Don’t Tell The Bride - All The Men Are Awful!

Currently watching some old Don’t Tell The Bride episodes I haven’t seen before and have one question….why are these women saddling themselves with these losers?
None of the men seem like fully functioning adults. They are big kids who should be at home with mummy. They don’t/can’t do housework? They don’t/can’t look after the kids? Their mates are usually total losers too.
And then on top of that they try to organise a wedding and most of them don’t even know what size dress she is? They give her the worst hen do imaginable and have no idea at all of what wedding she would like? (though I expect the groom is made to choose something outlandish to make the show better).
AIBU to wonder how many of these marriages ended in divorce?

I started watching one halfway through yesterday where I thought the groom was quite clearly gay but marrying a female friend. They were both hairdressers I think.

Do you remember their names? I’d like to watch this one.

She was called Jenna. He might have been Jack or Jake? It was odd as they appeared to have a child. As another poster said there was mentions of theirs being an untraditional relationship. He organised a really pretentious catwalk show with models for the ceremony and she hated it! He also designed her a dreadful dress and arranged for her to have 'directional' make up which looked terrible - like that uncut gems woman who went out with Kanye post Kim.

I know people who’ve been on this programme as guests of the wedding. The whole thing is directed by the producers. The groom was repeatedly told
to change his ideas to make it more entertaining for tv. Makes for good tv but it’s very misleading!

I’m glad you mentioned this one! I can remember the cringe catwalk and her reaction, but couldn’t recall the names or any other details. I want to find a clip of it. Is definitely in the Top 5 best worst episodes.

I found it - It’s on More4 Series 10 Ep 8
