-From the depths of the Earth...

-Oh, God.

0:00:020:00:03

-..to the crests of the mountains...

-My legs have gone weird.

0:00:030:00:06

..these crusading grooms must rise to the challenge...

0:00:060:00:11

I love that girl. I love her.

0:00:110:00:13

..to plan a wedding worthy of their betrothed.

0:00:130:00:16

-Oh, my God.

-What's he done?

0:00:160:00:18

He just chucked my dress.

0:00:180:00:19

These fair maidens are bound by contract to be legally wedded...

0:00:190:00:23

God, no.

0:00:230:00:24

..but have no say in their big day.

0:00:240:00:26

Is it just going to all be last minute and just rubbish?

0:00:260:00:29

Oh, I hate it. I need to get out of it.

0:00:290:00:32

Can these hapless heroes marshal their armies..

0:00:320:00:35

I love her but she's a bitch when she's like this.

0:00:350:00:38

..vanquish dragons...

0:00:380:00:40

Oh, God!

0:00:400:00:41

Do as your future mother-in-law tells you.

0:00:410:00:43

..and conquer all before them...

0:00:430:00:46

Get out of my pub!

0:00:460:00:48

..or will they be defeated?

0:00:480:00:53

I'm not doing it.

0:00:530:00:55

Tonight, survivalist groom Tom...

0:00:550:00:58

If you get hungry, you can eat them

0:00:580:01:00

but you must never eat other berries.

0:01:000:01:02

..puts his skills to the test

0:01:020:01:05

to plan an ambitious survival-themed wedding...

0:01:050:01:08

I need camouflage netting,

0:01:080:01:09

stuff like that to make it look like the apocalypse.

0:01:090:01:12

..on a beautiful remote Scottish island.

0:01:120:01:14

Look at that.

0:01:140:01:15

While his more traditional bride-to-be Sue...

0:01:170:01:20

I'm panicking now because I'm thinking, "What am I going to get?"

0:01:200:01:24

Wow.

0:01:240:01:25

..dreams of a big day in a stately home.

0:01:250:01:27

I could just cry because I want this so bad.

0:01:270:01:29

-He's planning to get back to nature...

-Bloody lovely!

0:01:290:01:32

..with a rugged woodland ceremony.

0:01:320:01:34

It's awesome. It is awesome.

0:01:340:01:36

-Can this outdoorsy groom...

-Wargh!

0:01:360:01:39

..pull off the wedding of a lifetime...

0:01:390:01:41

Oh, my God! What are they?

0:01:410:01:44

..or will his wild dreams...

0:01:440:01:45

I'm freezing!

0:01:450:01:46

..end in a nightmare?

0:01:460:01:48

She's probably thinking, "Oh, my God, what's he done?"

0:01:480:01:50

He takes us to a forest in a big puffy dress

0:01:500:01:53

in the freezing cold in the middle of October.

0:01:530:01:56

That's Dad's head.

0:02:090:02:11

Whee!

0:02:110:02:13

Is Dad silly?

0:02:130:02:14

Stockton-on-Tees couple Tom and Sue slipped into each other's lives

0:02:140:02:19

at an engagement party 11 years ago.

0:02:190:02:22

Like that! Yeah!

0:02:220:02:24

Saw this lovely-looking girl and I thought to myself, "Phwoar!"

0:02:240:02:27

-And I went over and I started chatting to you, didn't I?

-Yeah.

0:02:270:02:29

And I showed off a little bit about my car.

0:02:290:02:32

You made it out to be you had this really posh, exciting, brand-new car

0:02:320:02:36

that had been ordered all the way from Italy.

0:02:360:02:38

It was a Fiat Cinquecento. It was half a car. A little car.

0:02:380:02:42

But Tom's little car set them on the road to a big future.

0:02:420:02:46

The minute I set eyes on her, I just knew she was for me

0:02:460:02:49

and every day I love you more and I didn't even think it was possible.

0:02:490:02:53

He's very caring and he would do anything for anybody.

0:02:530:02:56

-You are good.

-Thanks.

-I do love you.

0:02:560:02:59

Now, love birds Sue and Tom even work together, running their own business.

0:02:590:03:03

-That's 9.95, please.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you very much.

0:03:030:03:06

It was Sue's hobby and we turned it into an arts and crafts business.

0:03:060:03:09

Enjoy. If you get stuck, give us a shout.

0:03:090:03:12

Cheers.

0:03:120:03:13

But if Tom's job was influenced by his fiancee's hobby,

0:03:130:03:17

his own hobby is much manlier.

0:03:170:03:19

Tom is a survivalist.

0:03:190:03:22

It's a little survival tin.

0:03:220:03:23

You get a candle and a saw, and there's a compass,

0:03:230:03:26

some wire so you can catch rabbits with snares and stuff.

0:03:260:03:30

-Tom!

-It'll be fine. It'll be fine.

-No, don't!

0:03:300:03:32

Right, no! Tom!

0:03:320:03:34

Tom's got this huge idea

0:03:340:03:37

that there's going to be some kind of problem

0:03:370:03:39

and he's going to need to survive so he has survival stuff everywhere.

0:03:390:03:42

How cool is that?

0:03:420:03:43

So Tom's prepared for whatever life might throw at him,

0:03:430:03:46

especially since the birth of daughter Holly.

0:03:460:03:48

Holly's birth was really, really difficult.

0:03:480:03:51

She was stuck inside Sue for 50 hours.

0:03:510:03:53

When they resuscitated her, I heard her cry,

0:03:530:03:56

all my emotions came out in one go and I burst out into tears.

0:03:560:03:59

It changed me on a core level.

0:04:000:04:02

I think that's a lot of the reasons I'm into all this survival

0:04:020:04:06

because I know that, if anything ever went wrong,

0:04:060:04:09

I know that I could look after her.

0:04:090:04:11

Oh, careful.

0:04:110:04:12

And she could get food to eat and she'd be warm and safe.

0:04:120:04:15

Yes.

0:04:150:04:16

Tom knows he can provide safety

0:04:160:04:17

but there is one thing he hasn't been able to provide until now.

0:04:170:04:22

Every time we try to get married, something crops up.

0:04:220:04:25

Holly come along,

0:04:250:04:27

so it's sort of like one thing after another.

0:04:270:04:30

Marriage is absolutely everything to me now

0:04:300:04:32

because I've grown up with my mam and dad always being together

0:04:320:04:35

until my mam died.

0:04:350:04:37

It was really stable and that's what I want for Holly.

0:04:370:04:40

THEY SING

0:04:400:04:41

We've got a home, we've got a baby, we've got a great family.

0:04:410:04:45

That is the only piece that is missing.

0:04:450:04:47

Last piece of the jigsaw, isn't it?

0:04:470:04:48

Having waited so long for her wedding,

0:04:480:04:51

traditional girl Sue knows exactly what she wants.

0:04:510:04:54

So this is my mam and dad when they got married.

0:04:540:04:56

I think there, I think that's Nana's mam and dad.

0:04:560:04:59

Lived in the same road all my life.

0:04:590:05:01

Got to be near my family, got to be traditional.

0:05:010:05:05

Just something elegant, lovely. All of our close friends

0:05:050:05:08

and family there, everybody that's been there for us, to be there.

0:05:080:05:11

But for ten years, Tom's dreamed of a wedding that is less storybook

0:05:110:05:15

and more SAS handbook.

0:05:150:05:17

It's going to be an adventure.

0:05:170:05:19

We'll sort of put me skills to the test

0:05:190:05:21

as well as allowing me to organise an amazing wedding.

0:05:210:05:25

We just want them to have a lovely wedding but knowing Thomas,

0:05:250:05:28

I haven't got a clue what he's going to do.

0:05:280:05:30

He could do anything. He's a loose cannon.

0:05:300:05:32

That goes over your head.

0:05:320:05:33

The wedding, to me, is metaphorical,

0:05:330:05:35

and that's that we've survived a lot.

0:05:350:05:37

And then that goes on there like that.

0:05:370:05:39

And I think she will get that.

0:05:390:05:41

At least, I hope she will.

0:05:410:05:44

Give me a kiss.

0:05:450:05:47

Sometimes I wonder why but I don't.

0:05:470:05:49

You'd think, by now, he knows what I like,

0:05:490:05:51

-what I don't like, what I hate.

-The pressure is unbelievable.

0:05:510:05:55

So the pressure is on Tom now to...

0:05:550:05:56

Honestly, if I get this wrong, I am...

0:05:560:05:59

She won't admit it but I am dead in the water.

0:05:590:06:01

-No, I'd make you regret it.

-I've no doubt in my mind!

0:06:010:06:05

It's time for the couple to say goodbye.

0:06:070:06:09

-Give me kisses.

-Yeah, give Dad kisses.

0:06:090:06:12

On hand are their nearest and dearest.

0:06:120:06:14

Baby Holly, two of Sue's bridesmaids and Tom's mum Frida.

0:06:140:06:18

-Bye!

-Bye-bye.

0:06:180:06:19

He is just an absolute darling and I feel like she is a daughter

0:06:190:06:23

to us, I don't look upon her as a daughter-in-law.

0:06:230:06:27

-Be strong, because you will set me off.

-I love you so much.

0:06:270:06:31

-Just look after yourself.

-I'll be fine. I'll be fine.

0:06:310:06:35

-We will survive this, man.

-Don't forget to brush your teeth.

0:06:350:06:39

-Give Daddy a kiss.

-Love you.

0:06:390:06:40

Bye-bye, Holly, bye-bye, love you. Bye-bye!

0:06:400:06:44

Tom and Sue plan to have no contact

0:06:440:06:47

until their wedding day in three weeks' time.

0:06:470:06:50

The first time you have been apart.

0:06:520:06:54

I'll be all right, they will be all right as well. I'm hard.

0:06:570:07:00

MUSIC: Walk On The Wild Side by Lou Reed

0:07:000:07:01

# Hey babe Take a walk on the wild side. #

0:07:010:07:03

Armed with all the wedding planning essentials,

0:07:030:07:06

Tom will be staying with best man, Derek.

0:07:060:07:08

Now then. All right, mate?

0:07:090:07:11

Tom and Derek are old friends and workmates

0:07:110:07:13

and while Tom is an action man type, Derek is a little more cautious.

0:07:130:07:18

My head is going in a million different places

0:07:180:07:20

-and Derek will be the voice of reason.

-What is it all about?

0:07:200:07:23

-It's going to be survival-themed.

-Right.

0:07:230:07:26

-It's going to bloody kill us but I'm going to have them camping...

-Right.

0:07:260:07:29

-..in tepees.

-OK, hey, yeah.

0:07:290:07:32

We are going to have the wedding, hopefully, all going well,

0:07:320:07:37

on an island off an island on the west coast of Scotland.

0:07:370:07:42

My dad lived on Erraid which is the island I really want to go for.

0:07:420:07:46

Pretty close to Scotland but it is a long way into Scotland.

0:07:460:07:50

It is about ten hours altogether.

0:07:500:07:52

I can see a few problems.

0:07:520:07:54

I think the big one is actually just getting guests up to the wedding.

0:07:540:07:57

Camping in October on a remote Scottish island won't be easy.

0:07:570:08:02

I think that sounds really, really, erm...

0:08:020:08:04

THEY LAUGH

0:08:040:08:07

-It is really, really...

-Really...

0:08:070:08:10

THEY LAUGH

0:08:100:08:11

Demonstrating his commitment to his survivalist theme, Tom is shunning

0:08:130:08:17

creature comforts and camping out in the wilds

0:08:170:08:20

of Derek's back garden.

0:08:200:08:22

I used to do it when I was eight, camp in the back garden,

0:08:220:08:25

but not since then. I definitely prefer it in the warm.

0:08:250:08:27

And it is not just the great outdoors that is worrying Derek.

0:08:270:08:31

It is just the distance.

0:08:310:08:33

Could be tricky but hopefully, hopefully people will want to come.

0:08:330:08:36

The next day...

0:08:400:08:41

Morning.

0:08:430:08:44

And thankfully, Tom has survived his first night under canvas

0:08:440:08:47

but the realities of being away from his family are already hitting home.

0:08:470:08:52

Missed Sue and missed Holly a lot.

0:08:520:08:55

I didn't get to sleep for a while because I kept turning

0:08:550:08:58

the torch on and looking at the photograph.

0:08:580:09:00

Still, this is no time for sentiment.

0:09:020:09:05

Road trip. Road trip!

0:09:050:09:07

It's time to head off and plan a whole wedding outdoors.

0:09:090:09:13

Ten hours away in Scotland on a remote Scottish island

0:09:130:09:16

off another Scottish island.

0:09:160:09:18

Erraid is just off the island of Mull,

0:09:200:09:23

and Tom and Derek will need to catch a ferry there tomorrow morning.

0:09:230:09:27

The boys have spent the night out in the Scottish wild

0:09:270:09:30

but they seem to be missing a few survival essentials.

0:09:300:09:33

Forgot the tin opener so I'm going to have to use a knife.

0:09:330:09:36

Get your proper tin opener out.

0:09:360:09:38

I thought you were going to use your teeth!

0:09:380:09:40

Tom might be a little unprepared but he's a survivor

0:09:400:09:43

and he is prepared to be unprepared.

0:09:430:09:45

We checked and there wasn't enough tent pegs and so we had

0:09:450:09:48

to improvise and the tent pegs are made out of a tree that I found

0:09:480:09:51

over there and I got me little knife and I whittled it down

0:09:510:09:54

-and I am proud of that.

-HE LAUGHS

0:09:540:09:56

She'll not have any, any idea that we are here now.

0:09:560:10:00

HE CHUCKLES

0:10:000:10:01

Back in civilisation, Sue is out with two of her bridesmaids

0:10:060:10:10

and all thoughts are on a more elegant day.

0:10:100:10:12

George Clooney has just been married.

0:10:120:10:15

You know, more like a big celeb wedding.

0:10:150:10:17

It says the dress she is just wearing there was £1,125

0:10:170:10:21

and that is not even her wedding dress.

0:10:210:10:24

I bet you'll get like a £10 dress.

0:10:240:10:26

I'll probably get a dress from Primark.

0:10:260:10:29

I don't know what you're laughing at,

0:10:290:10:31

your dresses will be from the market or something. Half price.

0:10:310:10:34

That's if you are wearing dresses.

0:10:340:10:35

Do you think I will have a big bash like he does?

0:10:350:10:38

The other day, my cousin came up and he was like, "You do know that

0:10:380:10:41

"Tom's going to have something like a stupid Star Wars

0:10:410:10:43

"or a Star Trek-themed wedding."

0:10:430:10:45

I was like, "No, everyone stop saying this to me!"

0:10:450:10:47

-I dread to think what he is going to have.

-I know.

0:10:490:10:52

I've just tried not to think.

0:10:520:10:54

No, I wouldn't want to.

0:10:540:10:55

If I don't think, then I can't panic.

0:10:550:10:58

I wouldn't worry, Sue,

0:10:580:10:59

he's not planning a futurist wedding on a different planet...

0:10:590:11:02

More back in time to a different world.

0:11:020:11:05

Our wedding planners have reached the ferry to the Scottish island

0:11:070:11:10

of Mull, but it's soon clear that distance isn't the only tricky thing

0:11:100:11:14

about Tom's survivalist wedding.

0:11:140:11:16

I know my dad used to always say, "Oh, Mull, it's horrendous weather.

0:11:160:11:20

"Sometimes it is beautiful, sometimes it is horrible."

0:11:200:11:22

I just hope, hope, hope we get it on a beautiful day.

0:11:220:11:26

I am really starting to worry now. What have I got myself into, mate?

0:11:260:11:30

Right over there, started over there but hopefully, it is...

0:11:300:11:33

-It's just that changeability, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:11:330:11:35

MUSIC: Did You Hear The Rain by George Ezra

0:11:350:11:37

# Oh, did you hear the rain?

0:11:370:11:39

# Oh, the rain. #

0:11:390:11:42

As the boys drive across Mull, it becomes clear that the biggest

0:11:420:11:45

risk to his remote wedding plans could be the weather.

0:11:450:11:49

I think it has been absolutely pouring it down, mate.

0:11:490:11:52

Trust me to pick bloody Mull in late autumn.

0:11:520:11:55

After a long journey, they are finally within a stone's throw

0:11:560:12:00

of the tiny, remote and currently very wet island of Erraid.

0:12:000:12:04

They've got sheep out there, is that sheep I can see on the side?

0:12:040:12:07

They've got a few sheep, yeah, and on the right-hand side, there's the

0:12:070:12:10

boat shed, that's where I want to have the party, in that boat shed.

0:12:100:12:14

It brings back memories, mate, it's flooding back.

0:12:140:12:17

It would be awesome if they say you can do it there, wouldn't it?

0:12:170:12:20

But the weather may not be the only issue with getting married on Erraid.

0:12:200:12:23

It's privately-owned so Tom needs special permission.

0:12:230:12:27

Hello, it's Tom, is it possible to speak to Julia, please?

0:12:270:12:29

His decade-long dream relies entirely on this phone call.

0:12:290:12:33

Hi, Julia, what are the chances that we can get married on your island?

0:12:330:12:38

So, too short a notice?

0:12:410:12:42

Right, a year, eh?

0:12:440:12:46

I have had my heart set on it for ten years, you see.

0:12:460:12:49

I could just never afford it.

0:12:490:12:51

I could land on the back of your island

0:12:530:12:55

and you'd never have to see me.

0:12:550:12:57

We'd go to your high point, we'd have a little ceremony

0:12:570:13:00

with ten people and then shoot off somewhere else and have a party.

0:13:000:13:03

And you could all come.

0:13:030:13:05

It is just absolutely devastating.

0:13:080:13:10

I'm going to pass you on to my best man

0:13:130:13:15

cos I'm getting a little bit emotional. Here he is.

0:13:150:13:18

He's, er, he can't cope.

0:13:210:13:23

Three weeks isn't enough notice.

0:13:260:13:28

And just like that, Tom's island wedding dream sinks without a trace.

0:13:280:13:32

TOM SIGHS AND CRIES

0:13:330:13:35

He's been focusing on it for ten years.

0:13:380:13:40

He's going to want to find something different, quickly now, I think.

0:13:400:13:44

Just hope he can move on.

0:13:440:13:45

I'm tired and I'm emotional and I'm stressed.

0:13:470:13:50

I just want it to be perfect for her, do you know what I mean?

0:13:510:13:55

Got my heart set on that so much as well, mate.

0:13:550:13:57

Imagine if we were going to have it on a day like this

0:13:590:14:01

-but a bit more sun, do you know what I mean?

-Yeah.

0:14:010:14:03

Not as much wind, just beautiful.

0:14:030:14:05

The next morning, after another night under canvas,

0:14:090:14:12

Tom has a whole new outlook.

0:14:120:14:14

I think I just built it up in my head for a number of years.

0:14:140:14:18

"Oh, yeah, I'm getting married on Erraid." But when I think about it,

0:14:180:14:21

it's not really that important, the island.

0:14:210:14:25

In fact, I don't think it is important at all.

0:14:250:14:27

What I think is important is getting married in a beautiful place

0:14:270:14:30

with the person that I love and Mull is one of the most beautiful

0:14:300:14:35

places on earth. It is just amazing.

0:14:350:14:38

Tom has decided to hold the big day on the Isle of Mull,

0:14:430:14:46

but before our wedding planners head off to find somewhere suitable...

0:14:460:14:49

I'll have a wash in the tree, I think.

0:14:490:14:51

..Tom needs to survive his early-morning shower.

0:14:510:14:54

I get naked and I rub myself in the leaves and shake all the trees

0:14:540:14:58

so all the water falls on us.

0:14:580:14:59

I mean it's pouring down anyway so should be good fun.

0:14:590:15:03

TOM LAUGHS

0:15:030:15:05

MUSIC: Oxford Comma by Vampire Weekend

0:15:050:15:07

What's it like in there, Tom?

0:15:090:15:10

-Bloody lovely.

-HE CHUCKLES

0:15:100:15:13

Cold!

0:15:130:15:14

So, the Scottish island wedding is back on,

0:15:240:15:27

but down in Stockton, sticking close to home,

0:15:270:15:30

Sue is with Tom's mum Frida and family friend Joan, showing them

0:15:300:15:34

where she would get married if she was in charge.

0:15:340:15:36

-Wow, Holly, look at this.

-Look at this, Holly, isn't it beautiful?

0:15:360:15:40

A local stately home.

0:15:400:15:43

This is just perfect and there are so many memories here as well.

0:15:430:15:47

There's memories of me being younger

0:15:470:15:49

and with, like, all my nieces and nephews

0:15:490:15:51

and then when I met Tom and we were always at Preston Park.

0:15:510:15:54

It is a beautiful place, it really is.

0:15:540:15:56

Oh, God.

0:15:580:15:59

But Tom's wedding plans are a world today. Well, 300 miles away

0:15:590:16:02

and a lot less sheltered.

0:16:020:16:05

Set on having his survivalist wedding on Mull,

0:16:050:16:07

he is on the hunt for a suitable location.

0:16:070:16:10

I mean, look. Look at that.

0:16:100:16:12

And he's just found a rugged stretch of beach.

0:16:120:16:15

First impressions of this place, mate?

0:16:150:16:17

It is a breathtaking scenery, without a doubt.

0:16:170:16:19

I think it is absolutely unbelievable.

0:16:190:16:21

-If we can have the party in that building over there...

-Yeah.

0:16:240:16:28

..it'd be brilliant to have the ceremony in the middle of there,

0:16:280:16:31

but it would depend on the weather. I mean, sure, we could do something.

0:16:310:16:34

I'm just really concerned about how exposed it is.

0:16:340:16:37

That is the one worry that I've got, is how exposed it is.

0:16:370:16:41

At the stately home, Sue is getting cosy

0:16:410:16:44

and thinking of a weatherproof wedding.

0:16:440:16:46

This is really comfortable. It doesn't matter what it would be

0:16:460:16:49

doing outside, if it'd be snowing, raining.

0:16:490:16:52

As long as you were in here, you wouldn't have a care.

0:16:520:16:55

It is really cosy, isn't it?

0:16:550:16:57

And it is warm, I don't know, I think if it was raining, it would

0:16:570:17:00

make it more cosy, anyway, wouldn't it? Yeah.

0:17:000:17:03

Raining outside but you are nice

0:17:030:17:05

and warm inside and enjoying yourself.

0:17:050:17:07

I love it.

0:17:080:17:10

Up on the rugged coast of Scotland,

0:17:100:17:12

Tom's survivalist wedding is coming to life.

0:17:120:17:15

If we had it in there, mate, we could really make it look survival.

0:17:150:17:19

We could put like, erm, camouflage netting on it

0:17:190:17:22

and stuff or maybe up the sides, hang it on the front

0:17:220:17:25

and have the insides all camo-ed inside.

0:17:250:17:28

And all oil drums as barbecues.

0:17:280:17:32

-It is a bit slopey all around it, that is the thing, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:17:320:17:35

-But as long as you've got somewhere to sleep...

-Yeah.

0:17:350:17:38

..something to drink, food in your belly, good company, music

0:17:380:17:43

and you're warm and you're with your friends in a beautiful place

0:17:430:17:46

like this, does it really matter,

0:17:460:17:48

the niggledy-piggledies here and there?

0:17:480:17:50

It does a bit.

0:17:500:17:51

For bride-to-be Sue, a wedding is all about the niggledy-piggledy bits.

0:17:510:17:56

I would love, like, a prawn cocktail starter,

0:17:560:17:58

then beef and vegetables dinner

0:17:580:18:00

and then, like, profiteroles for your dessert.

0:18:000:18:04

I'd love it to have all the traditional round tables

0:18:040:18:07

with the white cloths over.

0:18:070:18:09

There's just so much detail in everything, isn't there?

0:18:090:18:13

Wow.

0:18:130:18:14

The boys have found the beach-side campsite for the guest accommodation.

0:18:140:18:18

But are still on the hunt for the perfect wedding venue.

0:18:180:18:21

-Hello, I'm getting married.

-Yes?

0:18:210:18:23

So they have come to a nearby farm set in acres of picturesque woodland.

0:18:230:18:26

MUSIC: Wild Wood by Paul Weller

0:18:260:18:28

# ...Of the wild wild wood. #

0:18:280:18:30

I love the idea of putting up the family in giant tepees...

0:18:300:18:34

-Right.

-..in the campsite so they will stay the first night,

0:18:340:18:37

we will feed them and then the next day, me and Sue will get married.

0:18:370:18:42

What I'm after, it sounds a bit mad, doesn't it?

0:18:420:18:45

-It does, very, very mad.

-OK.

0:18:450:18:47

-I'm after a survival-themed wedding cos I am into survival.

-Right, OK.

0:18:470:18:51

-It's got to look the part...

-All right.

0:18:510:18:53

..so if it's anywhere that I get, I want to try and dress it up

0:18:530:18:56

-with camouflage netting...

-That's no problem.

0:18:560:18:58

-..and tables made out of big wire spools.

-Fantastic.

0:18:580:19:02

If I show you round here...

0:19:020:19:03

Out the back of the farm,

0:19:030:19:05

Tom is falling in love with the outdoors all over again.

0:19:050:19:08

This is amazing. I love it,

0:19:080:19:09

it's took my breath away, actually, it really has.

0:19:090:19:11

I mean, if you get a beautiful day and you are lucky

0:19:110:19:14

and the weather is fantastic, then it's all going to be open air.

0:19:140:19:18

If the skies open,

0:19:180:19:20

then the exhibition building behind you is literally a backup.

0:19:200:19:24

It's a sensible option and one that appeals to practical best man Derek.

0:19:240:19:28

But it is not exactly Tom's outdoor dream.

0:19:280:19:31

I know it's not the sort of place you are looking for,

0:19:310:19:33

-but an indoor option is...

-It's beautiful but it doesn't say

0:19:330:19:36

survival, but maybe the outdoor bit in the woods might.

0:19:360:19:38

You need somewhere to think of as an inside option,

0:19:380:19:41

just in case it is absolutely tanking it down.

0:19:410:19:43

And you don't want Sue there, bedraggled, soaked through,

0:19:430:19:46

with flowers dropping out of her hair, do you?

0:19:460:19:49

If it's raining outside, you're going to be in here, nice and warm.

0:19:490:19:53

-This is just everything I want.

-Do you know what it is? It's so you.

0:19:530:19:57

I love it. I absolutely love it. I'm really worried now.

0:19:570:20:01

I could just cry because I want this so bad.

0:20:010:20:03

Does he really know what I want?

0:20:030:20:05

Sue's stately home dream has even made Tom's mother,

0:20:050:20:08

-Frida, anxious.

-I've known for years, Sue has always said

0:20:080:20:11

she wanted to get married here, hasn't she? I'm really anxious.

0:20:110:20:15

Part of us is thinking, it's my son, I know he'll pull it off,

0:20:150:20:19

but the other part of us is saying,

0:20:190:20:21

it's my son and I know what he's like.

0:20:210:20:23

Oh, look at the little fairy stairs.

0:20:230:20:25

Can you imagine bringing Holly up here, though?

0:20:250:20:28

Take her up and... This is brilliant. This reminds us...

0:20:280:20:33

It sounds really stupid, but it reminds us of

0:20:330:20:35

Lord Of The Rings or something, doesn't it?

0:20:350:20:37

It's like, it's awesome. It is awesome.

0:20:370:20:41

And what could be more awesome than a Hobbit-style bridal suite

0:20:410:20:44

made from wreckage and driftwood perched at the end of civilisation?

0:20:440:20:49

This is unbelievable. Look at the boat!

0:20:490:20:54

I'm gobsmacked.

0:20:540:20:56

I'm speechless. I really am. I'm speechless.

0:20:560:20:59

-Smell of a wood stove as well.

-That's right.

-You're not kidding.

0:20:590:21:02

I could live in a place like this.

0:21:020:21:04

This is Sue, this is Sue, this really is Sue. I like it.

0:21:040:21:08

I don't want to go to the other places. I like it.

0:21:080:21:10

Decision made.

0:21:120:21:13

Traditional bride, Sue, faces a Scottish woodland wedding,

0:21:130:21:16

then a nippy night in a secluded beach hut. Luxury.

0:21:160:21:21

Well, at least compared to the guests,

0:21:210:21:23

who'll be sleeping in tepees on the beach in October.

0:21:230:21:26

You couldn't get more isolated than this place if you tried.

0:21:270:21:32

We're literally as far away from civilisation as you can get.

0:21:320:21:37

This is the perfect castaway place, isn't it? Really.

0:21:370:21:40

Tom forks out on the first major purchase of his £14,000 budget.

0:21:400:21:44

£2,380 for the entire venue.

0:21:440:21:47

Thanks, very, very, very, very much.

0:21:470:21:49

Which includes the woodland glade for the wedding ceremony,

0:21:490:21:53

an indoor function room in case of bad weather

0:21:530:21:55

and the Hobbit-y hut as a cosy bridal suite for the wedding night.

0:21:550:21:59

So, survival style wedding it is.

0:21:590:22:02

Next day, by ship and by road,

0:22:050:22:07

the boys take the long road back to Stockton and Tom's garden retreat.

0:22:070:22:12

It looks like someone else could have used a few of Tom's survival tips.

0:22:120:22:16

Ah! Poor little thing. I'm sure he'll get eaten by something.

0:22:160:22:22

But Tom barely has time to settle in when Sue desperately needs to

0:22:220:22:26

-get in touch with him.

-That's for Tom.

0:22:260:22:28

Tell him to keep calm and stop stressing.

0:22:280:22:31

-Tell him everything is going to be fine.

-I will.

0:22:310:22:34

She's got some huge life-changing news, but the bride and groom

0:22:340:22:38

aren't allowed any contact, so Tom's mum, Frida, will act as go-between.

0:22:380:22:42

I think he's going to be shocked.

0:22:420:22:44

I think all the emotions he's going through at the moment,

0:22:440:22:47

I suppose it's hard to say.

0:22:470:22:48

But I think he's going to probably cry.

0:22:500:22:52

-Can I have a word with you?

-What? What's up?

0:22:540:22:57

Right, don't panic. Read that.

0:22:570:23:00

To my amazing fiance, Tom.

0:23:020:23:05

I hope you're well, although I know you will be stressed

0:23:050:23:09

and stropping, yes.

0:23:090:23:10

She's pregnant again.

0:23:230:23:25

Congratulations, son. Don't cry.

0:23:250:23:29

-I'm not going to cry.

-Congratulations.

0:23:290:23:31

You're going to have a baby sister or brother.

0:23:310:23:34

I hope it's an easy birth.

0:23:340:23:35

Jesus! I hope she's going to be all right.

0:23:350:23:38

It's great news, but also scary after the complicated birth

0:23:380:23:42

of the couple's first daughter, Holly.

0:23:420:23:44

Will he be crying? Will he be happy? Will he be sad?

0:23:440:23:47

Oh, no!

0:23:510:23:52

I don't think anybody expected me to have a second child. No way.

0:23:570:24:01

I'm absolutely speechless, to be totally honest with you. I'm, erm...

0:24:020:24:06

I need a pint, I think. I need a pint.

0:24:080:24:11

I think I'm going to go and have a pint.

0:24:110:24:13

So much for, like, mad ideas for her hen night.

0:24:130:24:16

We'll have to do something sensible, I think. Damn!

0:24:180:24:21

I was going to get her with that one.

0:24:210:24:24

In need of a good night's sleep, survivalist, Tom,

0:24:240:24:26

has caved in and dismantled his garden tent.

0:24:260:24:30

With the responsibility of a growing family,

0:24:300:24:32

as well as planning a wedding, Tom needs to be on top form.

0:24:320:24:36

I didn't really want to, but I spent the night in a bed last night

0:24:360:24:39

and it was the most comfortable bed I've ever had in the world

0:24:390:24:43

and I feel much better today.

0:24:430:24:45

I still feel a bit under the weather, but I'm hard.

0:24:450:24:49

He is hard and he's got a wedding to plan for a pregnant bride.

0:24:490:24:52

So, he's off to the survival shop.

0:24:540:24:56

I'm after buying some bits for my wedding

0:24:580:25:01

and I need mess tins, plates, that type of thing.

0:25:010:25:05

-They are like £7 for two.

-To cater for 50.

0:25:050:25:08

I don't want to have exactly the same,

0:25:080:25:10

I want to like mix them with some plates...

0:25:100:25:13

Yeah, I mean, we've got these old-fashioned military issue ones.

0:25:130:25:17

They're brilliant. I need camo netting, as well.

0:25:170:25:19

That comes to £390.

0:25:190:25:22

Brilliant! Thank you very, very much.

0:25:220:25:25

Determined to make the most of his budget,

0:25:250:25:28

Tom's making savings turning pallets into outdoor seating.

0:25:280:25:32

Now I've bought the wrong sized nails here,

0:25:350:25:38

so what I'll do is I'll angle grind them off.

0:25:380:25:40

It's a manly tool. In fact, I'll do it now.

0:25:400:25:42

Isn't it just?

0:25:420:25:44

But when it comes down to it, even a hardened survivalist like Tom

0:25:450:25:48

is a big softie on the inside.

0:25:480:25:51

-That's a lovely little locket, that.

-If you got it engraved...

0:25:510:25:54

The reason I'm doing it is Sue's mam passed away - me bride.

0:25:540:25:58

So I'm going to put a picture of her mam in one side

0:25:580:26:00

-and her mam and dad in the other.

-That's nice.

0:26:000:26:03

So at least her mam will be watching over her.

0:26:030:26:05

-Will you do us a deal on it?

-We will do you a deal.

0:26:050:26:08

-Instead of 42 you can have it for 35.

-Deal, thank you.

0:26:080:26:11

I appreciate that. Cheers. You're gonna make a girl very happy.

0:26:110:26:14

Tom's survivalist wedding is starting to take shape.

0:26:140:26:18

So midway through week two of wedding planning,

0:26:180:26:21

it's time to get his survivalist hairstyle into shape too.

0:26:210:26:24

I normally have a bald head anyway.

0:26:240:26:27

It's just I've been so busy, over the last few weeks,

0:26:270:26:30

I just haven't had a chance

0:26:300:26:33

and I'm too tight to go and pay like 15 quid for a hair cut.

0:26:330:26:36

Tom's gone for a budget-boosting Army buzz cut

0:26:360:26:39

because things are about to get serious

0:26:390:26:41

with his toughest challenge yet.

0:26:410:26:43

Buying Sue's wedding dress.

0:26:430:26:45

How far will his survival instincts take him now?

0:26:450:26:49

You know what you're getting then?

0:26:490:26:51

I haven't got a clue. I know nowt about dresses!

0:26:510:26:53

-It's got to be white, though, I know that.

-It's got to be white.

0:26:530:26:56

-I might change my mind when I get in, like.

-Yeah.

0:26:560:26:58

-Hiya.

-Nice to meet you.

0:26:580:26:59

I'm after a wedding dress for my bride-to-be

0:26:590:27:02

and I haven't got a clue, basically!

0:27:020:27:05

-Right, is she curvaceous?

-She's pregnant again.

0:27:050:27:08

Whether she likes bling, or doesn't, or whether she likes lace...

0:27:080:27:11

-I mean, I don't want it to look like a pair of net curtains.

-Yeah.

0:27:110:27:14

-Although it would save me budget.

-THEY LAUGH

0:27:140:27:17

Out of the three I like that one.

0:27:170:27:20

Sue has no say in her wedding dress

0:27:200:27:22

but she's with Tom's mum Frida and family friend, Joan,

0:27:220:27:25

fantasising about what she would choose if she were in charge.

0:27:250:27:30

So I want something that's going to, like, maybe be fitted

0:27:300:27:32

and hide my waist but then puff out a little bit

0:27:320:27:35

but not like a big meringue.

0:27:350:27:37

So not like a big meringue!

0:27:370:27:39

I like the detail on that.

0:27:420:27:44

-That's nice.

-Yeah.

0:27:440:27:45

I like the way it goes out at the side.

0:27:450:27:48

Can you do a Bruce Forsyth, give us a twirl?

0:27:500:27:53

Unaware of how Sue's body shape may be changing now she's pregnant,

0:27:530:27:56

Tom's looking at dresses which offer little support.

0:27:560:27:59

It looks really nice, actually.

0:27:590:28:01

-We're worried about your breasts.

-Yeah, they're growing at the minute.

0:28:010:28:04

So it's just all ridiculous.

0:28:040:28:06

I think I'd feel comfortable in something like that.

0:28:060:28:09

-What we'll do is we'll try a strapless one, as well.

-Yeah.

0:28:090:28:12

And then try this and see how you feel,

0:28:120:28:13

-see which you feel more comfortable in.

-Yeah.

0:28:130:28:15

-Oh, God.

-Oh, my... I keeping putting my hand...

0:28:170:28:20

I love this one and I love the bling

0:28:200:28:22

but it's...quite tight around my stomach

0:28:220:28:24

and you can see a bump.

0:28:240:28:25

Finding a wedding when pregnant has its challenges.

0:28:250:28:30

-You can see it.

-It has got a bit of a bump on that one.

0:28:300:28:33

It's my boobs, isn't it? They're growing.

0:28:330:28:36

-Can you imagine if he picked one that...

-I'd be devastated.

-Yeah.

0:28:360:28:40

She's got big boobs

0:28:400:28:42

so will it not make her look like she's hanging out?

0:28:420:28:44

It depends if she wants to cover them,

0:28:440:28:47

or you could always put a piece across.

0:28:470:28:49

I don't think she'll want to cover them

0:28:490:28:51

but she'll not want to look like...

0:28:510:28:53

You are the best to judge.

0:28:530:28:54

Oh, God. No pressure!

0:28:540:28:57

-Screwed then, Tom.

-Oh, God!

0:28:570:28:59

-Oh, my God!

-Oh!

0:29:010:29:03

My God, Sue, that's beautiful.

0:29:040:29:09

She's finally found a dress she loves.

0:29:090:29:12

I love it. I feel so happy.

0:29:120:29:14

I feel so confident in this dress

0:29:140:29:16

and now I'm getting really, really excited.

0:29:160:29:18

Look at this...

0:29:180:29:20

Meanwhile the boys are seeing double.

0:29:200:29:22

-Two at once is too much.

-THEY CHUCKLE

0:29:220:29:25

I really like that, actually, because it's really elegant

0:29:250:29:27

-and really nice.

-Elegance is good for a wedding dress I would say.

0:29:270:29:31

That's a good emotion to have when looking at one.

0:29:310:29:34

Jeez, what am I gonna do?

0:29:340:29:36

So the decision is between one strapless dress

0:29:360:29:39

and another strapless dress.

0:29:390:29:41

How will he survive?

0:29:410:29:43

TOM SIGHS

0:29:430:29:45

What if Tom gets it wrong?

0:29:450:29:48

What are you gonna do? What would you do?

0:29:480:29:51

Would you still wear it?

0:29:510:29:52

I'd have to wear it because he's chose it

0:29:520:29:54

and it's what he thought.

0:29:540:29:56

Now I'm panicking, thinking, what am I gonna get?

0:29:560:29:59

I really like that one.

0:29:590:30:01

I love that princess dress.

0:30:010:30:03

That is so stylish, that one. It's so beautiful.

0:30:030:30:06

I've decided. I like that one, definitely.

0:30:060:30:08

That is amazing.

0:30:080:30:10

Tom's picked a dress.

0:30:100:30:12

Full in the skirt, fitted at the waist with little to no support

0:30:120:30:15

for his pregnant bride-to-be.

0:30:150:30:18

-Oh, come on, darling.

-Sorry.

0:30:180:30:20

No, don't apologise.

0:30:200:30:24

I've been telling her anyway.

0:30:240:30:25

It's just been an emotional rollercoaster.

0:30:290:30:31

I think that's made her feel better today, seeing the dresses.

0:30:310:30:34

Obviously, she wants her mum, which, you know, that's normal.

0:30:340:30:38

Wedding dress challenge complete, and Sue's dress,

0:30:390:30:42

shoes and accessories are in the bag for just over £800.

0:30:420:30:47

I'm absolutely buzzing with that dress.

0:30:470:30:50

I think I've got a good price.

0:30:500:30:51

Although, it doesn't leave much of my budget

0:30:510:30:53

for five bridesmaids' dresses.

0:30:530:30:55

Buying a dress for one woman was tough enough,

0:30:570:31:00

but for five it's even harder.

0:31:000:31:02

With time and budget running out,

0:31:020:31:04

Tom and Derek go on the hunt for the bridesmaids' outfits.

0:31:040:31:08

-Oh, mate, what am I going to do?

-What do you reckon, Tom?

0:31:080:31:10

Something like that, it's bright.

0:31:100:31:12

-They're going to look like prawns!

-DEREK CHUCKLES

0:31:120:31:15

What about nice, floral things?

0:31:150:31:18

Eh, now this is the one, mate, I've got it.

0:31:200:31:22

Any bridesmaid would feel really special to wear that

0:31:220:31:25

to a main event.

0:31:250:31:27

For man's man Tom, women's fashion isn't his area of expertise.

0:31:270:31:31

Luckily, best man Derek is on hand with some practical advice.

0:31:310:31:35

My experience of going to weddings is, the bridesmaids are always

0:31:350:31:38

dressed in pa-ching over the top colours, anyway.

0:31:380:31:41

It seems to be the way it is. Then the bride looks nicer.

0:31:410:31:44

It's all about making the bride look great.

0:31:440:31:46

The options might be limited but the boys need to make a decision quickly.

0:31:480:31:52

They might be nice on but we've no way of telling that

0:31:520:31:55

-unless we buy them.

-Look at the price of that, man!

0:31:550:31:58

And a bargain's a bargain.

0:31:580:32:00

Back at Sue and Tom's shop, the bridesmaids, including Sue's nieces

0:32:020:32:06

Kelsey and Becky have assembled to try on their £11 dresses.

0:32:060:32:10

If they start... Just...

0:32:110:32:13

They can come in their jeans and their T-shirts, I'm not bothered.

0:32:130:32:15

As long as Sue looks like a princess,

0:32:150:32:17

-that's all that matters to me.

-TOM SNIFFLES

0:32:170:32:20

What will the girls make of their discount pink numbers?

0:32:200:32:24

Oh, my God!

0:32:240:32:26

-Tom, what are they?

-That's disgusting.

0:32:260:32:28

-No, that's horrible.

-Just try them on.

0:32:280:32:30

I don't know what sizes are but there's a few for youse.

0:32:300:32:33

I got different sizes.

0:32:330:32:35

They look beautiful on.

0:32:350:32:37

I'm not being horrible, I wouldn't even wear that to a job interview.

0:32:370:32:40

Becky, man, it's not as bad as you think, man!

0:32:400:32:43

I don't think you've tried hard enough.

0:32:430:32:45

I have been everywhere, I have worked my balls off.

0:32:450:32:49

-Yeah, but you know what a bridesmaid dress looks like.

-It's not...

0:32:490:32:52

It's a bloody different wedding.

0:32:520:32:54

You've probably gone to boring weddings.

0:32:540:32:56

-We're talking about me, you nah.

-No, Tom, it's not a bridesmaid dress.

0:32:560:33:00

-Go on. Just...

-It's not a bridesmaid dress.

0:33:000:33:02

Bridesmaids' dresses are whatever the hell I want them to be!

0:33:020:33:04

Now go and try 'em on and I'll come back!

0:33:040:33:07

-Bloody hell!

-Oh, my God.

0:33:070:33:10

Oh, my God.

0:33:100:33:11

I've tried. I'm a bloke. How was it going to turn out?

0:33:150:33:19

It was going to turn out crap.

0:33:190:33:21

You know, I've got enough on me plate to be totally honest with you.

0:33:210:33:24

It's a nervous wait for the girls' final verdict.

0:33:240:33:28

DOOR CREAKS OPEN

0:33:280:33:31

Don't say they look good, Tom.

0:33:310:33:32

-They look all right.

-Really?

0:33:320:33:34

-They look lovely. If you saw them!

-We can see them, Tom.

0:33:340:33:37

I can see them on other people!

0:33:370:33:39

-Are you going to wear it for Sue, or not?

-It feels like a towel.

0:33:390:33:42

Are you going to wear it or not?

0:33:420:33:44

-You're making it like...

-Are you gonna wear it?

0:33:440:33:46

-If it's for Sue.

-It is for Sue, who else is it for, it's not for me!

0:33:460:33:49

Tom has no idea if the girls will wear the dresses, or not.

0:33:510:33:55

I'm trying me best.

0:33:550:33:56

If it's not good enough then buy their own dresses.

0:33:560:33:59

I've only got a certain amount of money.

0:33:590:34:02

So time for an urgent budget check.

0:34:050:34:07

We'll be able to save some money there.

0:34:070:34:09

We're going to get them to jump on the bus.

0:34:090:34:11

Having shelled out on camping gear, supplies and three tepees

0:34:110:34:15

for the guests, there's just over £3,000 left

0:34:150:34:18

to pay for all the transport to the island.

0:34:180:34:20

Still..at least Derek's got the cake covered.

0:34:200:34:22

I've got no experience of making a wedding cake

0:34:220:34:24

but it's exactly the same as a Christmas cake

0:34:240:34:26

and I make a Christmas cake every year.

0:34:260:34:28

Well, that's that sorted.

0:34:280:34:30

Derek might be in charge of baking but Tom's determined to

0:34:300:34:33

have his cake and eat it when it comes to the bridesmaids.

0:34:330:34:36

Please, please, pick on the bridesmaids.

0:34:360:34:39

And he's got a spooky hen do in mind.

0:34:390:34:41

That'll be so funny, scare them as much as you want.

0:34:410:34:44

In fact, the more you scare them, the better.

0:34:440:34:46

Tom's booking separate coaches to take the bridal party and guests

0:34:460:34:50

to Scotland but he wants to keep the destination under wraps

0:34:500:34:54

and he has a cunning plan.

0:34:540:34:56

-Can you shut the curtains on this bus?

-I can, yes.

0:34:560:34:58

Is there a way where we can shut the curtains

0:34:580:35:00

so they don't know where they're going?

0:35:000:35:02

-Not on the windscreen.

-I never thought of that!

0:35:020:35:05

That's a bit of a stupid idea, isn't it, really?

0:35:050:35:08

That was a blonde moment - no offence.

0:35:080:35:11

Tom books a coach for his guests, a minibus for the wedding party

0:35:110:35:15

and a ferry to get everyone to Mull for the princely sum of £2,300

0:35:150:35:21

taking a huge chunk out of his already dwindling budget.

0:35:210:35:26

With the wedding just three days away, Tom needs to be heading

0:35:290:35:32

back to Scotland to prepare for his outdoor wedding.

0:35:320:35:36

But all plans are on hold.

0:35:360:35:38

I hope to God everything's all right.

0:35:380:35:40

All rules are set aside

0:35:400:35:43

so the bride and groom can both attend an early scan.

0:35:430:35:47

-SUE CRIES

-Are you all right?

0:35:470:35:49

Because of the complications at her first birth,

0:35:490:35:52

Sue's pregnancy is considered high risk.

0:35:520:35:55

Don't cry, cos you'll set me off.

0:35:570:35:59

I'm really nervous about this.

0:35:590:36:02

You're all right, I'm with you. Right.

0:36:020:36:04

We've got to see a consultant

0:36:040:36:06

and I'm classed as high risk cos of Holly's birth.

0:36:060:36:09

It's a nervous moment for the couple.

0:36:130:36:16

So does the baby in your opinion look healthy?

0:36:160:36:18

For this stage, it looks perfect.

0:36:210:36:23

Thank God for that!

0:36:230:36:26

I'm just so relieved, Sue.

0:36:260:36:28

-Are you all right?

-Yeah.

0:36:290:36:31

You don't realise how relieved I feel.

0:36:310:36:34

You're not the only one!

0:36:340:36:36

I'm all right. I'm tough.

0:36:380:36:42

There's been no mention of the wedding

0:36:420:36:44

and Tom's happy that Sue and their baby are safe.

0:36:440:36:47

I feel like I have got a house lifted off my shoulders.

0:36:470:36:51

Now I can try and organise a wedding!

0:36:510:36:53

Everything's all right.

0:36:540:36:56

There's a photo for Uncle Jamie to have a look at.

0:36:570:37:00

He now takes the long journey to Scotland to put the final touches

0:37:020:37:05

to his remote, wild, woodland wedding on the Isle of Mull.

0:37:050:37:10

After the good news of the scan, Sue can enjoy a night out with her mates.

0:37:110:37:15

-Right, Kels, have you got your bag?

-Yeah.

0:37:150:37:18

Tom's organised a hen do in York, starting in its famous dungeon.

0:37:180:37:23

We're going to the dungeons!

0:37:250:37:26

It's going to be good.

0:37:290:37:31

Welcome to the York Dungeon!

0:37:310:37:34

ALL SCREAM

0:37:360:37:38

Now you, what be your name?

0:37:420:37:44

Becky!

0:37:450:37:47

You look like you like to mix stuff, Becky.

0:37:470:37:50

THEY LAUGH

0:37:500:37:51

THEY SCREAM

0:37:510:37:54

Becky was in the way of everybody and getting picked on.

0:37:560:37:58

It was good, though. I think we all enjoyed it. It's been really good.

0:37:580:38:02

The hens have survived the ghosts and now they're moving on to the spirits.

0:38:040:38:08

Except Sue, of course, who's sticking to the soft drinks.

0:38:080:38:11

I did not expect to be in York,

0:38:110:38:12

I expected to be in Stockton somewhere in a really cheap pub.

0:38:120:38:15

I'm really proud of him, he's done really well.

0:38:150:38:18

And now I'm just excited to see what the wedding's got to bring now.

0:38:180:38:21

Sue loves Tom's choice of venue for the hen do

0:38:210:38:24

but how will she feel about a remote island in Scotland for the wedding?

0:38:240:38:28

Next morning on the Isle of Mull

0:38:310:38:33

and Tom's vision of a survivalist wedding is coming together.

0:38:330:38:36

# I see the pale moon rising... #

0:38:360:38:39

How are you doing, fella? Come here.

0:38:390:38:42

Yes! Whoo! We're here!

0:38:420:38:45

How cool are they?

0:38:450:38:47

They are amazing!

0:38:470:38:48

With just 48 hours to go until the wedding...

0:38:480:38:51

Do you want to come over and see what we're staying in?

0:38:510:38:53

..the sun is out, spirits are high and the tepees are up.

0:38:530:38:57

Back in Stockton...

0:38:570:38:59

-Are you nervous?

-Are you nervous?

0:38:590:39:01

Sue has no idea she'll be getting married outdoors on an island.

0:39:010:39:04

But she is about to see the dress she'll be wearing on it.

0:39:040:39:08

She hoped to feel like a princess.

0:39:090:39:12

So what will she make of Tom's choice of dress for her big day?

0:39:120:39:16

THEY GASP

0:39:210:39:23

Oh, Sue!

0:39:230:39:25

300 miles away on the remote island of Mull,

0:39:300:39:32

the lack of phone signal is proving tricky.

0:39:320:39:35

Tom, Tom. Have you heard anything from Sue?

0:39:350:39:37

She was putting the dress on this morning, wasn't she?

0:39:370:39:40

Oh, no, I haven't heard anything. I've got no reception, have I?

0:39:400:39:43

We need to find a place with a signal so that we can check

0:39:430:39:45

this dress out and make sure that it fits.

0:39:450:39:47

Oh, my God.

0:39:520:39:54

I don't know if I like it.

0:39:540:39:56

Sue, it's gorgeous.

0:39:560:39:58

It's stunning.

0:39:580:40:00

I feel too exposed at the top. I don't...

0:40:000:40:03

I am worried sick about this dress. I'm worried sick.

0:40:030:40:06

Tom, we did the best we could with our high-class...

0:40:060:40:09

..stylistic style guru approach.

0:40:110:40:13

I'm just...

0:40:130:40:15

I got them to try loads of dresses on so I just...

0:40:150:40:18

I hope I've got the right one. I'm absolutely...

0:40:180:40:21

If she doesn't like it, it proves what we knew all along,

0:40:210:40:23

that neither of us have any dress sense.

0:40:230:40:25

You know, but that's no good,

0:40:250:40:26

it's her wedding day, man. It's got to be right.

0:40:260:40:28

I love the dress but I didn't realise how much it meringued...

0:40:280:40:31

Sue, I'm not joking, it's better than the three you tried on.

0:40:310:40:34

It's stunning.

0:40:340:40:37

Oh, God, it's...

0:40:370:40:38

If you feel as if you're exposed,

0:40:380:40:41

can they not loosen it up at the back a bit?

0:40:410:40:43

It's not that, it's my boobs, isn't it, they're growing.

0:40:430:40:46

That's going to happen, Sue.

0:40:460:40:49

-You're pregnant.

-That's just normal, isn't it?

0:40:490:40:51

Will she ring?

0:40:540:40:56

-Oh, it's run out of charge.

-Derek!

0:40:560:40:59

Maybe now's not the time, Derek.

0:40:590:41:01

Don't lose your sense of humour.

0:41:010:41:02

When that goes you've lost everything.

0:41:020:41:04

I've none until I find out about this dress.

0:41:040:41:06

You'll have to grow one again.

0:41:060:41:08

-To be honest...

-I'm going to have to see if I can get a bra to like...

0:41:080:41:11

-I don't know.

-Sue, you're not going to flatten them,

0:41:110:41:14

pet, you're pregnant.

0:41:140:41:15

If I bend over, I'm gonna hit somebody in the face.

0:41:150:41:18

When you mentioned you feel a little bit exposed here.

0:41:210:41:24

Now, you can... We have our seamstress here.

0:41:240:41:28

So you can, it's up to you, she can put organza straps here or

0:41:280:41:32

there's loads of other options.

0:41:320:41:34

Some of Sue's worries about the dress could be solved with some

0:41:340:41:38

simple modifications.

0:41:380:41:39

But at a cost.

0:41:390:41:41

-Hello.

-'Hello, is that Derek?'

0:41:420:41:44

-It is, yes.

-Sue's been trying that dress on.

0:41:440:41:47

-Does she like it, does she like the dress?

-Yeah.

0:41:470:41:50

-Yeah, she likes the dress.

-Yes!

0:41:500:41:52

Sorry. How much?

0:41:520:41:54

She just needs some extra support on it,

0:41:540:41:56

which is an extra 40 quid to get that fitted.

0:41:560:41:58

-Get it.

-Nice one, bye-bye.

-Get in! Get in!

0:41:580:42:02

Tom's dad has arrived on site and is now dispensing outdoorsy wisdom.

0:42:060:42:10

It seems our groom might be a chip off the old block.

0:42:100:42:13

It's very light but split it in there and then again.

0:42:130:42:17

I'd love to take all the credit for it and say,

0:42:170:42:19

"Yes, I taught him everything!"

0:42:190:42:21

But, no, he's learnt most of it himself.

0:42:210:42:23

Meanwhile, self-taught Tom has an unexpected issue to solve -

0:42:230:42:27

getting drizzle out of a generator.

0:42:270:42:29

It hasn't been serviced for while, it'll be all right.

0:42:290:42:31

If it rains, the thing to remember is, skin is waterproof.

0:42:310:42:34

You won't get drowned by sitting out in a little bit of rain.

0:42:340:42:37

It's looking pretty amazing. We have floodlights.

0:42:370:42:41

Inside the tepees is pretty amazing.

0:42:410:42:44

We've got the hay bales, we've got fires.

0:42:440:42:47

Tom's stag is about to begin with a bang.

0:42:470:42:50

Whoo, look at that. Run!

0:42:500:42:53

Well, almost...

0:42:530:42:55

-Is that it?

-Yeah!

-You should have put it on the fire, Tom.

0:42:550:42:58

That's rubbish! 10 quid that cost!

0:42:580:43:00

It's early morning, the day before the wedding.

0:43:040:43:07

The coach is collecting the wedding guests

0:43:070:43:10

but they still have no idea where they're going.

0:43:100:43:13

Are you all right, sweetheart?

0:43:130:43:15

Meanwhile, a minibus picks up the bridesmaids, Sue and her dad, Colin,

0:43:150:43:20

who have no idea how far they're going either.

0:43:200:43:23

Right, can everybody put their hands up and say cheers!

0:43:230:43:25

ALL CHEER

0:43:250:43:28

-Holly, say cheers.

-Cheers.

0:43:280:43:30

That was a nice one.

0:43:300:43:31

The bridal party may be in good spirits but, over in Mull, the stress

0:43:340:43:38

of pulling off a wedding on a remote island is taking its toll on Tom.

0:43:380:43:43

At the moment Thomas is in his car, he is currently wound up.

0:43:430:43:46

He's built it up.

0:43:460:43:47

I think, obviously, he's realised there's people travelling here,

0:43:470:43:50

everything's happening now.

0:43:500:43:52

At least he's calming down, that's the main thing,

0:43:520:43:54

rather than blowing up.

0:43:540:43:55

But Tom's survivalist theme has some of the stags

0:43:550:43:57

worried about facilities...

0:43:570:43:59

Or lack of them.

0:43:590:44:00

That over there has just got a sink in it with cold water,

0:44:000:44:03

a urinal and a toilet pot.

0:44:030:44:06

He's expecting 40-odd guests.

0:44:060:44:09

The guests have been travelling all morning

0:44:120:44:14

and still have no idea where they're heading.

0:44:140:44:17

-Are you enjoying it?

-Yeah.

0:44:170:44:19

-It's going to be fun.

-It's going to be fun.

0:44:190:44:21

Knowing Thomas I'm sure it'll be a really good weekend.

0:44:210:44:24

It better be!

0:44:240:44:26

# Two, four, six, eight

0:44:260:44:28

# You're never too late! #

0:44:280:44:29

But on the bridal bus, Sue's concerns are growing.

0:44:290:44:32

I'm a little bit worried at the moment.

0:44:320:44:35

Wondering where it might be.

0:44:350:44:36

So I'll have to wait and see.

0:44:380:44:40

See how far I travel now

0:44:400:44:41

and then I might get an inkling of where I'm going.

0:44:410:44:44

Look, it's official, we're going to Scotland, ladies and gentlemen!

0:44:460:44:50

The guests have made it over the border

0:44:520:44:54

but there's still a long way to go, which is just as well

0:44:540:44:58

because Tom still has one vital survival element

0:44:580:45:01

he needs for the campsite -

0:45:010:45:02

bedding for the tepees.

0:45:020:45:04

What a treasure trove!

0:45:040:45:06

They've got sleeping bags, blankets, everything...

0:45:060:45:09

The budget might be almost gone

0:45:090:45:11

but luckily Tom gets the bedding for free,

0:45:110:45:14

thanks to good old Scottish hospitality in the form of...

0:45:140:45:17

-What was your name, sorry?

-Hazel.

0:45:170:45:19

Hazel has helped me out no end.

0:45:190:45:21

That is such a weight off my mind. I am so...

0:45:230:45:25

Thank you.

0:45:270:45:29

Give me a cuddle. Thank you very much.

0:45:290:45:31

I appreciate it. Cheers.

0:45:310:45:33

The guests have now been on the coach for nine hours.

0:45:340:45:37

The journey's tedious, boring, tiring

0:45:390:45:41

and we want off the bus now, please.

0:45:410:45:43

Even Tom's mum's had enough.

0:45:430:45:45

It'll be worth it, I suppose, when we get off the bus, won't it, boys?

0:45:450:45:49

-Yeah.

-Are youse tired?

-Yes.

0:45:490:45:52

But at last they're off the coach, just in time to start the next

0:45:520:45:56

leg of their journey - the ferry ride to the island.

0:45:560:45:59

I'm getting excited now.

0:45:590:46:01

-We're all right now because we're on the boat.

-Yeah, yeah.

0:46:010:46:04

Hopefully we're not going to be long now.

0:46:040:46:05

We're looking forward to a luxury hotel, Thomas.

0:46:050:46:07

-Aren't we?

-Yes, Thomas.

0:46:070:46:09

-I've got loads of bedding.

-Well done.

0:46:110:46:13

With just an hour to go, back at camp...

0:46:130:46:16

Lads...

0:46:160:46:17

It's a dash to get the bedding in place.

0:46:170:46:19

I've got to pick the up family first, get them here.

0:46:190:46:22

-Do you want to take the van?

-Yeah.

0:46:220:46:24

Before Tom races off to meet the coach party and guide them

0:46:240:46:27

on the final leg of their journey.

0:46:270:46:29

Oh, hang on. I can see something.

0:46:310:46:33

Oh, my God.

0:46:350:46:36

Tom's in time to meet the guests' coach to guide them down

0:46:370:46:40

the final, dark, windy roads to the remote campsite.

0:46:400:46:44

Right, it's a bit of a tricky road on the way there.

0:46:440:46:47

There is loads of alcohol, lovely accommodation

0:46:470:46:51

and, so, it's going to be an absolute laugh.

0:46:510:46:53

But just as the exhausted guests finally arrive at camp,

0:46:590:47:02

so does the rain.

0:47:020:47:04

It's a bit of rain. Doesn't hurt anyone, does it?

0:47:040:47:07

I don't think that's going to make people happy, but...

0:47:070:47:10

hey, I don't care.

0:47:100:47:11

The kids are tired. It's raining.

0:47:130:47:16

Better get stuff sorted, so the kids can go to bed.

0:47:160:47:18

It's, like, the campsite, it's a bit different, but never mind.

0:47:180:47:21

Patrick?

0:47:210:47:23

But the relentless downpour is starting to cause problems.

0:47:230:47:26

He's got the kids and they're getting wet.

0:47:260:47:28

-I've got no space.

-Do you have the key?

0:47:280:47:29

I've no space. The car's full of stuff.

0:47:290:47:31

While the island storm is pushing Tom's dream of a survivalist wedding

0:47:310:47:35

to its limits, over on the mainland,

0:47:350:47:37

the bridal party are having a much cosier time of it.

0:47:370:47:41

Here we are. So we're coming through here.

0:47:410:47:43

-Wow, Holly. This way, Holly.

-This way, darling.

-This way, this way.

0:47:430:47:47

Oh, my God.

0:47:470:47:48

-ALL:

-Oh, my God!

-Oh, wow!

0:47:480:47:50

ALL TALK

0:47:500:47:52

Look at that!

0:47:520:47:53

-Yeah!

-Whoa, look at this!

-Woo!

0:47:540:47:56

-Yay!

-THEY SHOUT

0:47:560:47:58

-Oh, my God!

-THEY SHOUT EXCITEDLY

0:47:580:48:02

Whoa, Holly, how amazing. Has Dad done a good job or what?

0:48:040:48:08

-LAUGHTER

-Yay!

0:48:080:48:10

Enjoy it, Sue.

0:48:100:48:11

Tomorrow night, you'll be in a hobbit's hut.

0:48:110:48:14

The following morning, the storm has passed

0:48:200:48:23

and the sun is out for the start of the big survival-themed wedding.

0:48:230:48:27

Saw the rain and I freaked out and, luckily, we'd organised digs,

0:48:270:48:31

but it was in a village about ten mile up the road.

0:48:310:48:35

It was still raining at one o'clock this morning

0:48:350:48:37

when I was still awake, so...

0:48:370:48:38

I woke up floating in water.

0:48:380:48:41

So, yeah, I got soaked.

0:48:410:48:42

The bridal party have arrived from the mainland

0:48:460:48:48

and Tom's arranged a hotel where they can get ready.

0:48:480:48:51

With just hours to go, it's time for Sue

0:48:510:48:53

to see those £11 bridesmaid dresses.

0:48:530:48:57

God, I daren't even look!

0:48:570:48:59

Will this be a whole other storm?

0:48:590:49:00

Oh, my God, I love them.

0:49:040:49:05

Oh.

0:49:050:49:07

I think yous look absolutely gorgeous.

0:49:070:49:09

And, Becky, yours matches your lipstick and everything.

0:49:090:49:11

-LAUGHTER

-Honestly. I was not expecting that.

0:49:110:49:15

I was, like, expecting some big, bouffant thing.

0:49:150:49:18

Honestly, I love it. I think yous all look absolutely gorgeous.

0:49:180:49:21

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-I really do. You're welcome.

0:49:210:49:23

It's finally the moment the bridal party have been waiting for.

0:49:250:49:29

Seeing Sue in all her splendour.

0:49:290:49:32

It's absolutely massive.

0:49:360:49:38

-OMG!

-It's huge.

-I actually love it.

0:49:380:49:41

Dad, do you like it?

0:49:410:49:43

Yeah.

0:49:430:49:44

-You look beautiful!

-CHILD TALKS

0:49:460:49:48

-Are we going to go and get married?

-CHILD TALKS

0:49:480:49:50

-Well, I'm ready. Go on, then.

-Ready?

-Let's go, go, go.

-Go, go.

0:49:500:49:54

Tom's laid on an open-top classic car to take his bride to the ceremony.

0:49:570:50:02

-Everybody into the venue, please.

-Going this way, now.

0:50:030:50:07

At the woodland location, the guests and Tom are assembled and waiting.

0:50:070:50:12

But it looks like a storm is brewing.

0:50:120:50:15

She'll come. She'll come.

0:50:150:50:17

Outside, our bride is finally here,

0:50:200:50:22

but Tom's idea of an idyllic country drive hasn't quite gone to plan.

0:50:220:50:27

Oh, my God.

0:50:270:50:29

I'm freezing!

0:50:290:50:30

Bit too bloody late for the umbrella now.

0:50:320:50:35

Hnnh!

0:50:350:50:36

Oh, thank you. Oh, bless.

0:50:390:50:42

Right, I think I'm ready to go and punch him in the face, now!

0:50:420:50:45

Good luck.

0:50:450:50:46

I don't need any luck, he's going to get his head knocked off.

0:50:460:50:50

-Are you excited, Sue?

-No.

-Why?

-Because I'm freezing...

0:50:500:50:55

My boobs are falling out,

0:50:550:50:57

I've been hailstoned on my head...

0:50:570:50:59

in a car that I couldn't even fit into.

0:50:590:51:00

Look at the state of it already!

0:51:000:51:02

Look. It's minging, absolutely minging already.

0:51:020:51:05

A white dress in a field.

0:51:050:51:06

Why get something so big and puffy

0:51:060:51:08

in a bloody field?

0:51:080:51:09

I'm bloody freezing.

0:51:090:51:11

As Sue prepares to make her entrance...

0:51:110:51:14

Do I just go straight in?

0:51:140:51:15

..the floodgates look ready to open. And that's just Tom.

0:51:150:51:18

But the weather's not looking great, either.

0:51:200:51:23

Those storm clouds are threatening to put a dampener on all his hard work.

0:51:230:51:28

After three long weeks in the making,

0:51:370:51:40

the big moment is finally here.

0:51:400:51:43

It's freezing cold.

0:51:430:51:45

It wasn't meant to be like this.

0:51:450:51:47

My dress is dirty.

0:51:470:51:49

We'll talk about it later.

0:51:490:51:51

Tom, will you love,

0:51:540:51:56

honour and cherish Susan as your wife the rest of your life?

0:51:560:51:59

-I do.

-Susan, will you love,

0:51:590:52:02

honour and cherish Tom as your husband for the rest of your life?

0:52:020:52:05

I will.

0:52:050:52:06

Thankfully, the weather holds long enough for Tom

0:52:060:52:08

and Sue to tie the knot.

0:52:080:52:10

It gives me much pleasure to make you husband and wife.

0:52:100:52:14

CHEERING

0:52:140:52:16

# Yeah, you and me we can ride on a star

0:52:160:52:19

# If you stay with me, girl

0:52:190:52:23

# We can rule the world

0:52:230:52:27

# Yeah, you and me We can light up the sky... #

0:52:270:52:32

But then... THUNDER RUMBLES

0:52:320:52:34

..as if on cue...

0:52:340:52:35

the heavens open and the guests run for cover.

0:52:350:52:39

We can't do anything about the weather.

0:52:410:52:43

It's the British weather for you!

0:52:430:52:45

Safely out of the rain, Sue gets to see the fruit of Tom's labours.

0:52:490:52:53

Oh, my God.

0:52:530:52:56

Has he done all this, as well?

0:52:560:52:57

But has she taken to his survival theme?

0:52:570:53:00

He had to get survival into it somehow, didn't he?

0:53:000:53:03

She's probably thinking, "Oh, my God, that's what's he'd done?"

0:53:030:53:06

Her dream venue was probably, like, a stately home or something

0:53:060:53:09

in some grounds of a park and this is... It's a bit out there!

0:53:090:53:13

I think I ballsed up, though.

0:53:130:53:15

So what does the traditional girl make of her not quite

0:53:150:53:18

-traditional wedding?

-Do you like it, or not?

0:53:180:53:21

-It's not what I'd have chose!

-Do you like it, or not?

0:53:210:53:23

Well, I'm with you, so I don't really care where I go.

0:53:230:53:26

-Thanks.

-I love you so much.

0:53:260:53:28

I think he's done really, really well.

0:53:280:53:30

He's thought of me all the way along,

0:53:300:53:32

so he's had to get his little bit in there, so I'll let him off.

0:53:320:53:35

It's still a bit strange, but...hey, it was his choice!

0:53:350:53:38

Leaving the wet chill outside, the guests get

0:53:420:53:44

a taste of the outdoors indoors as they take their places for the meal.

0:53:440:53:48

We're going to have to find some more chairs, Tom.

0:53:480:53:51

A quick break in the weather gives Tom the chance to reveal

0:53:510:53:54

the final survivor of his wilderness wedding.

0:53:540:53:57

I love that, it's absolutely amazing! It's very you, isn't it?

0:53:570:54:01

-It is.

-I'm just thinking of poor Holly squashed in there with us.

0:54:010:54:04

-Getting down in a pram.

-It's boiling in here, it's roasting in here.

0:54:040:54:07

-It's lovely, it's absolutely gorgeous, you've done well.

-Really?

0:54:070:54:11

-Yeah. It's really nice.

-Phew!

0:54:110:54:12

At the reception, the guests are quite literally surviving,

0:54:170:54:21

thanks to fresh food sourced from the local area and a lovely cake...

0:54:210:54:26

sourced from Derek!

0:54:260:54:28

It is so Tom to make tables!

0:54:280:54:31

It's so Tom to have leaves on the ceiling.

0:54:310:54:34

I think he should be really proud of what he's done.

0:54:340:54:36

I think it's very thoughtful and I think that he has tried really hard.

0:54:360:54:40

I don't know if people got the survivalist wedding, I think

0:54:400:54:43

they definitely got the fact that they needed to survive!

0:54:430:54:46

It's not the norm, which we wasn't expecting from Tom.

0:54:460:54:49

If it's Thomas, you don't get the norm.

0:54:490:54:52

You make the best of what you've got.

0:54:520:54:54

It's good that they've had a good time.

0:54:540:54:56

You've got no control over the weather -

0:54:560:54:58

the rain, thunder and lightning earlier on,

0:54:580:55:01

but that hasn't had any bearing on it whatsoever.

0:55:010:55:04

We've thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

0:55:040:55:06

Tom planned a survivalist wedding to prove to his bride that he

0:55:060:55:09

would always be there to protect her.

0:55:090:55:11

Probably failed miserably cos of the bloody weather.

0:55:110:55:13

The heavens opened, thunder and lightning started.

0:55:130:55:16

You know, at the end of the day,

0:55:160:55:17

it's about me and Tom getting married and that's all that counts.

0:55:170:55:20

-Thank you.

-You're welcome.

-It means a lot.

0:55:200:55:22

We can't help the weather, we're in Scotland.

0:55:220:55:24

And even bad weather can't put a dampener on the news

0:55:240:55:27

our couple are about to reveal to their guests.

0:55:270:55:30

I'm so glad to have yous here.

0:55:300:55:33

I know things haven't went perfectly to plan,

0:55:330:55:36

but I've got one last thing to tell you.

0:55:360:55:38

We're expecting another baby.

0:55:380:55:40

CHEERING

0:55:400:55:44

Next time...

0:56:040:56:06

Traditional bride-to-be Sophie

0:56:060:56:08

dreams of a fairytale wedding.

0:56:080:56:10

I want it to be a nice, colourful, positive, happy day.

0:56:100:56:14

# What's that coming over the hill

0:56:140:56:16

# Is it a monster... #

0:56:160:56:17

-But wannabe hero Alex...

-I want that, and them, and the guns.

0:56:170:56:20

..wants to show his love by scaring the living daylights out of her.

0:56:200:56:23

Will he be able to save the day?

0:56:250:56:27

I'll be like, this hero of the day to save my wife!

0:56:270:56:30

Or will he get it dead wrong?

0:56:300:56:32

Disaster.
