to think the women in "Don't Tell The Bride" should go through the day their OH has organised? [contains spoilers]

[MardyBra]

Like the woman on the last one.

She didn't like the dress her bloke chose, so she had a tantrum to get another one.

And then she didn't jump out of the plane he so thoughtfully organised her.

I mean, if you're going to prostitute your big day and accept thousands of pounds of our licence fees to get a free day, you should go through with the premise of the show.

Otherwise the brides should pay the money back.

And after all, they've got to expect their OH to do something daft. The producers always pick some bloke with a truly crass idea.

I'm the only one who watches this trash aren't I?

I am strangely hooked. Teenage DD is slightly aghast.

I love Don't Tell the Bride!!!

I did think she was being a bit 'precious' last night.....

I think she was pretty shitty last night, I know he was a dick for organising it but as you have all said, that's the deal.

She also showed what she was like in the dress shop(her dress shop) when she didn't like a single style and called them fussy. Oh the irony

Even if they offered me 12k in cash I would not jump out of a sodding plane!

Yes, but I wouldn't marry anyone who thought it would be a good idea to organise a parachute wedding.

They don't take licence fee money, as it is sponsored by a mix if other Channels , C/E4 etc.

The jumping out of an aeroplane, I understand, refusing but some of them have been over reacting to the dress.

The Bridesmaids haven't, though, I don't blame some of them for putting their foot down.

I watch it regularly and know one couple who went onto it.

I live the ones were the groom gets it right, even if it isn't what the Bride would of chosen ( and stupidly have cried at some).

One thing that does annoy me though is that you see the Groom sending his bride out on a really, really shitty Hen Night (or to do an event the woman will obviously hate, like in last night's episode) but then he will spend £100's on his Stag Do which is always brilliant! That makes me a bit when I watch it...

I did see an "One year on from Don't Tell the Bride" and.........some of them were appalled at how they carried on and felt quite ashamed !

Isn't it BBC though birds. Anyway, it's the principle.

I've never seen one where they haven't gone through with it. Bugger.

My favourite one was when the groom went to Vegas for his stag do. Sent the hens to the bingo. Bought bridesmaids dresses in some kind of 2 for 1 bargain in Primark. And bought the most god awful bridal shoes way too big so she ended up wearing her mums flip flops.

My favourite ever was the guy who did the Glastonbury wedding. He sang wonderwall and made a video with her ds. Dress was gorgeous too.

'twas years ago, I'm sad

Both my husband and i are completely addicted! So is my brother and his gf. What i don't understand is if these women know they are complete control freaks, and they never trust their partners to organise anything, wtf are they doing going on the show? Surely they know that things won't be to their taste and will only stress them out?

I feel most sorry for the ones whose DH organises a wedding abroad and then can't afford to fly friends and family over.

Why don't these brides just leave a ma-hoosive list of dos and don'ts before leaving?

I assume that they enter because they want a free wedding and take the risk of it being crap.

I've been one of the brides on DTTB

To my knowledge we were contracted to follow through with whatever our grooms planned (which presumably is why no groom has been left at the alter!) It can be quite costly to the couple if the rules aren't adhered to on the day of the wedding.

So I'm not sure how she got away with it last night.....

yanbu, but I am not jumping out of a plan for anybody.

Red She still got married. She just refused to do it in a plane and wouldn't do the parachute jump he'd organised.

Yeah Orange! which one were you.

Give us all the inside gen!

Is there a 'are they still together' website somewhere? Some I had massive doubts about.

It'll all be chivvied along in the most dramatic ways by the producers though. I mean, if you were applying to go on it, wouldn't you prep your future husband about everything you liked?

I'd love to know how much of it is actually staged or influenced. "Hey stag, it would make great telly if you spend hundreds on your night and a tenner on your future wife's night!"

It also massively pisses me off when the bride and groom cry cos they have to spend three weeks apart.
