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.

Nope my cake wasn't a nose. It was three tier with little statues of me and my DH on it.

I'm not blonde or a beauty therapist and I live about 100/125 south (ish) of Chester.

Personally I can't understand why brides would want to go on four weddings. I know that I have effectively 'sold my day' but we did get a lovely wedding out of it and were surrounded by people that wanted to enjoy the day and wish us the best. On four weddings you usually have three sour faced brides nit-picking the day that you've worked so hard to plan and you may not get the honeymoon at the end - usually down to one horrible bride marking tactically!

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

There was a programme where they went back to a few couples.

The one who got absolutely everything perfect for his 'princess' was the only one still married.

I have not seen this last series but I was talking to a male friend and we said it might be a laugh, he said if he organised it he would spend 10K on the hen/stag dos. Not sure they would let him but i liked the idea.

I have on quite good authority been told the Vegas couple have spilt up, apparently when she didn't want to go the production team told her she/they had to pay back the money, he promised her that when they got back they would have a big party and renew there vows and she could get the dress of her dreams (not sure why they took part as they could have paid for the wedding themselfs) anyway she ordered the dress booked the do and found out he was seeing someone else!

I love 4 weddings it is great ,

I dont understand the dttb they say they have only a few weeks to organise the wedding but you need to post the banns 6 weeks before in your parish (area) don't you ?

nyway she ordered the dress booked the do and found out he was seeing someone else!

No way

Katystar she's well rid of that tosser, he was so gormless! Can't believe he had two women on the go.

Am glad the Vegas couple split up. Hope she is having more luck now, he was awful.

They must have tons of couples applying, I suppose the wackier the idea the better chance they'll have of getting selected.

ExcuseTypos you're right. A Scottish couple got married, he fixed for her to parachute out of a plane, she wasn't keen but she did it and said he knew her better than she knew herself because she loved it.

orange and Anna glad you had a lovely time.

I don't enjoy Four Weddings as much as DTTB. I wouldn't want 3 strangers sitting in on my wedding being critical and with faces like smakcked bottoms if they thought mine scored higher in any respect.

I find 4 weddings morbidly fascinating. But I don't understand why anyone takes part.

I think they get paid to appear and of course the winthe holiday to some exotic place don't they, last Four weddings i watched 2 women had fallen out on facebook before the last wedding it was all bit awkward I am always fascinated by what they are eating , there is also 4 weddngs US but they seem politer about the other brides

I thought that parachute guy was a dicksmack.

Get fucking REAL!

Thinking someone is going to be game to marry in a fucking boiler suit in a noisy aeroplane, with no one there, and then jump out.

Spent all the money on that stupid idea.

I'd have told him to go fuck himself.

I'm a photographer and one of my couples told me at their pre-wedding chat that they'd applied to be on the show and were rejected. Apparently he'd told the producers he'd love a New York themed wedding in a local hotel, hire props, have New York food etc. and they keeps pushing him to get married in New York instead. When he said they'd got elderly relatives who couldn't fly and wouldn't go without them, they were rejected.

That's shocking!!!!

I think it's fair enough, the programme is being made for the viewers not the couple. Viewers like drama!

I suppose sqoosh it is an entertainment programme and we do love a bit of drama dont we that is why we watch it but it is so annoying sometimes

Love don't tell the bride! Really did think last night she was going to kill him though and did go a bit over the top, my hubby likes it too and said the one with the alien autopsy wedding was a bit too much lol but I love it going through it from a blokes point of view of organising a wedding and seeing how much of it their brides do like, thought she was going to refuse to get married last night though x

mrsjay I think you only have to publish your intent to marry.

Wiki says "Since July 1, 1837, civil marriages have been a legal alternative to church marriages, under the Marriage Act 1836, which provided the statutory basis for regulating and recording marriages. So, today, a couple has a choice between being married in the Anglican Church, after the calling of banns or obtaining a license or else, they can give "Notice of Marriage" to a civil registrar. In this latter case, the notice is publicly posted for 15 days, after which a civil marriage can take place. Marriages may take place in churches other than Anglican churches, but these are governed by civil marriage law and notice must be given to the civil registrar in the same way. The marriage may then take place without a registrar being present, if the church itself is registered for marriages and the minister or priest is an Authorised Person for marriages."

We got married with an Archbishop's Licence which is also known as a Special Licence. DH was able to apply for this without my knowledge/consent/signature (although I did know) so it's about the only way to surprise someone with their own wedding. It's also not published and can be rushed.

ah ok thanks I am sure ours was posted and displayed at the registry office a few weeks before the wedding saying that it was 20 yrs ago I wonder if the law is different in England than scotland,

The sister apparently know what was going on which is why she refused to go....he also had lots of one night stands!!!

A friend of ours got married by special licence a few days before he passed away, so giving notice isnt a necessity, although I have wondered if the calling of the banns is why you dont see many church weddings on there.

oh im sorry about your friend passing bogey but least he managed to get married which would have been lovely

I loved the one recently with the Mod bloke who had his Bride transported to The Forum in London in a Mod Bike Convoy.

Oh how i sobbed as she appeared on the stairs as Mod blokes mate sang.

The Vegas one had me screaming at the TV- the groom and best man were just idiots.

saintmerryweather the HMS Belfast is my favourite too.

It wasn't at all what she would have chosen but I think she really dd love it - and the bit where the bride and her dad come up to the big boat in a little boat, with everyone clapping.

I have tries unsuccessfully to persuade my DP to apply for this. I think we would be picked as we want totally different things.
