0:42:37the hold-up on the motorway,

0:42:37 > 0:42:39and the coach has hit another problem.

0:42:39 > 0:42:43Bronte's not one for making mountains out of molehills,

0:42:43 > 0:42:46but this problem actually is a mountain.

0:42:46 > 0:42:49We've been travelling for 25 hours

0:42:49 > 0:42:53and now I've been told were on the wrong side of the fucking mountain.

0:42:55 > 0:42:58We're meant to be, literally, whoop!

0:42:58 > 0:43:00And it's eight degrees. And it's eight degrees.

0:43:00 > 0:43:04My husband's been planning this for three weeks.

0:43:04 > 0:43:05And now I might not be able to go.

0:43:05 > 0:43:09# This is the road to hell... #

0:43:14 > 0:43:17# I've been waiting all night for you to

0:43:17 > 0:43:18# Tell me

0:43:18 > 0:43:21# Tell me that you need me

0:43:21 > 0:43:23# Tell me that you want me... #

0:43:23 > 0:43:26It's the morning of the wedding and, after 28 hours on a coach,

0:43:26 > 0:43:29and almost no sleep the last two nights,

0:43:29 > 0:43:32Bronte's finally arrived in Saas-Fee.

0:43:34 > 0:43:36With the wedding at 2pm,

0:43:36 > 0:43:39Bronte heads straight to her chalet.

0:43:41 > 0:43:42Come on, let's go.

0:43:48 > 0:43:51And, after a 45 minute nap and a shower,

0:43:51 > 0:43:54she has no choice but to power through her big day.

0:43:54 > 0:43:56I'm exhausted.

0:43:56 > 0:44:01It was the most horrific journey I've ever taken.

0:44:01 > 0:44:05I can't even describe how bad it was.

0:44:05 > 0:44:07I laugh about it now, because, when you look back at it,

0:44:07 > 0:44:10it was like the world was going to end. It was just horrific.

0:44:10 > 0:44:10it was like the world was going to end. It was just horrific.

0:44:14 > 0:44:16Go, go, go!

0:44:16 > 0:44:19Darren's arranged some unusual wedding gifts in a bid to

0:44:19 > 0:44:21brighten up Bronte's morning.

0:44:21 > 0:44:24Well, his surprises have all gone so brilliantly up till now.

0:44:24 > 0:44:26GIRL: How did they get there?

0:44:26 > 0:44:29LORA: What shoes are you going to wear, if you've got these?

0:44:29 > 0:44:32Am I going to be wearing mountain boots?

0:44:32 > 0:44:35Oh, sexy wedding socks!

0:44:35 > 0:44:38You don't want grey poking out on your dress.

0:44:38 > 0:44:40I'll just have to be cold.

0:44:40 > 0:44:43They're out of the game. What's next?

0:44:43 > 0:44:45It's the bridesmaid dress.

0:44:45 > 0:44:48Let's hope that gets a better response from Bronte.

0:44:48 > 0:44:51Oh, pretty bridesmaid!

0:44:53 > 0:44:54Yep.

0:44:54 > 0:44:55You'll just have to hold it up the whole time.

0:44:58 > 0:45:01You look beautiful. You look really beautiful. They've chosen well.

0:45:01 > 0:45:03I'm just going to freeze.

0:45:03 > 0:45:06With Lora ready, it's now time for Bronte to reveal to her

0:45:06 > 0:45:08family the dress that Darren chose for her.

0:45:10 > 0:45:12CHILD: You look beautiful, Bronte.

0:45:12 > 0:45:13Aww!

0:45:17 > 0:45:19Bronte, you look beautiful.

0:45:19 > 0:45:23I feel like a princess what can't breathe.

0:45:23 > 0:45:27But, an essential part of Bronte's wedding outfit is still missing.

0:45:27 > 0:45:29I haven't got any shoes.

0:45:29 > 0:45:31While Bronte's barefoot,

0:45:31 > 0:45:35Darren's barely an hour to turn the ice cave into an ice palace.

0:45:35 > 0:45:38I'm regretting not looking at them before we came up here

0:45:38 > 0:45:39and putting them together.

0:45:39 > 0:45:41Cos they're pretty shit.

0:45:47 > 0:45:49I used to be really good at Lego.

0:45:53 > 0:45:55HE SIGHS Success!

0:45:55 > 0:45:59Back down at resort level, Bronte's next festive gift has arrived.

0:45:59 > 0:46:03But, it's about as welcome as a burnt Brussels sprout.

0:46:03 > 0:46:05Oh, my gosh! It's skiing.

0:46:05 > 0:46:07You're snowboarding!

0:46:08 > 0:46:11Oh, my God!

0:46:11 > 0:46:13I've never been on skis before!

0:46:13 > 0:46:15Oh, my God, Bronte!

0:46:15 > 0:46:17What the hell?!

0:46:19 > 0:46:21I can't ski.

0:46:21 > 0:46:27I was expecting maybe, like, winter boots, but not ski boots.

0:46:27 > 0:46:29I'm actually in shock.

0:46:29 > 0:46:31He knows you can't ski. What's he playing at?

0:46:31 > 0:46:32Right, let's get them on.

0:46:32 > 0:46:35These are a 38, so, I'm assuming these ones are mine.

0:46:35 > 0:46:38And these ones look like they could be yours.

0:46:38 > 0:46:42I just have no idea what's going through his mind right now.

0:46:42 > 0:46:44I really don't.

0:46:44 > 0:46:46They're not going to go on. Yes, yes, yes. Push, push, push.

0:46:46 > 0:46:49It's really hurting, like painful, ow.

0:46:51 > 0:46:54OK, they're in. It's going to be like taking Godzilla down the aisle.

0:46:54 > 0:46:57Do we have to wear these today?

0:46:57 > 0:46:59Let's go.

0:46:59 > 0:47:01Oh, my God. What is he playing at? What's he doing?

0:47:01 > 0:47:03This is a joke.

0:47:03 > 0:47:05It's going to take for ever!

0:47:05 > 0:47:09# These boots are going to walk all over you... #

0:47:09 > 0:47:13On my wedding day, can you ever imagine being in ski boots!

0:47:13 > 0:47:16At the top of the mountain, the wedding guests have started

0:47:16 > 0:47:19to arrive and are making their way into the icy grotto.

0:47:20 > 0:47:23I think I needed a coat.

0:47:23 > 0:47:24It's cold.

0:47:24 > 0:47:27Brrr! Oh, it's chilly.

0:47:27 > 0:47:28Where shall we go? You decide.

0:47:28 > 0:47:31Wherever you want to go, guys. It's a free-for-all.

0:47:31 > 0:47:34And, just as Bronte thinks she's finally arrived at the wedding,

0:47:34 > 0:47:37she realises she's still got a mountain to climb.

0:47:37 > 0:47:41This journey's never ending!

0:47:41 > 0:47:44And the journey goes on.

0:47:44 > 0:47:47How many people have travelled so far,

0:47:47 > 0:47:5028 hours on the coach, for this?

0:47:50 > 0:47:52And on...

0:47:52 > 0:47:54It's embarrassing. We look like idiots in dresses.

0:47:54 > 0:47:55I'm in a fucking wedding dress,

0:47:55 > 0:47:58and these people are in slalom ski stuff.

0:47:58 > 0:47:59I feel like a knob.

0:48:00 > 0:48:02..and on...

0:48:02 > 0:48:04I just want to get off.

0:48:04 > 0:48:07I'm feeling a little bit sick. Holy shit.

0:48:07 > 0:48:08I'm freaking out a little bit.

0:48:08 > 0:48:09I don't like how high we are.

0:48:09 > 0:48:11Oh!

0:48:18 > 0:48:20Aaargh! Oh, my bum.

0:48:20 > 0:48:23This is so romantic...

0:48:27 > 0:48:28This is vile.

0:48:28 > 0:48:30What is he thinking?

0:48:30 > 0:48:32He's picked this dress out that's perfect

0:48:32 > 0:48:34and then he's sent me

0:48:34 > 0:48:38on a mad goose chase in the dirty, dirty...

0:48:38 > 0:48:40I just don't know what's happening. It's filthy.

0:48:42 > 0:48:44I just want to be there.

0:48:44 > 0:48:47This is ridiculous.

0:48:47 > 0:48:48So out of breath.

0:48:48 > 0:48:51This is embarrassing, you don't need to clap.

0:48:53 > 0:48:56I'm so tired, I can't do this.

0:48:56 > 0:48:59After a taxi, a ferry, 28 hours on a coach

0:48:59 > 0:49:02and a trek up the mountain in ski boots,

0:49:02 > 0:49:04Bronte's finally about to find out

0:49:04 > 0:49:06what Darren's been planning all along.

0:49:06 > 0:49:08It's going to have to be here.

0:49:08 > 0:49:11It does make sense, considering how we went to the...

0:49:11 > 0:49:13We went to the Ice Bar for your hen do.

0:49:13 > 0:49:15It's freezing! Let's go! Come on!

0:49:15 > 0:49:18You're about to see Darren. I need my coat on.

0:49:18 > 0:49:20With Bronte running half an hour late, Darren

0:49:20 > 0:49:25and their 40 guests can only stand and wait in sub-zero temperatures.

0:49:25 > 0:49:27I'm so excited, anxious.

0:49:27 > 0:49:30I'm just feeling impatient now and I want Bronte just to come in.

0:49:30 > 0:49:32The three weeks has been a killer.

0:49:32 > 0:49:34Trouble is, after trekking all the way up the mountain,

0:49:34 > 0:49:38she now has to hike back down into the heart of the glacier.

0:49:39 > 0:49:42It's freezing.

0:49:42 > 0:49:44At the moment, it's meaningful.

0:49:44 > 0:49:48It may not be meaningful when I fall down the fucking stairs!

0:49:48 > 0:49:49Almost fell down there...

0:49:49 > 0:49:52Darren Graver! Jesus!

0:49:52 > 0:49:55Where's the bloody end? Are we there?

0:49:55 > 0:49:58I don't want to do it any more. I just want to be there.

0:49:58 > 0:49:59It's freezing.

0:49:59 > 0:50:01I just want to see Darren.

0:50:01 > 0:50:04It's cold, I don't like being underground. It's freaking me out.

0:50:04 > 0:50:08I've come so far. And the three weeks. I just want to see him.

0:50:11 > 0:50:13Finally, after possibly the longest

0:50:13 > 0:50:16walk down the aisle in history,

0:50:16 > 0:50:18and in ski boots, Bronte's made it.

0:50:24 > 0:50:26SHE SOBS

0:50:26 > 0:50:29You're fine. You're fine. You're fine.

0:50:32 > 0:50:34I'm really cold. You like using the F word at romantic times.

0:50:34 > 0:50:37We went on a 28 hour coach journey. Yeah.

0:50:37 > 0:50:40I kind of know that, in that we didn't get any sleep,

0:50:40 > 0:50:41cos we had someone ringing us...

0:50:41 > 0:50:44I didn't have any sleep! I arrived at seven o'clock this morning!

0:50:44 > 0:50:45Fucking hell.

0:50:45 > 0:50:48Ever the romantic, Bronte.

0:50:50 > 0:50:54Darren and Bronte, with your families and friends,

0:50:54 > 0:50:57we want to thank God on this special day for the gift of marriage,

0:50:57 > 0:51:01which you are about to embark on. So, Darren,

0:51:01 > 0:51:05you've come here today seeking a blessing upon your future marriage.

0:51:05 > 0:51:08And so I ask, will you love Bronte,

0:51:08 > 0:51:11honour and care for her,

0:51:11 > 0:51:14be her companion through all the joys and sorrows of life,

0:51:14 > 0:51:16each and every day?

0:51:16 > 0:51:17I will.

0:51:17 > 0:51:21Bronte, you have come here today seeking a blessing

0:51:21 > 0:51:23upon your future marriage.

0:51:23 > 0:51:25And so I ask, will you love Darren,

0:51:25 > 0:51:27honour and care for him,

0:51:27 > 0:51:29be his companion through all the joys

0:51:29 > 0:51:33and sorrows of life, each and every day?

0:51:33 > 0:51:34I will.

0:51:34 > 0:51:36Just about. Just about.

0:51:36 > 0:51:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:51:40 > 0:51:42It's amazing. Very cold, but amazing.

0:51:42 > 0:51:45'I think my boy did really well.'

0:51:45 > 0:51:47I was really proud of him.

0:51:47 > 0:51:49And it was very romantic.

0:51:49 > 0:51:52It was worth the journey, cos it was absolutely amazing,

0:51:52 > 0:51:56but I would never, ever, do that again. That...

0:51:56 > 0:51:59I still haven't recovered. I am knackered.

0:51:59 > 0:52:02Ceremony over, the girls have an important question for Darren.

0:52:02 > 0:52:04So, where are our skis?

0:52:04 > 0:52:06Yeah.

0:52:06 > 0:52:08We forgot the skis.

0:52:08 > 0:52:12I can't believe we've worn these boots all the way up here,

0:52:12 > 0:52:15guys, and now we're not even skiing!

0:52:15 > 0:52:17But, however, and obviously Lora's not going to be able to ski,

0:52:17 > 0:52:20but Ben and Dan are quite capable of carrying Bronte.

0:52:20 > 0:52:21No! Yes!

0:52:21 > 0:52:22Come on, come on!

0:52:22 > 0:52:25Carried down the side of the mountain?

0:52:25 > 0:52:28We'll go down this flat bit here, past those piste bashers.

0:52:28 > 0:52:29It looks quite rough. My dress...

0:52:29 > 0:52:32It'll be fine. We'll hold it up. You'll be fine.

0:52:32 > 0:52:33Take my hand. Let's go.

0:52:33 > 0:52:37Skis or no skis, Darren's determined to get Bronte on the slopes,

0:52:37 > 0:52:39aided by his not so little helpers.

0:52:39 > 0:52:41# We're walking in the air... #

0:52:41 > 0:52:43No!

0:52:43 > 0:52:44Fuck my life!

0:52:47 > 0:52:49I can't do this.

0:52:49 > 0:52:50Ready? Let's go.

0:52:52 > 0:52:57# The people far below are sleeping as we fly... #

0:52:57 > 0:52:58Let's stop, let's stop, let's stop.

0:52:58 > 0:53:00All right. Let's stop.

0:53:02 > 0:53:06# I'm holding very tight... #

0:53:09 > 0:53:12It's been the longest journey, but look where we are.

0:53:12 > 0:53:15I'm married, we're in the highest... It's like we're in the heavens.

0:53:15 > 0:53:18It's beautiful, I'm with my husband.

0:53:18 > 0:53:21I wanted it in Cambridge, but this means so much.

0:53:22 > 0:53:24Finally, at the bottom of the mountain,

0:53:24 > 0:53:27Darren's arranged an unconventional wedding breakfast -

0:53:27 > 0:53:29a pizza buffet.

0:53:32 > 0:53:36When Darren gets his heart set on something, whatever it is,

0:53:36 > 0:53:37Darren will get it.

0:53:37 > 0:53:40Which probably explains why we're here today.

0:53:40 > 0:53:42It's been one hell of an experience

0:53:42 > 0:53:44and despite the constant fear of failure,

0:53:44 > 0:53:46I think he has done a brilliant job.

0:53:46 > 0:53:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:53:47 > 0:53:50Bronte, I truly hope I've given you a day to remember

0:53:50 > 0:53:52and it was better then you could have ever imagined in a place

0:53:52 > 0:53:54that is so special to the both of us.

0:53:54 > 0:53:57Please can you raise a toast to my wife and soul mate? To Bronte!

0:53:57 > 0:53:59ALL: To Bronte!

0:53:59 > 0:54:02It's time for Darren to reveal

0:54:02 > 0:54:05his Christmas apres-ski themed reception.

0:54:05 > 0:54:07Will this melt Bronte's heart?

0:54:07 > 0:54:09# Have yourself

0:54:09 > 0:54:15# A merry little Christmas... #

0:54:15 > 0:54:16Aww!

0:54:16 > 0:54:18Look at it!

0:54:18 > 0:54:21Look at the cake! Yeah.

0:54:21 > 0:54:22You've done such a good job.

0:54:22 > 0:54:26I can't believe you've actually done this. You'd never do this at home.

0:54:26 > 0:54:28You'd never pay this much detail.

0:54:28 > 0:54:31It's amazing. It's beautiful. Well done.

0:54:33 > 0:54:34I love it. I love it all.

0:54:34 > 0:54:37These should be real presents. Christmas!

0:54:37 > 0:54:40I thought, as we didn't spend our first Christmas together,

0:54:40 > 0:54:42because I was out at Saas-Fee, I would try

0:54:42 > 0:54:46and recreate that Christmas for you this time around.

0:54:46 > 0:54:48It's beautiful. I hope you like it.

0:54:48 > 0:54:51Of course I do! Don't be ridiculous!

0:54:51 > 0:54:53It's beautiful and you've done a really good job.

0:54:56 > 0:54:58Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.

0:54:58 > 0:55:00Thank you, it's beautiful. Good, I'm glad you like it.

0:55:00 > 0:55:03Now, let's let all the guests in. Yes, let's let the guests in.

0:55:03 > 0:55:05Let's party!

0:55:05 > 0:55:08MUSIC: "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" by Wizzard

0:55:12 > 0:55:15LORA: I think Darren's done incredibly well.

0:55:15 > 0:55:17Him and the boys have got it down to a T.

0:55:17 > 0:55:19And, yeah, OK, a few things went wrong,

0:55:19 > 0:55:25but, I mean, out of everything, it was amazing and they did so well.

0:55:25 > 0:55:27I don't think Bronte could be happier.

0:55:27 > 0:55:29Three, two, one...

0:55:29 > 0:55:31CHEERING

0:55:31 > 0:55:33Yeah, I think it has ended well.

0:55:33 > 0:55:35I've not been here before.

0:55:35 > 0:55:39Actually, to go up to the top of the mountain was quite something else.

0:55:39 > 0:55:41Cold, but it was good.

0:55:41 > 0:55:44So, I'm very proud of them.

0:55:44 > 0:55:46It was a perfect end to a day.

0:55:46 > 0:55:49# I don't want a lot for Christmas... #

0:55:49 > 0:55:52BRONTE: Darren has proved that he can finish jobs.

0:55:52 > 0:55:54He's normally very bad at finishing jobs.

0:55:54 > 0:55:58Normally the washing, or the ironing, or any general housework.

0:55:58 > 0:56:01I think that's because he expects me to do it.

0:56:01 > 0:56:04But, he's proved himself, so now I won't do anything for him.

0:56:04 > 0:56:06No. I still need your support. But you don't need my support.

0:56:06 > 0:56:09Look at it! It's absolutely beautiful. You don't need my support.

0:56:09 > 0:56:12You've organised people to come over, you've organised a coach,

0:56:12 > 0:56:14even though it wasn't the best coach ride.

0:56:14 > 0:56:15It's incredible.

0:56:15 > 0:56:20# All I want for Christmas is you... #

0:56:20 > 0:56:24But I'm sure, after this, you could let me off a bit of laundry. No!

0:56:24 > 0:56:25OK. It was worth a try.

0:56:32 > 0:56:34# So, here it is
