0:00:02 > 0:00:09- Every girl...- I do.- ..likes to take control of her wedding.
0:00:09 > 0:00:14So what happens when she has no say on her big day?
0:00:14 > 0:00:16- They are awful. - We're not doing it.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Don't Tell The Bride is back.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19This is ridiculous.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22As ever, the grooms are in charge.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24I want there to be a donkey, at the wedding.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26I'm going to look lovely on my big day.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28But with £12,000 to spend...
0:00:28 > 0:00:31and just three weeks to throw the wedding of their dreams...
0:00:31 > 0:00:33I love it!
0:00:33 > 0:00:36..have the boys pushed themselves too far?
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Oh, my God! You're fired.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40With more shocking,
0:00:40 > 0:00:43more outrageous,
0:00:43 > 0:00:45and more daredevil weddings than ever before,
0:00:45 > 0:00:48will there be a happy ever after?
0:00:48 > 0:00:50This is not the thing you get wrong the day before your wedding.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Will true love save the day?
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Mum, what is that? Mum, what is that?
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Or is it a countdown to disaster?
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Three, two, one.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Tonight, the groom who doesn't actually want a wedding...
0:01:04 > 0:01:06It is essentially a piece of theatre for the crowd.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09..plans the biggest day of his bride-to-be's life.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10This is the one.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13But will the steps he's taking to avoid the traditional...
0:01:13 > 0:01:16I don't know many people who've had a wedding on top of a car park.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19..have her sprinting for the exit?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- God, I'm going to kill him. - They're plimsolls, aren't they?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Can his unconventional dress save the day?
0:01:24 > 0:01:25This is hideous.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Or has he completely forgotten it's a wedding?
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- In here?- You've got to remember that it's not a party.- Yes.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32It is a wedding.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46East London lovebirds Hollie and James met eight years ago
0:01:46 > 0:01:49when they worked in a Chinese noodle bar.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51I taught Hollie how to serve noodles.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54It was a weird situation to get to know someone
0:01:54 > 0:01:55cos he was, like, my boss.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58But there was no canoodling in the noodle bar for these two.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01I wasn't really blown away. Like, he had really bad trainers on,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03and obviously you always look at a guy's shoes.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07It took two whole years for James to sort out his shoes
0:02:07 > 0:02:09and send Hollie head over heels.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Cue the romantic "I love him so much" speech.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Gradually became good friends... - Yeah.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- ..and, that was it, really, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18Oh.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Doors were closing for us both and...
0:02:20 > 0:02:22SHE LAUGHS
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- For you, perhaps.- Very good.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Yeah, we went for drinks and I suppose it went from there.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29They love each other, really.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32But they have an even greater love in common.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I just love there's so much to do in London.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- It's like the world on your doorstep.- Yeah, it is.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41With so much on offer, you'd think London-loving James
0:02:41 > 0:02:43would have plenty of ways to woo Hollie.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I like romance, I think it's a good thing.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47I'm sure Hollie wishes I would be a lot more romantic,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I'm just not very good at it.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52So romance isn't his strong point.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55But then again, neither is his memory.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57He's not good with dates, either.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- I said, "What day is it?" - "It's Tuesday."
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- That wasn't the right answer. - "It's my birthday, James."- Yeah.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I've only ever seen her cry six times,
0:03:06 > 0:03:09and those six times have always been her birthday.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13James may have been the boss when they met, but there's no doubting
0:03:13 > 0:03:14who's in charge now.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18I think everyone gets that I'm in charge.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Not in charge, I'm like a friendly boss.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- It's true, you are the boss.- I'm not the boss.- Hollie's in charge.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27She's even got her own emergency service to keep James in order.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I didn't know about the bed police
0:03:29 > 0:03:32until Hollie made it very clear that if I left the house having not
0:03:32 > 0:03:35made the bed properly, the bed police would be round
0:03:35 > 0:03:39and they would inform Hollie on me, and then Hollie would tell me off.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41You might get a fine or a warning.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- But you won't get put in jail yet, don't worry.- Thanks.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47And it's not just the house she's got in order.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50She knows exactly what kind of wedding she wants, too.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54The wedding day itself is really important. I like old things.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I love vintage things.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59So, something kind of traditional, somewhere in the countryside
0:03:59 > 0:04:03with loads of twee little table dressings and flowers.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Kind of going back to my roots, like, in Lincolnshire.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Sounds lovely.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11But for unromantic James, there's just one problem with weddings -
0:04:11 > 0:04:13he hates them.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I don't like the stupid clothes. I don't like the silly outfits.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20I hate the speeches, they're never funny and everyone hates doing them.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23The first dance is ridiculous. The music's always awful.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27The food is pretty average. And the vows are cringeworthy.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Told you.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33So he's planning a wedding for a bride who loves weddings,
0:04:33 > 0:04:35even though he really hates weddings.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Shouldn't be a problem at all.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39We talk about it, don't we, quite a lot?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42About our points of view on weddings and it ends up with Hollie going,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45"Well, you'd have to do this." And I go, "Why do you have to do that?"
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- And get all grumpy about it. - We stopped talking about it.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52With weddings so far off the agenda, this couple aren't even engaged.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Why are we not engaged?- Well, there'd be no point in getting engaged
0:04:55 > 0:04:58because we just couldn't decide on a wedding.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02I think it got to a place where we knew one of us
0:05:02 > 0:05:04would have to make a compromise.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08I just kind of thought it was going to be James making a compromise.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13It's fine, he'll eventually do what I want. But that didn't happen.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17So, I guess this is me compromising.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Well, considering James doesn't want a wedding,
0:05:20 > 0:05:22surely he's compromised enough?
0:05:22 > 0:05:25This is shocking, that we're here.
0:05:25 > 0:05:31Yeah. It is surprising. I don't know why I'm here.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34I feel strong-armed into this, to say the least.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Aw, how romantic.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40The question now is, will Hollie get what she wants
0:05:40 > 0:05:42when it comes to her big day?
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Whether you admit it or not, you are putting me slightly to the test.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Would you agree with that?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Yeah, I guess so.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54And, you're kind of going, "You should do it to prove it to me."
0:05:54 > 0:05:56That you actually... I'm as committed to this relationship
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- and love you as much as... - Yeah, I guess so.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I am petrified about the next three weeks,
0:06:02 > 0:06:05just because I have six years of experience in knowing that
0:06:05 > 0:06:09when you get something really wrong...
0:06:09 > 0:06:13she'll be really upset. And this is as big as it gets.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20It's time for Hollie and James to say goodbye.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Straighteners. - Yep.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Don't make it bad. - I'll try my hardest.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28The next time they see each other will be in three weeks,
0:06:28 > 0:06:29at their wedding.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- Bye-bye.- Good luck.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- I'll see you in three weeks. - Yeah, I know.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41But before I do, I have a very important question for you.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45It's about time wedding-phobic James finally made things official.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Hollie Belton, in three weeks' time,
0:06:47 > 0:06:51will you do me the honour of being my wife?
0:06:54 > 0:06:55SHE GIGGLES
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Yes. If it fits.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02It doesn't fit, it's enormous. But, you know. There we go.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Yep, nothing says official like a cheap novelty ring.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12And for Hollie, reality is setting in.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16I'm a little bit worried, but I'm excited more than anything.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17At the moment.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19RING CLINKS
0:07:19 > 0:07:22SHE LAUGHS
0:07:22 > 0:07:24The ring's slightly on the big side.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I'm just going to have to grip it.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29While Hollie makes her way to her parents in rural Lincolnshire,
0:07:29 > 0:07:32London-loving James, along with his best man, Tom,
0:07:32 > 0:07:36head to one of the city's most stunning views.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40And speaking of views, James has got some pretty unusual ones
0:07:40 > 0:07:42when it comes to his wedding plans.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I'm wondering whether the wedding should just be a really
0:07:45 > 0:07:48brilliant and beautiful celebration of London and where we live.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51A lot of London, let's be honest, is a bit dingy, and gritty
0:07:51 > 0:07:54and I love the idea of just taking something which is not particularly
0:07:54 > 0:07:58attractive, like a disused car park or disused warehouse space.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Just something which feels really dark and dingy and horrible,
0:08:00 > 0:08:04but turn it into, like, this amazing kind of beautiful,
0:08:04 > 0:08:05spectacular environment.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Something that if you wrote it on paper, and gave it to Hollie,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11she would freak out. But I think once she was actually involved in it,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- she'd be like, "Oh, actually, this is kind of amazing."- Sounds foolproof.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15HE LAUGHS
0:08:15 > 0:08:19So, a wedding which bears absolutely no resemblance to a wedding.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Brilliant. Completely unaware of what James is planning,
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Hollie's made the three-hour journey back to her family home.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29There'll always be, like, part of my heart in Horncastle.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32It's kind of where I grew up and made me who I am.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33I really love it there.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38First to meet her are sisters Gem and Sof,
0:08:38 > 0:08:40and they've already heard the big news.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45- Let's see the ring then. Oh, wow.- What is that?
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Looks expensive. Good quality.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52And Mum's clearly impressed, too.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Oh, my God, Hollie.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56THEY LAUGH
0:08:56 > 0:08:58You better put it in a safe.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00With a ring that'll go down in family history
0:09:00 > 0:09:02for all the wrong reasons,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05the girls hope the wedding will be remembered for all the right ones.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- How are you feeling, then, about it all?- I'm petrified.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- Are you actually really worried? - Yes!
0:09:10 > 0:09:13You're dreading it, aren't you? You are.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15What do you think he will do?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Ooof, I just don't know.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- He doesn't like half of the things that a wedding involves.- Oh, no.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- That's the point.- Oh.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- That's why we're here.- But I wanted to celebrate a marriage.- Yeah.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30And James would rather have just kind of ran away and hidden it.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36But James isn't running away. He's busy planning.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39The problem is what he's planning, which is less of a wedding
0:09:39 > 0:09:41and more of a party.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Worse still, he wants it in this car park.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48This place at night actually is genuinely quite scary.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Where?- I think it's that black door up there.- That door over there?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Literally, that is a complete opposite to an entrance to a church.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56A pee-smelling doorway.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01A bit of pee won't put James off.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03With its rooftop bar in summer,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06this is literally James' number one venue.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Here we go.- Yeah. Car park. - It's a car park.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Right.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Back in Horncastle, home-loving Hollie has more traditional thoughts
0:10:16 > 0:10:18on where she'd like to get married.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21The church I'd like to get married in is a small,
0:10:21 > 0:10:25kind of local church where my sisters and parents got married.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29It's very traditional. Kind of stained glass windows.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31A really nice old church.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Along with her sisters and mum,
0:10:33 > 0:10:35she's taking a trip down memory lane.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38That's my favourite part, the window at the end.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- Yeah, it looks really pretty doesn't it? It's lovely.- Yeah.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I don't think it's even about the church, how it even looks.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46It's just that it has lots of memories.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51You getting married here... You getting married here.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- You getting married here. - Yeah. We all got married here.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Nan. Nan and Grampy got married here.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Shall we just walk down the aisle just in case I don't get to?
0:11:00 > 0:11:05- Not on this one.- There is a Belton. H Belton.- Ah, it's a sign.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- The Belton family name is dying a death after you get married.- Yeah.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13So that's why I need to get married here, so it's like the final one.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Full circle.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18But while Hollie wants to celebrate her family, James' Peckham venue
0:11:18 > 0:11:23calls to mind another family altogether - the Trotters.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Here we are. That's an amazing view.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32If the idea was to try and do something completely different
0:11:32 > 0:11:36where you actually captured London, I think this is kind of perfect.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40I don't know many people who've had a wedding on top of a car park.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43There's a good reason for that, James, you plonker.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49History defines where you come from, doesn't it?
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- I think you are who you are... - And is that important to you?- Yeah.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Just because I moved away doesn't mean, like,
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- my home town isn't important to me. Of course it is.- That surprises me,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02because I didn't think you were as sentimental as that.
0:12:02 > 0:12:10I think there's something quite quaint and cute about this location.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Is that the only thing, if James has something in London,
0:12:13 > 0:12:16are there many, like, quaint and cute locations?
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- I'm sure there are, but not that mean as much to me.- Yeah.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23But James' venue means a lot to him.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25It has breathtaking views of London,
0:12:25 > 0:12:29and litter, and abandoned cars. But still.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33He's discussing price with Freddy, who works for the art collective
0:12:33 > 0:12:36who host the trendy summer bar here.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Really excited to be helping you out.- Awesome.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41How much would it cost to hire for an evening?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Normally we charge about £5,000 for a complete dry hire.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48We're willing to negotiate on the price, maybe take it down to £4,000.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Thank you. Great to meet you, too.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55With the bar still closed for the next few weeks, they can only dream
0:12:55 > 0:12:56of how it will look.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58I mean, a view in itself is enough,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01but I think with a bit of imagination, and a few,
0:13:01 > 0:13:04you know, a bit of thought, I think it could look quite nice up there.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08It could look quite nice. Just not necessarily for Hollie's wedding.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13And so, with his heart set on a rooftop party, James heads home.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Back in Lincolnshire, Hollie's parents are wondering why you would
0:13:17 > 0:13:20let a man who hates weddings plan your wedding.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23When did you decide that you were both going to get married?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Well, we always talked about it.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28He asked me to get married a couple of times. I said no because
0:13:28 > 0:13:31we couldn't come to an agreement and so we just didn't bother.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Didn't bother until I thought,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36"Well, what if I let James organise it all?
0:13:36 > 0:13:40"What will he do?" And then somehow, he agreed to do it.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42We'd like to just see you happily married.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Divorce rate's high enough, Hollie, without...
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Well, let's worry about getting married first.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51The Peckham rooftop isn't a registered wedding venue.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Thankfully, and fairly unexpectedly, James has realised that.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56I would like to get married.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59So he's booking a registry office for the day after his party -
0:13:59 > 0:14:01erm, ceremony.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03That is wonderful news, thank you.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Legal wedding booked, James and his mate Matt are about to confirm
0:14:07 > 0:14:09the car park for his party.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11So it'll be Saturday May 3rd.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- WOMAN:- 'The bar is booked in
0:14:14 > 0:14:16'between the 20th April and the 15th May.'
0:14:16 > 0:14:20But there's a problem. The rooftop bar will be under construction
0:14:20 > 0:14:23the day James plans on getting married.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26'Let me find out about these things and I'll get back to you tomorrow.'
0:14:26 > 0:14:27OK. Bye-bye.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29BLEEP
0:14:32 > 0:14:35The venue that I kind of had my heart set on
0:14:35 > 0:14:38and had been planning around, suddenly might not be available.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Lots of nice roof terraces around, but that was a bit more special.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44So, yeah.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54James' car park dream has stalled.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Still, he won't let that spoil his party.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Time to find some entertainment.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03Keen to keep his wedding local, he's had the perfect idea.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07He's going to hire Mike, their friendly neighbourhood busker.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Hey. Beautiful.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13I'm getting married, which is kind of great news.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17And me and my girlfriend have been walking past you, like,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20practically every week for the last three years, and I'd love it if you
0:15:20 > 0:15:24could come down for an hour and play some of your music for my guests.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Oh, I would love to. I would love to do it.- That's great.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29I think I really like it. She loves the little touches when you
0:15:29 > 0:15:32do something which is really thoughtful and relevant to her life.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I think it's a nice little touch that she'll really appreciate.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38So that's the entertainment, booked. But James has had some bad news.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43We've just heard from the car park that they're pulling out.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Which means the wedding cannot be held there.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50So we need to find a new venue. And quickly.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Which is a bit of a kick in the teeth,
0:15:54 > 0:15:57because it was a great venue and it was perfect.
0:15:57 > 0:16:03So, yeah, it's a bit of a start-again job I think.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Could James' car park calamity be the saviour of Hollie's big day?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Hi, yes. I'm looking for a venue for my wedding.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16A country house? A posh hotel? Maybe a stately home.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Ideally, a multistorey car park with great views.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I desperately need something.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I'm just wondering if your car park has any availability?
0:16:23 > 0:16:26James' car park plan has hit the skids.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Still, London's got plenty of other rooftops.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30That's an amazing view.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35He's not willing to give up on his dream of a gritty building.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37That place isn't grimy or nasty, it's beautiful.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39I don't think it shows Hollie
0:16:39 > 0:16:42quite the effort that I want to demonstrate.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49So it's back to Del Boy's stomping ground in Peckham. Cushty.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55And a former cricket bat factory.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- The first time you see that, you're just like...- Wedding venue?- Exactly!
0:16:58 > 0:17:00It's a pretty spectacular site.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03But will this bowl Hollie over? Or just leave her stumped?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- I like the idea of people being uncertain as they walk in.- Yeah.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- "Is he for real?" - Yeah, kind of!
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- It's nice.- We can have a game of five-a-side on here.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- It's a better view than I thought. There's the car park.- Yeah.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22You can't complain at that.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- It's pretty noisy.- It is. - I think noise adds charm.- Yeah.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28It adds a kind of realism to the whole thing. I think it's nice.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31It is not quite as dramatic but this is a good space.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34The best views in London.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36James is meeting Gerry, who runs the rooftop.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37How much do you charge?
0:17:37 > 0:17:40I normally ask for around, about a grand and half.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44So James stumps up £1,500 on a former factory.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47The perfect place for his urban rooftop party.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54In Lincolnshire, Hollie's brought her mum, sisters and friend Becky
0:17:54 > 0:17:57to choose her ideal dress for her dream wedding.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02I want to wear something with lace.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Something quite vintage.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Maybe a little bit quirky. Not the norm.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Oh, my gosh. Not sure.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10It's got too many bits going on.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13They're a bit sparkly. Bit frilly.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Bit scary. I'm not sure about the sleeves.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19I think maybe they're a bit too sparkly.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I don't like any of this.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I don't know what I'm looking for.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27I'm really not sure, something that's maybe not in this room.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33If it's not there, hopefully it's in this east London clothes shop.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39James has decided to buy vintage, which to him means one thing.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Vintage clothing essentially is mostly second-hand clothes.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45In short, I suppose, I'm looking for a second-hand wedding dress.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Wow. That's for you, Tom, that is. - How about this?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54It's not a terrible dress.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- Shall we put it on the...?- The pile worthy of further consideration.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00So not a terrible dress is the kind of criteria for the dress
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Hollie's going to get married in?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- '60s vision of the future. - Mm. Yellow as well.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09That might just be because it's old. Or coated in someone's urine.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- It's a stain. Could be blood. - It could be blood.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13We'll find something.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Whilst the boys' gauge for a good dress
0:19:15 > 0:19:17is whether or not it's blood stained,
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Hollie's standards are a tad higher.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22And she's struggling to find one she likes.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- Ah, that's very sparkly. - It does look pretty.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28I'm not keen on the front because my boobs are way too small.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30I don't think it's the one for you.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34I feel so silly.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36For once, James seems to be on the right track.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Starting to get somewhere.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41He's looking at a vintage dress with short lacy sleeves.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45I mean, with all these you've got the problem that they've been used.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47I think Hollie will see the charm in that.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50No, OK, well, let's go with that.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Amazingly, back in Lincolnshire,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Hollie's trying on a lacy cap-sleeve dress.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Could the boys be onto a winner?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Feel like an old lady.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Uh-oh.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06So this is what I thought it would look like in my mind,
0:20:06 > 0:20:09but now I've tried it on, I feel really stiff.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12You've now tried on what you think you want,
0:20:12 > 0:20:13but you don't like it at all.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16So how's James going to be able to choose anything,
0:20:16 > 0:20:18if you don't know what you want?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- Lots of hope! - Poor man.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25- I'm Hollie.- I think the one on my right is too discoloured.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30It's gone. That leaves us with one not hideously offensive dress.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32It's only really scraping the definition
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- of not hideously offensive.- Yeah.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38And not very... It's not very nice.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Luckily, even James knows that not very nice isn't good enough.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45He wants Hollie to look stunning when she's standing on the roof
0:20:45 > 0:20:47of that cricket bat factory.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50So he turns to a fashion website on the internet.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- It's got lace, important. And it's definitely wedding-y.- Mm.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- It's not bad. - I think it's really nice.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- It's got a pocket, look. - That's quite cool.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Yeah, pockets are cool.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02But Hollie might have found her dream dress.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- Oh, yeah, I like that. - Yeah.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06And it doesn't have pockets.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Where on earth will she put her spare change?
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Quite vintage those shoulders.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Oh, turn around, let's have a look at the back.
0:21:12 > 0:21:17- Yeah, that looks really pretty. - I like that it's got straps.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20And I like the detail around the neck and on the shoulders.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21And I love the back.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Cos my back's way better than my boobs, so...
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Luckily, James is looking at an elegant backless number, too.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32This is totally not a wedding dress.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- Does she like her back?- I don't think it's a part of her body
0:21:35 > 0:21:37she feels particularly comfortable revealing to the world.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Oh, so near, James, and yet so far.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- This is the one.- Is it the one? - This is the one.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Hollie's finally found her one.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48An elegant long vintage-style dress
0:21:48 > 0:21:52with diamante straps and exposed back.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54But James has plumped for the complete opposite -
0:21:54 > 0:21:57a short cotton dress with covered back.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- I really like this one.- It's cool.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02It's a knee-length skirt, but the way it's folded, creates, I think,
0:22:02 > 0:22:05quite a little hint of surprise, which makes it feel a little
0:22:05 > 0:22:09different from the straight, you know, sleeveless, knee-length dress.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I think it's really nice and I can see Hollie in it.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- You're pleased with yourself, aren't you?- A little bit.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18It's not a wedding dress, but James thinks he's cracked it
0:22:18 > 0:22:21with this statement Vivienne Westwood number.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26With the venue and dress sorted, James heads to Maidenhead
0:22:26 > 0:22:29to tell his older brother Doug all about the plans.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Trouble is, they're not sure who else from the family will come.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35It'll be nice to have some Fraser representation there.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- It's a shame that certainly if Claire and Ann can't come.- Yeah.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41It'd be great if Claire could come, she would love to come, as well.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Robert's travelling, which is a shame.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Emma said maybe, but the kids and family stuff.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- It's family, isn't it? It's difficult.- Yeah. That's fine.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50James may not mind who turns up
0:22:50 > 0:22:54but for Hollie, this wedding's all about family.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56I didn't want to just run away.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59I wanted to make sure everyone was there,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- so it's a celebration with everyone. - Mm-hm. You see that surprises me,
0:23:02 > 0:23:05because I would have said that you and James would have...
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I can't believe you're surprised by that.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Why do you find that so surprising? I like big parties and...
0:23:11 > 0:23:14I think probably also because James' brothers
0:23:14 > 0:23:18- and sisters have all done that. - Yeah. That's why he wanted to do it.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20But I didn't want to just run away.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22It's a Fraser family thing, I suppose,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- not doing weddings the traditional way.- We ran away to Thailand.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29We did actually have a plan and did think about doing it in the UK,
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- but so many other people then bring in their expectations...- Yes!
0:23:32 > 0:23:34And you start thinking, "Well, actually, no, I had a vision
0:23:34 > 0:23:36"for this and I was going to do it.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41- "I don't want to buy bridesmaids' dresses."- No. I'm exactly the same.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Exactly that same place.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46- I feel guilty that I've given him this stress.- Why?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Cos there's actually quite a lot to do.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Do you not think that he'll just do a wedding how he wants it, though?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I've said to him, "I understand you don't like everything
0:23:54 > 0:23:56"I want to do, so do it your way."
0:23:56 > 0:23:59So I'm hoping that he's not going to take that as,
0:23:59 > 0:24:03- "I'm going to do it exactly as I know she will hate."- Mm. Yeah.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Because that's not really who I want to marry.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Oh, gosh.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14But will she want to marry a man who won't buy her bridesmaids' dresses?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17I'll get it wrong and they won't like them,
0:24:17 > 0:24:20and it just seems like a waste.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23He's telling the girls to buy their own dresses,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25and he's insisting on a colour theme.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26A little black bridesmaid's dress.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- I don't know why I'm tempted by black.- Three girls, black dresses.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30- BOTH:- Wow.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Well, at least black should hide the dirt from that roof.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Even though James isn't buying the dresses,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41he will be accessorising them with name badges.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42He's just spoiling those girls now.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45In a weird kind of way I almost see it as the equivalent
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- of having a big birthday badge on. - Yeah.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48It's "I'm the bridesmaid".
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- We've got to decide what they actually say, I assume?- Yeah.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Do any of your bridesmaids have any kind of nickname
0:24:54 > 0:24:55or anything like that?
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Two of the bridesmaids are Holly's sisters, Gem and Sof.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Nicky, the main bridesmaid, is called Stinks,
0:25:02 > 0:25:04which is vaguely charming.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05How much is that?
0:25:05 > 0:25:06They're 47.50 each.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13We've got Gem, and we've got a Stinks, and we've got a Sof.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15- Oh, they're well good. - They're amazing.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I hope she doesn't mind being called Stinks.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19I think she'll find it affectionate.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Let's hope Nicky doesn't kick up a STINK when she sees her necklace.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26We're about to find out,
0:25:26 > 0:25:27because James has asked Hollie's friends
0:25:27 > 0:25:30to deliver the bridesmaids a package.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31It contains a note
0:25:31 > 0:25:34explaining that they'll have to buy their own dresses.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Where's the love, James? Where is the love?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40And their nickname necklaces.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41Ahh.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43They're big and quite bold.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46But they're not as hideous as I thought.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Turns out they like them.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53Back in London, Nicky's receiving hers from Hollie's friend, Nora.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54Oh, my God.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58Oh, my God!
0:25:58 > 0:26:00That's our nickname for each other.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- Stinks?- Stinks.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Every text message, every e-mail, "Hi, Stinks, love you, Stinks."
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Well, it's not very...subtle.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12No. It's not.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14A black dress...
0:26:14 > 0:26:16and Stinks...
0:26:16 > 0:26:19plastered round my neck.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23It's quite fun. Would I pick it for my wedding?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27James has stitched me up good and proper!
0:26:27 > 0:26:30It shocked me, and I know James and I know Hollie.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31And...
0:26:31 > 0:26:34I never expected that.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Thanks, James!
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Don't thank him yet, he's not finished.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Nicky shouldn't worry about people staring at her name badge...
0:26:42 > 0:26:44not when they'll be staring at her head.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46They can have a pineapple in their hair.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50I'm sold. I love the idea of giving the bridesmaids a pineapple.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52While Hollie's wearing a simple summer outfit,
0:26:52 > 0:26:55James buys himself a sharp formal suit.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58And instead of traditional shoes for the bride,
0:26:58 > 0:26:59he buys a pair of trainers.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02I'm quite excited now. This is great.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04This is like one of those car-crash ideas
0:27:04 > 0:27:06that actually turns out, could be amazing.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07LAUGHTER
0:27:07 > 0:27:09They're customised trainers, though...
0:27:09 > 0:27:10so that's all right, then.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15It's two weeks since Hollie last saw James,
0:27:15 > 0:27:18and with no idea when her wedding is even happening,
0:27:18 > 0:27:21she's back in London, staying with Nicky on her houseboat.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24How does it feel not knowing anything?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27It's driving me insane!
0:27:27 > 0:27:30It's actually driving me insane.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32So I thought this would be really fun
0:27:32 > 0:27:35and like, "Oh, it'll be a nice surprise."
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- Actually it's the- BLEEP- surprise I've ever experienced in my life.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Little does she know, she's about to receive her invite...
0:27:42 > 0:27:44via Mike the busker.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Have you got any idea?
0:27:46 > 0:27:48I have just said now, I genuinely don't know.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50You're going to find out when you find out.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51I don't know when that will be.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Hello?
0:27:58 > 0:28:00- Hello?- Hello?
0:28:00 > 0:28:01HE STRUMS GUITAR
0:28:01 > 0:28:03# Hello, Hollie... #
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Oh, my God!
0:28:08 > 0:28:13# James would like to invite you to your wedding. #
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Oh, my God.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- DOG BARKS - Hanson, it's OK.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Come on.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20It's OK. It's OK, it's OK.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25He sings at the supermarket in the car park.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27THEY LAUGH
0:28:27 > 0:28:30# On Sunday, 4th May... #
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Yes, it's on a Sunday! Thank God.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Oh, dear.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36Yes, I'm coming.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38LAUGHTER
0:28:38 > 0:28:40- Happy!- Excellent!
0:28:45 > 0:28:49It's time for the stag, and what's James got planned?
0:28:50 > 0:28:51Clubbing?
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Strippers?
0:28:53 > 0:28:54Waking up naked in Belgium?
0:28:56 > 0:28:57Darjeeling?
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Come on, this is James.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Ooh...
0:29:05 > 0:29:07You made me peppermint tea with milk.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11It's like drinking a cup of toothpaste.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Mm.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16He may not want a traditional stag, or a traditional wedding,
0:29:16 > 0:29:20but it seems James does want a traditional wife.
0:29:20 > 0:29:21He's surprising the girls
0:29:21 > 0:29:24with a lesson at a 1950s' style school for housewives.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Are we in the wrong era?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28How to be the perfect housewife.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31He's trying to teach you how to be a real wife!
0:29:31 > 0:29:32BLEEP
0:29:32 > 0:29:35You're going to have to train that potty mouth of yours
0:29:35 > 0:29:37if you're going to please James.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39To being a lady.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41To being a lady.
0:29:41 > 0:29:42ALL: Woo!
0:29:42 > 0:29:43It's good champagne.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47And what does a sensible groom with a love of London do on his stag?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49He climbs over the O2 Arena, obviously.
0:29:51 > 0:29:52All right. Here goes.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57What is it with him and rooftops?
0:29:57 > 0:30:00I think, actually, the wind adds to the atmosphere
0:30:00 > 0:30:03and improves the overall experience of people!
0:30:03 > 0:30:06The wind is picking up. The rain is coming down.
0:30:06 > 0:30:11And James is quickly realising that not every cloud has a silver lining.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- It's cold.- Yeah.- It's wet. We're on a roof.- Yes.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Is this ringing any alarm bells?
0:30:15 > 0:30:18I mean, it would be BLEEP if it was like this, wouldn't it?
0:30:18 > 0:30:20I mean, let's not mess about here. It would be BLEEP.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21I mean, it's unpleasant.
0:30:21 > 0:30:22I'm wearing a boiler suit
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- and I'm just a little bit chilly. - The wedding's next week?- Next week.
0:30:25 > 0:30:26But the view's amazing.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29It is also very cold and windy.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32If I was 20 minutes into a wedding on a rooftop in a party frock,
0:30:32 > 0:30:33then I'd be pissed.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Across town, the girls are already pi...erm, merry.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42And here's an alarmingly posh lady.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Good afternoon, ladies.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- Good afternoon.- Hello.
0:30:46 > 0:30:52I am Diana, and I am your finishing school teacher for the day.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54I am here to give you advice
0:30:54 > 0:30:58on how to make your marriage a total success.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Right, Hollie, may I see you cut the cake, please?
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Er, no!
0:31:03 > 0:31:05I say, Hollie's even more battered than that cake.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Goodness me, I think she needs a course on her own.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10And gently...
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Not like that, for heaven's sake.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Napkin, please, not fingers, thank you.
0:31:16 > 0:31:17Elbows off the table!
0:31:17 > 0:31:19LAUGHTER
0:31:19 > 0:31:20Very nice indeed.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Aaaaah!
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Rather much of a slam.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28I'm the man, I'll do what I bloody like!
0:31:28 > 0:31:30I am not much of a lady.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33I'm probably not going to change in the next week.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36So he still won't be marrying the lady he desires.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43But for bridesmaid Nicky and close friend Nora,
0:31:43 > 0:31:46it's not Hollie being a lady that concerns them.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48It's how quiet she's become recently.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51- She's not very good at being vulnerable, is she?- No.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54And she will never come to you and say,
0:31:54 > 0:31:55"I've got a problem."
0:31:55 > 0:31:58I can tell when she's thinking, the way when something's on her mind.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- Yeah.- Cos she goes really quiet, and I'm like, "Are you OK?"
0:32:01 > 0:32:03And she's like, "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine."
0:32:03 > 0:32:06But if something is not right, you're going to know about it.
0:32:06 > 0:32:07- Like...- Yeah.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12Finally, James' night begins to resemble a stag do.
0:32:12 > 0:32:13Cheers.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15You took me on, Tom.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16Maybe a bit low key...
0:32:16 > 0:32:18but you can't have everything.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20And as the drinks flow...
0:32:20 > 0:32:21Very nice.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24..James' thoughts turn to his bride to be.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26She makes every second of my life better.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29And I think that's kind of amazing to be with someone
0:32:29 > 0:32:32who makes your life a better life.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Hollie will tell me if she's not happy.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37She might wait until a quiet moment,
0:32:37 > 0:32:38and then she'll look at me in the eyes
0:32:38 > 0:32:41and go, "This is totally not what I wanted."
0:32:41 > 0:32:44And that's something I'm dreading, because if that happens...
0:32:44 > 0:32:47it'll make this whole thing just pointless.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Wanting anything but a traditional wedding,
0:32:51 > 0:32:53James has planned a rooftop party
0:32:53 > 0:32:56followed by a legal signing the next day.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58He's meeting up with his master of ceremonies,
0:32:58 > 0:33:00to discuss what her role will be.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03And, more importantly, what it won't be.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06One thing I really don't like about weddings are speeches.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09- Most speeches aren't great. - Are you having a best man?
0:33:09 > 0:33:11- I have three best men.- Do you want them to say anything?- No.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- OK.- Wedding vows make me nauseous.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15As far as I can understand, it's as simple as,
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- "Do you take her, do you take him..."- Yeah.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20- "Stop crying, you look OK."- Yeah.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23"You're now husband and wife, although that's not technically true
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- "cos I can't actually legally do it - but, hey, you are."- Right.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29It is not a licensed venue, you are not officially marrying us.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- Yeah.- It is essentially a piece of theatre for the crowd.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35I totally get that you don't want to do a lot of things
0:33:35 > 0:33:36that you get at normal weddings,
0:33:36 > 0:33:38but you've got to remember that it's not a party.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- Yeah.- It is a wedding, right?
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- Yes.- And, I mean, will Hollie want a wedding?
0:33:43 > 0:33:44Hollie will want a wedding.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47In trying to not be like normal weddings,
0:33:47 > 0:33:50I don't want then to reach a point where it is no longer a wedding.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53And that will be a disaster, so, yeah, that's good to know.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Could the groom who didn't want a wedding,
0:33:55 > 0:33:58finally be planning...a wedding?
0:33:58 > 0:34:01The pressure gets greater the more I start to think about
0:34:01 > 0:34:04how important this day is for so many people.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06I don't want to be the enemy.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08I've got a horrible feeling I might come out of this
0:34:08 > 0:34:10as this kind of...this idiot.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Which would be bad.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Having had a change of heart, James calls Hollie's dad
0:34:18 > 0:34:20to ask him to play a role in the wedding.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22I would love it, if during the ceremony,
0:34:22 > 0:34:25be able just to share a few words.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27- Yeah, that's all right.- Perfect.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Better than having to stand up and do a long speech.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Well, exactly. I'm glad you said that.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Also, it'd be great if you could walk Hollie down the aisle as well.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37- Yeah, I'll do that with pleasure, no problem.- Perfect.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- Thanks, Rob.- OK, thanks, James. - Much appreciated.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43At last a compromise - there will be speeches.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46And just to make sure people know this isn't a standard wedding,
0:34:46 > 0:34:49he sorts out some unconventional decorations...
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Rather than confetti, I think party poppers is kind of funny.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55..an unconventional wedding breakfast...
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Is this Mother Flipper's Burgers?
0:34:58 > 0:35:02..and some unconventional music for the bride to walk down the aisle to.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06# We found love in a hopeless place
0:35:06 > 0:35:10# We found love in a hopeless place. #
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Well, hopeless place, factory roof, call it what you like.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19It's the day before the wedding,
0:35:19 > 0:35:23and Hollie's about to receive the dress James bought online.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Her friends and family have gathered at Nicky's boat.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29She doesn't have a clue what he's got planned,
0:35:29 > 0:35:31and it's really getting to her.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33He might have gone very casual, when in actual fact
0:35:33 > 0:35:38all she wants, maybe, now is an actual wedding dress to look nice.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40If James gets it wrong, he's got to live with it.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Well, he's got to live with her.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Yeah - for the rest of his life.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47James has asked his brother Doug to deliver the dress.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48Are you nervous?
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Yeah, I'm nervous! I don't know what I'm going to be wearing.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Hello.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56- Hello!- You all right, Hollie?
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- This is your outfit. - Oh! Oh, God, it looks tiny.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01It's quite small.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03It's designer, that's a good thing, right?
0:36:03 > 0:36:06No, that's a bad thing. I don't want designer.
0:36:06 > 0:36:07I'm going to go open it.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- You'll have a moment.- On your own.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12We'll wait in anticipation.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Guess all the best things come in small packages.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21I knew it was going to be lingerie!
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Wear some granny pants?
0:36:23 > 0:36:25They're massive.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Bridget Jones!
0:36:27 > 0:36:28- Plenty of time.- Sh.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33While Holly wanted a long backless vintage gown,
0:36:33 > 0:36:37James has gone for a short, cotton summer dress.
0:36:37 > 0:36:38But will she like it?
0:36:38 > 0:36:40This is hideous.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46That is a tablecloth.
0:36:46 > 0:36:47SHE LAUGHS
0:36:47 > 0:36:49- She's laughing. - No, she's not, she's crying.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Even I have no idea what he was thinking here.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Oh, no. Oh, God.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Holy crap.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01I don't mind it not being a wedding dress,
0:37:01 > 0:37:04it's just that it's like a really underwhelming dress.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08God, now I'm worried about the wedding.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11If he thinks this is a nice dress, what is it...
0:37:11 > 0:37:13What's he going to think is a nice wedding?
0:37:17 > 0:37:18SHE LAUGHS
0:37:21 > 0:37:25Oh, my God! I don't think it fits properly.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27I'm not sure that's how it's supposed to look!
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Oh, God, I'm not sure.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32What are they going to say in there?
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Are you going to be honest and say, "I don't like it,"
0:37:36 > 0:37:39- or, "I do like it."- I don't think I'd be any good at hiding the truth!
0:37:39 > 0:37:41I was going to say, that's probably the worst thing we can do is lie,
0:37:41 > 0:37:43because we'll look obvious, won't we?
0:37:43 > 0:37:45If it's really bad, we can talk it up.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48So we've got to find the silver lining.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Aaaaaw!
0:37:53 > 0:37:55You look like a little girl.
0:37:55 > 0:37:56Exactly.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57It is sweet.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Yes, it's sweet, but I'm not going to a christening.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02I can't even encourage you to like it, cos I think it's awful.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06- Slight issue - doesn't fit. - It fits at the front, though.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- What is the back...- You could wear... - Have you seen my ass?
0:38:08 > 0:38:10I told everyone the back of me was the best side,
0:38:10 > 0:38:12not the front.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14If this is what is the best side, it's not very good.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17I thought he was going to go really beautiful and really vintage.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20I think it's just random.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Can I have a look, Holly, at it?
0:38:22 > 0:38:24If all this was cut away, it's got to be cut all out of here
0:38:24 > 0:38:26cos that's where it's...
0:38:26 > 0:38:27Yeah, the lining.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Luckily, James has set aside some money for dress alterations.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33And what about the top? Do you want the top leaving?
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- Can't we take this all out? - Yeah, that's what I think.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38But the girls each have their own ideas about what needs to be done.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40What do you reckon, Sof?
0:38:40 > 0:38:43I think you're trying to make too many alterations before tomorrow.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45- Yeah, but I have to wear this tomorrow, Sof.- Yeah.
0:38:45 > 0:38:46Yeah, it's either alterations
0:38:46 > 0:38:49or she's going to look like a sack of spuds on her wedding day.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51- But it fits you here... - But if I can get it altered,
0:38:51 > 0:38:52why am I going to wear it like this?
0:38:52 > 0:38:54If he's put money aside to get it altered...
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- I'm just saying, is there time? - Why are you being a bitch?
0:38:57 > 0:38:59- I'm not! I'm just saying... - It sounds a bit harsh, Sof!
0:38:59 > 0:39:01You like it, do you? You like this?
0:39:01 > 0:39:04- I don't think that looks that bad. - OK.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06I don't think it looks that bad.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09But James has chosen this for you to wear, hasn't he?
0:39:09 > 0:39:11He obviously liked it.
0:39:11 > 0:39:12It's her wedding day, she's the bride.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Yeah, but he hasn't seen me in it.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Well, the seamstress is going to have to stay up all night, I think -
0:39:17 > 0:39:18that's the point.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22James' seamstress arrives. Can she prevent a dress disaster?
0:39:22 > 0:39:26It is a signature Westwood. I recognised it!
0:39:26 > 0:39:29It's a signature Westwood, guys.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31I'm going to be in so much trouble at work
0:39:31 > 0:39:33when I don't know my statement Vivienne necks.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37And will she even have the dress ready for the wedding tomorrow?
0:39:41 > 0:39:46I think this process has made me realise how much I...
0:39:46 > 0:39:49kind of want it to be the perfect wedding,
0:39:49 > 0:39:51but I can see from the dress,
0:39:51 > 0:39:54like, people's reactions make me think,
0:39:54 > 0:39:56"Oh, God, they're not even happy."
0:39:56 > 0:39:58They're thinking negative things,
0:39:58 > 0:39:59and I don't want people to think that.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05I just want it to be a good day where everyone's happy.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07If you've got bad memories,
0:40:07 > 0:40:09it's not a very good way to start, is it?
0:40:15 > 0:40:19It's the morning of the wedding and Hollie's hardly slept.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22I hope that there's a bit of a party happening today.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Bit of a marriage.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28- Do you feel like a bride? - Do I look like a bride?
0:40:28 > 0:40:30- HOLLIE LAUGHS - Yeah, you look stressed,
0:40:30 > 0:40:32you look like you haven't eaten for a couple of days.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- How do brides feel? Do they feel like they're going to vomit?- Yep.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Oh, right, I feel like one, then.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39I'm going to start with some fruit.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42How are you feeling about the dress?
0:40:42 > 0:40:44What's the word I'm looking for?
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Feeling...resigned.
0:40:46 > 0:40:47- LAUGHING:- Resigned.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51- Well, resigned to the fact that I have to wear it.- Yeah.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55And hopefully, once it fits, it'll feel better, so we'll see.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58While Hollie waits for the altered dress,
0:40:58 > 0:41:01James is making final preparations at the venue.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Let's get them here.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Look what I've got!
0:41:06 > 0:41:09With the wedding dress back from the seamstress,
0:41:09 > 0:41:11it's too late for an alternative.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14That looks, it does look, I don't know, it looks more full.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Yeah, that looks better. It's kind of cute.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Fingers crossed it'll look good on.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- That's better. - Better. So much better.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24- Yeah.- Yeah.- I like it.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26It looks like a completely different dress, Holl.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- Aw, you happier?- Yeah.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30Oh, thank God.
0:41:30 > 0:41:31THEY LAUGH
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Thank you, seamstress lady.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37At last, Hollie's happy with the alterations to her dress.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41And at the venue, James is even happier with his pineapples.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Check this out, this will blow your mind.
0:41:43 > 0:41:44Well, why wouldn't he be?
0:41:44 > 0:41:47- Tell me that's not the best you've ever seen.- It's pretty cool.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49- Hi, are you Hollie? - Hello.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52- Hi. We're here to do your hair and make-up.- Oh, my God.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54- Just Hollie?- Just Hollie.
0:41:54 > 0:41:55He did say just Hollie.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Thanks, James.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59- THEY LAUGH - Sort myself out.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Unaware he's already upset the bridesmaids,
0:42:03 > 0:42:07James is making last-minute changes to his gritty, urban rooftop.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10The busier I am, the better.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14The florists are decorating industrial ducting with flowers
0:42:14 > 0:42:19and he's even building a stage from pallets he found dumped in the yard.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Bridesmaid Sof has arrived at the boat to get ready with Nicky.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27But there's a last-minute panic about James' colour scheme.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Now, I'm worried
0:42:29 > 0:42:33because we're in black, essentially evening wear.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35And Holly's in a pure white summer dress.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Yeah. So are we going to look overdressed?
0:42:38 > 0:42:42Well, I think we're going to look stupid, yeah.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44It'll look lovely with your necklace, though.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46SHE LAUGHS
0:42:46 > 0:42:47Yeah...
0:42:50 > 0:42:54What will Hollie make of James' choice of black dresses?
0:42:57 > 0:42:58Oh.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01- Black's an interesting colour. - Yeah.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Compared to your pure white summer dress.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05I like what you're both wearing.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Thanks, I went out and bought it.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10- With your own money? - Course I did.- Ah.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12I didn't have anything else that was black
0:43:12 > 0:43:15that I hadn't either worn to a job interview or a funeral, so...
0:43:15 > 0:43:19And then, suddenly, she notices the necklaces.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21SHE LAUGHS
0:43:21 > 0:43:25That is the best necklace I've ever seen.
0:43:25 > 0:43:28- He knows what I call you. - I know. It's really sweet
0:43:28 > 0:43:31- that he knows what... - That is so cool!
0:43:31 > 0:43:33THEY LAUGH
0:43:33 > 0:43:35In Peckham, the rooftop's set.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37But something's occurred to James...
0:43:37 > 0:43:40maybe a teeny bit too late.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42I've suddenly realised that I'm making Hollie get married
0:43:42 > 0:43:47on a rooftop of a factory on, like, the most special day of her...
0:43:47 > 0:43:50It might be the worst idea in the world.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52And she might hate me for ever.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55Ah, come on - having your wedding on a rooftop
0:43:55 > 0:43:57isn't the worst idea in the world.
0:43:57 > 0:43:59But buying your bride trainers might be.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01Looks like a school bag.
0:44:01 > 0:44:02Oh, God, I'm going to kill him.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05- They're plimsolls, aren't they? - They're trainers.
0:44:08 > 0:44:11SHE LAUGHS
0:44:11 > 0:44:13Well, they'll be comfortable.
0:44:13 > 0:44:16- Mm. - At least they'll match your dress.
0:44:16 > 0:44:19And if she fancies a quick game of squash during the vows,
0:44:19 > 0:44:20she's sorted.
0:44:20 > 0:44:24- They've been made by hand. You can't buy these.- No.
0:44:24 > 0:44:25It's amazing.
0:44:27 > 0:44:30- Yeah, it looks cute. - It looks really lovely.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34- At least they're comfy. - Yeah.- I can dance.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39We look so opposite!
0:44:39 > 0:44:40- I know.- Yeah. Yeah.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43James has gone to Matt's house to get changed.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46And there's a surprise in store from Hollie.
0:44:46 > 0:44:48Ah, mate!
0:44:48 > 0:44:50It's not from me. From Hollie.
0:44:50 > 0:44:51How do you know that?
0:44:55 > 0:44:58Oh, it's a pocket watch. And Hollie gave it to me six years ago.
0:44:58 > 0:45:01It doesn't work, but it's very beautiful. And I loved it.
0:45:04 > 0:45:05HE LAUGHS
0:45:05 > 0:45:09"It's there to remind you of the time we've had together,
0:45:09 > 0:45:11"but also of the time we'll have in the future.
0:45:11 > 0:45:14"And let's never spend three weeks apart again. Hollie."
0:45:17 > 0:45:19- Oh, mate. - That is very nice.
0:45:21 > 0:45:22Let's do this.
0:45:22 > 0:45:26As James sets off for the venue, Hollie's transport arrives,
0:45:26 > 0:45:28giving a clue to her destination.
0:45:28 > 0:45:30I think we're going to London.
0:45:30 > 0:45:32- SHE LAUGHS - Yay!
0:45:35 > 0:45:37Oh, this is nice.
0:45:37 > 0:45:40# ..Lead you through the streets of London
0:45:40 > 0:45:46# Show you something to make you change your mind
0:45:47 > 0:45:50# Let me take you by the hand... #
0:45:50 > 0:45:54- Hey! How are you? - Congratulations, my man.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57As James makes some last-minute preparations,
0:45:57 > 0:45:59the guests start to arrive.
0:45:59 > 0:46:01I don't really know what I was expecting today,
0:46:01 > 0:46:04but I can safely say this is different to Lincolnshire today.
0:46:04 > 0:46:06It may not be Lincolnshire,
0:46:06 > 0:46:08but what will the Londoners make of it?
0:46:09 > 0:46:11- Bit...shabby. For a wedding.- Shabby chic.
0:46:18 > 0:46:22Well, we're not going to Hackney. Clapham Common?
0:46:22 > 0:46:24I would say we're heading towards Peckham.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28This is definitely a big risk.
0:46:28 > 0:46:31Most brides would want a church, or like, a big stately home.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34You know, let's hope she's into it, for his sake.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40Oh, we're in Peckham.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42SHE LAUGHS
0:46:42 > 0:46:44I would never in a million years
0:46:44 > 0:46:46have thought it would be in this area.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53It's kind of exciting. A little bit concerning as well.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55I've just put my scarf down on the floor
0:46:55 > 0:46:58and I can pretty much guarantee it'll be a bit dirty when I pick it back up.
0:47:01 > 0:47:02In here?
0:47:06 > 0:47:08Where in God's name are we?
0:47:15 > 0:47:16Thank you.
0:47:16 > 0:47:17Hollie dreamed of getting married
0:47:17 > 0:47:20in the family church in Lincolnshire.
0:47:21 > 0:47:24James may have transformed a dusty rooftop in Peckham
0:47:24 > 0:47:26to the perfect summer party venue...
0:47:27 > 0:47:30..but will it match up to Hollie's traditional standards?
0:47:30 > 0:47:34I can't help but feel we're a little overdressed for the location.
0:47:37 > 0:47:38Now I can smell fish.
0:47:38 > 0:47:42Not sure if it's rubbish or if it's what James has set up for us.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46It's not exactly what I was picturing.
0:47:48 > 0:47:51Six floors up, the guests are waiting for Hollie to arrive.
0:47:53 > 0:47:55The bridesmaids and Mum lead the procession.
0:47:55 > 0:47:57It's very trendy.
0:47:57 > 0:47:59In here? Oh...
0:48:00 > 0:48:01Oh, a wedding.
0:48:03 > 0:48:06I never thought you could get married in a place like this.
0:48:06 > 0:48:10And Hollie and dad Rob follow them down the aisle.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12Or should that be alleyway?
0:48:12 > 0:48:13- Hello again.- How are you doing?
0:48:13 > 0:48:17Hollie's sister Gem is waiting with best man Tom
0:48:17 > 0:48:19to present the bridesmaids with their pineapples.
0:48:19 > 0:48:22It looks like a fruit basket on my head.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24Have we done anything that bad to offend him?
0:48:24 > 0:48:26- I didn't know you had... - He's called me Stinks
0:48:26 > 0:48:28and put a fruit basket on my head.
0:48:29 > 0:48:31What did I ever do wrong?
0:48:32 > 0:48:35And it's not just the bridesmaids who are stunned.
0:48:35 > 0:48:37You never cease to amaze me.
0:48:37 > 0:48:39What, me or James?
0:48:39 > 0:48:40Both of you, really.
0:48:41 > 0:48:43- Oh, there's flowers. - You look lovely.
0:48:43 > 0:48:45- At last. - Thank you.
0:48:50 > 0:48:51You...!
0:48:53 > 0:48:54What is this?
0:48:54 > 0:48:55Sorry.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58That's a bad start, isn't it?
0:48:58 > 0:49:00Unusual decoration.
0:49:03 > 0:49:05- It's a piece of more air ducting. - Slightly odd.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09# If you like it then you should have put a ring on it
0:49:09 > 0:49:11# Don't be mad when you see that he wanted
0:49:11 > 0:49:13# If you like it then you should have put a ring on it
0:49:13 > 0:49:16- # All the single ladies - All the single ladies... #
0:49:16 > 0:49:18- CHEERING # All the single ladies - All the single ladies
0:49:18 > 0:49:21- # All the single ladies - All the single ladies
0:49:21 > 0:49:23# If you like it then you should have put a ring on it
0:49:23 > 0:49:25- # All the single ladies - All the single ladies
0:49:25 > 0:49:28- # All the single ladies - All the single ladies
0:49:28 > 0:49:30- # All the single ladies - All the single ladies
0:49:30 > 0:49:33# All the single ladies Now put your hands up. #
0:49:33 > 0:49:35- How are you?- I feel a little sick, I'm not going to lie.
0:49:35 > 0:49:37LAUGHTER
0:49:37 > 0:49:39- A little bit sick. - Just a tad.- That's OK.
0:49:39 > 0:49:42- How are you? - Fine!
0:49:42 > 0:49:44GUESTS: Aw...!
0:49:44 > 0:49:47- So, if the freight train goes past, we've got to stop.- That's fine.
0:49:47 > 0:49:50But everyone's here today, so let's have a wedding.
0:49:50 > 0:49:53WHOOPING AND CHEERING
0:49:53 > 0:49:55Unconventional as ever,
0:49:55 > 0:49:59James has chosen to have the speeches before the vows.
0:49:59 > 0:50:00CHEERING
0:50:04 > 0:50:07Really, what I want to say, James, is love and best wishes to you both
0:50:07 > 0:50:12for a very long, long and happy future.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14Thank you.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Do I get a kiss?
0:50:17 > 0:50:20Our once wedding-phobic groom
0:50:20 > 0:50:22has decided to make a speech of his own.
0:50:22 > 0:50:24I didn't...hadn't prepared a speech
0:50:24 > 0:50:27because I assumed I'd be in tears at this point, and in fact, I'm not.
0:50:27 > 0:50:30I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not.
0:50:30 > 0:50:33Before we were going out, we went ice skating together
0:50:33 > 0:50:35and I was rubbish at ice skating, obviously.
0:50:35 > 0:50:37And I remember I'd fallen over, again,
0:50:37 > 0:50:41and I found myself sitting in a large, kind of, icy puddle.
0:50:41 > 0:50:46I remember you skated up to me, and without really saying anything,
0:50:46 > 0:50:48you just sort of sat down next to me in the puddle.
0:50:49 > 0:50:51And I was baffled by this and looked at you,
0:50:51 > 0:50:53and went, "OK, what are you doing?"
0:50:53 > 0:50:55And you went, "Well, I didn't think that it was fair
0:50:55 > 0:50:58"that you were the only one with a cold, wet bum."
0:50:58 > 0:50:59LAUGHTER
0:50:59 > 0:51:04And I remember at the time thinking, "That's probably the sweetest thing anyone's ever done ever."
0:51:05 > 0:51:07And six years later, it reminds me
0:51:07 > 0:51:11of just what an incredible, selfless human being you are.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13- GUESTS: Aw... - Aw!
0:51:14 > 0:51:19James, will you take Holly to be your wife?
0:51:19 > 0:51:21I do.
0:51:21 > 0:51:25And Holly, will you take James to be your lawful wedded husband?
0:51:25 > 0:51:27To be loving, faithful and loyal to him,
0:51:27 > 0:51:29for the rest of your married life together?
0:51:29 > 0:51:31I do.
0:51:31 > 0:51:32Can we have the rings?
0:51:35 > 0:51:37Does that replace this one? Do I have to put them both on?
0:51:37 > 0:51:39Put that on the other hand.
0:51:39 > 0:51:40Can we just put it in your pocket?
0:51:40 > 0:51:43I love it to pieces, but it's ridiculous.
0:51:43 > 0:51:44- Sorry. - OK.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48James and Hollie,
0:51:48 > 0:51:50witnessed by your friends and family,
0:51:50 > 0:51:53I am honoured to pronounce you man and wife.
0:51:53 > 0:51:55You may snog!
0:51:55 > 0:51:57WHOOPING AND CHEERING
0:51:57 > 0:52:02Ladies and gentlemen, Nana, I present to you, Hollie and James.
0:52:02 > 0:52:05CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:52:07 > 0:52:08Hollie dreamed of a wedding
0:52:08 > 0:52:12celebrating her family home in Lincolnshire.
0:52:12 > 0:52:13But James has given her a day
0:52:13 > 0:52:16centred round their life together in London.
0:52:16 > 0:52:17Do you like this?
0:52:17 > 0:52:20It's very cute, yeah, I love it.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22You sound so underwhelmed. Do you actually like it, be honest?
0:52:22 > 0:52:25- Yeah, I love it. I love it. - I don't feel like you do.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27I did hate the dress, I'm so sorry.
0:52:27 > 0:52:29- I said it looked like a bed sheet. - Oh, no.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31And that I was very underwhelmed.
0:52:33 > 0:52:35I said very rude things about the dress.
0:52:35 > 0:52:36I messed up, didn't I?
0:52:36 > 0:52:38And the dress, the most important part, I messed up.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40GUESTS: Hollie and James!
0:52:42 > 0:52:44- Sorry. - You did it.
0:52:44 > 0:52:45- I am so sorry. - Do you feel happy?
0:52:45 > 0:52:48- No...- Like you've achieved something? - I feel like I've ruined your big day.
0:52:50 > 0:52:52I just didn't like the dress, that was all.
0:52:52 > 0:52:54- That's the only thing. - Sorry.
0:52:54 > 0:52:56- All your effort. I love it. - Oh...
0:52:59 > 0:53:03# Yellow diamonds in the night
0:53:03 > 0:53:05# As we're standing side by side... #
0:53:05 > 0:53:10I didn't like the dress, but, yeah, it suits the venue.
0:53:10 > 0:53:12The dress and her shoes, yeah. It looks all right.
0:53:14 > 0:53:17Look at the view! Oh, my God, you can see the London Eye.
0:53:17 > 0:53:19And the Shard.
0:53:19 > 0:53:22- And a car park.- Yay! - You can see a car park.
0:53:22 > 0:53:23And a warehouse.
0:53:23 > 0:53:25Well, it's definitely not what I said I wanted,
0:53:25 > 0:53:27- but I think it's better. - Yeah?
0:53:27 > 0:53:34# We found love in a hopeless place. #
0:53:36 > 0:53:39What he's pulled off, it's really come from the heart,
0:53:39 > 0:53:40he's done really well.
0:53:40 > 0:53:43- Cheers, guys. - Job well done.
0:53:43 > 0:53:45Did it feel like a wedding?
0:53:45 > 0:53:48I think, actually, cos I'm not very serious,
0:53:48 > 0:53:50- it was quite a good tone.- Mm.
0:53:50 > 0:53:51I liked that it was different
0:53:51 > 0:53:54and I liked that he wrote the nice stuff.
0:53:54 > 0:53:56- It was special. - It's really special.
0:53:56 > 0:53:58- I cried all the way through. - Did you?- Yeah, I couldn't stop.
0:54:00 > 0:54:01Oh, thank you - that looks hot.
0:54:01 > 0:54:03Congratulations.
0:54:03 > 0:54:05Shove it in there.
0:54:07 > 0:54:09I was all right until I got handed this pineapple on my head,
0:54:09 > 0:54:12which is now actually digging into my head.
0:54:12 > 0:54:15I did actually want to pull one out and throw one at him.
0:54:15 > 0:54:18Is there a specific theme?
0:54:18 > 0:54:21Like, is it, like...Caribbean?
0:54:21 > 0:54:23SHE LAUGHS
0:54:23 > 0:54:26The idea was to be a wedding about our life in London,
0:54:26 > 0:54:28a celebration of our life in London.
0:54:28 > 0:54:30It definitely feels like a wedding.
0:54:30 > 0:54:32I think it feels like a wedding that not everyone would have,
0:54:32 > 0:54:35but a wedding that Hollie and James would have,
0:54:35 > 0:54:36and I think that's what he set out to do.
0:54:36 > 0:54:39The guests are having a great time,
0:54:39 > 0:54:42but James is still not convinced Hollie's happy.
0:54:42 > 0:54:44- Do you know what I was saying the whole time?- What?
0:54:44 > 0:54:46How guilty I felt that I made you do this.
0:54:46 > 0:54:49- I felt guilty, the whole time... - How did you feel guilty? I made you do this!
0:54:49 > 0:54:52No, but I feel guilty cos I realise, this whole process,
0:54:52 > 0:54:56that I've actually taken away your chance to make your perfect day.
0:54:56 > 0:54:57- And that's... - This is my perfect day.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59- It's not, though. - It's amazing.- It's not.
0:54:59 > 0:55:02- It's in a dress you don't love... - I like the dress now.
0:55:02 > 0:55:04I feel like me. I like the shoes.
0:55:04 > 0:55:07Everyone's having an amazing time, everybody's here.
0:55:07 > 0:55:09That's all I wanted, to share it with everyone.
0:55:09 > 0:55:10Everyone was here.
0:55:12 > 0:55:14And as the sun sets
0:55:14 > 0:55:18and the real party starts downstairs,
0:55:18 > 0:55:20this bride's on top of the world.
0:55:20 > 0:55:24I have no idea where James got his ideas from.
0:55:24 > 0:55:25I think they're amazing.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28I don't think I actually could have done it as well as this.
0:55:28 > 0:55:30And I think it was actually perfect for me.
0:55:32 > 0:55:34I hope after this, there are times,
0:55:34 > 0:55:37when I feel strongly or stubborn about something,
0:55:37 > 0:55:41I will be more able to look at things through Hollie's perspective
0:55:41 > 0:55:43and actually to do something solely for her.
0:55:46 > 0:55:50- If this was a test, you've passed. With flying colours.- Really?
0:55:50 > 0:55:51Yeah.
0:55:51 > 0:55:54I'll give you your prize when you get home.
0:55:54 > 0:55:56SHE LAUGHS
0:55:57 > 0:55:59CHEERING
0:55:59 > 0:56:03Next time, wedding-obsessed bossy bride-to-be Alex...
0:56:03 > 0:56:05Everybody knows me as crazy wedding girl.
0:56:05 > 0:56:07..wants a romantic, Downton Abbey-style wedding.
0:56:07 > 0:56:09I've always wanted something that wows everybody.
0:56:09 > 0:56:11But her childhood sweetheart Mark...
0:56:11 > 0:56:12She'll be in tears, I know she will.
0:56:12 > 0:56:16..is planning to take her Downton farm.
0:56:16 > 0:56:17Keep it traditional.
0:56:17 > 0:56:18So will pig racing...
0:56:18 > 0:56:19Oh!
0:56:19 > 0:56:21..excite this hard-to-please bride?
0:56:21 > 0:56:22It stinks.
0:56:22 > 0:56:24Or will this West-Country lad...
0:56:24 > 0:56:25I feel physically sick.
0:56:25 > 0:56:27..be too local?
0:56:27 > 0:56:29I was wondering the availability of The Wurzels.
