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 the award for using the word lovely the most times in a post goes to me

One of the couples that made me think 'oh, you're both lovely' were the two who used to be Jehovah Witnesses but had left the church, I think the groom was estranged from his family as a result. They were so sweet.

x post with DesperatelySeeking!

the under water wedding one had me going oh thats different until it was revealed it was underwater at the local swimming baths

OMG The underwater fucking wedding!!! How could I forget?

I think Orange is blonde, from Chester-ish and is a beauty therapist... Based on very little other than 'small business' and 'village' haha

wouldn't be surprised if they have split up, when it first started it seemed to be a balance of awwy ones and WTF ones now they just seem to show the dramatic

I'd forgotten about the underwater wedding at the local swimming baths, haha Absolutely ridiculous!!!

It was bonkers she is in the changing rooms sobbing I would have went home made me howl then they had to go to the registery office anyway with wet hair

I found the one a few weeks ago a bit strange as well where he arranged for the wedding to be held in a tiny tree house! I have never forgotten the episode at Thorpe Park either and how furious that bride was

oh yes it was pissing of rain in thorpe park and she was furious , these women are the ones who come on here and say My dh can;t work the washing machine bless him whats he like

I guess they select couples where the groom is an idiot and will make a mess of it. But it is the selfishness of some that takes my breath away.

the selfishness baffles me one i watched It was a gay couple and his best man was furious of some of the guys decisions so he sulked till they were changed and the groom did it regardless of his partners feelings,

the one at the festival shocked me too.. bridezilla!

To be honest, I always give the brides the benefit of the doubt. I
am sure the production team are winding them up. And certainly getting them to choose a dress and visit their dream venue will do this. So I am sure some behave in ways they would normally never dream of doing.

Have any of you ever watched the programme where 4 brides go to each others weddings and rate them? Now there is some real awful comments on that programme.

I thought the bride's behaviour on last night's episode didn't bode well for the marriage itself. Okay, jumping out of a plane is a bit much but she wouldn't even wear the dress and it was stunning! In my view she ruined the day by throwing such a massive strop but then somehow convinced the groom that it had been his fault all along. Incredible.
They do seem to choose grooms with totally outlandish/selfish plans for the wedding and I always think 'it's not going to happen' but the brides always realise that what is actually important is that they will be spending the rest of their lives with these partners, so the ceremony itself isn't so consequential. But I'm not sure last night's bride could see that.

Maybe I'm being too harsh...

I lov this program so much. DP pretends Not to, but he loves shouting at the tv just as much as I do.

I need to know who orange is. Please give us a clue?

My favourite one was the one in the tree house.

Why does there always seem to be a pregnant bridesmaid?

grennie do you mean 4 weddings? I used to watch that all the time. Those brides were so bitchy!

Yes I do. Couldn't remember the name. There were sometimes really lovely brides on it who said nice things about everyones wedding. But yes, many of them were awful.

There's a blog somewhere from a couple who were on dttb. Is interesting

The Vegas one was terrible, I would have actually prefered her to not go through with it, groom was a selfish "insert expletive", I really liked the one where the groom spent loads of budget to fly her brother over from Australia to give her away, he rang the doorbell on the morning of the wedding, happy tears from me!

v. interesting!

Great thread! I love DTTB and had always wondered how much the producers guided the couples. I wouldn't do it myself but I can understand why you might. The one I really don't "get" is 4 weddings. The idea of having 3 women you barely know at your wedding precisely to pick holes in it on your special day for the 1 in 4 chance of winning a honeymoon!
