0:00:02 > 0:00:04- From the depths of the earth... - Oh, God.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07- ..to the crests of the mountains... - My legs have gone weird.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11..these crusading grooms must rise to the challenge.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13£12,000...
0:00:13 > 0:00:14LAUGHTER
0:00:14 > 0:00:16..and just three weeks...
0:00:16 > 0:00:18I love that girl. I love her.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21..to plan a wedding worthy of their betrothed.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Oh, my God. What's he done?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24He just took my dress!
0:00:24 > 0:00:28These fair maidens are bound by contract to be legally wedded...
0:00:28 > 0:00:31- Oh, no. - ..but have no say in their big day.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Is it just going to all be last-minute and just rubbish?
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Oh, I hate it. I need to get out of it.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Can these hapless heroes marshal their armies...
0:00:41 > 0:00:43I love her, but she's a bitch when she's like this.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45..vanquish dragons...
0:00:45 > 0:00:46THEY EXCLAIM
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Do as your future mother-in-law tells you.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51..and conquer all before them?
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Get out of my pub!
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Or will they be...
0:00:55 > 0:00:57SCREAMING
0:00:57 > 0:00:58..defeated?
0:00:58 > 0:01:00I'm not doing it.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Tonight...
0:01:02 > 0:01:08traditional bride-to-be Sophie dreams of a fairytale wedding.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10How beautiful is that scenery?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13It's all about romance.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16I want it to be a nice, colourful, positive, happy day.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22But her wannabe hero groom Alex...
0:01:22 > 0:01:24I want that, and them, and the guns.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27..wants to show his romantic qualities
0:01:27 > 0:01:30by scaring the living daylights out of her.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32THEY SCREAM
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Will he be able to prove that their love can endure the end of days?
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Do I not look like this hero of the day to save my wife?
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Pow-pow.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Or will he get it all dead wrong?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Are you sure it's not a joke?
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Disaster.
0:01:50 > 0:01:58This programme contains strong language
0:02:02 > 0:02:07Lovebirds 26-year-old Alex and 23-year-old Sophie from Wigan
0:02:07 > 0:02:10appreciate the more traditional things in life.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12I'd say our relationship's very 1950s,
0:02:12 > 0:02:14that you're a stay-at-home mum...
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Yeah.- The jobs get done purely by cleaning and dishes and washing.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21The housework and everything's all me, and then you...
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- And I go out and earn the money. That's just how it is.- Yeah.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30And as the man of the house, Alex knows he has it pretty good at home.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- How our life is, living together, is...- Is bob-on.- ..perfect.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Perfect. Definitely.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Cos I get my arse wiped, I can just sit back...
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- Well, we bounce, don't we?- Yeah.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46But without each other, I don't think we'd cope. I know I wouldn't.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51This old-fashioned couple met seven years ago in the old-fashioned way.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54On a sweaty dance floor in Wigan.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I used to be out all the time, being a young lad.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59We've gone out and we're all having a laugh and a joke
0:02:59 > 0:03:01about who can get the nicest and all that.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04And Alex made sure that when it came to finding the right girl,
0:03:04 > 0:03:05he was in pole position.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Strip poles basically overlooking the dance floor,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10so I had a good view of everybody and everything.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13I ended up seeing you when I was sharking for girls and...
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Sharking for girls?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17I just went over to him
0:03:17 > 0:03:20and, like, started dancing round with him and that.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23He ended up whirling me round and snogging my face, didn't you?
0:03:23 > 0:03:24Yeah, it was good.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Ah, yes, the old traditional courting ritual of snogging yer face off.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31And from there, love blossomed.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33It was sloppy, though, wasn't it, our relationship?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Yeah.- It was lovey-dovey, really in love,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39like, saying we loved each other all the time.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41We spent seven days a week with each other.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Six years into their relationship, their son Lincoln was born
0:03:45 > 0:03:47and their new family was complete.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52And now their lives are more about cosy nights in than wild nights out.
0:03:52 > 0:03:58What I enjoy us doing is chilling out on the couch, watching rubbish.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00When Lincoln's tucked up in bed,
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Alex dominates the TV viewing schedule with his great passion.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Zombie films.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09It's not something that I want to watch...
0:04:09 > 0:04:14I would say it is, cos the way certain zombies on Walking Dead
0:04:14 > 0:04:15can be crushed and killed,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18you'll sit there and you'll be like, "What?!"
0:04:18 > 0:04:20It's just I've opened her eyes up to different stuff.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I'll give anything he watches a go,
0:04:22 > 0:04:25but anything I watch, he will not watch.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28While Sophie shows her love by trying Alex's films out,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Alex shows his love by trying her patience.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34I do like tormenting Sophie. I do enjoy it.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38He does, he torments me, pranks me all the time.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Every day, there's something.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Just to get on my nerves or something, or to wind me up,
0:04:44 > 0:04:46or even just to have a laugh, he'll do it.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51And when he's not winding Sophie up or watching zombie films,
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Alex concentrates on his other love.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55Himself.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58I'm always, always trying to better myself.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Not because I love myself, not because it's vain.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- I want to look good for her. I want to look good for you.- Aww!
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- You know that!- Yeah, I know that.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- But you want to look good for you more.- No, it's not, though.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10It's not. It's not!
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- All right, fair enough. Yeah, I'm vain.- You are vain!- OK.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Although Alex likes to look at himself a lot,
0:05:20 > 0:05:26he also likes to be Sophie's heroic protector and shining white knight.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30He's definitely my rock and he gets me through so much.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34I know he'll protect me regardless of anything, as well as our Lincoln.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36He'll do anything for me.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39And they both feel that tying the knot
0:05:39 > 0:05:42is crucial to making their family complete.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44For us, marriage will be marriage.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46It isn't just a thing you do
0:05:46 > 0:05:48because that you're in a relationship for so long.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49It means fighting through anything.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Anything that happens from now on,
0:05:51 > 0:05:54this is it till the day we die, both of us.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58And this bride-to-be knows what she wants
0:05:58 > 0:06:03is an old-fashioned wedding to an old-fashioned dashing hero.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06My perfect wedding would be...
0:06:06 > 0:06:09gorgeous, glam, intimate, blingy.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Definitely blingy.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Sort of a Footballers' Wives wedding type.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Not, obviously, too posh, but just nice and glam.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24And Alex is determined to show his romantic side
0:06:24 > 0:06:26by organising this wedding.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29The purpose behind the wedding is...
0:06:29 > 0:06:32is showing love.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37It's going to be aimed at me looking after her, no matter what.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42So, if the world went tits-up then I can still see myself and her
0:06:42 > 0:06:45always finding a way for the goal to be set
0:06:45 > 0:06:48and family to be solid, no matter what life throws at us.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50So, what kind of wedding does Alex want
0:06:50 > 0:06:53to demonstrate those traditional values?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55What I'm going to do for my wedding
0:06:55 > 0:06:57is a Zombie Apocalypse-themed wedding.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00That's how it's heading. That's what's happening.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01SCREAM
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Did he just say "Zombie Apocalypse"?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08She will crap her pants, and that's what I want.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Ahh! - SHE SCREAMS
0:07:10 > 0:07:11I want that reaction
0:07:11 > 0:07:14so I can be the one to pull her out and save her for the day.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Alex wants to prove to Sophie he'll always be there through thick, thin
0:07:20 > 0:07:24and any potential terrifying attacks from the undead.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Question is, has he bitten off more than he can chew?
0:07:27 > 0:07:28The worst thing that could go wrong
0:07:28 > 0:07:32is for Sophie not to understand why I've done what I've done.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35If she doesn't get that then I've failed completely.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39That won't happen. It won't happen.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Well, it had better not happen.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Because traditional Sophie is desperate for the perfect day
0:07:44 > 0:07:46to complete her perfect family.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49This day means so much to me,
0:07:49 > 0:07:54so if he did mess it up by joking and showing his tormenting side
0:07:54 > 0:07:56and it didn't pull off,
0:07:56 > 0:07:59I would be extremely annoyed and upset with him.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04If he just makes me look like a joke, it will be mortifying for me.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06It will be hard to forgive.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12It's time for the couple to say goodbye.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Ahh! Bye-bye time.- It is.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- Love you.- You, too.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21They will have no contact at all
0:08:21 > 0:08:24until the wedding day three weeks from now.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Going to miss you. - Going to miss you, too.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29INDISTINCT
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Bye-bye, Daddy. Wave bye-bye.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I've so many emotions going through at the minute.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46I don't know where to look, how to feel. I'm a bit numb.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48The next time I see her will be on the wedding day.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54In the lead-up to the big day,
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Alex is renting a bachelor pad on the other side of Wigan.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Lovely!
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Hi!- Hello. Come in.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Back at home,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Alex's mum Chris and maid of honour Olivia have popped round
0:09:08 > 0:09:12to see how Sophie's coping without her hero and protector.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- You've not had a hug yet, have you? - I have had a hug.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Come on. - She's trying to get me to cry, her!
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- You have. I can see it.- I'm not.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- You're trying to be brave.- I'm not trying to be brave. I'm all right.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- Do you think it's going to be good, the wedding?- He'll do a good job.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27But you know what he's like,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29so there's always going to be something.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34- He's so unpredictable, it's a bit scary.- Anything for winding you up.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39- Yeah.- It's out of your control now. There is nothing you can do.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- Nothing.- There's nothing you can do.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- I can't actually believe you're getting married.- Me neither.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52It's the dawn of the dead, AKA day one of wedding planning.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56And to help Alex in his quest to prove he's Sophie's one true hero
0:09:56 > 0:09:58are best men Danny and Luke.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- You all right, lads?- All right? - How's it going? You coming in?- Yeah.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Come in, lads.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Right, come on, let's get started.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08All right, so the theme of the wedding,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11and it's a bit hectic and it is a bit out there,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14but it needs to be a Zombie Apocalypse wedding.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15- Zombies?- Zombie?- Yeah, zombies.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17What, as in you two being zombies?
0:10:17 > 0:10:21As in everybody else being zombies and we're survivors of zombies
0:10:21 > 0:10:22and everyone trying to eat us.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25That's stupid, Alex!
0:10:25 > 0:10:27You do want her to marry you, don't you?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29And are you going to be, like, lying down
0:10:29 > 0:10:32and letting the zombies take you, or are you going to be fighting back?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I'm going to be the man to get her out, save the day, use my Nerf gun,
0:10:35 > 0:10:39"peow-peow", shoot all the zombies and get us out of there.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41So, the boys are on board. Sort of.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Still, their reservations might just help make sure
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Alex doesn't get too carried away.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48If you're going to do zombies,
0:10:48 > 0:10:50you're going to have to do it, like, go the whole hog.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- Yeah.- You can't just do it half-hearted.- No.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- It'll look shit. - Proper make-up and everything.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Yeah. I like the idea of something triggering it,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59so she's got a doubt in her head, what's going on?
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- Like a nuclear bomb...- Yeah. - ..air alarm off to set it off.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06And then set off, like, army official smoke bomb,
0:11:06 > 0:11:08like, the best you can get.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09Set a couple of them off
0:11:09 > 0:11:11so the whole entire air is covered in smoke.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I love the idea of the dress getting attacked.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16I like the idea of her getting attacked
0:11:16 > 0:11:18and me ripping them off her.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20But I want the dress to get messed up.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- She is going to kill you.- Yeah.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26But if she sees the purpose of why I want the zombies
0:11:26 > 0:11:29and she sees the love and affection side of why I've chosen this,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32and I can get that in the wedding, then it'll be perfect.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34All I can say is good luck, lad.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36We'll try and help you as much as possible.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- But,- BLEEP- hell, zombies! - Zombies, lad. That's what I want.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46I think Alex's idea of zombies is absolutely mental.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Yeah, I think he's a little bit nuts.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- I think he's brave. - Yeah, he's very brave.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- I think if he pulls it off, it's going to be amazing, though.- Yeah.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56If he can pull it off. It's a big if.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- That's what we're here to help him with.- It's a very big if.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Totally unaware of her impending apocalypse,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Sophie is with bridesmaids Corinne and Olivia,
0:12:05 > 0:12:09dreaming of her family-focused big day.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11We can be a family unit now.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14It is important to bring our Linc up into a proper family as well.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Need to be a Fowler.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Why do you think it's important to Alex?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Cos I know he does want to be with me for ever.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25As cheesy as that sounds, but I know he does want to be with me.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- Cheese!- It's for life.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29It's for life with Alex and I know that,
0:12:29 > 0:12:33so that's just his way of showing me, really.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39Alex wants to push his idea of being a traditional protector to the limit.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- Oh, yes!- But he has no idea how to put on a zombie apocalypse.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47So, he's come to Sheffield for a zombie experience,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50which might help get his head around the undead.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- I've got a stiffie.- 'What?'
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Get out of the car now!- Oh, my God.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Go to the secure vehicle now! Go!
0:13:01 > 0:13:04SIRENS BLARE
0:13:08 > 0:13:10GUNSHOTS
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Oh, yeah!
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- This is- BLEEP- mint, this.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Oh, yes!
0:13:18 > 0:13:20WEAPONS FIRE
0:13:24 > 0:13:26That was amazing.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28That's what the wedding needs to be, to them standards.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31What's the worst thing Alex could do?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34If he made me look like a joke on my wedding day.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Like, I had to do stupid stuff and it not be a chilled, relaxing day.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42I can accept some stuff, but I don't want him to take it too far.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- Ah, love that. - Alex, that's well good.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- If it means- BLEEP- -all decorations,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57if it means the party afterwards looks crap, I'm not arsed.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59I want that and them.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Having seen what's possible,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Alex has realised that the sky's the limit
0:14:03 > 0:14:06when it comes to his very different wedding theme.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10What excited me the most was how scarily real it was.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I'm sat in the car, thinking, "What is this?!"
0:14:12 > 0:14:15So, if I'M doing that, what's Sophie going to think?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17That is the actions and reactions I'm after.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Despite the fact that the zombie apocalypse is taking over,
0:14:20 > 0:14:22I've still found a way to keep her alive.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28It's midway through week one.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32And in a zombie-free zone, Sophie has brought her bridesmaids
0:14:32 > 0:14:35to Sandhole Oak Barn deep in the Cheshire countryside
0:14:35 > 0:14:39to see the traditional venue she would choose if she was in charge.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- GASPING - Oh, my God!
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Oh, my God!
0:14:46 > 0:14:51How beautiful is that scenery? I want to get married here.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- This is, like, magical, isn't it? - You know what's so nice?
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Listen to that.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00It's quiet, though. There's no cars, there's no noise.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02This place is perfect.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- This is absolutely beautiful. - I know.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08But while Sophie's dreaming of an elegant venue
0:15:08 > 0:15:11fit for her romantic wedding, Alex...
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Well, Alex is somewhere else entirely.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20Newsham Park Hospital, an abandoned psychiatric facility in Liverpool,
0:15:20 > 0:15:24rumoured to be one of the most haunted buildings in Europe.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I didn't know places like this existed.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29And what better place to celebrate the joy of marriage
0:15:29 > 0:15:32than a building with its own morgue?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Sophie wanted quiet.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35Well, this is dead quiet.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42- I'll give you a tenner if you get in.- I've done it before.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Are you going to have a go?- No! - Are you sure?- Yep.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Didn't realise how much of a pussy I was.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Oh, my God.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55They're the original mattresses.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59So, you can have, like, zombies strapped to the bed.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02This is where it has to be amazing afterwards, for her to forgive me,
0:16:02 > 0:16:05cos this is going to scare the shit out of her.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08It's horrible. This is exactly what I need.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Horrible might suit Alex,
0:16:14 > 0:16:17but it's definitely not what Sophie wants.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21I love how they've got the fairy lights,
0:16:21 > 0:16:26but I'd have a lot more colourful flowers to make it more summery.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29There's quite a lot of people sitting on the table.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33I'd like it to be, like, not as many people on the table, me.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36I definitely hope there's chocolate.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38He should know me well enough
0:16:38 > 0:16:42to have, like, a chocolate fountain or little chocolates on the table.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45He'll probably have a protein fountain.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- Protein bar!- Protein bars!
0:16:49 > 0:16:53I want it to be a nice, colourful, positive, happy day.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55If he's thinking outside the box, he could do anything.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58What's the worst thing that he could pick?
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Somewhere that just doesn't look nice, and, like, pretty.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06If it was, like, just an old building.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08An old warehouse or something like that.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10An old warehouse with broken things
0:17:10 > 0:17:13and it looking all dirty and stuff, nothing special.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Like, bright and colourful and clean
0:17:15 > 0:17:18where you can take your wedding dress.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- Yeah.- Not somewhere grotty and dark. - No, I don't want dark.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22It'd best be nice and light.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27So, nice and light.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28Um...
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- What was this for? - THEY SPEAK OVER EACH OTHER
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Eurgh, so there were dead bodies in that?- Yeah.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Still, after trawling around the building,
0:17:36 > 0:17:40the boys have found a spot where the wedding could take place.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41The hospital's old chapel.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46It's got beauty, but it's got the apocalyptic...
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Yeah, it's got the dark halls and all that lot.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50That's what you really want -
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- something like the end of the world.- Yeah.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56As far as, like, this random zombie theme goes,
0:17:56 > 0:18:00this is probably the nicest thing you can find out of it all.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- This has real scary factor. - You got beautiful views.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- For me, for the evening, this is perfect.- I agree.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15I know damn well she's going to flip, her, though.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- But at least she can see how much effort you put in.- Yeah, totally.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- I don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.- I know.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26This is what I want. I want this for my wedding day.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I want to get married here.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32This is absolutely beautiful, but it could be complete the opposite.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I know. It could be.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37If we turn up at some skanky old place
0:18:37 > 0:18:39with no fairy lights and no bling...
0:18:39 > 0:18:42This is the best-case scenario. I want this.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46So, he's got a lot to live up to if he wants to make me happy.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50I don't want it to be a stressful day.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54It should be a day where me and Alex become married
0:18:54 > 0:18:56and we can enjoy it and celebrate it.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Not stressful and anxieties running
0:18:59 > 0:19:02and things going wrong left, right and centre.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05It needs to be relaxing and just peaceful.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10If he knows me and he thinks of me, he'll do a good job.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13And I've just got to believe in that.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21In order to show his love, Alex plans to take his peace-loving bride
0:19:21 > 0:19:24and scare the living daylights out of her.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26It's a no-brainer.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29An absolute no-brainer. I couldn't do any better myself.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32I don't think you're going to find anywhere better than this.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34I know. It's a no-brainer. It's a yeah.
0:19:34 > 0:19:40One haunted, derelict old asylum with added zombies booked.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44All for the grand total of £2,900.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Zombie wedding doesn't get better than this.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Nobody will be able to do a better zombie wedding than me.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Her reaction coming in the car, looking round,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57and there'll be nothing round, and when the zombies attack the car,
0:19:57 > 0:20:01I'll be on the way down there, so I can't wait to see how she reacts
0:20:01 > 0:20:03and how she sees me saving her.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04She'll love it. She'll love it.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06She'll be taken back by how good I've got it.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09HORN TOOTS
0:20:13 > 0:20:15It's the end of week one.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18And with his haunted venue booked,
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Alex and his army of the undead are off on his stag do.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25THEY MOAN
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Let's hope they have a leg to stand on by the end of the night.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- Has it sunk in, in two weeks, that you will be married?- Yeah.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- It's not.- I don't think it has!
0:20:34 > 0:20:37I don't know why I'm saying yeah.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42The boys launch their attack on Newcastle,
0:20:42 > 0:20:46painting the town blood red and slaying it on the dance floor.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49People look at you, think, "Halloween's not till Sunday."
0:20:49 > 0:20:51But there is a purpose behind it.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Once Sophie realises the purpose of why I'm doing what I'm doing
0:20:54 > 0:20:57then she'll totally understand and enjoy it.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Maybe it's the booze, but after a lovely night
0:21:00 > 0:21:02spent as flesh-eating monsters,
0:21:02 > 0:21:07the best men are starting to see the romantic side of Alex's idea.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11It's quite sweet, the sentiment that he is going for. It's really sweet.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12It's just whether Sophie
0:21:12 > 0:21:15can cut through all the bullshit and see it or not.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Enjoying his night, loving it,
0:21:19 > 0:21:22having a good night and then I think tomorrow, it's going to all kick in,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24like, shit, I've got two weeks left to do all this.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27I think we've got to kick our own arses into gear after tomorrow.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34It's the day after the stag
0:21:34 > 0:21:37and the living dead have arisen.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38The best men have a special surprise
0:21:38 > 0:21:41to give Alex a taste of his own medicine.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43His greatest fear.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47We've come here to do a helicopter ride,
0:21:47 > 0:21:51cos we thought it would be funny to put Alex out of his comfort zone,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53cos he doesn't like flying.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I'd have to be unconscious to be put on one of them.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Alex might be a big, brave hero, but right now...
0:22:02 > 0:22:04he's bottled it.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08I don't think you and Luke understood how bad I am with it.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11I would never push Sophie to do something she's scared of....
0:22:11 > 0:22:13terrified of.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Sophie doesn't have a phobia of zombies.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19She's scared of them, but it's an actual phobia,
0:22:19 > 0:22:21and a phobia is something that I'm terrified of.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24See, right, there's an old lady getting off.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25She's, what, 80-odd
0:22:25 > 0:22:28and she's got a big pair of balls that I don't have.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36I'm not going to go into detail with my close friends
0:22:36 > 0:22:38about how bad of a phobia that I am
0:22:38 > 0:22:41with spiders and planes and flying and all that lot.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43The only person that knows what I'm like is Sophie,
0:22:43 > 0:22:47cos she's the one that has to wear the pants when it comes to flying.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48And facing his own fears
0:22:48 > 0:22:52has made Alex realise how much he needs and misses Sophie.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56I can't talk to her about planning our wedding.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58It's completely left in my hands.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01It's horrible not getting any contact from her.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04I know there's a goal and I know there's a purpose for me doing it,
0:23:04 > 0:23:07but it's ten times harder than I ever thought it would have been,
0:23:07 > 0:23:09having no contact with either of them.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14It's the beginning of week two.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17And back in Wigan, Sophie is missing her hero.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Bridesmaid Olivia has popped round to cheer her up.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- It is getting stressful, definitely. - Just waiting.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Just waiting to find out if there's something going to happen or not.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31And I guess it's just, like... He's trying for Alex, just for...
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- unload everything off to.- Yeah.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36I can try, but...
0:23:48 > 0:23:51It's soft, though. It's just cos he's not here. That's all.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53It's just hard.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58- You need to cry. You have got emotions.- Yeah.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02You're not just this tough cookie you keep making out, you know?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- I miss him loads. - He'd better do you good.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09He'd better make you smile at some point in this three weeks. Christ!
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Oh, God, he'd best do. He does, though. He will do.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14He'll do a good job.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Well, it depends what you mean by a good job.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19But Alex is beginning to realise that his idea of romance
0:24:19 > 0:24:22might not be the same as his bride.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26I can't believe I'm going to do this for my wedding day.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28I know she'll enjoy it, but the two things,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31the dress getting blood on and our Lincoln not being there,
0:24:31 > 0:24:34are, hands down, the worst possible things I could do to her.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37So, I really, really, really need to make up for it.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41So, he has a plan to prove how much he loves his bride-to-be.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44100%, having two venues.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48So, when she gets to the venue after and sees how stunning I can get it,
0:24:48 > 0:24:51and the first thing she sees is our Lincoln...
0:24:51 > 0:24:55If I plan that right and hit that with the nail right on the head
0:24:55 > 0:24:59then everything beforehand will be forgiven, no matter what I do.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05From here on in, it's all about Sophie.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Call him Mini-Me!
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Job one - give her the perfect hen do.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13And what's more perfect than a blow-up replica of himself?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15This is not embarrassing at all, this.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22DOORBELL RINGS, KNOCKING
0:25:22 > 0:25:23DOG BARKS
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Oh, my God! What the hell is this?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31SHE LAUGHS
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Oh, look at him!
0:25:34 > 0:25:36What a legend.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Come on!
0:25:40 > 0:25:44- We've been waiting two weeks for this.- Oh, that's so brilliant.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Is that it?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Calm down.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50I just want to...
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Rrrrrgh!
0:25:53 > 0:25:55To Sophie, Olivia and Corinne.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Your hen do will be Saturday 16th.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01You will need to be out of the house by 6.30am!
0:26:01 > 0:26:06Take with you travel clothes, scruffy clothes and a bathing suit.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Love, Alex.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09There's no heels.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- SHE GASPS - What has he got planned?
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Well, what he's got planned is this.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22An assault course. Every bride's dream.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- She's a bag of nerves... - I feel a bit sick.- I'm just excited.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29At least they'll be fit enough
0:26:29 > 0:26:32to run away from those zombies on the wedding day.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- Jump! - SHE SCREAMS
0:26:34 > 0:26:36SCREAMING
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- Come on! That's it! - Keep going. Keep going.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45SHE SHOUTS TRIUMPHANTLY
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- WHISTLE - Yes!
0:26:47 > 0:26:50That was ace, that. I love that. Proper good.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53And if she thought that were proper good,
0:26:53 > 0:26:55things are about to get even better.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Alex has also booked the girls into a five-star spa.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- You are joking?- What?
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Aww!
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- Upsets me, seeing... - Look at this day.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08I don't feel like I even deserve this all.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15From start to finish, I've loved every single minute of it.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17It's been amazing.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21It's just proves that, like,
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Alex knows me better than what I know myself.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29I feel positive towards the fact that he's planning the wedding
0:27:29 > 0:27:33and that maybe it will be good, because he's done a better job
0:27:33 > 0:27:36than what I could plan for my own hen do.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41So, I've got every faith in him that he'll do good at the wedding.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44With just eight days to go,
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Alex is still on the hunt for a blingy, beautiful reception venue
0:27:48 > 0:27:52that he hopes will make up for his zombie ceremony.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55This is set out not far off how I want it.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58It's the right level of bling.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Even the chandeliers and lighting, if you look up...
0:28:01 > 0:28:05It's clearly the perfect reception venue for Alex.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09But there's one little thing that he's forgotten to ask.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- Are you available on the 23rd? - Not on the 23rd.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Ohh!
0:28:15 > 0:28:19- Could have asked that first, couldn't we?- Yeah!
0:28:21 > 0:28:22Gutted.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25With his apocalyptic doomsday looming large
0:28:25 > 0:28:29and still no reception venue, it could be game over for this hero.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34And if that wasn't enough,
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Alex is about to make his most important purchase.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Sophie's dress.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Except, he needs two.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44One for the all-important zombie attack
0:28:44 > 0:28:49and a second to change into after the first ends up wrecked.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Because I'm buying two dresses, I need to get...
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Money's tight, so for me to get the same one twice...
0:28:55 > 0:28:58it needs to be the right price, doesn't it?
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Are they all relatively priced the same,
0:29:02 > 0:29:05or are there some really dear compared to others?
0:29:05 > 0:29:11They range from about 500 to about 1,700, something like that.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- 500 ones. I love them ones.- Yeah.
0:29:14 > 0:29:19Meanwhile, Sophie, the bridesmaids and Alex's mum have come to Bolton
0:29:19 > 0:29:21to find the dress she would choose.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23This is going to be so difficult.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26I'm very picky with dresses. Very picky.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29That's not nice. I don't like that one.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32My wedding dress will be the most important dress
0:29:32 > 0:29:36I'll ever wear in my life, so he needs to get it right!
0:29:36 > 0:29:39The problem with twice as many dresses
0:29:39 > 0:29:41is, of course, twice the cost.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43So, it's time to look for a bargain.
0:29:43 > 0:29:44What's the price of that one?
0:29:46 > 0:29:47- 1,400 quid.- Let's put you away!
0:29:47 > 0:29:50- Whoa.- What's that one?
0:29:50 > 0:29:54- That's not right.- 200 quid? - Keep hold of that.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58- What you doing?- I'm taking these. Can we try these on, please?
0:29:58 > 0:30:00The boys are happy with
0:30:00 > 0:30:03the first couple of cheaper dresses they've seen
0:30:03 > 0:30:06but back in Bolton, Sophie is proving a little more picky.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08No.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10LAUGHTER
0:30:14 > 0:30:18Basically, there's not enough bling on this for me.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22It's not a corset one where it can suck me in better.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26This makes me look wider.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28And it's just not the dress that I want.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30What if Alex picks a disaster dress, like thinks,
0:30:30 > 0:30:34"That's a nice dress, I'll get her that" and it fits like this?
0:30:34 > 0:30:35I will not be happy.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39That's not great news because Alex and Danny are looking at
0:30:39 > 0:30:42a wide, shapeless, non-blingy dress.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44That was the first one you picked, wasn't it?
0:30:44 > 0:30:45- Yeah, definitely a keeper. - Stunning.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48What's there not to like? What...
0:30:48 > 0:30:50I can't imagine any women not liking that.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52And it's cheap!
0:30:52 > 0:30:54So, while Alex's first pick is
0:30:54 > 0:30:58a plain, princess-style, A-line dress from the sale rail,
0:30:58 > 0:30:59back with the girls...
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- What do you think?- No way!- Oh!
0:31:04 > 0:31:06- ALL:- Aww!
0:31:06 > 0:31:09It's stunning, that, isn't it?
0:31:09 > 0:31:10- It's beautiful.- I love it!
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Oh, my God! I absolutely love this dress!
0:31:16 > 0:31:22- It could be the complete opposite... - Oh, God, no. I don't want it to...
0:31:22 > 0:31:24I want it to be this one.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27I'll be mortified if it's nothing like this.
0:31:30 > 0:31:31I've fell in love with this dress.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37Oh, I don't like seeing you upset.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40I love this dress, I want this dress that bad.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48And there is a high chance I'm not going to get one like this, am I?
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Can Alex get it right with his second choice for Sophie?
0:31:55 > 0:31:58That's stunning. That's Sophie all over, there.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00I think if I open the doors
0:32:00 > 0:32:03and say, "Look, there's your second dress..."
0:32:03 > 0:32:05She'll love it, yeah.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07So, basically, the first two dresses, I'm happy with.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10- That was pretty easy, that.- It was easy, that, wasn't it?
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Instant winner, chicken dinner.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Oh, dear. So, our knight in shining armour
0:32:15 > 0:32:18has gone for a second corseted princess dress
0:32:18 > 0:32:20with only a touch more bling.
0:32:20 > 0:32:25It could just be doomsday for our damsel in this dress.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27We can do them both for 800, OK,
0:32:27 > 0:32:31with the veils and tiara thrown in. How does that sound?
0:32:31 > 0:32:36- Both dresses and veils and the tiara for 800 quid?- For everything?
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- Everything.- Boom! Sold! Sold!
0:32:39 > 0:32:43So, with two dresses bought for a bargain £800,
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Alex and Danny can celebrate.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49I stand 100% confident that she'll love both of them.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52There's no way there'll be any doubt that she will be thinking,
0:32:52 > 0:32:56"He's done a bad job," not one slight... I've no doubt at all.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- I've done well. I'm happy. - We've done well.- I know.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Alex is happy.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02But will Sophie be?
0:33:02 > 0:33:06As long as he doesn't just pick the first dress that he sees
0:33:06 > 0:33:11and he puts thought into it, then that's all he can do, really.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14But if it's like a dress that just doesn't fit my figure,
0:33:14 > 0:33:18I'll be heartbroke, I'll be genuinely heartbroke
0:33:18 > 0:33:21if it's not one...something that I like.
0:33:22 > 0:33:27Over in Wigan, Alex is at a dead end in his hunt for a reception venue
0:33:27 > 0:33:29to take the edge off his zombie apocalypse.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32They're all laughing, basically, when I'm on the phone to them
0:33:32 > 0:33:35because it's just too short notice, so any venue,
0:33:35 > 0:33:39ANY venue at the minute now is looking...
0:33:39 > 0:33:41I am desperate at the minute now.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45It's really, really to keep picking myself up and keep trying.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52It's the final week. With the time running out and loads still to do,
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Alex is dead up against it.
0:33:54 > 0:33:59He's off shopping, to make sure his wedding doesn't end in a bloodbath.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01I've got to get the invites sorted,
0:34:01 > 0:34:03I have to let her know that it's this Saturday,
0:34:03 > 0:34:07bridesmaids' dresses, transport, flowers...
0:34:07 > 0:34:11The venue is not sorted yet, but it will be sorted by today, hopefully.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20Well, at least he's got his zombie props sorted.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- Is it not buy one get one free? - And flowers.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26- Whatever the cheapest is, we'll have.- Yeah.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Oh, and bridesmaids dresses. - I'll take all three.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34With Alex looking dead on his feet trying to find a second venue,
0:34:34 > 0:34:36he may have just got lucky.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39He gets a call from one of the last available venues in Wigan,
0:34:39 > 0:34:44a restaurant in Standish which has a luxury blingy tent.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Looks amazing, doesn't it?
0:34:46 > 0:34:50- Just needs to be more fairy lights, more bling.- Yeah. I mean,
0:34:50 > 0:34:54behind all these backdrops, there's fairy lights behind them all.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57At night-time... So these are LED up-down lighters,
0:34:57 > 0:34:59so we can change the colours.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01This marquee is your marquee for that night.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05- If you want to do whatever you want, that's fine by me.- Love that.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08With the second venue booked for £2,800,
0:35:08 > 0:35:11this hero may have saved the day.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13I think once she sees how stunning it is inside
0:35:13 > 0:35:16and what can be done to it, yeah, it is a maker-upper.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Yeah, I think when she gets here,
0:35:18 > 0:35:21she'll be made up when she sees this.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24I've got a day, I've got a day to work to.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28With two venues booked and a registry office for the legal ceremony,
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Alex can let the guests and Sophie know the date of the wedding.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34I'm doing all these amazing things on certain days
0:35:34 > 0:35:35and I can't just go,
0:35:35 > 0:35:38I've done this and I'm doing this for us,
0:35:38 > 0:35:42and she looks after me and keeps my head straight.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46It is surprising to think that she protects me
0:35:46 > 0:35:50just as much as I protect her, in different ways.
0:35:50 > 0:35:55And his protector is about to learn the date of her wedding.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Oh, my God!
0:36:00 > 0:36:03I'm getting married on the 23rd?
0:36:03 > 0:36:07What a way to do it, though, really, to put the date on my shoes.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09At least I know now.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12The little monkey! Honestly!
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Shit, am I wearing these on my wedding day, though, really?
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Surely I won't be wearing these on my wedding day,
0:36:20 > 0:36:24this is just like a nice little...treat?
0:36:25 > 0:36:30Oh, my God! What is he playing at? Really, what is this about?
0:36:32 > 0:36:35I just hope to God I'm not running around on my wedding day,
0:36:35 > 0:36:37like running around and doing stuff.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41I just can't get my head around why I've got trainers, though.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45MUSIC: Thriller by Michael Jackson
0:36:45 > 0:36:49Well, she won't really be running AROUND.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Strictly speaking, she'll be running AWAY.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59And Alex is back in Liverpool with a bunch of recruits
0:36:59 > 0:37:02who will be what she's running away from.
0:37:02 > 0:37:07SCREAMING AND SNARLING
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Do me, that.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Obviously, the coach driver, he's not going to have a clue,
0:37:16 > 0:37:18he'll just be dropping them off, so just pull them off,
0:37:18 > 0:37:21walk them through and as you're walking them through
0:37:21 > 0:37:23getting them in, just full-on attack them.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26From the coach, where do we then go...?
0:37:26 > 0:37:28What we'll do is bring them in through the steel doors
0:37:28 > 0:37:29and put them in the lock-up room.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Do you not have a couple of zombies in the rooms,
0:37:31 > 0:37:34just hidden in the dark in the rooms that they're in?
0:37:34 > 0:37:36So, like, just before you bring them out...
0:37:36 > 0:37:37Strapped in, chained up, making noises.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40SHE HISSES
0:37:45 > 0:37:49It's the day before the wedding and Sophie is finally going to see
0:37:49 > 0:37:52the most important dress she'll ever wear.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55I am very nervous right now, about to see my dress,
0:37:55 > 0:37:59what I'm going to be wearing tomorrow, so I am very nervous.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01I've got to make sure I look and feel good on the day.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04If I don't, it will be disastrous.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- OK, Sophie, shall we have a look at the dress?- Yes.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08Right, big moment here.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Whoo!
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Oh, I hope he's done all right. Oh, gosh.
0:38:19 > 0:38:20Oh, my God.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24Sophie dreamed of a sparkling, fishtail, strapless dress.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27She is about to see Alex's choice -
0:38:27 > 0:38:32the first dress he saw, which he plans to have ruined by zombies.
0:38:32 > 0:38:33As you do.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Oh, no!
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Oh, my God. I don't know what to say.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- Is this the actual dress?- Yes.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54- So it will be this one that I'm having?- Yes.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- SIGHING:- Oh, my God.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- Do you want a drink of water? - Yeah, I need a drink.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02I'm like dead flustered here right now.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04I don't like it.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08- It's all right, listen. Just try it on.- Come on.
0:39:08 > 0:39:13You're bigger than this. Come on, drink that, come on.
0:39:13 > 0:39:18- You're bigger than this. Come on. Sophie, please.- Is it that bad?
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Right, I'll try it on.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36He's taking the mick.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38I want to swear my head off right now.
0:39:38 > 0:39:43- Are you sure he's... That's the one? That is 100% the one?- Yes, yes.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47- He's gone through and picked that? - Hold your posture different.
0:39:47 > 0:39:52- No, no, it's this dress, it's minging.- Yeah, I know it is.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55No offence, no offence, it's just not me. This dress is not me.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58I know... I can't believe he's picked that. I am shocked.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00- Can I see a bloody mirror, please? - Of course.
0:40:00 > 0:40:06- You sure it's not a joke?- Oh, no, I don't like it.- It's horrible.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09I just don't know what's possessed him.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Maybe it was the zombies.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14It makes me look dead big here, and wide.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16This bit doesn't even fit me properly.
0:40:16 > 0:40:22I look flumpy, I look dead... I look a whale in my dress.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Can you just see what it will be like when you pull it in?
0:40:26 > 0:40:28It's how it goes up here,
0:40:28 > 0:40:31it's like maybe a pregnant woman should wear it.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34- Oh, lovely. I look like a frigging pregnant woman.- No! I didn't...
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Stop taking things the wrong way. I didn't say that!
0:40:47 > 0:40:48It's just disaster.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54There is no way I can wear this dress.
0:40:54 > 0:40:55Their reaction has said it all.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57I can't wear this dress.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Get on t'phone to him, please, and tell him
0:41:00 > 0:41:03- that you've got to do something about it.- He'll have to.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05So, with Sophie hating her dress,
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Olivia puts a desperate call into Alex.
0:41:08 > 0:41:13Alex, she really doesn't like her dress. It... It just doesn't...
0:41:13 > 0:41:14do anything for her.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20- You all right?- Yeah, I don't know what to say, though.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Is there anything we can do?
0:41:22 > 0:41:25No, there's no money for anything else, it's gone.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Well, can she not swap the dress
0:41:27 > 0:41:30for something for the same price or something?
0:41:30 > 0:41:32It's only a cheap dress,
0:41:32 > 0:41:36so you will struggle to find one to match that price.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40- Really?- Yeah.- You've got nothing to put to it?- Nothing.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42£2.24, I think I've got.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Right, well, I'll see what we can do,
0:41:44 > 0:41:47but if we can change it, you're happy with that?
0:41:47 > 0:41:50- Yeah, but it has to be at the same price.- Right. All right.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52- All right, bye.- Speak to you soon.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58I have got a second dress, it's better,
0:41:58 > 0:42:01so she probably won't mind me getting blood on it!
0:42:01 > 0:42:05It gives me a bit of relief, then, if she hates her dress anyway.
0:42:05 > 0:42:10I've been on the phone to him. He were dead quiet.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13I said what about change it for something a similar price
0:42:13 > 0:42:17and he said...if the shop will have something that cheap in.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Right, so it's a cheap dress. I knew it would be.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Well, let's just not rule anything out, yeah?
0:42:24 > 0:42:26With the revelation that Alex chose
0:42:26 > 0:42:29one of the cheapest dresses in the shop,
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Sophie must now find a dress in the same price range,
0:42:32 > 0:42:35but there's not much to choose from.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Have they been worn before?
0:42:37 > 0:42:39They're ex-sample dresses that were in the shop,
0:42:39 > 0:42:42that we've discontinued and moved upstairs.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45For God's sake, I'm going to kill him. I'm going to...
0:42:56 > 0:43:00- That is miles better.- Much. Beautiful.- Miles better.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Better than that one. Definitely. Turn around.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06That's more you, that shows your... That's you.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08No, that is lovely. I like that.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17Yeah, miles better. He's an idiot.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21- You're still marrying him, though, aren't you?- Yeah, of course I am.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24Amazingly, Sophie has found a dress she loves,
0:43:24 > 0:43:28but Alex's choice has rocked her confidence in his ability
0:43:28 > 0:43:30to pull off the perfect wedding.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33I just thought he'd nail my dress and he did not
0:43:33 > 0:43:35and I was so disappointed.
0:43:35 > 0:43:38But I just hope he pulls it off tomorrow.
0:43:38 > 0:43:39I hope he does.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50It's the day of the living dead.
0:43:50 > 0:43:54And while Alex is busy playing with guns and raising the undead...
0:43:54 > 0:43:58Do I not look like the hero of the day, to save my wife?
0:43:58 > 0:44:00Pow, pow!
0:44:00 > 0:44:03..over at Sophie's house, she's about to see
0:44:03 > 0:44:07her first surprise of the day - Alex's bridesmaids' dresses.
0:44:07 > 0:44:11Oh, I like them! Oh, I love them, they're really nice!
0:44:11 > 0:44:17- Do you not like it?- Sophie... - What? What's wrong with it?
0:44:17 > 0:44:20Do you not like them? Really?
0:44:20 > 0:44:24- Oh, no! She's going to cry! - Are you all right?- Yeah.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27Are you going to wear them?
0:44:29 > 0:44:31They're just not very flattering, are they?
0:44:31 > 0:44:34I think they look really nice. I'm made up he's picked them.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37I know you're not, but I love them, they're really nice.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39As long as you love them.
0:44:39 > 0:44:41You look stunning, both of you. You look gorgeous.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46While Sophie's day starts serenely...
0:44:46 > 0:44:49- It's gorgeous.- Are you sure?
0:44:49 > 0:44:53- You look absolutely beautiful, Soph.- I love it.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56..over in Liverpool, her guests are about to get
0:44:56 > 0:44:59their first BITE of the wedding day ahead.
0:44:59 > 0:45:02- SIREN WAILS - Yeah, bitches!
0:45:02 > 0:45:04THEY LAUGH
0:45:04 > 0:45:08- Shit!- Oh, I told you I didn't like stuff like this. It's a Swat team.
0:45:08 > 0:45:10- Oh, I don't like...- Oh, my God!
0:45:10 > 0:45:14SCREAMING
0:45:16 > 0:45:19Why would you get married here? Why would you do this?
0:45:19 > 0:45:20Why would you get married here?
0:45:23 > 0:45:25Ladies and gentlemen, your attention please.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27You are about to enter an infected zone.
0:45:27 > 0:45:31My colleagues are going to escort you off one by one.
0:45:40 > 0:45:42Stop talking!
0:45:43 > 0:45:46Hold it there, gentlemen. Stand apart.
0:45:50 > 0:45:52Check him for bites as well.
0:46:02 > 0:46:06Come forward. Come on. Secure the perimeter.
0:46:06 > 0:46:10SCREAMING, SHOUTING AND GUNFIRE
0:46:32 > 0:46:37Everybody inside! This way! Keep moving!
0:46:37 > 0:46:40Everybody keep moving! Infected! Move!
0:46:44 > 0:46:47SCREAMING
0:47:05 > 0:47:07Sophie is going to kill him.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11Every little girl dreams of a big princess wedding
0:47:11 > 0:47:13and this is not it!
0:47:13 > 0:47:16So far, it's going exactly to plan, really.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18Everybody is scared out of their wits and excited.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21- And blaming Alex instead of us, so...- Yeah, blaming Alex.
0:47:21 > 0:47:25- That's good, yeah.- It's ideal.- Just an average day for zombie killers.
0:47:25 > 0:47:29I can't wait to get up there and get married. Do you know what I mean?
0:47:29 > 0:47:32I can't wait. You know, once she knows all the effort
0:47:32 > 0:47:35that's been put into it... She'll love it.
0:47:35 > 0:47:39With the guests in place, Sophie is still blissfully unaware
0:47:39 > 0:47:43of the impending apocalyptic bloodbath wedding Alex has planned.
0:47:43 > 0:47:48Not a Miss for much longer. Nearly a Mrs!
0:47:48 > 0:47:50Yay!
0:47:50 > 0:47:53Mrs Sophie Fowler.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56This looks nice. Are we here?
0:48:00 > 0:48:02What? It's not going to be that rundown building?
0:48:02 > 0:48:06- Oh, my gosh! What is that?- We're not here?
0:48:09 > 0:48:12- Got business here?- Yeah, I hope so.
0:48:12 > 0:48:15- OK, we're going to go in there. - What?
0:48:15 > 0:48:17Oh, my God!
0:48:20 > 0:48:23I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill him.
0:48:23 > 0:48:28It's got a sticker on the front door that says hospital.
0:48:28 > 0:48:31- Oh, Sophie, I can't do this!- And he's pretending to be a sheriff.
0:48:31 > 0:48:32This building just freaks me out.
0:48:32 > 0:48:35I'm shaking, Sophie, I'm absolutely...
0:48:35 > 0:48:37Listen, we'll stick together, we'll be fine.
0:48:37 > 0:48:40- Just don't leave each other. - I need to go to the toilet first
0:48:40 > 0:48:42- because I'm going to end up pissing myself.- I'm going to wet myself.
0:48:42 > 0:48:45We've had kids. I am literally going to wet myself.
0:48:45 > 0:48:48- Where?- There's someone here opening the gates.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50- Where?- Opening the gates.
0:48:50 > 0:48:52Oh, my God!
0:48:55 > 0:48:57It's all right.
0:48:57 > 0:48:58We'll be OK.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02Oh, my God!
0:49:05 > 0:49:08Oh, my God!
0:49:08 > 0:49:11THEY SCREAM
0:49:11 > 0:49:13They're zombies!
0:49:13 > 0:49:16Zombies! Oh, no! I don't like it!

0:50:39 > 0:50:42Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today
0:50:42 > 0:50:45under these extreme and unnatural conditions
0:50:45 > 0:50:50to bear witness to Alex and Sophie coming together in holy matrimony.
0:50:50 > 0:50:56Firstly, I'll hand over to Alex and Soph to express a few words. Alex?
0:50:56 > 0:50:58This three weeks has been a nightmare,
0:50:58 > 0:51:02but it's a walk in the park compared to what we've been through,
0:51:02 > 0:51:05so I couldn't be more happy to have you as my wife.
0:51:05 > 0:51:09Oh, bless you! Oh, babe!
0:51:09 > 0:51:12It has been really hard, this past three weeks without you,
0:51:12 > 0:51:14I'm not going to lie and I'm never, ever
0:51:14 > 0:51:16having three weeks away from you again. Definitely not.
0:51:16 > 0:51:21- OK, Alex, if you'd like to place the ring on Sophie's finger.- That one?
0:51:21 > 0:51:22Yeah, that's the right one.
0:51:22 > 0:51:24Fit, fit, fit, fit, fit!
0:51:24 > 0:51:26Push it on! There you go.
0:51:28 > 0:51:31Yay!
0:51:31 > 0:51:33May you have enough happiness to keep you sweet,
0:51:33 > 0:51:35enough trials to keep you strong,
0:51:35 > 0:51:38enough sorrow to keep you human,
0:51:38 > 0:51:39enough hope to keep you happy.
0:51:39 > 0:51:41May all your ups and downs be between the sheets
0:51:41 > 0:51:44- and remember... - LAUGHTER
0:51:44 > 0:51:47- Remember, Alex, happy wife, happy life.- Yeah.
0:51:47 > 0:51:49You may now kiss the bride.
0:51:49 > 0:51:52APPLAUSE
0:51:53 > 0:51:55Mrs Fowler!
0:51:55 > 0:51:57CHEERING

0:52:22 > 0:52:24And with all hell breaking loose,
0:52:24 > 0:52:27it's now up to Sophie to save the day.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33I didn't want him here!
0:52:35 > 0:52:36Oh, my God!
0:52:42 > 0:52:45It's a lot different to what I expected it to be.
0:52:45 > 0:52:47I was expecting it to be a normal bloody wedding
0:52:47 > 0:52:52and he's thought outside the box and it wasn't a proper wedding, so...
0:52:52 > 0:52:55- Well, what do you think about it? Was it all right?- I've loved it.
0:52:55 > 0:52:57It has been fun. And that you're my hero.
0:52:57 > 0:53:02- Yes! I saved the day! - You saved my day! He saved me!
0:53:05 > 0:53:09After her encounter with the walking dead,
0:53:09 > 0:53:12Sophie is now off to her reception venue
0:53:12 > 0:53:15where the family can be reunited in safety.
0:53:20 > 0:53:24Oh! Hello!
0:53:27 > 0:53:30Oh, my God! How cute does our baby look?!
0:53:31 > 0:53:33- Hiya!- Hi!
0:53:34 > 0:53:36Oh, babe.
0:53:37 > 0:53:38Are you all right?
0:53:46 > 0:53:51This venue is amazing. You've done so well!
0:53:51 > 0:53:53Have you seen t'cake?
0:53:53 > 0:53:56Oh, my God!
0:53:56 > 0:54:01- I love that!- Isn't it funny? - That is class!
0:54:01 > 0:54:06And Alex has one more surprise up his very tight sleeve.
0:54:07 > 0:54:12- There's another wedding dress. - Yay!
0:54:12 > 0:54:15Oh, my God!
0:54:15 > 0:54:19- Alex, that's beautiful, that. - Is it?- Yeah.
0:54:19 > 0:54:22Thank God I do not have to wear this dress all day now.
0:54:24 > 0:54:26APPLAUSE
0:54:26 > 0:54:28Hi!
0:54:35 > 0:54:39Just somebody reassure me, there is no more zombies now, is there?
0:54:39 > 0:54:43This is Alex we're talking about. You're never safe with Alex.
0:54:43 > 0:54:47When you see this venue, you forget about everything else, don't you?
0:54:47 > 0:54:48She's had the perfect day
0:54:48 > 0:54:51and Alex has done brilliant. It couldn't be better.
0:54:51 > 0:54:54Today has gone not only to plan,
0:54:54 > 0:54:56but better than we ever could have hoped.
0:54:56 > 0:54:58- Yeah?- Yeah, definitely.
0:55:01 > 0:55:06I have never seen Alex as passionate as he's been throughout this and...
0:55:07 > 0:55:11It just... The love that he has for Sophie just radiates from him.
0:55:14 > 0:55:17I've loved every single minute of it.
0:55:17 > 0:55:20I've not actually not enjoyed one bit. It's been amazing.
0:55:20 > 0:55:24- Absolutely amazing. He is my hero.- Oh, you see?
0:55:25 > 0:55:29Her reaction on seeing her first, that was the best part of my day.
0:55:29 > 0:55:32I'm going to take this whole three...this whole experience
0:55:32 > 0:55:35- as a life-changing experience. - Yeah.
0:55:37 > 0:55:40That I can't cope without you is the biggest lesson learned about myself.
0:55:40 > 0:55:44- Yeah. I think we need each other, don't we?- Totally.
0:55:47 > 0:55:51Next time, David and his twin brother best man
0:55:51 > 0:55:55- plan a dance extravaganza for full-time mum Kelly.- Good boy.
0:55:55 > 0:55:58But can these terrible twins...
0:55:58 > 0:56:00The first thing you want to do is think big.
0:56:00 > 0:56:03..create a welcome surprise...
0:56:03 > 0:56:07- I love it!- ..and drum up something spectacular?
0:56:07 > 0:56:11- I don't want a whole big show.- Or will the show fall flat on its face?
0:56:11 > 0:56:17- It might look lovely.- Oh, that's horrible.- Oh, she's crying again!
