-Has anybody got any confetti?

-Yes!

-Come on, then.

0:00:020:00:04

Every girl...

0:00:040:00:05

I do.

0:00:050:00:06

..likes to take control of her wedding.

0:00:060:00:09

So what happens when she has no say on her big day?

0:00:090:00:13

Urgh, they are awful.

0:00:130:00:15

We're not doing it.

0:00:150:00:16

Don't Tell The Bride is back.

0:00:160:00:18

This is ridiculous.

0:00:180:00:19

As ever, the grooms are in charge.

0:00:190:00:21

I want there to be a donkey at the wedding.

0:00:210:00:23

I'll look lovely on our big day.

0:00:230:00:25

But with £12,000 to spend

0:00:250:00:27

and just three weeks to throw the wedding of their dreams...

0:00:270:00:31

Tell my mum I love her!

0:00:310:00:32

Aah!

0:00:320:00:33

..have the boys pushed themselves too far?

0:00:330:00:36

Oh, my God!

0:00:360:00:37

You're fired.

0:00:370:00:38

With more shocking...

0:00:380:00:39

..more outrageous...

0:00:400:00:41

..and more daredevil weddings than ever before...

0:00:430:00:45

will there be a happy ever after?

0:00:450:00:47

This is not the thing you get wrong the day before your wedding.

0:00:470:00:50

Will true love save the day?

0:00:500:00:52

Mum, what is that? Mum, what is that?

0:00:520:00:54

Or is it a countdown to disaster?

0:00:540:00:56

Three, two, one...

0:00:560:00:59

Tonight, thrill-seeker Craig plans an adrenaline-fuelled wedding

0:01:000:01:04

for his country girl bride-to-be.

0:01:040:01:06

"You may kiss the bride..."

0:01:060:01:07

Bang!

0:01:070:01:08

But with Ellie hoping for a more grounded day...

0:01:080:01:11

I dread to think what he might be thinking.

0:01:110:01:13

..what happens when a skydive and a bungee jump take centre stage?

0:01:150:01:19

Oh, my God.

0:01:190:01:20

Can Craig get his head out of the clouds

0:01:200:01:22

and pull off the most heart-stopping wedding?

0:01:220:01:25

SCREAMING

0:01:250:01:26

..or has he stretched himself too far?

0:01:260:01:29

Oh, man.

0:01:290:01:30

Are we getting married at some point?

0:01:300:01:31

# I feel so in love... #

0:01:310:01:33

SCREAMING

0:01:330:01:34

This programme contains some strong language.

0:01:340:01:41

MUSIC: Grange Hill Theme

0:01:440:01:46

27-year-old Ellie met her childhood sweetheart Craig

0:01:480:01:51

when they were just 15.

0:01:510:01:53

Craig was brought up in London

0:01:530:01:56

but moved out to the country and joined Ellie's school.

0:01:560:01:58

And it wasn't long before they caught each other's eye.

0:01:580:02:01

I sort of knew you from afar.

0:02:010:02:03

We knew each other through friends, you were quite quiet.

0:02:030:02:05

Well, I was quite good in school.

0:02:050:02:07

And you were definitely a naughty kid.

0:02:070:02:09

Compared to you, probably.

0:02:090:02:10

Yeah, compared to me, yeah.

0:02:100:02:12

He was like this skinhead with the moped,

0:02:130:02:16

but actually, when we started speaking,

0:02:160:02:19

I realised that he was actually quite sweet,

0:02:190:02:21

which I think was surprising for how he came across.

0:02:210:02:25

Now working as an electrician,

0:02:260:02:28

moving out to the country

0:02:280:02:29

was worlds away from the city life he was used to.

0:02:290:02:32

My upbringing was rough and ready.

0:02:320:02:34

I moved around a bit, lived in a few different houses,

0:02:340:02:36

went to a lot of different schools.

0:02:360:02:38

I associated with a lot of different type of people.

0:02:380:02:41

But steadfast country girl Ellie finally got Craig feeling settled.

0:02:410:02:45

Ellie's my stability.

0:02:450:02:47

She keeps me with my feet on the ground.

0:02:470:02:48

I think, if it wasn't for Ellie, my life could have been different.

0:02:480:02:51

-Keep you out trouble.

-Keep me out of trouble.

0:02:510:02:53

With Ellie having a stable job working in retail,

0:02:550:02:58

she's in no hurry to move away from the countryside.

0:02:580:03:01

I've lived in Pratts Bottom my whole life,

0:03:010:03:03

went to the local village school down the road.

0:03:030:03:06

Everyone sort of knew each other -

0:03:060:03:08

we'd all, like, walk to school together,

0:03:080:03:10

play in the fields, play on the haystacks,

0:03:100:03:12

get told off by the farmer!

0:03:120:03:14

After leaving school, Craig whisked Ellie away on an adventure

0:03:140:03:19

and took her travelling around the world.

0:03:190:03:21

We've been to a lot of places in the world,

0:03:210:03:23

and we went travelling for about five months.

0:03:230:03:26

Best thing we've ever done, 100%.

0:03:260:03:28

Ellie's probably had quite a comfortable upbringing -

0:03:280:03:30

before she met me,

0:03:300:03:32

was probably not that experienced in life in terms of what is out there.

0:03:320:03:36

Once back in the village,

0:03:360:03:38

to save money for their first house together,

0:03:380:03:40

they moved in with Ellie's parents. where mum Kerry rules the roost.

0:03:400:03:45

She is the ultimate organiser,

0:03:450:03:47

she organises everyone, the whole family.

0:03:470:03:51

All of her friends as well.

0:03:510:03:53

And Craig's future mother-in-law already has concerns

0:03:530:03:56

about what he's planning.

0:03:560:03:58

My mum is terrified of Craig planning the wedding.

0:03:580:04:02

I don't think she quite knows how to cope with not being involved,

0:04:020:04:06

not knowing what's going on.

0:04:060:04:08

Not having any say. I think it is literally going to kill her.

0:04:080:04:12

I'd love to be there with him organising it, absolutely -

0:04:120:04:15

giving him ideas.

0:04:150:04:17

I would.

0:04:170:04:19

-Come on, then, give me an idea.

-It's really killing me.

-Any advice?

0:04:190:04:22

What's the advice, then?

0:04:220:04:23

-Don't invite the mother-in-law?

-No.

0:04:230:04:26

You haven't got one yet, you've got three weeks still.

0:04:260:04:29

It's hard - when you're used to taking on board everything

0:04:290:04:32

and sorting everything out,

0:04:320:04:33

and suddenly you're just like a spare part.

0:04:330:04:36

I book everything, I sort everything out

0:04:360:04:39

and if anything needs to be done or something, everyone seems to ask me.

0:04:390:04:44

And I enjoy it.

0:04:440:04:45

That's why I'm not enjoying this wedding!

0:04:450:04:49

So Craig has his future bride and his future mother-in-law to please.

0:04:490:04:53

No pressure, then.

0:04:530:04:55

I'm the only daughter,

0:04:550:04:56

so I think it's definitely a massive pressure for Craig, pleasing my mum.

0:04:560:05:01

And perhaps his mother-in-law's right to be concerned...

0:05:010:05:06

Because bad boy Craig has a passion

0:05:060:05:08

that he wants to feature in their big day.

0:05:080:05:10

I try absolutely anything that gives you adrenaline.

0:05:120:05:15

Bungee jumping, skydiving, rock climbing,

0:05:150:05:19

motorbiking, car racing.

0:05:190:05:22

As many life experiences as possible,

0:05:220:05:24

that would be great.

0:05:240:05:25

But Craig's down-to-earth fiancee

0:05:250:05:28

doesn't share his devotion to danger.

0:05:280:05:31

Oh, he loves it, I don't know anyone that's done a bungee jump

0:05:310:05:34

that's said they enjoyed it, but he genuinely did.

0:05:340:05:36

I'm scared of flying,

0:05:360:05:38

so I don't know why he enjoys that kind of thing.

0:05:380:05:42

Cautious Ellie has far more grounded ideas for her big day.

0:05:420:05:47

I think you always imagine what it would be like.

0:05:470:05:50

I've always imagined my wedding being local,

0:05:500:05:53

I've grown up in the countryside in the local area

0:05:530:05:56

so I guess I've always just imagined

0:05:560:05:57

that it would be in the local church over the road, quite traditional.

0:05:570:06:01

Yeah, that kind of thing.

0:06:010:06:03

But with adrenaline pumping through his veins,

0:06:060:06:08

this thrill-seeker wants to give his bride-to-be, his future in-laws

0:06:080:06:12

and the local village a day they'll never forget.

0:06:120:06:15

I want it to be different, I want it to be unique,

0:06:150:06:17

so I think something adrenaline-based, I suppose.

0:06:170:06:20

Anything where you feel like there's potential danger.

0:06:200:06:22

I think if you let your fear overcome you,

0:06:220:06:24

then you'll never experience anything in life.

0:06:240:06:26

It's time for Ellie and Craig to say goodbye.

0:06:280:06:31

But before Craig sets off to organise the biggest day

0:06:310:06:34

in either of their lives,

0:06:340:06:35

Ellie has to organise Craig.

0:06:350:06:37

Have you checked your list?

0:06:370:06:39

Right, go through it and I'll tell you.

0:06:390:06:41

Your iPad and charger?

0:06:410:06:43

Ninja Turtle pyjamas?

0:06:430:06:45

SHE LAUGHS

0:06:450:06:47

You've got your hat and your wallet?

0:06:480:06:50

-Check.

-Have you got your watch?

0:06:500:06:52

-Yep.

-That's it.

0:06:520:06:54

All packed up, ready to go.

0:06:540:06:57

And of course there's only one way thrill-seeker Craig likes to travel.

0:06:590:07:03

That's it, then.

0:07:030:07:05

Have fun.

0:07:050:07:06

I trust you.

0:07:060:07:07

-Love you.

-Wish me luck.

0:07:070:07:09

Drive safely.

0:07:120:07:13

Craig might have just moved out of his in-laws' house,

0:07:300:07:33

but for the next three weeks,

0:07:330:07:34

he'll be staying at their holiday home

0:07:340:07:36

in a caravan park in Whitstable.

0:07:360:07:38

And while Craig checks in,

0:07:400:07:42

Ellie settles in to three weeks by herself.

0:07:420:07:45

It feels really serious, like, the not knowing,

0:07:450:07:48

not seeing him, not knowing if he's OK -

0:07:480:07:51

it's really strange.

0:07:510:07:52

Strange that I'm not going to see him,

0:07:520:07:54

and strange that next time I do,

0:07:540:07:56

it's, like, on one of the biggest days of our lives.

0:07:560:08:00

It's day one, and after a lonely first night in,

0:08:080:08:11

Craig's waiting for best man Jamie to arrive

0:08:110:08:13

so he can get to work on some high-flying ideas.

0:08:130:08:16

-Hello, Stan the Man.

-How's it going?

-Yeah, not bad, not bad.

0:08:190:08:22

-How you been?

-Inviting me in, or what?

0:08:220:08:23

Craig's going to be carrying a lot of stress, worrying about stuff,

0:08:230:08:27

getting things done to a schedule on time.

0:08:270:08:29

And I think I'm going to just be the calming influence.

0:08:290:08:33

What's the plan?

0:08:330:08:34

Well, the idea is based like on an adrenaline-based idea, I think.

0:08:340:08:39

Hang on, adrenaline for the wedding?

0:08:390:08:42

For the actual vows.

0:08:420:08:43

The actual...the main part!

0:08:450:08:47

What are you thinking?

0:08:470:08:49

Skydiving. Like, I could skydive into the wedding.

0:08:490:08:51

Oh, my God.

0:08:510:08:52

Bungee jumping off a hot-air balloon off Tower Bridge.

0:08:520:08:55

Off the Shard.

0:08:550:08:57

Off Tower Bridge? How are you...? Oh...

0:08:570:08:59

I think Craig's good for...what HIS ideas are.

0:09:010:09:04

He's quite headstrong.

0:09:040:09:05

Whether he's thinking about Ellie with his ideas, I'm not sure.

0:09:050:09:11

How do you think Ellie would react to saying our vows on the ceremony

0:09:110:09:14

on something like a bungee jump, skydiving?

0:09:140:09:17

Er, on her wedding day, that's... That's bold.

0:09:170:09:21

Her in her wedding dress?

0:09:210:09:24

Yeah, after we say our vows and...

0:09:240:09:26

-Go!

-You're up there, you get married up there,

0:09:260:09:29

"You may kiss the bride..."

0:09:290:09:31

-Bang!

-Jump.

0:09:310:09:33

Jamie needs convincing, so Craig's got a plan.

0:09:330:09:36

MUSIC: The Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss

0:09:360:09:39

With nothing booked yet,

0:09:390:09:41

Craig's whisked Jamie away to an indoor skydiving centre

0:09:410:09:44

to show him how this wedding could really take off.

0:09:440:09:48

It's amazing.

0:10:070:10:08

Absolutely brilliant, fantastic.

0:10:080:10:10

That was awesome, epic.

0:10:100:10:12

It's just confirmed that this is exactly what I want -

0:10:120:10:14

this is what life's about, the buzz, the thrill, living.

0:10:140:10:17

And why not incorporate that in a wedding day?

0:10:170:10:19

I think even she was scared before she does something like this,

0:10:190:10:22

this feeling now - if she feels like this on her wedding day,

0:10:220:10:25

that's got to be a good thing.

0:10:250:10:26

While the boys are talking about jumping out of aeroplanes,

0:10:290:10:32

bride-to-be Ellie, together with her mum and her bridesmaids,

0:10:320:10:36

have less extreme ideas.

0:10:360:10:38

I suppose I've always thought it will be local,

0:10:380:10:42

probably in the village, the village church,

0:10:420:10:45

quite traditional,

0:10:450:10:46

like, go to the church then walk back,

0:10:460:10:48

like, typical countryside wedding.

0:10:480:10:52

That's what I've always had in mind.

0:10:520:10:53

When you think of a wedding,

0:10:530:10:55

you just think of a church, a reception.

0:10:550:10:57

I think you always assume you get to organise it.

0:10:570:10:59

Yeah, Mum definitely does.

0:10:590:11:01

It's killed me, I'm absolutely heartbroken.

0:11:010:11:04

When it's traditional, you just think that's what it is, isn't it?

0:11:040:11:07

-In a church.

-Mm.

0:11:070:11:09

God, as long as it's nothing he did on his travels.

0:11:090:11:12

I worry that he might have some funny ideas

0:11:130:11:15

about something he might think is good,

0:11:150:11:17

and once he thinks it's good, that's it,

0:11:170:11:19

he'll think it's a really great idea.

0:11:190:11:21

I dread to think what he might be thinking.

0:11:230:11:25

It's the next morning, and fully pumped about their wedding plans,

0:11:290:11:33

the boys have arrived at a local airfield

0:11:330:11:35

to see if their sky-high ceremony can even take off.

0:11:350:11:38

I want to find out if it's possible to do a skydive into the wedding,

0:11:380:11:41

into the ceremony.

0:11:410:11:43

I want to find out if it's possible to hold the venue here,

0:11:430:11:46

and obviously possible to get a bungee here, also.

0:11:460:11:48

Skydive into a wedding...

0:11:490:11:50

-THEY LAUGH

-Yep, definitely possible.

0:11:500:11:52

-Seriously?

-Absolutely. No problem at all.

0:11:520:11:55

And how would we go about that, and is there a building or a marquee?

0:11:550:11:59

You'd have to look at, you know, using a marquee

0:11:590:12:02

or something like that.

0:12:020:12:03

-Wow.

-Sounds fantastic.

0:12:030:12:05

So far, so good.

0:12:050:12:07

But the boys want to bounce off one more idea.

0:12:070:12:09

-We want to get a bungee jump as well.

-Oh, yeah.

0:12:090:12:12

-So could we get a bungee jump in here?

-On site.

0:12:120:12:14

It's not anything that's been done on the airfield before,

0:12:140:12:17

cos we're not allowed to fly kites here, for example,

0:12:170:12:20

because they go up in the air.

0:12:200:12:22

So I think it's unlikely you'd be able to get a crane in here

0:12:220:12:24

to do a bungee jump from.

0:12:240:12:25

Oh...

0:12:270:12:28

Hadn't thought about that, had you?

0:12:310:12:34

That's BLEEP it right up, hasn't it?

0:12:340:12:36

Pretty much, if you can't have the bungee.

0:12:360:12:38

So you think, "Hang on,

0:12:380:12:40

"I'm sacrificing what I actually want just to fit one activity in."

0:12:400:12:45

Not content with throwing Ellie out of a plane,

0:12:450:12:48

Craig wants to erect a bungee crane and throw her off that as well.

0:12:480:12:52

But that can't happen at the airfield,

0:12:520:12:55

and so the venue search goes on.

0:12:550:12:57

Meanwhile, in Kent,

0:13:020:13:03

the bridal party has arrived at a small village church,

0:13:030:13:06

where Ellie dreams of having a traditional wedding...

0:13:060:13:09

Without a parachute or bungee rope in sight.

0:13:090:13:12

You could have all flowers at the ends.

0:13:120:13:14

Yeah, loads of flowers - and candles.

0:13:140:13:17

A traditional ceremony is definitely important,

0:13:170:13:19

coming in to quite traditional music.

0:13:190:13:21

Dad walk me down the aisle with the bridesmaids.

0:13:210:13:24

The sort of traditional ceremony,

0:13:240:13:26

and then coming out and having the bells ringing

0:13:260:13:29

and, like, the confetti outside the church.

0:13:290:13:32

What are the chances, do you think,

0:13:320:13:33

of Craig picking something like this?

0:13:330:13:35

I don't know, but I just have a feeling he won't pick a church.

0:13:350:13:38

No, I don't think he'll pick a church.

0:13:380:13:40

He likes to, like, rebel against tradition, doesn't he? So...

0:13:400:13:44

But do you think he might consider it,

0:13:440:13:46

-knowing that that's something that you want?

-Yeah, maybe.

0:13:460:13:49

He's thoughtful, he's definitely really thoughtful,

0:13:490:13:51

-but not necessarily traditional.

-He's not traditional.

0:13:510:13:55

He'll think of something, like, really meaningful

0:13:550:13:57

and lovely, probably.

0:13:570:13:59

Yep, a meaningful bungee jump and a lovely skydive.

0:13:590:14:04

Adamant on giving Ellie two adrenaline experiences,

0:14:040:14:07

Craig's travelled over two hours to an airfield in Peterborough

0:14:070:14:11

to make it happen.

0:14:110:14:12

See? Thoughtful.

0:14:120:14:14

The idea is that we skydive into the wedding,

0:14:140:14:16

we have a walkway of some sort to a bungee which we get married off.

0:14:160:14:21

Does she know what you're planning?

0:14:210:14:22

-No.

-Oh, right. Marvellous.

0:14:220:14:24

That's going to make life interesting, innit?

0:14:240:14:26

If the guests are here, can I jump first?

0:14:260:14:28

So I jump into the wedding and then she comes afterwards,

0:14:280:14:31

so we jump at different times?

0:14:310:14:32

Oh, yeah, that wouldn't be a problem at all.

0:14:320:14:34

Could they dive in their suit and dress?

0:14:340:14:37

We normally put a jump suit on people,

0:14:370:14:39

purely for safety reasons.

0:14:390:14:41

The only thing we have got to insist on, you have to have a hat on.

0:14:410:14:46

-Could we put a marquee up?

-Yeah.

0:14:460:14:48

-You could put a marquee up right out here.

-In this space here?

0:14:480:14:51

Yeah, depends how big it is - we can shift the tables,

0:14:510:14:53

we will cater for you, we're here to help you.

0:14:530:14:55

What is it, two weeks' time?

0:14:550:14:57

Under two weeks.

0:14:570:14:59

The weekend, 13th, 14th, 15th.

0:14:590:15:00

Friday's the 13th.

0:15:000:15:01

Friday would be better.

0:15:010:15:03

Did he just say Friday the 13th?

0:15:030:15:05

Yeah, we can do Friday.

0:15:050:15:06

Unlucky for some.

0:15:060:15:08

But Craig books a venue for £3,500

0:15:080:15:10

that will hold his two separate sky dives and bungee jump wedding

0:15:100:15:15

in one place.

0:15:150:15:17

And all on Friday the 13th.

0:15:170:15:19

What could possibly go wrong?

0:15:190:15:20

Unaware of the impending wedding taking place

0:15:230:15:26

on the unluckiest day of the year,

0:15:260:15:28

mother-in-law to be Kerry is convinced

0:15:280:15:30

Craig has Ellie's wedding wishes in mind.

0:15:300:15:33

I just think Craig's thinking of Ellie.

0:15:330:15:36

I'm sure he is.

0:15:360:15:37

I just wish I was there to prompt him.

0:15:370:15:40

If I think that Craig's being...maybe selfish -

0:15:400:15:44

I don't know whether that's the right word or not -

0:15:440:15:46

if he's just thought of himself...

0:15:460:15:48

I mean, he loves to do adventurous things.

0:15:480:15:50

Has he only thought of himself when he's done it?

0:15:500:15:53

I wouldn't want her to be put in danger,

0:15:530:15:55

and I wouldn't want her to look a bit of an idiot

0:15:550:15:58

in her wedding dress.

0:15:580:16:00

No danger of that,

0:16:000:16:01

she'll look lovely dangling upside down.

0:16:010:16:04

Back at the airfield, the boys have worked through their plan.

0:16:070:16:10

Ellie will skydive into the ceremony

0:16:100:16:13

before being hoisted 200 feet up again for the vows,

0:16:130:16:16

and finally bungee jumping back down again for the reception.

0:16:160:16:20

Kerry's going to have kittens.

0:16:200:16:21

How tall is it when it's up?

0:16:210:16:23

The crane that I think's coming is going to be about 58 metres.

0:16:230:16:25

So, compared to the hanger, how high?

0:16:250:16:28

Five times as high.

0:16:280:16:29

Five of those?

0:16:290:16:30

So, in your opinion,

0:16:300:16:32

what would be the best way about me protecting her

0:16:320:16:35

from mooning the guests?

0:16:350:16:36

Er...

0:16:380:16:40

Um...matching Lycra shorts?

0:16:400:16:44

Underneath, potentially.

0:16:440:16:47

Lycra shorts, lovely.

0:16:470:16:49

That sounds good, so I'll have to get her some shorts.

0:16:490:16:51

With the skydive, marquee and bungee coming to £5,500,

0:16:510:16:57

it looks like Craig's budget is rocketing towards a crash landing.

0:16:570:17:01

What do you think Ellie's going to be thinking?

0:17:010:17:03

I think she's going to be absolutely brickin' it.

0:17:030:17:05

She's going to be like, "Oh, my God, I can't believe this."

0:17:050:17:07

But when we sat down on day one and described the wedding...

0:17:070:17:10

-This is it, yeah.

-..to be epic...

0:17:100:17:12

This is it. This is it.

0:17:120:17:14

It's the beginning of week two,

0:17:210:17:23

and with Craig's adrenaline wedding at full throttle,

0:17:230:17:26

it's time for his biggest risk yet.

0:17:260:17:28

He's in search of a wedding dress fit for his bride to wear

0:17:280:17:32

when she's dangling from the end of a bungee rope.

0:17:320:17:35

This is the most important thing.

0:17:360:17:38

It's just trying to find the right dress I like,

0:17:380:17:40

that I think Ellie would look good in.

0:17:400:17:43

We could spend forever trying to pick the right dress.

0:17:430:17:46

Do you want it white or, like, the off-white sort of ivory thing?

0:17:480:17:51

These are different colours...

0:17:510:17:53

Yeah, to me, to me...

0:17:530:17:56

I-I don't know.

0:17:560:17:57

Mate, this is ridiculous.

0:17:570:17:59

This is impossible.

0:17:590:18:01

Looks like Craig's finally found an activity that DOES scare him.

0:18:010:18:05

Meanwhile, Ellie's brought her bridal party

0:18:060:18:08

to find her dream wedding dress.

0:18:080:18:10

-Hello!

-Hi.

0:18:120:18:14

The thought of Craig being able to pick the dress...

0:18:140:18:17

Yeah, it's a bit scary.

0:18:170:18:19

I quite like the one behind you with, like, the lace...

0:18:190:18:22

-With the high lace neck, yeah?

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:18:220:18:25

The perfect dress that I have in mind

0:18:250:18:27

is like Millie Mackintosh's wedding dress,

0:18:270:18:29

where it was, like, the lace on the top,

0:18:290:18:31

really quite simple and classic.

0:18:310:18:34

She had, like, the lacy top - so not, like, too much

0:18:340:18:37

but maybe a bit sheer with some lace fitted at the waist

0:18:370:18:42

and then, like, out.

0:18:420:18:45

But having no say in what Ellie will actually wear

0:18:450:18:48

finally gets too much for mum Kerry.

0:18:480:18:51

Oh, Mum, come in.

0:18:510:18:54

Aw...!

0:18:540:18:56

-I'm all right.

-It's supposed to be a happy day!

0:18:570:19:01

I'm still finding it hard.

0:19:010:19:04

I think I'm accepting that there's not a lot I can do.

0:19:040:19:07

I think, out of everything,

0:19:070:19:10

the dress is the most important thing.

0:19:100:19:12

I love this one. I love the lacy neck.

0:19:120:19:15

Keen to avoid a dress that's too revealing,

0:19:150:19:17

Ellie has opted for one with a high lace neck that covers her shoulders.

0:19:170:19:22

I think the worst thing is something really fitted and open,

0:19:220:19:26

you know - nothing to hide behind.

0:19:260:19:28

While Ellie wants modesty,

0:19:300:19:32

true to form, Craig is after something a little more daring.

0:19:320:19:36

There's a dress in here now that she'd be really happy with.

0:19:360:19:39

That's your job to find it, you should know.

0:19:390:19:42

That's what I'm doing - what are we doing here?

0:19:420:19:44

I feel sorry for you, to be honest.

0:19:440:19:46

The boys have chosen a selection of revealing, strapless dresses.

0:19:460:19:49

Because, let's face it, there'll be more than enough straps

0:19:490:19:53

on that bungee harness.

0:19:530:19:54

I really like that one. Oh, we're going to have problems now.

0:19:540:19:57

I do like the way it almost looks like

0:19:570:19:59

you belong on top of a wedding cake.

0:19:590:20:02

What are you thinking?

0:20:020:20:04

God, man.

0:20:060:20:07

No, I do like that one.

0:20:090:20:10

Oh, Craig, that was like a wildcard, that was like...

0:20:100:20:13

That one - you put that one in just to confirm...

0:20:130:20:16

"Yeah, you don't want that." Basically.

0:20:160:20:18

Oh, man.

0:20:180:20:19

Hard work, innit?

0:20:230:20:25

It's stressful, man.

0:20:250:20:26

This process is something women do for a year.

0:20:260:20:29

I'll be gutted if it's wrong, I'll be absolutely mortified.

0:20:290:20:33

Even if Ellie was here now, she would be struggling.

0:20:330:20:35

She would be struggling, yeah.

0:20:350:20:38

But Ellie isn't struggling,

0:20:380:20:40

as she's found her dream dress

0:20:400:20:42

that she's about to show to her mum and bridesmaids.

0:20:420:20:44

-Ready?

-Yeah!

0:20:440:20:46

Aw...

0:20:460:20:47

Oh, Elle...

0:20:480:20:50

I really like that.

0:20:500:20:52

Oh, I'm crying!

0:20:520:20:53

I really like it.

0:20:530:20:56

Oh, Elle, it's perfect.

0:20:560:20:58

I love the lace, I really love it.

0:20:580:21:00

ALL: Mm.

0:21:000:21:02

Oh, God, Craig.

0:21:020:21:03

If Craig gets the dress wrong,

0:21:040:21:06

I think it will put a huge downer on the day,

0:21:060:21:09

so fingers crossed he doesn't completely screw it up.

0:21:090:21:12

After hours spent looking at strapless dresses,

0:21:140:21:17

the boys have whittled it down to two.

0:21:170:21:19

Oh, no!

0:21:190:21:22

Craig's favourite is a blingy, crystal encrusted gown...

0:21:220:21:26

but he thinks Ellie might prefer a ruched satin number.

0:21:260:21:29

Question is, which one to choose?

0:21:290:21:32

Oh, man.

0:21:320:21:34

What are you attracted to? Which one are you attracted to?

0:21:340:21:36

Oh...

0:21:360:21:38

I think she'll go for this one, but I like this one.

0:21:380:21:41

So it's hard.

0:21:410:21:43

Will he gamble on the one he wants,

0:21:430:21:45

or go with the one he thinks Ellie would like?

0:21:450:21:49

I like that one. If she was here now, I think she'd say I want this one.

0:21:490:21:52

But I think that one's nicer,

0:21:520:21:54

and I think she'll look better in that one.

0:21:540:21:57

I don't know.

0:21:570:21:59

I'm going this one.

0:22:020:22:03

Boom, decision.

0:22:030:22:04

-Yeah.

-Mate, good effort.

0:22:040:22:06

It's going to be a gamble, I just...

0:22:060:22:08

I just hope it's a gamble that pays off.

0:22:080:22:10

Craig's decided to gamble on the dress he likes.

0:22:100:22:12

No.

0:22:120:22:14

He might be a daredevil, but that could be his biggest risk yet.

0:22:140:22:17

Cheers, thank you very much.

0:22:170:22:19

Thank you, sorry for making you try on all the dresses.

0:22:190:22:22

And with £1,300 spent on the risky dress,

0:22:220:22:24

Craig's already blown over half his budget.

0:22:240:22:27

It's the middle of week two,

0:22:340:22:35

and Craig's about to give Ellie and mum Kerry a hint

0:22:350:22:38

of the adrenaline ride to come

0:22:380:22:40

by sending them to pick up Ellie's wedding invite

0:22:400:22:42

at Chessington World of Adventures.

0:22:420:22:44

Are you excited now?

0:22:440:22:45

-No.

-No!

0:22:450:22:46

The only problem is, before Ellie gets to see it...

0:22:490:22:51

MUSIC: Thriller by Michael Jackson

0:22:510:22:55

..she must first go on a roller coaster

0:22:550:22:57

as a clue of what's ahead.

0:22:570:22:59

SCREAMING

0:23:010:23:03

One happy bride.

0:23:150:23:17

Having braved the roller coaster,

0:23:170:23:20

Ellie finally gets to see her wedding invitation.

0:23:200:23:22

Don't Tell The Bride -

0:23:220:23:24

you are invited to Craig and Ellie's wedding,

0:23:240:23:26

Friday...Friday the 13th of June.

0:23:260:23:29

It's the worst possible date, it's the one I didn't want,

0:23:290:23:32

but it's the one I knew was going to come up,

0:23:320:23:34

I just had a feeling these last few days it was going to be the 13th.

0:23:340:23:38

Yep.

0:23:390:23:40

At least it's sooner, we've gotta wait less time.

0:23:400:23:43

Yeah.

0:23:430:23:44

Clearly disappointed, mum Kerry is soon speculating

0:23:440:23:47

as to why exactly they're sat in a theme park.

0:23:470:23:50

I think it's going to be something...

0:23:500:23:52

Like a theme park?

0:23:520:23:53

I don't know. I just think the ride -

0:23:530:23:55

there's a clue there, I think.

0:23:550:23:57

It's the beginning of week three,

0:23:590:24:01

and time for the bridesmaids to see what Craig has chosen

0:24:010:24:04

for them to wear on the big day - unaware that one of them,

0:24:040:24:08

along with Ellie, will be thrown out of a plane in it.

0:24:080:24:11

If this industrial estate is anything to go by,

0:24:110:24:13

by our dresses...

0:24:130:24:15

I'm not that impressed!

0:24:150:24:17

Aah!

0:24:180:24:19

Oh, it's so nice to see you.

0:24:210:24:24

Right, are we excited?

0:24:240:24:26

Yes. Nervous, excited, 50/50.

0:24:260:24:30

Right, don't go in yet. That's yours, Amber.

0:24:300:24:33

Right.

0:24:330:24:34

Because of...obvious reasons.

0:24:340:24:37

Right.

0:24:370:24:38

One of you has to decide who's more adventurous and who's the bravest.

0:24:380:24:41

-Oh,

-BLEEP

-off, Craig.

0:24:410:24:42

Between you.

0:24:420:24:44

Craig, what have you done?

0:24:450:24:47

When you say brave do you mean, like...?

0:24:470:24:49

What do you mean by brave?

0:24:490:24:50

On the day, one of you might have to be the bravest.

0:24:500:24:53

-Oh, man.

-Can we just do rock-paper-scissors?

0:24:570:25:00

Cos I'm not going to agree to do it,

0:25:000:25:01

and you're not going to agree to do it...

0:25:010:25:03

Yeah, go on, just do it. Go on, rock-paper-scissors.

0:25:030:25:05

One, two, three...

0:25:050:25:07

-Oh,

-BLEEP! LAUGHTER

0:25:070:25:09

Snip, snip, snip!

0:25:090:25:10

Without realising it, Natalie's just volunteered herself

0:25:100:25:13

to skydive with Ellie on the big day.

0:25:130:25:16

Oblivious, the girls try on their dresses.

0:25:160:25:18

SHE GASPS

0:25:180:25:19

Oh...

0:25:190:25:21

Not being allowed to skydive in dresses,

0:25:280:25:31

Craig has bought skydiving onesies

0:25:310:25:33

for Ellie and lucky bridesmaid Natalie.

0:25:330:25:36

Can you put the hood on, please?

0:25:360:25:37

Still, she does get a dress for when she lands...

0:25:400:25:43

-THEY CHEER

-Thank you.

0:25:430:25:45

..which is a relief.

0:25:450:25:46

I just don't get it. I don't know what it means -

0:25:460:25:49

if I knew what it meant,

0:25:490:25:51

then I would get it, but I don't get it at all.

0:25:510:25:53

No. But I suppose we'll know that on the day, won't we?

0:25:530:25:57

With Craig's plans still a mystery,

0:25:570:26:00

Amber fills Ellie in on what she does know

0:26:000:26:02

over a pre-wedding beauty treatment.

0:26:020:26:04

Last night, we got to see the dresses.

0:26:040:26:07

Yeah. And was everyone happy?

0:26:070:26:09

Yeah and no.

0:26:090:26:11

We've got to the dress place,

0:26:110:26:13

and there's three, like, little curtains

0:26:130:26:15

and behind each curtain, we thought, was three dresses.

0:26:150:26:19

So we've all pulled back our curtains

0:26:210:26:24

and behind the curtain was an owl onesie.

0:26:240:26:26

An owl onesie?! Why?

0:26:260:26:29

I don't know, Elle. And I suppose we'll find out the rest on Friday.

0:26:290:26:32

-What's the point of that?

-I don't know.

0:26:320:26:35

I don't get it.

0:26:350:26:36

What the hell has that got to do with anything?

0:26:360:26:39

The owl onesie being a topic of concern,

0:26:390:26:41

little do the girls know that's the least of their problems.

0:26:410:26:45

There's just a few days left until the big day,

0:26:510:26:53

and the boys are checking the budget

0:26:530:26:55

to see how much their adrenaline-themed wedding

0:26:550:26:57

has cost them so far.

0:26:570:26:58

Where are we with the budget?

0:26:580:27:00

I think we're at probably at about ten grand at the moment.

0:27:000:27:03

Right, let's start with big things.

0:27:030:27:05

Skydiving and ground rent, the use of the facilities, venue.

0:27:050:27:08

-Ellie's dress.

-£1,280 with shoes, veil, alterations.

0:27:080:27:13

With some food, entertainment

0:27:130:27:15

and last-minute decorations still to buy,

0:27:150:27:17

it's time to see if the £10,000 Craig thinks he's spent is correct.

0:27:170:27:22

£11,388...

0:27:220:27:25

50 pence.

0:27:250:27:27

That don't leave a lot... So you've done something wrong.

0:27:280:27:31

I think YOU might have done something wrong.

0:27:310:27:33

What did you think it was going to be?

0:27:360:27:38

Er...about ten.

0:27:380:27:40

He may be in control of his wedding idea,

0:27:400:27:43

but Craig seems to have lost all control over his budget.

0:27:430:27:46

Oh, mate, how did you make that mistake?

0:27:460:27:49

So we've sat down, broke everything down,

0:27:520:27:55

worked out all the costs - which we had a sort of rough idea.

0:27:550:28:00

But it's the first time we've actually broke every little bit down

0:28:000:28:04

and added it all up.

0:28:040:28:06

Schoolboy, really.

0:28:060:28:08

As the big day fast approaches, the budget's on the breadline.

0:28:130:28:18

It's time for Craig to arrange Ellie's hen do...

0:28:180:28:21

and these girls have big ideas.

0:28:210:28:23

-Guys, we've got a text.

-Oh!

0:28:230:28:26

"Hi girls, for Ellie's hen doo..." with a double O, "doo"...

0:28:260:28:30

THEY LAUGH

0:28:300:28:31

"We've organised a swanky bar in Central London

0:28:310:28:34

"for you all to party the night away with your own area,

0:28:340:28:37

"some drinks and food thrown in too.

0:28:370:28:39

"However, the only problem is you have to get there yourselves."

0:28:390:28:42

We're going to a bar in Central London -

0:28:460:28:48

the only problem is that I've got about 25 people now

0:28:480:28:50

that I've got to try and get there.

0:28:500:28:53

So we're going to have to try and get some taxis,

0:28:530:28:55

get ourselves to the station.

0:28:550:28:57

But, yeah, we just want to get going now.

0:28:570:28:59

With no choice but to slash the spends,

0:29:000:29:02

Craig's set aside just £100 for drinks and nibbles

0:29:020:29:06

at a club in London's pricey West End.

0:29:060:29:09

I think he's literally run out of money.

0:29:090:29:11

I think this is a good sign that the wedding's going to be really good.

0:29:110:29:15

Yeah. Or this is a sign of that...

0:29:150:29:17

This is a sign of what's to come!

0:29:170:29:18

He's that disorganised, he hasn't done, like...

0:29:180:29:20

He hasn't got us transport to the wedding,

0:29:200:29:22

-hasn't done anything like that.

-Oh, we'll see.

0:29:220:29:25

Over in East London, the stag do has kicked off too,

0:29:250:29:29

and it's not just the girls facing cutbacks.

0:29:290:29:32

Craig's got tough and made all the boys pay their own way.

0:29:320:29:35

And acting tough isn't easy when you're dressed as a fairy.

0:29:350:29:39

-ALL:

-Ohh!

0:29:390:29:40

We've put more effort into the wedding.

0:29:400:29:42

That's right, yeah.

0:29:420:29:44

The stag do, obviously,

0:29:440:29:46

you've got to compromise between the wedding and the stag do,

0:29:460:29:48

and I think Jamie's had really short notice.

0:29:480:29:50

It's been difficult, because there's quite a lot of people.

0:29:500:29:53

You make it sound like it's really rubbish.

0:29:530:29:55

-No, no, it's cool, it's cool.

-All right.

0:29:550:29:57

THEY CHEER

0:29:570:29:59

Right towards Piccadilly Circus.

0:30:030:30:06

Meanwhile after almost an hour's journeying into Central London,

0:30:060:30:10

the 25 hens are looking forward to being spoilt

0:30:100:30:13

on their big night out...

0:30:130:30:16

I hope we're nearly there.

0:30:160:30:17

Bit of a long one.

0:30:170:30:19

We should have got a taxi for Nan.

0:30:190:30:20

..only to find that Craig has put on a buffet and some balloons.

0:30:220:30:26

Hopefully Craig has spent so much on the wedding day

0:30:260:30:31

that that's why he's scrimped on the hen do,

0:30:310:30:34

and not that he's forgotten this because it's just not important.

0:30:340:30:38

I have faith.

0:30:380:30:39

-I have faith.

-Well, I do at the moment.

-I have hope.

0:30:390:30:42

Yeah, we have hope - that's it!

0:30:420:30:44

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

0:30:440:30:47

The next day, and as Craig recovers from his budget stag do,

0:31:060:31:10

he has time to reflect on the build-up to his wedding.

0:31:100:31:13

The last three weeks have been really difficult -

0:31:130:31:15

more difficult than what I would have suspected.

0:31:150:31:18

Initially, I think it's going to be, "What?"

0:31:180:31:20

You know? "What, I'm in my dress - my hair,

0:31:200:31:23

"what do I do about my shoes, what am I going to wear?"

0:31:230:31:25

Like, "I've got to get changed."

0:31:250:31:26

So, yeah, the bungee's going to be the big ask, I think.

0:31:260:31:29

The reason I'm doing these things for my wedding day

0:31:290:31:32

is because I've pushed her to do things,

0:31:320:31:33

maybe, that she's not comfortable with,

0:31:330:31:36

and I think she feel a lot more safer when I'm there.

0:31:360:31:38

And to celebrate that on our day is quite a significant meaning.

0:31:380:31:43

So, I think it'll be cool.

0:31:430:31:45

It'll be good.

0:31:450:31:47

Shall we roll back down?

0:31:490:31:51

It's the day before the wedding,

0:31:510:31:53

and Ellie, mum Kerry and the bridesmaids

0:31:530:31:55

are about to see the dress that Craig has bought for the big day.

0:31:550:31:58

Hello.

0:31:580:32:00

Little does Ellie know tomorrow she'll be bungee jumping in it

0:32:000:32:04

with a harness strapped round her as well.

0:32:040:32:06

-Are you nervous about seeing the dress?

-Yeah, really nervous.

0:32:060:32:09

-You are?

-Yeah.

-OK, would you like to come through?

0:32:090:32:11

I've got the dress here that Craig's chosen for you.

0:32:110:32:13

The dress is really important.

0:32:130:32:15

I really just want to feel comfortable and happy with it

0:32:150:32:18

so that I can relax and know that I can enjoy tomorrow.

0:32:180:32:21

Oh, it's in a bag!

0:32:240:32:25

Well, Ellie, this is your dress.

0:32:250:32:27

This is the moment you've been waiting for.

0:32:270:32:30

I think if he's done well, then it'll just top it.

0:32:300:32:33

If he hasn't, he'll know it by the time she gets there!

0:32:330:32:35

If he hasn't, there might not be a wedding.

0:32:350:32:37

Risk-taker Craig gambled on a strapless, revealing dress.

0:32:390:32:42

Ellie wanted something classic

0:32:420:32:44

with a high lace neck to cover her shoulders.

0:32:440:32:47

There's a lot riding on this choice.

0:32:470:32:49

-Come on, Ellie.

-Come on, yeah.

-Come on, Ellie.

0:32:530:32:57

Ohh!

0:32:570:32:58

Put it down.

0:32:580:33:00

I can't - hang on, it's really long.

0:33:000:33:02

-Ah, it's lovely, Elle.

-Oh, it's beautiful, Elle.

0:33:020:33:04

Let's see the back.

0:33:040:33:05

Oh, look at the bottom.

0:33:050:33:07

It's beautiful, Elle.

0:33:070:33:08

Oh, I really, really love it.

0:33:080:33:11

Yay!

0:33:110:33:12

-THEY CLAP

-He's done well.

0:33:120:33:14

Oh, my God!

0:33:160:33:18

One veil with crystals.

0:33:180:33:19

Yeah.

0:33:190:33:21

And one pair of shoes.

0:33:210:33:23

The shoes are lovely as well.

0:33:230:33:25

He's done really well. I really love the dress,

0:33:250:33:28

I love the veil, I've got shoes - it's beautiful.

0:33:280:33:31

I feel so relieved.

0:33:310:33:32

I'm so much more relaxed, now,

0:33:320:33:34

that I don't really mind what happens tomorrow,

0:33:340:33:36

because, no matter what, I've got a really lovely dress.

0:33:360:33:39

It is literally perfect.

0:33:390:33:41

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:33:410:33:42

Oh, Mum! Someone give her a hug.

0:33:440:33:46

Considering Craig's never even bought a dress of any kind before,

0:33:460:33:50

he's done really well.

0:33:500:33:52

With the wedding coming round tomorrow,

0:33:520:33:54

I'm a little bit apprehensive,

0:33:540:33:57

not quite sure what he's got planned.

0:33:570:33:59

Anything...going by the dress,

0:33:590:34:01

then I think we've got nothing to worry about.

0:34:010:34:04

With the fears of the onesie forgotten

0:34:040:34:06

and the budget hen do forgiven,

0:34:060:34:08

it seems that Craig's risky choice of wedding dress has paid off.

0:34:080:34:12

I don't know what to really think at the minute.

0:34:120:34:14

Like, he's done so well with everything,

0:34:140:34:17

I've just got no worries now about tomorrow.

0:34:170:34:20

I think the main thing is a venue and a dress for Ellie.

0:34:200:34:24

Once you've got that, anything else can sort of come along, can't it?

0:34:240:34:28

Everyone's delighted.

0:34:280:34:31

But just before they leave...

0:34:310:34:33

PHONE CHIMES

0:34:330:34:34

..Craig texts one last piece of news.

0:34:340:34:37

"Hi, girls, I've paid for a hotel for you all tonight.

0:34:370:34:39

"You have a couple of hours drive ahead of you.

0:34:390:34:41

"Can't wait to see you all.

0:34:410:34:43

"Getting close now, lots of love, Craig, kiss.

0:34:430:34:45

"PS, you'd best get a move on."

0:34:450:34:47

Oh, my God, what time do we have to leave?

0:34:470:34:49

-How many hours' drive?

-It just says a couple of hours.

0:34:490:34:51

As the girls head off on a two-hour journey

0:34:530:34:55

away from Ellie's beloved village...

0:34:550:34:57

Thanks, bye!

0:34:570:34:59

..the boys have arrived in Peterborough

0:35:020:35:04

to start setting up the marquee for the wedding reception.

0:35:040:35:07

-That looks sick.

-Do you think?

0:35:070:35:09

Yeah. Yeah, that looks cool, man.

0:35:090:35:11

-Do you think it looks all right?

-Yeah.

0:35:120:35:14

You don't think Ellie will be, like,

0:35:140:35:16

-"Why are we sitting on a park bench?"

-No.

0:35:160:35:18

I can't wait. I really can't wait.

0:35:180:35:20

I can't wait to skydive, I can't wait to bungee,

0:35:200:35:23

I can't wait to do the lot.

0:35:230:35:24

To me, it's relatively the normal.

0:35:240:35:26

It's two things I love doing,

0:35:260:35:28

and to do them on your wedding day - it's going to be amazing.

0:35:280:35:32

I hope she accepts it, and just - you know, enjoys it, really,

0:35:320:35:35

cos it's - at the end of the day, it's life, you have to enjoy it,

0:35:350:35:38

you only live once.

0:35:380:35:40

On the eve of her wedding,

0:35:440:35:46

the bride is left wondering why she's almost 200 miles away

0:35:460:35:49

from her local village,

0:35:490:35:50

where she dreamed of getting married.

0:35:500:35:53

Not really sure why we're this far away.

0:35:540:35:57

I keep trying to think of reasons why we would be somewhere like this.

0:35:570:36:03

He must have picked this area for a reason -

0:36:030:36:07

hopefully, it's something really good.

0:36:070:36:09

I am a little bit scared,

0:36:090:36:10

a little bit nervous that he might have something up his sleeve.

0:36:100:36:16

I'm not sure what's going to happen.

0:36:160:36:19

I just hope that it's going to turn out really well.

0:36:190:36:22

It's the morning of the wedding, but the boys still have a lot to do.

0:36:300:36:34

Craig is theming his marquee around the places he's been with Ellie.

0:36:340:36:38

But with just £250 left in the budget,

0:36:380:36:41

the boys have hit the discount aisles.

0:36:410:36:43

Let's go, man, we ain't got much time.

0:36:430:36:45

Over in a nearby B&B,

0:36:480:36:50

Ellie is reflecting on the day's significance.

0:36:500:36:53

Getting married is really important.

0:36:530:36:55

It's something that I've always wanted.

0:36:550:36:57

For my dad to be giving me away, it's a massive deal for my mum,

0:36:570:37:01

so, yeah, it's just really important for the whole family.

0:37:010:37:05

Back at the marquee,

0:37:070:37:08

Craig is quickly dishing up his budget banquet

0:37:080:37:11

for his travel-inspired reception.

0:37:110:37:13

Where's this shit going?

0:37:130:37:15

I don't know.

0:37:150:37:16

I'm worried about that, I don't care if it gets put up,

0:37:160:37:19

but you just worry about that later on.

0:37:190:37:21

I'm getting stressed now, yeah. Because the time's getting closer.

0:37:210:37:25

Really stressed.

0:37:250:37:26

Still got to do the skydive, finish off touches,

0:37:260:37:29

a lot to do and we've probably only got an hour and a half to do that.

0:37:290:37:33

Short on time and out of cash,

0:37:370:37:39

Craig's asked Ellie's dad Trevor to drive her to the wedding.

0:37:390:37:43

It's an ideal solution...

0:37:430:37:45

or at least it would have been, had Craig given decent directions.

0:37:450:37:49

As times ticks on, Trevor's very lost and very late.

0:37:490:37:53

-Are you feeling all right?

-Yeah.

0:37:530:37:55

Dad's not here yet.

0:37:550:37:56

-Don't worry, don't worry.

-They're a bit lost.

0:37:560:37:58

Ellie, don't get upset, don't get upset.

0:37:580:38:00

You'll be fine, Elle.

0:38:000:38:01

We're not going to leave without him, so don't worry.

0:38:010:38:04

He'll get here, it's fine. He's just a bit lost.

0:38:040:38:06

We'll get him, we'll get him.

0:38:060:38:07

-It'll be fine, Elle.

-Don't ruin your make-up.

0:38:070:38:10

It'll be fine, Elle. It's going to be amazing.

0:38:100:38:13

Ellie's wedding day is completely up in the air -

0:38:140:38:17

which is ironic,

0:38:170:38:19

because Craig's about to make his own skydive entrance.

0:38:190:38:22

But while he has no idea about Ellie's hold up,

0:38:280:38:31

down on the ground, the arriving guests have no idea...

0:38:310:38:34

Well, what's going on at all, really.

0:38:340:38:36

We're in an airfield, it's all very...scary.

0:38:360:38:38

I hope she doesn't have to jump out of an aeroplane!

0:38:380:38:41

I've no idea what he's doing. Really don't.

0:38:410:38:44

Meanwhile, with Craig in mid-flight...

0:39:120:39:14

..dad Trevor has touched down at Ellie's B&B.

0:39:160:39:19

THEY CHEER

0:39:190:39:22

Just the hour late, then.

0:39:220:39:24

Dad got a bit lost, so it was of a last minute worry

0:39:240:39:28

whether he was going to get here on time,

0:39:280:39:30

but he's here now.

0:39:300:39:32

I couldn't have gone without my dad, so I was getting really worried.

0:39:320:39:36

Look!

0:39:380:39:39

It was wicked.

0:39:550:39:56

What do you reckon to that?

0:39:560:39:58

-Brilliant.

-Was it scary?

0:39:580:40:00

Do you know what? I needed it. I needed that.

0:40:000:40:03

Are you stressed? Would you do it again?

0:40:030:40:06

-Yeah.

-Hey, mate.

0:40:060:40:08

Cheers, man.

0:40:080:40:09

As Craig lands, the wedding party consider what lies ahead for Ellie.

0:40:090:40:14

I wouldn't like this wedding.

0:40:140:40:16

-I'd like something quiet.

-Yeah.

0:40:160:40:18

Ellie's a girlie girl,

0:40:180:40:20

expecting, probably, to walk down the church in a lovely wedding dress

0:40:200:40:23

and then she's got to take the wedding dress off

0:40:230:40:25

and put a jumpsuit on and jump out of a plane.

0:40:250:40:28

I don't think she'd like that, not on her wedding day.

0:40:280:40:30

Back at the B&B, it's time for Ellie to reveal her dress.

0:40:300:40:35

THEY CHEER

0:40:370:40:39

-Beautiful!

-Well done.

0:40:390:40:41

Oh, Mum.

0:40:410:40:43

He is as well.

0:40:430:40:46

He's got his red wine!

0:40:460:40:47

LAUGHTER

0:40:470:40:49

Ellie's finally up and running,

0:40:490:40:51

but back at the venue, Craig's still having problems.

0:40:510:40:55

The minister has another appointment booked,

0:40:550:40:57

and, with things running late, time is running out.

0:40:570:41:01

As yet we've no bride, she has to do her skydiving,

0:41:010:41:06

she then has to go back into the hangar, get changed,

0:41:060:41:10

before we start the ceremony - so it's not looking good.

0:41:100:41:13

The bridal party have arrived having missed Craig's parachuting entrance.

0:41:160:41:21

And as mum Kerry buckles up on the front row...

0:41:210:41:24

with the bridesmaids walking through an aircraft hangar

0:41:240:41:27

full of parachutes, the penny's dropped.

0:41:270:41:30

Except Natalie has her own bomb shell.

0:41:300:41:33

I'm six weeks' pregnant.

0:41:330:41:35

Who is? The bride?

0:41:350:41:36

Can she do the activity planned?

0:41:360:41:38

Can I do what's planned?

0:41:380:41:39

I can't say yes or no, it's up to her.

0:41:390:41:41

-It's her choice.

-It's her choice.

0:41:410:41:43

I can't guarantee anything, she's got to make the decision.

0:41:430:41:46

-I think...I think Tara should do it.

-I think you should do it.

0:41:460:41:49

-OK.

-Is that OK?

0:41:490:41:50

-I don't think it's worth risking.

-OK.

-I really don't.

0:41:500:41:52

With Natalie carrying a passenger of her own,

0:41:520:41:55

Tara's up the creek without a paddle.

0:41:550:41:57

As she gets her head around being hurled out of a plane

0:41:570:42:00

with the bride, an oblivious Ellie and dad Trevor finally arrive.

0:42:000:42:04

Are we at an airport?

0:42:040:42:06

Are we flying somewhere?

0:42:060:42:08

-LAUGHS:

-Why the

-BLEEP

-am I at an airport?

0:42:160:42:18

-Craig's organised a bit of a surprise for you.

-I can tell.

0:42:180:42:21

It's your entrance into the wedding -

0:42:210:42:23

-not the actual wedding, just the entrance in, all right?

-OK.

0:42:230:42:25

So we're just going to go through here

0:42:250:42:27

-and you'll find out exactly what it is.

-OK.

0:42:270:42:29

-All right?

-Yeah.

-Come on, let's go.

0:42:290:42:31

Oh, my God.

0:42:310:42:33

What the hell is that?

0:42:330:42:34

So, here's your changing room.

0:42:340:42:37

Changing room? Oh, my God!

0:42:370:42:40

What the hell is that?

0:42:400:42:41

That is the outfit that you need to put on, OK?

0:42:410:42:43

Right.

0:42:430:42:44

Then you can do your entrance to the wedding.

0:42:440:42:47

-Do you want to tell her?

-Yeah.

0:42:470:42:49

-Hello, Ellie.

-Hi.

0:42:490:42:50

-I'm Chris, we're going to jump out of an aeroplane together.

-Oh, my God!

0:42:500:42:54

Tara's going to be with you the whole time.

0:42:540:42:56

-Tara!

-The whole time.

0:42:560:42:57

What, like, strapped to me?

0:42:570:42:59

Next to you.

0:42:590:43:00

-Next to me.

-Next to you, OK?

0:43:000:43:01

I'm going to be strapped to you.

0:43:010:43:03

You're strapped to me, OK.

0:43:030:43:04

I'm sure you're going to be fine.

0:43:040:43:06

Oh, my God.

0:43:060:43:08

I'm scared.

0:43:090:43:11

I'm really scared.

0:43:110:43:13

But just as she's getting ready to jump,

0:43:130:43:16

the minister's getting ready to leave.

0:43:160:43:18

She's due at her second booking,

0:43:180:43:20

so Craig's ceremony is on hold till she gets back.

0:43:200:43:23

Sorry to put a downer on your wedding day.

0:43:230:43:25

I swear I'll come back, see you soon.

0:43:250:43:27

I'm really concerned.

0:43:270:43:28

I'm concerned, and really worried about it,

0:43:280:43:31

so hopefully she hurries up, because we're running out of time.

0:43:310:43:34

Meanwhile, mum Kerry has seen an aeroplane taxiing into position

0:43:350:43:39

and has guessed what that means.

0:43:390:43:41

SHE SOBS

0:43:410:43:44

As the wedding party see Ellie disappear in the plane...

0:44:000:44:03

Oh, my God!

0:44:030:44:05

Aah!

0:44:050:44:07

Oh, my God!

0:44:070:44:09

..mum Kerry's worst fears are realised.

0:44:090:44:13

She'll be all right.

0:44:130:44:14

I don't want her to go in a plane.

0:44:140:44:16

MUSIC: Chandelier by Sia

0:44:230:44:25

# I'm gonna swing from the chandelier

0:44:460:44:54

# From the chandelier

0:44:540:44:57

# I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist

0:44:570:45:04

# Like it doesn't exist

0:45:040:45:08

# I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night... #

0:45:080:45:16

THEY CHEER

0:45:160:45:19

# I'm gonna swing from the chandelier

0:45:190:45:27

# From the chandelier

0:45:270:45:30

# But I'm holding on for dear life

0:45:300:45:32

# Won't look down, won't open my eyes

0:45:320:45:34

# Keep my glass full until morning light

0:45:340:45:37

# Cos I'm just holding on for tonight

0:45:370:45:40

# Help me I'm holding on for dear life

0:45:400:45:42

# Won't look down won't open my eyes

0:45:420:45:45

# Keep my glass full until morning light

0:45:450:45:48

# Cos I'm just holding on for tonight

0:45:480:45:50

# On for tonight... #

0:45:500:45:53

Thank God she's down safe.

0:45:580:46:01

The girls have survived.

0:46:050:46:07

More surprisingly, so has mum Kerry.

0:46:070:46:10

I felt sick, I felt ill, but now I don't give a damn what happens,

0:46:100:46:13

-anything can happen, I don't care.

-Yeah.

0:46:130:46:15

It's all good news from here...

0:46:150:46:18

Unless you count the bungee jump

0:46:180:46:19

and the fact that the minister's done a runner.

0:46:190:46:22

Cue best man Jamie.

0:46:220:46:23

We had a minister,

0:46:230:46:25

she was going to do this straight after...the skydive.

0:46:250:46:30

-But the minister - which is our

-BLEEP

-up,

0:46:300:46:33

cos we knew she had to go with timings and stuff -

0:46:330:46:36

she had to go and do something else.

0:46:360:46:39

Obviously, this was not the plan but shit happens.

0:46:390:46:42

I feel really sick.

0:46:420:46:43

And with that, Ellie faces a two-hour wait

0:46:430:46:46

in a rusty old air hangar...

0:46:460:46:48

while all the guests start the reception,

0:46:480:46:51

pre-wedding, without her.

0:46:510:46:52

Apparently the minister's gone home.

0:46:520:46:55

Wha...?

0:46:550:46:56

We're eating before the ceremony - what's that about?

0:46:560:47:00

If it's Craig's planning, it doesn't surprise me.

0:47:000:47:02

I think that's a typical man.

0:47:020:47:04

He's a typical man, and typical Craig.

0:47:040:47:06

Oh, my God.

0:47:090:47:11

-I've got a

-BLEEP

-hat mark.

0:47:110:47:13

We've been here, how long? Three and a half hours?

0:47:130:47:16

-Three hours and...nearly four hours.

-Ooh, OK.

0:47:160:47:19

-And we haven't had a wedding yet.

-No.

0:47:190:47:21

-The wedding's actually going to be sometime this evening.

-Yeah.

0:47:210:47:25

But with the food and a fair bit of drink polished off,

0:47:250:47:27

the minister returns.

0:47:270:47:29

It's time...

0:47:290:47:30

Are you all seated, please?

0:47:300:47:32

..finally, for Ellie to get wed.

0:47:320:47:34

It's, like, nearly 5 o'clock in the afternoon

0:47:340:47:37

and I still haven't seen Craig, so...

0:47:370:47:39

Just dying to get on with it now.

0:47:390:47:41

Cue best man Jamie...again.

0:47:410:47:43

So...

0:47:430:47:45

-After your epic entrance...

-Yeah.

0:47:450:47:50

I forgot...

0:47:500:47:52

Oh, are you kidding me?

0:47:520:47:53

I'm sorry.

0:47:530:47:55

-Are you joking?

-Are we getting married at some point today?

0:47:550:47:58

-You're going to get married right now.

-Right, let's go, then.

0:47:580:48:01

-But before that...

-This is...

0:48:010:48:02

But before that, this lady has gotta put something on you.

0:48:020:48:06

And who doesn't love a bungee harness with their wedding dress?

0:48:060:48:10

-Over her dress?

-How?

0:48:100:48:11

-Under your dress.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:48:110:48:13

It's going to hurt my legs.

0:48:140:48:16

No, but listen, listen...

0:48:160:48:18

Elle...

0:48:180:48:20

Just remember, what you're doing now is what Craig wants for you.

0:48:200:48:25

-Right.

-And he wouldn't do anything you don't want to do.

0:48:250:48:27

I don't want to get in the harness, J!

0:48:270:48:29

My harness has fallen down.

0:48:350:48:36

Here she is, look. Look!

0:48:360:48:38

There she is.

0:48:380:48:40

-What the

-BLEEP

-is that?

0:48:400:48:41

It's almost time for Ellie to take the plunge.

0:48:410:48:45

Hi!

0:48:530:48:54

After three weeks apart

0:48:570:48:59

and nearly five hours of waiting in an air hangar...

0:48:590:49:02

Oh, my God!

0:49:020:49:04

..Ellie finally gets the chance to throw her arms around Craig.

0:49:040:49:08

CHEERING

0:49:080:49:11

So far, everything seems forgiven for the skydive,

0:49:130:49:17

but there's one last thing Craig's forgotten for the bungee.

0:49:170:49:20

Can I really do this in a wedding dress?

0:49:200:49:22

My dress is going to go over my head.

0:49:220:49:24

-You've got shorts on, ain't you?

-No.

0:49:240:49:26

Oh, yes, the Lycra shorts - remember them?

0:49:260:49:29

Well, Craig didn't.

0:49:290:49:30

I haven't got anything on underneath.

0:49:300:49:32

What we'll do is, once we get you harnessed in,

0:49:320:49:34

I'll tie a bit of elastic around your dress.

0:49:340:49:36

That's that sorted. Time for another journey skywards -

0:49:370:49:41

and, on the plus side, it's not as high as the first one.

0:49:410:49:45

Oh, is that all we jump onto, Craig?

0:49:460:49:49

Oh, my God, it's really high.

0:49:500:49:52

Don't even worry about it, don't even look.

0:49:520:49:54

Shit.

0:49:540:49:55

Oh, my God!

0:50:010:50:03

Oh, my God.

0:50:030:50:05

And so here we are today.

0:50:120:50:14

Craig has done all of this for Ellie.

0:50:150:50:17

Whether it is what Ellie herself would have planned

0:50:170:50:20

is almost immaterial.

0:50:200:50:22

Ellie and Craig, could you please join hands?

0:50:220:50:26

So, Craig, do you promise to share your life with Ellie May

0:50:260:50:30

and will you pledge to love, honour and care for her

0:50:300:50:34

in tenderness and affection as long as you both shall live?

0:50:340:50:37

I do.

0:50:370:50:38

Ellie May, do you promise to share your life with Craig,

0:50:400:50:43

and will you pledge to love, honour and care for him

0:50:430:50:46

in tenderness and affection as long as you both shall live?

0:50:460:50:49

I do.

0:50:490:50:50

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

0:50:530:50:55

Craig, you may now kiss your bride.

0:50:550:50:57

CHEERING

0:50:570:50:59

I give you Mr and Mrs Hoadley!

0:50:590:51:02

Here we go again.

0:51:080:51:10

-All good.

-I'm so scared.

0:51:100:51:12

Woo-hoo!

0:51:180:51:20

Three, two, one...go!

0:51:200:51:25

Aah!

0:51:270:51:28

-Oh, my good God.

-Sick.

0:51:360:51:38

-How was that?

-Oh, I want to get down.

0:51:380:51:41

Oh, my God. I want to get down, Craig.

0:51:410:51:43

I need a drink - you will not believe what I've been through.

0:51:430:51:46

Craig, I feel really sick.

0:51:460:51:48

I've got to admit, I'm glad it's over!

0:51:540:51:56

-No, it is...

-I want to do it again.

0:51:560:51:57

-I'm scared of heights...

-Yeah, I know.

0:51:570:51:59

-..and I'm scared of flying.

-Yeah, I know.

0:51:590:52:01

You're scared of everything.

0:52:010:52:03

Woo!

0:52:030:52:04

She's down - without chucking up, crying or showing anyone her bits.

0:52:040:52:09

All in all, that's a result.

0:52:090:52:11

But what will she make of her reception?

0:52:110:52:14

Oh, it looks so good in here.

0:52:140:52:15

Oh, my God, look at the sweets, Elle!

0:52:150:52:17

Look at all the food. Oh, it looks so good.

0:52:170:52:21

Now, this is actually exactly what I wanted.

0:52:210:52:24

-Is this what you wanted?

-Yeah.

0:52:240:52:25

Oh, look, I've just realised, look at the flags.

0:52:250:52:28

He's done something for every country.

0:52:280:52:30

Are these all countries you've been to?

0:52:300:52:32

-Yeah, he's done a little theme.

-France...

0:52:320:52:35

-Oh, look!

-It's a little shisha corner.

0:52:350:52:38

Oh, Tara, is it the shisha?!

0:52:380:52:41

No! He's just put so much thought into it,

0:52:410:52:43

and it's just really lovely.

0:52:430:52:45

-Goddamn you, shisha.

-ELLIE LAUGHS

0:52:450:52:48

I've had a roller coaster of a day, but this is just amazing.

0:52:480:52:52

We can just relax now.

0:52:520:52:55

Here he is.

0:52:550:52:57

What do you reckon?

0:52:570:52:58

It looks really good.

0:52:580:53:00

It's the best I could do, short notice, but...

0:53:000:53:02

You know, I only had a couple of weeks.

0:53:020:53:04

Do you like it?

0:53:040:53:05

Yeah, I really like it.

0:53:050:53:06

The marquee's a hit -

0:53:090:53:11

no doubt partly because it's actually on the ground.

0:53:110:53:14

And although the reception started earlier than planned,

0:53:140:53:17

it swings back into action - this time with Ellie included.

0:53:170:53:21

I'd like to say to Ellie this has been

0:53:210:53:23

the hardest three weeks of my life, the most stressful.

0:53:230:53:26

I think you look beautiful and, er...

0:53:260:53:28

I love you very much.

0:53:280:53:29

I didn't think he'd put quite so much thought into it for Ellie.

0:53:340:53:39

Everything that's here's for Ellie.

0:53:390:53:42

Kerry accepted me into the family, she's provided a roof over my head.

0:53:420:53:46

I'd just like to say thank you for everything you've done for me.

0:53:460:53:49

I know how hard this was for you,

0:53:490:53:50

because you would have wanted to control every aspect of this wedding.

0:53:500:53:53

LAUGHTER

0:53:530:53:55

And I hope I've done you proud as much as Ellie.

0:53:550:53:58

These are for you.

0:53:580:54:00

Thank you.

0:54:000:54:01

I didn't expect Craig to pull something like this off.

0:54:010:54:04

-The bungee jump...

-That was the worst part of it, for me.

0:54:040:54:08

-To actually see it happen in front of your eyes...

-Yeah.

-..it was hard.

0:54:080:54:11

-Yeah, it does take it out of you.

-Yeah.

0:54:110:54:13

He's done really well.

0:54:130:54:14

Yeah, he has. Quite surprised us all.

0:54:140:54:17

And now we know he can do it, he can continue to do things.

0:54:170:54:22

I don't know about you, Craig...

0:54:220:54:24

That's the best wedding I've ever planned.

0:54:240:54:27

Ye-e-es!

0:54:310:54:33

Get in!

0:54:330:54:34

Yeah, OK, it's been my only one, but still the best.

0:54:340:54:36

Even if I plan another one, it won't be as good as this one.

0:54:360:54:39

Something that I've learned through this experience

0:54:390:54:41

is that...this guy

0:54:410:54:44

needs this girl to function.

0:54:440:54:48

Because without her, this guy's an idiot.

0:54:480:54:51

Obviously, if Ellie sat down and planned out at her own wedding,

0:54:530:54:57

it probably wouldn't involve skydiving and bungee jumping.

0:54:570:55:01

But the plan was, when she looks back on this,

0:55:010:55:04

goes, "You know what?

0:55:040:55:06

"Yeah, I wouldn't have planned it - but now I wouldn't change it."

0:55:060:55:10

In the end, the best wedding ever, so...

0:55:100:55:13

What more can you do?

0:55:130:55:15

I think you've done really well.

0:55:150:55:16

It's a really nice location, perfect setting.

0:55:160:55:20

I hated doing the bungee jump.

0:55:200:55:23

-You didn't want to do it, did you?

-No.

0:55:230:55:25

-Was there a bit of you that was...?

-I'd just done a skydive, Craig.

0:55:250:55:28

-Yeah, I know.

-I could handle the skydive,

0:55:280:55:30

and then I, like, got myself over it, I got myself dressed...

0:55:300:55:33

-Did you not know about the bungee?

-No!

-What, until you walked round?

0:55:330:55:36

Until someone came in with a harness

0:55:360:55:38

and I was like, "What the hell is it?"

0:55:380:55:40

I wouldn't have jumped if you hadn't jumped.

0:55:400:55:42

It was only cos we were stuck together.

0:55:420:55:46

Never doing another skydive or a bungee again,

0:55:460:55:49

I've done enough now.

0:55:490:55:51

Skydive - do a skydive.

0:55:510:55:53

No more.

0:55:530:55:54

-No more, no.

-To be continued.

-No way.

0:55:540:55:57

-Next week...

-Girls do that - gays don't do that.

0:56:000:56:03

Former drama student Jack...

0:56:030:56:04

GASPS: Oh, my God!

0:56:040:56:06

..is hoping to impress his husband-to-be, James,

0:56:060:56:09

by putting on a play and a wedding.

0:56:090:56:11

But with James desperate for a traditional day...

0:56:120:56:15

Just a little bit scared now.

0:56:150:56:16

SCREAMING

0:56:160:56:17

..what happens when our groom takes on a literary classic?

0:56:170:56:21

Midsummer Night's Dream.

0:56:210:56:23

Will it be a Midsummer Night's Dream...

0:56:230:56:25

or a Shakespearean tragedy?

0:56:250:56:28

-What the hell is going on?

-Stop.

0:56:280:56:30

# Come fly with me

0:56:300:56:33

# Let's fly, let's fly away

0:56:330:56:37

# If you can use some exotic booze

0:56:370:56:41

# There's a bar in far Bombay

0:56:410:56:45

# Come fly with me

0:56:450:56:46

# Let's fly, let's fly away

0:56:460:56:50

# Pack up, let's fly away. #
