0:00:02 > 0:00:05- Has anybody got any confetti? - Yes.- Every girl...- Oh, wow.

0:00:05 > 0:00:09- I do.- ..likes to take control of her wedding.

0:00:09 > 0:00:13So, what happens when she has no say on her big day?

0:00:13 > 0:00:18- Oh, they are awful.- We're not doing it.- Don't Tell The Bride is back.

0:00:18 > 0:00:21- This is ridiculous. - As ever, the grooms are in charge.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23I want there to be a donkey at the wedding.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25I'm going to look lovely on our big day.

0:00:25 > 0:00:29But with £12,000 to spend and just three weeks

0:00:29 > 0:00:31to throw the wedding of their dreams...

0:00:31 > 0:00:33Tell my mum I love her!

0:00:33 > 0:00:37- ..have the boys pushed themselves too far?- Oh, my God!

0:00:37 > 0:00:38You're fired!

0:00:38 > 0:00:40With more shocking,

0:00:40 > 0:00:42more outrageous...

0:00:42 > 0:00:45- Argh...- ..and more daredevil weddings than ever before,

0:00:45 > 0:00:47will there be a happy-ever-after?

0:00:47 > 0:00:50This is not the thing you get wrong the day before your wedding.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54- Will true love save the day? - Mum, what is that? Mum, what is that?

0:00:54 > 0:00:59- Or is it a countdown to disaster? - Three, two, one...

0:01:01 > 0:01:05Tonight, wedding obsessed, bossy bride-to-be Alex...

0:01:05 > 0:01:09Anybody that knows me knows me as crazy wedding girl.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11..wants a romantic, Downton Abbey-style wedding.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14I've always wanted something that's going to be grand and beautiful

0:01:14 > 0:01:16and big and, kind of, wow everybody.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18But her childhood sweetheart, Mark...

0:01:18 > 0:01:20She'll be in tears. I know she will.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23..is planning to take her down t'on farm.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26Keep it traditional. That's what I wanted.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28- So, will pig racing...- Whoo.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31- ..excite this hard-to-please bride?- Stinks.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33I thought he would actually get it right.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37- Or will this West Country lad... - I feel physically sick.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40- ..be too local?- I was wondering the availability of The Wurzels.

0:01:40 > 0:01:47This programme contains some strong language.

0:01:50 > 0:01:55Childhood sweethearts Mark and Alex met a long time ago.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57He was my first boyfriend. I was 13.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00The other girls in my year at school couldn't believe

0:02:00 > 0:02:02I had a boyfriend who was two years older.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04It was the talk of the town, wasn't it, really?

0:02:04 > 0:02:07And young love blossomed for this West Country couple.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10My 14th birthday party was the first time you'd come over

0:02:10 > 0:02:11and, kind of, met my family.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14He rode over on his bike and you had your little backpack on

0:02:14 > 0:02:16and inside, he had some Ferrero Rochers, but what happened,

0:02:16 > 0:02:19when he'd cycled over, they'd all split, hadn't they,

0:02:19 > 0:02:22and were all sat at the bottom of the bag?

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Nowadays, I think it's rare to meet The One so young

0:02:24 > 0:02:29and have that, kind of, first romance and for it not to end.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31It's just something that, kind of, happened.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33It didn't really fizzle out.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37Their relationship was really put to the test when Alex accepted

0:02:37 > 0:02:40a place at Winchester University.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43I'm the one that wanted to go off to university and get a degree and get,

0:02:43 > 0:02:47kind of, a further education and he was the one that wanted to stay here.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50But despite staying put, home-loving Mark was determined

0:02:50 > 0:02:52not to lose Alex completely.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54I think it did test us.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56We definitely owe a lot of our relationship to Mark.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59He was the one that had to do a lot of travelling up to Winchester.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01I did come back a lot, but it was still

0:03:01 > 0:03:04a big thing for him to have to finish work on a Friday

0:03:04 > 0:03:07and have to travel over to Winchester to meet me, for the four years.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10When you're away for quite a while and then you see each other

0:03:10 > 0:03:15after that period of time, it gets you more connected, really.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17So, yeah, in a way, it made us stronger.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20So, put your hand up

0:03:20 > 0:03:23if you think on this zebra the stripes are black stripes.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27Uni over, Alex returned and got a job as a teacher near their

0:03:27 > 0:03:28home town of Westbury.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31It's about 50/50.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34And whilst living with Mark's dad, the couple are renovating

0:03:34 > 0:03:36their first house together.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39- I've painted a bit of this room. - It's a lot darker than I thought.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42It's something we're doing together and we're building together

0:03:42 > 0:03:44and, hopefully, we'll have for ever.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Yes.- They may be doing this together, but there's only one boss.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50Still got this wall to do. Door frames to put in.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53I like to know what we're doing and when we're doing it.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56I like to know details, down to a T, even, kind of, where the light switch

0:03:56 > 0:04:00is going to go or where that particular plug socket's going to go.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04And it's not just DIY decisions Alex likes control of. It's Mark, too.

0:04:04 > 0:04:09I, kind of, make sure everything's in order, everything's done as it's

0:04:09 > 0:04:13meant to be and he needs to just kind of turn up and play his part, really.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17- I get told where to go.- Mm-hm, and what time to be there.- Yep.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20If she likes doing it, then I let her do it.

0:04:20 > 0:04:24So, in an all-time first, Alex is hanging up her bossy boots

0:04:24 > 0:04:27and giving Mark complete control of their wedding.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30He's planned some stuff before, though, right?

0:04:30 > 0:04:34We've not really had the opportunity to let Mark plan anything.

0:04:34 > 0:04:35Oh, dear.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Really haven't planned anything, ever.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43With me having to plan the whole wedding, it's going to be a strain.

0:04:43 > 0:04:44It'll be hard, I expect.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47I've never done anything... I don't even know the first steps

0:04:47 > 0:04:50of planning a wedding. It's going to be a challenge.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Oh, it will, cos when it comes to weddings,

0:04:52 > 0:04:56- there's nothing Alex doesn't know. - Anybody that knows me

0:04:56 > 0:04:59would probably know me as crazy wedding girl

0:04:59 > 0:05:02and know how much I love weddings and how incredible I think

0:05:02 > 0:05:05they are and how incredible I want my own to be.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08I helped my mum plan her wedding, my sister-in-law plan hers

0:05:08 > 0:05:10and my sister is in the process of planning hers.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Yep, she's the go-to-girl for wedding planning,

0:05:13 > 0:05:16so why is she handing over control of her big day

0:05:16 > 0:05:19to a man who's never made a decision in his life?

0:05:19 > 0:05:20We've been together ten years.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23You know, we've talked about, kind of, the things we like.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26We have similar styles, I think. I hope he knows me

0:05:26 > 0:05:29well enough to know my likes and my dislikes, to know my taste.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Reasons for me doing this is to show that I can do it

0:05:31 > 0:05:37and to show that she hasn't have to do everything herself and then,

0:05:37 > 0:05:40yeah, and then try and make her happy at the end of it.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42I think the biggest privilege I could give him is to

0:05:42 > 0:05:45plan my wedding and I think he's incredibly lucky that I trust him

0:05:45 > 0:05:50enough and love him enough that I've given him the opportunity to do it.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52No pressure, then(!)

0:05:52 > 0:05:55I would not know what sort of wedding Alex would want

0:05:55 > 0:05:57or what ideas she has.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01Will just be me just winging it.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06It's time for Alex to get packing.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11- All sorted?- Yeah.- All right.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14- You excited?- Eh?- You excited?

0:06:14 > 0:06:19- No, nervous.- And I'll see you on the other side.- Yeah.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22- See you when we're married.- Yeah.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26Having no contact for the next three weeks will be hard for both of them.

0:06:29 > 0:06:33We've been together for so long and we rarely spend time apart.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36It'll be horrible, I think, leaving him behind, not being able

0:06:36 > 0:06:38to speak to him, not knowing what he's doing,

0:06:38 > 0:06:40not knowing what he's thinking.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42It won't be very nice.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45A mile across town, Alex is moving back home to her mum's house

0:06:45 > 0:06:47until her wedding day...

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Hello! Welcome home!

0:06:50 > 0:06:53..and big sister, Amy, has come over to welcome her.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55That's it, won't speak to him for three weeks,

0:06:55 > 0:06:57won't see him for three weeks.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01I think I'll probably hit him now that this is the beginning.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06It hasn't sunk in yet, to be fair,

0:07:06 > 0:07:10that I'm about to spend three weeks planning a wedding.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14It's going to be hard, so hopefully, it don't turn into a nightmare.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22It's the first day of wedding planning and Mark's called in

0:07:22 > 0:07:26the cavalry, in the form of best men, Natty and Matty.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Hello?- Hi. Ready for this then, lads? - Yeah, should be.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31I grew up with Matthew, played football together,

0:07:31 > 0:07:33went to school together.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Where's the beers, then? - In the fridge, go help yourself.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38We got to the age where I started going out in pubs, that's where

0:07:38 > 0:07:42I met Nat and we formed a group and it went from there, really.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Bit early for this.

0:07:46 > 0:07:47It's never too early for a beer.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51We've never been round a wedding, we've never really known how to

0:07:51 > 0:07:53plan a wedding, so it could be the blind leading the blind.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55So, what we doing?

0:07:55 > 0:07:57- You got to plan a wedding in three weeks.- Three weeks?

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Plan it in one day, innit?

0:07:59 > 0:08:02Spend the rest of the time drinking, playing FIFA and watching football.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05All three of them together are such a good laugh,

0:08:05 > 0:08:09but having a good laugh doesn't necessarily plan a good wedding.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13You'd be surprised, Alex. The boys are hard at work.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17Mark's full of ideas and he's sticking to what he knows best.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Where you looking, venue-wise, then? - I want a farm in a field,

0:08:21 > 0:08:24marquee with a few cider barrels about.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27Me and the boys like having a cider, so maybe having,

0:08:27 > 0:08:31sort of, like a West Country-ish, like, ooh-are-ee, sort of, shindig.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34Just people having an all-in-all good time.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Cos it's going to be an ooh-are-ee thing,

0:08:36 > 0:08:37get 'em a pair of wellies each.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Would it not be good something to do with

0:08:39 > 0:08:42some of the wellies like on the table or something?

0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Could put a welly on the table. - Centrepieces, with the flowers in.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47- Be ideal, wouldn't it? - Yeah, that's a good shout.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49He's really nervous,

0:08:49 > 0:08:51cos he's not the best at doing all these sort of things.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Alex normally takes control of a lot of stuff.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56So it's going to have to be a little bit of us trying to push him,

0:08:56 > 0:08:59but then we're not the best people at pushing him.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01We can scrimp and save with the likes of bridesmaid dresses,

0:09:01 > 0:09:04hen do's. We could just send the girls glass-blowing

0:09:04 > 0:09:06or something like that. Why not?

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Nat chucked a few of the old crappy ideas in there,

0:09:09 > 0:09:10with the old wild ideas.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12There's nothing to this planning a wedding thing.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14We'll have it done in no time.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Brimming with confidence, the boys are off to view a possible

0:09:18 > 0:09:21local reception venue.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24Oh, my God. What would we look like here?

0:09:24 > 0:09:27It is, literally, a field with cows.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30Will you shut up, man? You're getting on my tits now.

0:09:30 > 0:09:31He's not wrong, Mark.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35It is, literally, a field, but that cow's definitely a fake.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Annette, the land owner, is showing them around.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Have you had a look at, like, style of marquees and..?

0:09:39 > 0:09:42No, I haven't. I saw the one on the picture on your website.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Oh, right, OK.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47And, obviously, I looked... I just thought that came in with

0:09:47 > 0:09:49- the actual...- No.- ..wood itself.

0:09:49 > 0:09:50It is, literally, just a field,

0:09:50 > 0:09:53which means we'd have to do a bit

0:09:53 > 0:09:58more planning and prepping, which wasn't really what I 'ad in mind.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00Yeah, it's just...

0:10:00 > 0:10:02..visualising.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Trying to visualise it, get it in my head.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06It just doesn't seem to be ooh-are-ee enough.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08I was hoping there was a marquee up.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10I was hoping there was tables in it and I was seeing it.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Yeah, but you're not, here, are ya?

0:10:14 > 0:10:15It's just a field, innit?

0:10:15 > 0:10:18- It's your wedding, mate. - Yeah, yeah.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20You got to be able to see it yourself, ain't you.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23I think it's too much, man. Too much for me.

0:10:23 > 0:10:24So, it's back to the drawing board.

0:10:29 > 0:10:30One person who has no problem

0:10:30 > 0:10:34visualising her perfect reception venue is Alex.

0:10:34 > 0:10:35She's planned this for years.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38Along with her mum and sister Amy,

0:10:38 > 0:10:40they're visiting the Longleat Estate.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Everything just looks so...

0:10:42 > 0:10:44so beautiful, doesn't it?

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Does this take you back to when you were younger

0:10:46 > 0:10:48and used to play here all the time.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51'I just think it's Alex's dream, you know, to be here again.'

0:10:51 > 0:10:53She's loved Longleat since she was a little girl.

0:10:53 > 0:10:57Set in 900 acres of landscaped gardens,

0:10:57 > 0:11:00Longleat House was once at the heart of Edwardian high society,

0:11:00 > 0:11:03something Alex very much appreciates.

0:11:03 > 0:11:08I love the glitz, I love the glamour, I love how kind of romantic it feels

0:11:08 > 0:11:11and the kind of Downton Abbey style, kind of, feel to it.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Wow.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17This is exactly the look you wanted, isn't it?

0:11:17 > 0:11:22Yeah. So, I like how grand it is, the artwork.

0:11:22 > 0:11:27I think it'd be amazing, like, all your guests sat here

0:11:27 > 0:11:28and then you in the top table.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31Speeches.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34I would hate something, kind of, novelty.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37I would hate just something that's being really silly.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40For me, a wedding isn't about being silly or funny,

0:11:40 > 0:11:41it's a real serious thing.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45No problem.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48Mark's next potential venue IS serious...

0:11:48 > 0:11:49seriously ridiculous.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55He's taken his best men to see a children's farm...

0:11:56 > 0:11:59..and this isn't just a field -

0:11:59 > 0:12:03it's a field with a bouncy castle in it and so much more.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05It's got big boys' toys, too.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14Mark's in farmyard heaven, but has he forgotten his bride?

0:12:14 > 0:12:17Does she like animals?

0:12:17 > 0:12:19- Not really.- Oh!

0:12:19 > 0:12:21It's just an idea that came into my head

0:12:21 > 0:12:23because I'm from Wiltshire, Somerset

0:12:23 > 0:12:26and...keep it traditional. That's what I wanted.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29With tractor rides, pig racing,

0:12:29 > 0:12:32kids' play areas and animals everywhere,

0:12:32 > 0:12:36Mark likes it so much, he's willing to put a marquee up here.

0:12:36 > 0:12:41We put a marquee in it and then have a tractor ride up to here.

0:12:41 > 0:12:44Meanwhile, in Longleat, bride-to-be Alex

0:12:44 > 0:12:48is living her period drama dream... for now, at least.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51I think it just sets the whole, kind of, feel for the wedding.

0:12:51 > 0:12:55I think being as he's known Alex for such a very long time, he knows

0:12:56 > 0:12:58how much she loves Downton Abbey, Pride And Prejudice -

0:12:58 > 0:13:00he knows how much she loves all that era.

0:13:00 > 0:13:05so I'd like to hope that he would take that on board.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Mark IS on board..

0:13:07 > 0:13:10the tractor, that is - and plans for his fun-filled farm day

0:13:10 > 0:13:12are coming together.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15- What I'm thinking is having, like, our main area...- That field.

0:13:15 > 0:13:19That field, right, and if we're having our food in that field

0:13:19 > 0:13:23- over there...- Then wanting to do the disco bits and that up in here,

0:13:23 > 0:13:26so we could decorate that barn or keep it down there all night.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30- Keep it down there.- So, with the farm offering everything he needs

0:13:30 > 0:13:32- for a West Country shindig... - Brilliant.

0:13:32 > 0:13:36..Mark snaps up the field, tractor and animals for a bargain £400.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38- PEACOCK CRIES - Exactly.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43Oblivious she's about to have an ooh-are-ee wedding, Alex's faith

0:13:43 > 0:13:45in Mark is unwavering.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48Is there anything that you hate that he night do?

0:13:48 > 0:13:52- I don't see why he would do it, cos he would know I hate...- That's true.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54Alex, because he is a man!

0:13:55 > 0:13:59Any groom wouldn't mean to upset you on your wedding day,

0:13:59 > 0:14:01but I think it just happens cos they think it's a good idea.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04I think he also knows that you see the positives...

0:14:04 > 0:14:07But that would be really sad that he thought it was really good

0:14:07 > 0:14:11and it wasn't, cos then I would think, he doesn't know me at all.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14I hope for his sake that it isn't awful.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16Could this be last orders for Mark?

0:14:19 > 0:14:23With his reception booked, Mark set his heart on a local church

0:14:23 > 0:14:26for the ceremony, but with his telephone messages left

0:14:26 > 0:14:29unanswered, he decides to visit in person.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35I know deep down that she would love to get married in a church,

0:14:35 > 0:14:37and I would like to do that for her.

0:14:37 > 0:14:43- Hello?- And it appears someone's on his side.- It's a yes.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45- It's a call back from the vicar. - OK. Brilliant.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49That's where we'll be getting married. Alex will be...

0:14:49 > 0:14:54She'll be in tears, I know she will, because this is

0:14:54 > 0:14:57the number one venue for her, I reckon, deep down...

0:14:57 > 0:14:59and I've just got it.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02Ceremony confirmed,

0:15:02 > 0:15:06Mark's turning his attention back to the children's farm reception.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09'Have you got any specific theme that you're going for, for your wedding?'

0:15:09 > 0:15:14Yeah, I'm sort of doing, like, a cider sort of farmy, like,

0:15:14 > 0:15:15shindig sort of thing...

0:15:15 > 0:15:20'OK. Um... Well, you're looking for, you know, the marquee itself.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23'That's going to be around the £4,000 mark.'

0:15:23 > 0:15:25£4,000, OK.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28'Right, and then the price for the actual catering...'

0:15:28 > 0:15:32Maybe do two, like, sort of meat dishes and then maybe having

0:15:32 > 0:15:35availability for, like a...

0:15:35 > 0:15:36What's it called?

0:15:36 > 0:15:39- Non-meat eaters, if you know what I mean.- 'Oh, vegetarian.'

0:15:39 > 0:15:41Vegetarian. That's the one!

0:15:41 > 0:15:43- Non-meat eaters catered for.- Hello?

0:15:43 > 0:15:47- The best men turn up to see how Mark's doing without them.- Hello.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50- All right, mate? How you getting on?- Yeah.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53Made a few phone calls this morning. Marquee,

0:15:53 > 0:15:57day food, evening food is come to about six grand.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02Is there no leeway then, with money? Have you spoke to her about that?

0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Yeah.- She said phone up some other companies and they said,

0:16:05 > 0:16:07- they'll do it for this, this, and... - That's the other thing.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10- Have you tried any other companies?- No.

0:16:11 > 0:16:15So, in one phone call, Mark's spent almost half his budget

0:16:15 > 0:16:17on a marquee and some food.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20Time for best man Natty to step in.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22I'm just phoning on behalf of my friend, Mark,

0:16:22 > 0:16:24he spoke to you earlier about his wedding.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27Just £100 off anything would just be a real help to us, to be honest.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30'It was 5,920, so if I do 5,900,

0:16:30 > 0:16:33- 'then obviously that's a round figure.'- Yeah. That's fine.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36Yeah, so 5,900. That's superb. You're a star, Carol.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40- Thanks ever so much.- 'All right.' - Cheer, love...- 'Speak to you soon.'

0:16:40 > 0:16:44- Got 20 quid off.- He's got 20 quid off, mate.- Boom.- Get in there.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46- Come on. - Come on, Natty's saved the day.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48Well, he's saved 20 quid.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51We've spent a lot on venue and marquee and that,

0:16:51 > 0:16:54so we've used a big slice of our budget, so it's now just

0:16:54 > 0:16:58- trying to see...- If we can wangle other bits to get it right down.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02We have so much more to get.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04Wedding dresses, bridesmaids dresses,

0:17:04 > 0:17:06suits, wedding rings, cakes.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08This... Oh, the list keeps going on and on.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15Nobody knows better about planning a wedding than bride-to-be

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Alex and sister Amy.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20They've been planning Amy's wedding for over a year, but Alex is

0:17:20 > 0:17:22about to pip her to the post.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26I'll be getting married before she gets married,

0:17:26 > 0:17:29so I think, although we are so supportive of each other, I think

0:17:29 > 0:17:32there's always a little bit of kind of competitiveness in it.

0:17:32 > 0:17:36I'm the younger sister. She doesn't like me kind of beating her to it.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41With my wedding, we've had good fun

0:17:41 > 0:17:45- going to different wedding venues. - Yeah, we've had loads of fun.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49- All the different wedding fairs and...- Yeah...- You being my cake

0:17:49 > 0:17:53tester... That's what I feel sad - that you're not going to be able to

0:17:53 > 0:17:56choose the one best thing that you've loved doing the most is

0:17:56 > 0:17:58- tasting all the cakes for me! - I know.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01You've almost been, you know, like,

0:18:01 > 0:18:04kind of, your head on my shoulders,

0:18:04 > 0:18:07if you like, and when I've had a problem with one thing or another,

0:18:07 > 0:18:11you're always the one that's been - "Oh, no, don't worry about this",

0:18:11 > 0:18:14or "this is what we can do", or "this is what she should do", or...

0:18:14 > 0:18:15Whereas obviously with yours,

0:18:15 > 0:18:19we're almost just turning up as guests, really,

0:18:19 > 0:18:24apart from actually you're the bride and I'm the maid of honour.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27Yeah, I never thought of it that way before.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30- A guest to my own wedding.- Yeah.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37In Westbury, the boys are off to find Alex a wedding dress

0:18:37 > 0:18:41and sticking with their local theme, they know just the place - the shop

0:18:41 > 0:18:44directly opposite the local pub.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47But for Mark, the location is the only straightforward thing

0:18:47 > 0:18:49about this.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51They're not white, though, are they? Are they white?

0:18:51 > 0:18:54Well, it's some white and cream in there.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58They all look the same to me.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01Time for our loyal best men to step in - again.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04What sort of style do you want? Do you want without lace? Lace?

0:19:04 > 0:19:08And the other question is, do you want it... Do you want it long?

0:19:08 > 0:19:12- Um... I have no idea. - Or do you want ruffles, like that?

0:19:12 > 0:19:14Um... I don't know.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17Could you see Alex wearing something like that?

0:19:18 > 0:19:19They all look the same.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25I feel physically sick. I just want to throw up.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34Keen to show off HER perfect dress, Alex has brought her mum and

0:19:34 > 0:19:37bridesmaids to a boutique in nearby Bradford-on-Avon.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39She knows it well.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42The shop that I'm going to see today is a beautiful designer shop.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45I went there with my sister for her wedding dress and the dresses

0:19:45 > 0:19:46there are out of this world.

0:19:46 > 0:19:47As I think you know,

0:19:47 > 0:19:50we've got the best British designers in the country.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Mm-hm. Yeah.- Suzanne Neville, over there.- Mm-hm.- Claire Pettibone.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Jenny Packham.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57They are really, really expensive,

0:19:57 > 0:20:00probably between about 5,000 and £7,000.

0:20:00 > 0:20:05I don't want any kind of...too much fuss, I don't want anything too big.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07I like buttons, I like a little bit of lace,

0:20:07 > 0:20:11- but, kind of, something without too much fuss on it, I think.- OK.

0:20:11 > 0:20:15And for Alex, much like her perfect venue, she wants her dress

0:20:15 > 0:20:19to reflect the sophistication of 1920s high society.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24I would love a silky, satin, sleek dress,

0:20:24 > 0:20:27sculpted all the way down, it would have a small train, kind of,

0:20:27 > 0:20:31pooling at the bottom, possibly backless, some really kind of dainty

0:20:31 > 0:20:35straps and dainty, kind of, beading and bit of glitz and glamour.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Kind of Downton Abbey-style.- Very simple at the front...- Yeah, it is.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41- It is.- All the detail on the back. - Yeah, I like that.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44I would hate A-line dresses that just don't give you any shape.

0:20:44 > 0:20:48I would hate dresses that, kind of, wrap to one side.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50I would hate a dress with a motif.

0:20:50 > 0:20:54I hate embellishments, like flowers stuck on the side of the hip.

0:20:54 > 0:20:58I hate lace-up dresses, I hate zip-up dresses.

0:20:58 > 0:20:59I hate it all.

0:20:59 > 0:21:03Plain and simple is the best way to go on a dress.

0:21:03 > 0:21:04And breathe.

0:21:06 > 0:21:10- That's nice.- That is nice and it's got little things like that on.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Yeah.- Phew... That's a good start.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16Back in Westbury, the boys are in a dress minefield.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20- Just remember, plain and simple. - That is quite nice, actually.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22That is nice, yeah. Put it in the maybe pile.

0:21:22 > 0:21:26- I think that's quite nice.- I think it's nice, but it's up to you.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28Put it in the "maybe" pile, then.

0:21:28 > 0:21:32- They finally whittle it down to two dresses.- That's decent.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34That looks decent.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37The first is an A-line dress with flower embellishment.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48- Hmm... What you thinking now? - It's on a par with that one.

0:21:48 > 0:21:53The next dress wraps to one side and is anything but plain and simple.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56I'm trying to think, like... Been with her ten years.

0:21:58 > 0:22:02Mark doesn't seem sure what Alex would like.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04Come on, think, man.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08- Tell us your thoughts.- Two seconds.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Let me just have three minutes of silence.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13- And right now... - ..so I can try and picture Alex.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16He doesn't even seem sure what she looks like(!)

0:22:18 > 0:22:21More wine please...

0:22:21 > 0:22:23The bottle, please.

0:22:23 > 0:22:24Fuck it!

0:22:24 > 0:22:30While Mark struggles to picture his own fiancee, the bridal party

0:22:30 > 0:22:32are about to see her in the dress of her dreams.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Oh, my God.- 100%.- Ahh...

0:22:40 > 0:22:42It is incredible, isn't it?

0:22:43 > 0:22:47That is stunning. Absolutely stunning.

0:22:47 > 0:22:48I'm shaking!

0:22:48 > 0:22:53Alex's dream dress is a satin, figure-skimming, floor-length gown

0:22:53 > 0:22:57with delicately-draped straps and lace back detail.

0:22:57 > 0:23:01Worn with a glamorous headpiece, the elegant number is just what

0:23:01 > 0:23:04you'd expect for a £3,000 price tag.

0:23:04 > 0:23:08This is the dream dress. This is everything I thought it would be.

0:23:08 > 0:23:12It is simple and plain and satin and silky.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15The material is beyond incredible. It just feels like me.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19It just feels like it's the dress I was meant to have and should have.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21You look even better than Mary off Downton Abbey,

0:23:21 > 0:23:23as she walked down the staircase!

0:23:23 > 0:23:25- Ooh. I don't want to take it off! - I was going to say.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28- You're not going to want to... - I don't want to take it off.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34Back in Westbury, it looks like Mark is about to make a huge mistake,

0:23:34 > 0:23:36whichever dress he chooses.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39What... So, what do you prefer?

0:23:40 > 0:23:42Which one would you want to tear more?

0:23:42 > 0:23:45That's the way I see it. Which one would you want to tear more?

0:23:45 > 0:23:48- I know which one I would. - Yeah, I'm going to go that one.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51- The left one?- Yeah. Definitely.- Yeah. I think that's a good choice.- Yeah.

0:23:51 > 0:23:55- Yep. Yep. Take them away, quick. - Quick choice.- Take them away.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58So, he's gone for a side-wrapped ruffled dress.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00It isn't plain or simple,

0:24:00 > 0:24:02but is it expensive?

0:24:02 > 0:24:07- What sort of price are we looking at?- 535.- 535.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10- That's within our budget, innit? - Yeah.- Happy with that.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Way within our budget. - Sweet. Brilliant.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16- Fingers crossed she likes it. - Yeah.- Yeah. Me, too.- Yeah.

0:24:16 > 0:24:20I know what I like seeing Alex in, whether she likes being in it...

0:24:20 > 0:24:23but I know what I like, so I had to wing it and hopefully,

0:24:23 > 0:24:26fingers crossed, she likes it.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29Alex still has her dream dress on, but there's still one thought

0:24:29 > 0:24:32she just can't shake off.

0:24:32 > 0:24:37See, I just don't think in a million years this would even

0:24:37 > 0:24:38be his vision at all.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40She's not the only one.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43I can't believe you've allowed him to choose your dress, Alex,

0:24:43 > 0:24:45because you know exactly what you want.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50I know she's had her heart set on her particular dress for such

0:24:50 > 0:24:53a long time and I really, really worry that her wedding day

0:24:53 > 0:24:58will be ruined for her because it's not the one she really wanted.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00I just dread to think what I'm going to be trying on.

0:25:00 > 0:25:04Does it not make you feel sick to your tummy that you could turn up

0:25:04 > 0:25:09the day before your wedding and try a dress and not have one you want?

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Don't know. I don't think that far ahead.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14It's coming quite quickly, Alex.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17At least Alex is putting on a brave face, the same can't be said

0:25:17 > 0:25:19for her sister.

0:25:19 > 0:25:20Oh, gosh.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23'I feel sad that I'm not involved because...'

0:25:23 > 0:25:24Like...

0:25:25 > 0:25:29she's been involved in mine SO much, that...

0:25:29 > 0:25:31I can't help her with anything.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34But I almost feel like it's a shame for him

0:25:34 > 0:25:36that he'll never see me in this.

0:25:36 > 0:25:40- Oh, Alex, don't.- Yeah, he won't find a dress at all like this.

0:25:40 > 0:25:41He never will.

0:25:49 > 0:25:53A week to the wedding and Mark's finally decided to send out

0:25:53 > 0:25:57invites and, for his bride to be, he's thought of something special.

0:26:00 > 0:26:04- Easy.- The best men have been sent on a chicken run. Literally.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07To hint at the farmyard wedding, they're sneaking into Alex's

0:26:07 > 0:26:12mum's garden. All they have to do is get the invite round

0:26:12 > 0:26:14one of her chicken's necks.

0:26:14 > 0:26:20- Oh, my goodness.- Unfortunately, these lads aren't great with the chicks.

0:26:20 > 0:26:21It's all red.

0:26:34 > 0:26:38With the invite cracked and Alex due back, the boys

0:26:38 > 0:26:42leave the chicken to the fate of the local foxes and scarper.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44Come on, then, let's go.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51Someone's let the chickens out.

0:26:51 > 0:26:52I hope it wasn't me.

0:26:59 > 0:27:00I wonder if he's just escaped.

0:27:02 > 0:27:06What a silly, silly chicken. He won't let me catch him.

0:27:09 > 0:27:10Hold on.

0:27:10 > 0:27:14- Where's the invite? - I don't know how you got out.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16Oh, no, look what he's done to the borders.

0:27:16 > 0:27:21Luckily, Alex spots it down in the dirt...which is appropriate.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23Oh, how random.

0:27:23 > 0:27:26Yeah, I don't know why he put it on the bloomin' chicken.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28What's that?

0:27:28 > 0:27:31This is what I just came back and found one of the chickens escaped.

0:27:31 > 0:27:37- This had come off from around his neck.- Round his neck? Thursday.- Yeah.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39Oh, my gosh.

0:27:40 > 0:27:44Over the next few days, Mark sets about making his Ooh Arh theme

0:27:44 > 0:27:46a reality.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49First, what all weddings need - footwear.

0:27:49 > 0:27:50Anything we can do for you?

0:27:50 > 0:27:53- I was just looking at some wellies.- Righteo.

0:27:53 > 0:27:57- Do you know what size foot she is? - Yeah, six.- What's that?- Size six.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00It was meant to be then, isn't it? That's pretty good, isn't it?

0:28:00 > 0:28:02The only thing is, pink don't match our colour scheme.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04- It looks... - What is our colour scheme?

0:28:04 > 0:28:06Then, keeping it local, scrumpy cider.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11Oh my... Warh, they're heavy.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14Transport. What? No tractor?

0:28:14 > 0:28:16These are your options, are they?

0:28:16 > 0:28:18We've come across with another option, as well.

0:28:18 > 0:28:20We're just giving it a bit of a dust off for you.

0:28:20 > 0:28:22That is amazing. I love that.

0:28:22 > 0:28:24And for entertainment, Mark's aiming high.

0:28:24 > 0:28:28He's trying to book one of the West Country's biggest names.

0:28:28 > 0:28:30I was wondering the availability The Wurzels.

0:28:30 > 0:28:33# I am a cider drinker

0:28:33 > 0:28:37# I drinks it all of the day. #

0:28:37 > 0:28:38Wow.

0:28:38 > 0:28:452,500 for an hour's set. They... Plus VAT, that is. The Wurzels,

0:28:45 > 0:28:47out of the question.

0:28:47 > 0:28:50No Wurzels. It's an ooh arh disast-arh.

0:28:53 > 0:28:56It's the last weekend before the weekend and Mark's sent

0:28:56 > 0:28:59instructions for the hen night.

0:28:59 > 0:29:00You've got mail.

0:29:03 > 0:29:06- Oh, you've got a party. - Yeah, but I'm wondering what

0:29:06 > 0:29:09because this says, a taxi will be picking you and your bridesmaids up.

0:29:09 > 0:29:11I hope your hen do blows you away.

0:29:11 > 0:29:12So I don't know what he means by blow.

0:29:16 > 0:29:20While the girls get ready, Mark's been doing some blowing himself.

0:29:20 > 0:29:23Well, these balls must've take a bit of blowing up.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29As a warm-up to the stag night, him and the boys

0:29:29 > 0:29:31are playing bubble football.

0:29:33 > 0:29:35And Mark's on a roll.

0:29:38 > 0:29:43Back at Alex's and the hens are off. And there's high hopes for the day.

0:29:43 > 0:29:46'If today goes really well, then I think it will set him

0:29:46 > 0:29:49'in good stead for the rest of the wedding.'

0:29:49 > 0:29:52For him to have written on there and say, I hope it blows you away,

0:29:52 > 0:29:55- I'm thinking, well... - It's got to be something good.

0:29:55 > 0:29:56- Mmm.- Yeah.

0:29:58 > 0:30:00Or he's set himself up for a fall.

0:30:02 > 0:30:06Mark has decided to send the hens on a glass-blowing course.

0:30:06 > 0:30:08- Does this mean we're going in? - But has he smashed it?

0:30:08 > 0:30:12As if we want to fucking do glass blowing. I fucking hate it.

0:30:12 > 0:30:14That'll be a no, then.

0:30:16 > 0:30:17- Hello.- Hiya.

0:30:17 > 0:30:21- So, you're going to be having a go at glass-blowing.- Can't wait.

0:30:21 > 0:30:23# Glass

0:30:23 > 0:30:25# Glass

0:30:25 > 0:30:27# Glass. #

0:30:27 > 0:30:30I don't know why he would even pick this. I don't know.

0:30:30 > 0:30:32The most fun I've had all week.

0:30:32 > 0:30:36Don't particularly care about glass, or the way glass is made,

0:30:36 > 0:30:38or the way glass looks.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40Don't particularly care about glass.

0:30:40 > 0:30:43It's like a childhood dream.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45Cracks are beginning to show

0:30:45 > 0:30:47and not in the glass baubles they're making.

0:30:47 > 0:30:49But I thought he would think it'll be something that she wants to do

0:30:49 > 0:30:52or she's mentioned or she's...

0:30:52 > 0:30:54You know, dreamed about doing.

0:30:57 > 0:30:59Glass blowing.

0:30:59 > 0:31:02I thought he would really pull it out of the bag and do something

0:31:02 > 0:31:05that would blow me away, whereas this just annoyed me.

0:31:05 > 0:31:07I think she's beginning to worry.

0:31:07 > 0:31:11I think she's beginning to think, "What have I let myself in for?"

0:31:11 > 0:31:13"If this was his idea of a hen night,

0:31:13 > 0:31:15"what's the wedding going to be like?"

0:31:20 > 0:31:23Back in Westbury, the lads are hitting the town and, like his

0:31:23 > 0:31:26wedding plans, Mark's staying local.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30We had high hopes it was going to Las Vegas.

0:31:30 > 0:31:31Then it got whittled down.

0:31:31 > 0:31:34- Well done, mate.- Whey.- Whey.

0:31:34 > 0:31:36And with no budget left, we're coming out in Westbury.

0:31:36 > 0:31:39It's pretty much a dump, to be honest!

0:31:39 > 0:31:42For your stag do, mate, you have to wear the chicken.

0:31:49 > 0:31:54Whilst Mark's dressed as a chicken, the girls are dressing up,

0:31:54 > 0:31:57but it seems the glass-blowing hen do has ruffled their feathers.

0:31:57 > 0:32:00I think earlier's given me a bit of a downer, if I'm honest.

0:32:00 > 0:32:02I'm not really sure what to expect.

0:32:02 > 0:32:06I'm not really expecting anything too good, now that I've had part one.

0:32:08 > 0:32:13Well, part two is simply a table at the local Indian restaurant.

0:32:13 > 0:32:17Mark's spiced things up, secretly inviting all of Alex's friends.

0:32:17 > 0:32:18CHEERING

0:32:20 > 0:32:21Ah, I'm shaking.

0:32:21 > 0:32:24Well, we are at our local Indian and I thought, "Oh, great,

0:32:24 > 0:32:27"is this what it's going to be?" But he obviously hasn't really

0:32:27 > 0:32:28thought too much about it.

0:32:28 > 0:32:31And then, when I just stepped out of the car and I saw all

0:32:31 > 0:32:34the girls there, this is a good one, this is a good part two.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36I can't believe he got everybody here.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38So, he's pulled it out of the bag tonight

0:32:38 > 0:32:40and he's really showed me what I kind of want for a hen -

0:32:40 > 0:32:43just all of the girls there having fun, dressed up together.

0:32:46 > 0:32:50Back down the local, the boys have now been drinking all day, but this

0:32:50 > 0:32:52chicken isn't stuffed.

0:32:52 > 0:32:54- He's battered.- Oi.

0:32:54 > 0:32:55THEY CHANT: Drink!

0:33:00 > 0:33:03# Alex would do better! Alex would do better.

0:33:03 > 0:33:06# La, la, la, la, la... Hey... La, la, la, la, la.

0:33:06 > 0:33:11- Looks like local-loving Mark is absolutely basted.- Yeah.

0:33:14 > 0:33:19- Are you feeling good, chick? - Yeah. Yeah, I feel good.- Liar.

0:33:25 > 0:33:29The next day, nursing a hangover, Mark's hoping his headache

0:33:29 > 0:33:31isn't about to get a whole lot worse.

0:33:32 > 0:33:35The bridesmaids are on their way round.

0:33:35 > 0:33:36Shit, I'm getting a bit nervous now.

0:33:36 > 0:33:40And with no best men for backup, Mark's about to reveal the dresses

0:33:40 > 0:33:43he's chosen for them all on his own.

0:33:43 > 0:33:47Four girls to impress, so it's going to be a bit challenging, I think.

0:33:48 > 0:33:52Wish I had my best men here. They won't stand for anything.

0:33:52 > 0:33:55If they come in not liking them, I'm not going to change them at all,

0:33:55 > 0:33:58so they've got to like it or lump it, really.

0:34:00 > 0:34:05- How is everyone, all right?- Good. - Good.- Excited?- No. No. Nervous.- No?

0:34:05 > 0:34:07We don't understand how you can choose our dresses

0:34:07 > 0:34:09when the height difference is so different.

0:34:12 > 0:34:15- Yeah. I didn't even think about that.- Have you got them here?

0:34:15 > 0:34:16You didn't even think about it. Mark!

0:34:16 > 0:34:20- Yeah, go on, then, if you want to go up and get them.- OK.

0:34:20 > 0:34:23They said something about the height.

0:34:23 > 0:34:27- Didn't even think about the height. - Bet that headache's kicking in now.

0:34:32 > 0:34:36- What do you think?- We like them. - Love them.- You do? Did good?- Yeah.

0:34:38 > 0:34:40- I done good, didn't I? - Yes. Yeah, you did really good.

0:34:40 > 0:34:42You've done really well.

0:34:42 > 0:34:44- Length and all that will be fine, won't it?- Yeah.

0:34:44 > 0:34:45You done really well.

0:34:45 > 0:34:47You've done really well, they do look stunning.

0:34:47 > 0:34:49Now it's just about Alex liking her dress.

0:34:49 > 0:34:54- Well, four out of five ain't bad, is it?- No. Yeah, you tell her that.

0:34:55 > 0:34:58- It's all right, we like ours. - Yeah, massive result today.

0:34:59 > 0:35:03- Sort of cured my hangover a little bit I think.- Thank you. Good luck.

0:35:03 > 0:35:06- All right, I'll see you Thursday. - See you later, mate.

0:35:06 > 0:35:08£35 each , so... We won't tell them that, though.

0:35:08 > 0:35:11- We'll let them find that out another way.- See you later, Mark. Bye.

0:35:11 > 0:35:14- See ya later, girls. - Bye, mate.- Bye.- See you later.

0:35:14 > 0:35:16It's really surprised me that he

0:35:16 > 0:35:19could choose one dress for four girls by himself.

0:35:19 > 0:35:24Um, I hope that makes Alex realise that he actually can make good

0:35:24 > 0:35:26decision, because that was spot on.

0:35:26 > 0:35:28He did well with that one.

0:35:28 > 0:35:32Four girls down, just one now to impress, so fingers crossed.

0:35:35 > 0:35:39It's the day before the wedding and Alex is on her way to see the dress

0:35:39 > 0:35:43Mark has chosen for her - and she doesn't have to drive far.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46Hardest bit is just the not knowing. Do you know what I mean?

0:35:46 > 0:35:48Like, I can't even prepare myself

0:35:48 > 0:35:50because I don't know what I'm up against.

0:35:50 > 0:35:53- Where do you think you're going? - I don't know.

0:35:53 > 0:35:55So, this means we're going to the one in Westbury.

0:35:55 > 0:35:56How do you feel about that?

0:35:56 > 0:36:02Well, it's quite fitting that it's opposite the Ludlow, isn't it?

0:36:02 > 0:36:06- I can imagine him leaving the pub after a pint...- Thinking, "Oh,

0:36:06 > 0:36:09"shall I go and grab a dress?

0:36:09 > 0:36:10"Shall I go and get one now?"

0:36:10 > 0:36:13Hope he's put a bit more effort in than that.

0:36:13 > 0:36:16He's currently putting in a lot of effort over at the venue.

0:36:16 > 0:36:21With his marquee going up on the farm, Mark couldn't be happier.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24Oh, look at that. That's exactly what I need.

0:36:24 > 0:36:26Wow, that is happy.

0:36:27 > 0:36:30Some hay bales have arrived for seating and Mark's not

0:36:30 > 0:36:32scrimping on accommodation, either.

0:36:32 > 0:36:36Yep, that's a caravan for the bride and groom to stay in

0:36:36 > 0:36:38on their wedding night.

0:36:38 > 0:36:39Special.

0:36:41 > 0:36:45Over in Westbury, Alex is about to see the dress Mark has chosen

0:36:45 > 0:36:47for her.

0:36:47 > 0:36:50- You must be nervous now. Waiting for this moment.- Hmm...

0:36:52 > 0:36:54She wanted a simple, elegant,

0:36:54 > 0:36:561920s style dress.

0:37:01 > 0:37:04Is that anything like you imagined?

0:37:04 > 0:37:06Nope. Look at the back.

0:37:10 > 0:37:12It's nothing that I would choose, at all.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18I hate any of this. I hate this. I hate this.

0:37:22 > 0:37:28- It's nothing that I'd pick, at all. - Try it on, though. Try it on.

0:37:29 > 0:37:33Oh, yeah, I'll try it on, but I know exactly what it's going to look like.

0:37:33 > 0:37:38That dress is everything that I hate put into one dress. It is horrible.

0:37:38 > 0:37:42It is awful. I, literally, am shocked.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44Like, I thought he would actually get it right.

0:37:50 > 0:37:53You look amazing in it. You look absolutely amazing.

0:37:53 > 0:37:54Right, let's have a look.

0:37:59 > 0:38:04- I hate it even more.- Do you? - It's, literally, not me, whatsoever.

0:38:04 > 0:38:06Not one bit.

0:38:09 > 0:38:10I had such good faith in him.

0:38:12 > 0:38:18It is, literally, ironic that this is everything I said I didn't want.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20You would upset Mark. How do you think Mark would feel?

0:38:26 > 0:38:30You gave Mark the opportunity to plan your wedding.

0:38:30 > 0:38:32Could you compromise with this dress?

0:38:34 > 0:38:35No.

0:38:36 > 0:38:39- There is one other option...- OK.

0:38:39 > 0:38:43- Because it was between two very different dresses...- Oh, good.

0:38:43 > 0:38:48- That gives me hope.- OK... - Get me the other dress.- OK.- Quickly.

0:38:50 > 0:38:53Will Mark's second choice be good enough for Alex?

0:38:58 > 0:38:59I think that's even worse.

0:39:01 > 0:39:03He's got it so wrong twice.

0:39:05 > 0:39:06'I know exactly what I wanted

0:39:06 > 0:39:08'and I just...'

0:39:08 > 0:39:10I really did think that he would get it right.

0:39:10 > 0:39:11I really had faith that he would.

0:39:11 > 0:39:14I though, "It's been almost ten years, he knows my style,

0:39:14 > 0:39:17"he knows how, kind of, elegant and plain I wanted it."

0:39:19 > 0:39:20So...

0:39:20 > 0:39:24I don't like either of them. Whatsoever.

0:39:24 > 0:39:25Better phone him, then.

0:39:25 > 0:39:28The question is, will Mark stick to his guns and insist she wears

0:39:28 > 0:39:31the dress he so painstakingly chose?

0:39:31 > 0:39:35- Hello?- All right, mate. - Yeah, you all right?

0:39:35 > 0:39:37She doesn't like any of the dresses.

0:39:39 > 0:39:41We've tried the second one on that you liked

0:39:41 > 0:39:43and she doesn't like either of them.

0:39:43 > 0:39:46- Don't she?- No.- Honest?

0:39:46 > 0:39:48One's too busy, one's too plain.

0:39:50 > 0:39:53- She hates them both.- Alex said that?

0:39:53 > 0:39:58- Yeah. Are we OK to pick another dress?- OK.

0:39:58 > 0:40:03I've got a busy day today, so that has just... That is a phone call

0:40:03 > 0:40:05that I've just got to put up with.

0:40:05 > 0:40:09I had to do my best and I've done what I could and, yeah,

0:40:09 > 0:40:11obviously, she don't like it, so...

0:40:13 > 0:40:18Back in charge, Alex is hunting for the perfect replacement.

0:40:18 > 0:40:19Yeah, I do like the back.

0:40:19 > 0:40:22And it's the one in the window that's caught her eye.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24I'll try that one, cos that one's just so plain.

0:40:29 > 0:40:33True to form, Alex has chosen a sleek and simple dress.

0:40:33 > 0:40:35Ah, that is beautiful.

0:40:37 > 0:40:39Now, she cries - it must be good!

0:40:39 > 0:40:41That is stunning.

0:40:41 > 0:40:45Why didn't he see this one in the window? How could he miss this one?

0:40:45 > 0:40:48I think when he sees me tomorrow and he sees me in the dress,

0:40:48 > 0:40:51'he'll realise how good it looks and, actually, that, yeah,'

0:40:51 > 0:40:54I did make the right decision, like I always do.

0:40:55 > 0:40:59I think Mark's going to be absolutely gutted.

0:40:59 > 0:41:03Disappointed he didn't get the idea of what he wanted.

0:41:03 > 0:41:04I'd given him all the power

0:41:04 > 0:41:09and then I'd, kind of, realised that he wasn't doing what I wanted him

0:41:09 > 0:41:12to do with it and I had to try and, you know, get some of it back.

0:41:12 > 0:41:15Trouble is, this is just one of Mark's decisions.

0:41:15 > 0:41:18Tomorrow, it'll be too late to change anything.

0:41:24 > 0:41:28It's the morning of the wedding and, at Alex's mum's house,

0:41:28 > 0:41:32the photographer has arrived.

0:41:32 > 0:41:36- Hello.- Sorry, I'm early. I'm the photographer.- Oh, come on in.

0:41:37 > 0:41:40- Right, Alex. - Work your magic with us.

0:41:40 > 0:41:43You might need Photoshop.

0:41:47 > 0:41:49A week ago, I definitely thought that he would get it right,

0:41:49 > 0:41:51cos he knows exactly what I'm like

0:41:51 > 0:41:53and then the hen came along and I thought, "Oh, OK."

0:41:53 > 0:41:55And then the dress came along and I thought,

0:41:55 > 0:41:58"Hm, I don't think we are on the same wavelength."

0:41:58 > 0:42:02With the realisation that things might not go entirely her way

0:42:02 > 0:42:03and having hated her own dress,

0:42:04 > 0:42:09it's a tense moment, as the bridesmaids reveal theirs.

0:42:09 > 0:42:13- What do you think?- Whoa.

0:42:13 > 0:42:15- Do you like them?- Yeah, I love them.

0:42:15 > 0:42:17Do you think you could've chose this good?

0:42:17 > 0:42:18Yeah, I think he's done really well.

0:42:18 > 0:42:21- We were really shocked. - We were really shocked.

0:42:21 > 0:42:22It's a miracle.

0:42:22 > 0:42:23And it, literally, does suit you all.

0:42:23 > 0:42:26Mark's managed to please everyone.

0:42:27 > 0:42:29Suited and booted,

0:42:29 > 0:42:34the groomsmen have time to make one important stop before the church.

0:42:34 > 0:42:36- Cheers for everything, lads. - Nah, that's all right, mate.

0:42:36 > 0:42:40- It's been...not a pleasure. - I know.- I know.

0:42:40 > 0:42:43- We'll see you later. See you in a bit.- See ya later.

0:42:43 > 0:42:47Now, before you go, have you got everything?

0:42:47 > 0:42:48No, I ain't. Fuck me.

0:42:48 > 0:42:51Rings. Rings.

0:42:51 > 0:42:56With Mark, the best men and the wedding rings now on their way,

0:42:56 > 0:42:59Alex is about to show the bridesmaids the dress

0:42:59 > 0:43:02she's chosen for her wedding.

0:43:03 > 0:43:06Oh, wow. You look beautiful.

0:43:06 > 0:43:09- Do you like it? - I love it. Oh, my God.- Wow.

0:43:09 > 0:43:11- Wow, that's lush. - That's beautiful.- Oh.

0:43:11 > 0:43:13They may have no idea where they're heading,

0:43:13 > 0:43:16but this bridal party is raring to go

0:43:16 > 0:43:18when Mark's next surprise of the day trots up.

0:43:18 > 0:43:22Oh, my God! Agh!

0:43:24 > 0:43:28It's traditional and how most people travelled in the 1920s,

0:43:28 > 0:43:30so she must be pleased.

0:43:30 > 0:43:32- Wow.- Are you shocked?- Yeah, I am.

0:43:32 > 0:43:34I didn't think he would do this, at all.

0:43:34 > 0:43:35I didn't think he'd do this.

0:43:35 > 0:43:38I think I was still going to go more classic, with a car.

0:43:38 > 0:43:41I can't imagine a horse and cart are going to go anywhere

0:43:41 > 0:43:44outside of Westbury, because it'd be too long of a journey so, yeah,

0:43:44 > 0:43:46I'm thinking it's in Westbury somewhere.

0:43:46 > 0:43:48Bye.

0:43:48 > 0:43:50Ah, you'd think that.

0:43:50 > 0:43:53But Mark's big surprise is that this local boy

0:43:53 > 0:43:56has chosen a church five miles away.

0:44:00 > 0:44:03Bloody hell, Alex.

0:44:03 > 0:44:06- We're off to Trowbridge.- Where?

0:44:06 > 0:44:07We're off to Trowbridge.

0:44:07 > 0:44:09It's only ten minutes by car,

0:44:09 > 0:44:13but by cart, including a little rest for the horses,

0:44:13 > 0:44:16it's over an hour and on a busy main road.

0:44:16 > 0:44:19- What an absolute... - I know.- ..idiot.

0:44:23 > 0:44:25I now have got no clue,

0:44:25 > 0:44:28because I didn't even dream that it would be outside of Westbury.

0:44:28 > 0:44:30I really thought he would choose Westbury

0:44:30 > 0:44:33and he would stay really local, so now I haven't got a clue.

0:44:33 > 0:44:36This is a longer journey than Auntie Alex thought,

0:44:36 > 0:44:37Oli, isn't it?

0:44:38 > 0:44:40Where could it be? Where could it be?

0:44:48 > 0:44:49After all that time on the road...

0:44:49 > 0:44:52- Was that the longest journey of your life?- Yeah.

0:44:52 > 0:44:55..will Alex appreciate Mark's choice of ceremony venue?

0:44:55 > 0:44:57This is the church that my mum got married at.

0:44:57 > 0:44:59This is the church that my grandparents got married at.

0:44:59 > 0:45:01So, yeah, it's a very special place.

0:45:01 > 0:45:05For once, Alex is struggling to keep her composure.

0:45:05 > 0:45:10I, literally, did not even think it would be here, at all. Not at all.

0:45:10 > 0:45:11Like...

0:45:11 > 0:45:13Yeah, I'm speechless.

0:45:13 > 0:45:17Looks like Mark is on Alex's wavelength, after all.

0:45:17 > 0:45:20Let's hope so, because after ten years together,

0:45:20 > 0:45:23these childhood sweethearts are about to tie the knot.

0:45:23 > 0:45:26# I was scared of dentists and the dark

0:45:28 > 0:45:32# I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations

0:45:32 > 0:45:37# Oh, all my friends are turning green

0:45:37 > 0:45:41# You're the magician's assistant in their dreams

0:45:42 > 0:45:47# Uh, ooh ooh oooh

0:45:47 > 0:45:49# Uh, ooh ooh

0:45:49 > 0:45:52# And they come unstuck

0:45:52 > 0:45:56# Lady, running down to the riptide

0:45:56 > 0:45:58# Taken away to the dark side

0:45:58 > 0:46:01# I wanna be your left-hand man

0:46:01 > 0:46:04# I love you when you're singing that song

0:46:04 > 0:46:07# And I got a lump in my throat cos

0:46:07 > 0:46:10# You're gonna sing the words wrong... #

0:46:10 > 0:46:11Mark, will you take Alice, erm,

0:46:12 > 0:46:15- Alex, as your wife in Christian marriage...- Who's she?

0:46:15 > 0:46:17It had to happen, didn't it, really?

0:46:17 > 0:46:18THEY LAUGH

0:46:18 > 0:46:21It's only been three weeks.

0:46:21 > 0:46:26I, Mark Gordon Young, take thee, Alexandra Mary Kennett,

0:46:26 > 0:46:27to be my wedded wife.

0:46:27 > 0:46:31I, Alexandra Mary Kennett, take thee, Mark Gordon Young,

0:46:31 > 0:46:34to be my wedded husband and this is my solemn vow.

0:46:34 > 0:46:38# I love you when you're singing that song and

0:46:38 > 0:46:40# I got a lump in my throat cos

0:46:40 > 0:46:43# You're gonna sing the words... #

0:46:44 > 0:46:51I, therefore, pronounce them husband and wife.

0:46:51 > 0:46:54CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:47:02 > 0:47:04The wedding was amazing.

0:47:04 > 0:47:07Literally, this is the last place I feel I would ever have ended up.

0:47:07 > 0:47:11And this has got, you know, way more meaning for me than it has for him.

0:47:11 > 0:47:13So, yeah, really, really pleased.

0:47:13 > 0:47:14Nuptials over,

0:47:14 > 0:47:19our blushing bride starts married life as she means to go on -

0:47:19 > 0:47:21by taking control of things.

0:47:21 > 0:47:24- Has anybody got any confetti? - Yeah.- Yes.- Come on, then.

0:47:24 > 0:47:26Right, you need to come into a V-shape here.

0:47:27 > 0:47:31CHEERING

0:47:31 > 0:47:33But before the confetti has even settled

0:47:34 > 0:47:36and without a word to his new wife,

0:47:36 > 0:47:40it seems this groom can't get away fast enough.

0:47:41 > 0:47:43Is he doing a runner?

0:47:45 > 0:47:47Ay, he's going!

0:47:47 > 0:47:49SHE LAUGHS

0:47:49 > 0:47:52He's left you.

0:47:52 > 0:47:54Such an idiot.

0:47:54 > 0:47:56Why would he leave you?

0:47:57 > 0:47:59Well, that's an anti-climax.

0:48:02 > 0:48:08Just wander around on our own. It looks like I'm walking home.

0:48:08 > 0:48:12Mark has laid on some transport. It's just a matter of finding it.

0:48:12 > 0:48:14Are you here to pick up the bride?

0:48:14 > 0:48:17Well, if he's not, she'll probably just tell him he is.

0:48:17 > 0:48:21Mark is certainly keeping this bride on her toes.

0:48:21 > 0:48:23This is really strange.

0:48:23 > 0:48:24Like, I don't know why he...

0:48:24 > 0:48:27Like, I feel like we've been sent on a wild goose chase.

0:48:27 > 0:48:29I've been travelling for, like, over an hour,

0:48:29 > 0:48:31we don't know where we're going.

0:48:31 > 0:48:33I've spent more of my married life with my sister

0:48:33 > 0:48:36than I have with my husband, so far. Where are we?

0:48:39 > 0:48:43At the farmyard wedding reception, the boys are waiting,

0:48:43 > 0:48:45And Mark's hasty exit was so he could get changed

0:48:45 > 0:48:48into something a little less formal.

0:48:48 > 0:48:52But what will elegant Alex make of this West Country hoedown?

0:48:52 > 0:48:53Oh, my God.

0:48:55 > 0:48:57THEY LAUGH

0:48:58 > 0:48:59Your carriage awaits, my lady.

0:48:59 > 0:49:01They may be married already,

0:49:01 > 0:49:05but Mark's still hoping to attract her with a tractor.

0:49:05 > 0:49:09Surely Alex must be getting the theme by now.

0:49:09 > 0:49:12- What is this?- It's the theme.

0:49:16 > 0:49:19So, what are you boys meant to actually be, then? Scarecrows?

0:49:19 > 0:49:20- Farmers.- Farmers.- Farmers.

0:49:20 > 0:49:24I'm thinking this is like a child's dream right now.

0:49:26 > 0:49:28She doesn't get it, does she?

0:49:28 > 0:49:32Well, this is far from my ideas that I thought he was going to have

0:49:32 > 0:49:35but I literally thought he was going to go down the traditional route,

0:49:35 > 0:49:37whereas, clearly, not at all.

0:49:37 > 0:49:39With still no clue what's in store,

0:49:39 > 0:49:42maybe a tour around the marquee will help.

0:49:42 > 0:49:44Somerset cider anyone?

0:49:44 > 0:49:47I bet this stuff stinks.

0:49:48 > 0:49:52These remind me of Wellingtons when I was about five.

0:49:53 > 0:49:55What even is this?

0:49:55 > 0:49:56Is it edible?

0:49:56 > 0:49:58To me, it doesn't even look like a wedding cake.

0:49:58 > 0:50:01It's just so random. The whole thing it just...

0:50:01 > 0:50:03It's not anything I would have thought at all he would do.

0:50:03 > 0:50:06At all. Literally, I though the tables were all going to be round.

0:50:06 > 0:50:09Top table, all the other little round tables underneath.

0:50:09 > 0:50:13I never thought he would go for anything like this.

0:50:13 > 0:50:17- I do think he's made himself his own little farmyard.- Correct.

0:50:17 > 0:50:19And here comes Old Mark Donald now.

0:50:19 > 0:50:21E-I-E-I-O.

0:50:21 > 0:50:23- I think it's crazy. - Good, innit?

0:50:23 > 0:50:26- It's not anything that I thought you'd do at all.- Why?

0:50:26 > 0:50:28- I don't know. I just... - What did you think I'd do?

0:50:28 > 0:50:31Like, this morning, I, literally, thought it was going to be

0:50:31 > 0:50:36something really classic, just because you done, like the horse

0:50:36 > 0:50:38- and carriage and... - What is a horse and carriage like?

0:50:38 > 0:50:40The back of it?

0:50:40 > 0:50:43- Well, it was more like a cart, I guess.- Exactly.

0:50:43 > 0:50:45Oh! That's so good.

0:50:45 > 0:50:47- It all mixes in together.- Yeah.

0:50:47 > 0:50:49Finally, the penny's dropped.

0:50:49 > 0:50:51I didn't even think of the cart.

0:50:51 > 0:50:53Well, for Amy, at least.

0:50:53 > 0:50:55- I didn't even think.- No.

0:50:55 > 0:50:58Which is why I'm guessing my invite arrived via chicken.

0:50:58 > 0:50:59Correct.

0:50:59 > 0:51:02I think his theme probably sums him up, really.

0:51:02 > 0:51:05He, literally, is the hometown born-and-bred kinda guy,

0:51:07 > 0:51:09with the Somerset cider and the hay bales

0:51:09 > 0:51:13and the Wellingtons. It just about sums Mark up, really.

0:51:13 > 0:51:15Stinks.

0:51:15 > 0:51:17Oh, it's making me shiver already.

0:51:17 > 0:51:19At the minute, it's not what I wanted.

0:51:19 > 0:51:21I did want sophistication and a bit of glamour.

0:51:21 > 0:51:25Literally, it is a farmyard here, so it's crazy but, yeah,

0:51:25 > 0:51:28I'm definitely willing to, kind of, give him the benefit of the doubt

0:51:28 > 0:51:30and, kind of, see where his vision take us, I guess.

0:51:30 > 0:51:33# Ridin' along on the tractor, honey

0:51:33 > 0:51:35# When I noticed you... #

0:51:35 > 0:51:38As the first tractorload of guests arrive,

0:51:38 > 0:51:41this West Country shindig can begin.

0:51:41 > 0:51:43Once they get over the shock.

0:51:43 > 0:51:45Oh, my God.

0:51:45 > 0:51:48- I just didn't expect it, I don't think.- I didn't expect a farm.

0:51:48 > 0:51:52- No.- Not at all. I wouldn't want my wedding on a farm.

0:51:55 > 0:51:58- We weren't expecting to be this far out in the sticks.- No.

0:51:58 > 0:52:01With pigs and sheep, a petting zoo.

0:52:01 > 0:52:04It's very Mark, this theme, I think. Very country.

0:52:04 > 0:52:08All right? Hey, welcome to the old West Country shindig.

0:52:08 > 0:52:10Much appreciated.

0:52:10 > 0:52:13It suits us, because everybody that comes from everywhere,

0:52:13 > 0:52:17you know, farther than 20 miles away think that we're all, you know...

0:52:17 > 0:52:19- Country bumpkins. - Country bumpkins.

0:52:19 > 0:52:21But we have got brains and we appreciate...

0:52:21 > 0:52:24- Well, some of us have. - Yeah, well, you have, I haven't.

0:52:24 > 0:52:25Oh, thanks.

0:52:28 > 0:52:30And with a traditional West Country dinner served up,

0:52:30 > 0:52:32it's time for the speeches.

0:52:32 > 0:52:33First, the groom.

0:52:33 > 0:52:35TAPS GLASS

0:52:35 > 0:52:38I think you all like the theme I went for.

0:52:38 > 0:52:43It's a bit...bit country bumpkin, but hope everyone has a good night,

0:52:43 > 0:52:45drinks a lot of cider.

0:52:45 > 0:52:48Alex, from the first time I set eyes on you,

0:52:48 > 0:52:51I...I knew that we would be together for years.

0:52:51 > 0:52:54You are my rock that holds me together,

0:52:54 > 0:52:56you are the intelligent one of us.

0:52:56 > 0:52:59You tell me what to do and, to be fair,

0:52:59 > 0:53:03I couldn't have it any other way because I need to be told what to do

0:53:03 > 0:53:07otherwise I'd just get lost, but I love you with all my heart, Alex.

0:53:07 > 0:53:09- To Alex and Mark.- Thank you.

0:53:09 > 0:53:13CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:53:13 > 0:53:17But such beautiful words from the groom, now it's the bride's turn.

0:53:17 > 0:53:21I had the most incredible hen night.

0:53:21 > 0:53:25From start to finish, I was blown away.

0:53:25 > 0:53:28- In respect of that, boys...- Oh, no.

0:53:28 > 0:53:34- ..may these gifts blow you away for ever more.- Wey.

0:53:34 > 0:53:37"An afternoon session at Bath Aqua glass making,

0:53:37 > 0:53:41"your very own, very special, very personalised bauble.

0:53:41 > 0:53:43"I hope this gift blows you away."

0:53:43 > 0:53:49With the boys baubles handed back in boxes, it's time to cut the cake.

0:53:49 > 0:53:50Open wide.

0:53:51 > 0:53:55There's been one surprise after another for this bride,

0:53:55 > 0:53:57but here's one that tops them all -

0:53:57 > 0:54:00that old wedding favourite, pig racing.

0:54:00 > 0:54:03CHEERING

0:54:07 > 0:54:08ALEX YELLS

0:54:08 > 0:54:09Cheeky.

0:54:11 > 0:54:14As the evening rolls on and The Wurzels tribute act kicks off,

0:54:16 > 0:54:19the bride and groom take to the floor.

0:54:19 > 0:54:22Sometimes, Alex takes life too seriously.

0:54:22 > 0:54:24She is very controlling of Mark

0:54:24 > 0:54:28because she wants everything just right.

0:54:28 > 0:54:29But this just goes to prove

0:54:29 > 0:54:32that, with Mark's not-quite-so-sure nature,

0:54:32 > 0:54:36he can bring a bit of fun and just break up the whole idea of it's not

0:54:36 > 0:54:40going to be perfect. This is life. It's just fun and haywire and crazy.

0:54:40 > 0:54:42BAND PLAYS

0:54:52 > 0:54:54Did well to even take up the challenge.

0:54:54 > 0:54:57Like, I wouldn't want to go against me.

0:54:58 > 0:55:01I think it's incredible that you even tried to even plan my wedding

0:55:01 > 0:55:03or even choose my dress, and yet you did it all.

0:55:03 > 0:55:05Er, I didn't choose your dress,

0:55:05 > 0:55:08you're wearing a different dress than what I chose.

0:55:12 > 0:55:14You can't be gutted for ever, come on.

0:55:14 > 0:55:19So, after three weeks in control, is Mark happy wearing the trousers?

0:55:19 > 0:55:21Or should that be dungarees?

0:55:21 > 0:55:23I won't let her let me do any planning in the future.

0:55:23 > 0:55:28I think this planning for the last three weeks has done me. It has.

0:55:28 > 0:55:29For a lifetime.

0:55:29 > 0:55:32For a lifetime, but I'm absolutely... I've had a good night.

0:55:32 > 0:55:35Everyone's loving it and this is what you get stressed for,

0:55:35 > 0:55:37for this sort of thing.

0:55:37 > 0:55:39And even Alex has learnt something, too.

0:55:41 > 0:55:43I would never have dreamed, ever,

0:55:43 > 0:55:46that I would be pig racing at my wedding. Ever.

0:55:46 > 0:55:49Ever. Or that my groom would be dressed in dungarees.

0:55:49 > 0:55:50For me, I've probably realised

0:55:50 > 0:55:54that I need to, maybe, let my hair down a bit more.

0:55:54 > 0:55:59Stop. What, now? I'm just getting warmed up.

0:55:59 > 0:56:03Next time, car fanatic Wesley has fast and furious ideas

0:56:03 > 0:56:06for his big day

0:56:06 > 0:56:09but with Beyonce Reena dreaming of an intimate wedding...

0:56:09 > 0:56:11This is going to completely screw this up.

0:56:11 > 0:56:13..what happens when a convoy of cars

0:56:13 > 0:56:16become the star attraction on her big day?

0:56:16 > 0:56:19With the bridesmaids speeding towards a rampage...

0:56:19 > 0:56:20Oh, my God.

0:56:20 > 0:56:22It ain't happening. It ain't happening.

0:56:22 > 0:56:25..do the best men become the driving force?

0:56:25 > 0:56:27Or is this wedding heading for a breakdown?

0:56:27 > 0:56:30- BUS BEEPS HORN Just give us a minute.- Stupid man.
