Don't Tell The Bride - Sept 4th

Hmmm- don't know if its just me, but they are both getting on my nerves!!! And seriouslys girls- don't sign up for the program if you are going to bawl all the way through it that you dont get your own way!

Rant over! ?

I completely agree with laura1982 it's not like it's the first ever series, they all know what they have signed up for!!! And personally I would have created a scrapbook of things I like and have given it to oh before filming lol!!! Control freak much??

I think this is possibly the worst episode I have ever seen! It even beats the Vegas one!

Why on earth would you give control of your big day to a man that almost went bankrupt by gambling & living beyond his means!!!

This is horrendous!!!

That was random...maybe she was putting on the whole 'plain' act cause she didn't seem too upset about the red carpet in the end!!

Also good job that ceremony room was packed- those fishy pictures freaked me out!!!

(I would be very miffed about the difference in stag and hen do tho!!)

Errr - little obsessed with her mums second wedding, which she was upset about the parents divorce. Mainly - what was going on with her veil - that type of veil should not be warn that low down!!

I do not think he did a good job

It looked like she was wearing a cape!

It came across really fake to me- she certainly looked like a mega bling kinda girl.

He dumped her in Bristol with nothing to do while he went to the races AND spent two days in a flashy house getting smashed! I'd love to know how many of these couples stay together!!

Very weird. I can only assume she's planning on getting married again later in life and doing it properly!?! That whole wedding was horrendous!!

And yes why was her veil attached to her neck?!

They need to do a revisited in a few years time I think...would not expect a good survival rate (how cynical of moi!)

yes- like her mother did perhaps?!

My OH said the same thing!

Ahh I came in halfway through so missed all the history! What happened to her mother?

She got remarried 8 years ago and it was all they were talking about! Wanting her wedding to be like her mums!

Bored the norks off me tonight. Ended up buying Navy Blue tissue paper which was much more exciting!

I would have been devastated if that had been my wedding day. A mediocre house party is essentially what he planned. I actually think he messed up more than the Vegas guy! x

Oooh I haven't seen this one yet, I think I may download it just to see the car crash attempt at it!

It is where i live, i don't why he didnt just pick a venue in Exeter, so many nice places around but he chose 1 80 miles away!

Definietely the worst one in a long time....and yes what was going on with the cape/veil?!!!

I thought this series of DTTB had been quite tame up until now!!!

I always think this though! Surely you would do that!? Then he would just be subtle about pretending he was making it all up off the top of his head, and you get a free wedding just how you want it! Win-win! (ok so it's ot striiiictly in the spirit of the show....!)

I never understand how they can get it so wrong and yet the bride still claims she loves it....

she wanted a plain dress, he gave her BLING

she wanted a church, he gave her a cramped hotel room

she wanted a 3 course meal, they got meat rolls and homemade salads

she wanted traditional, they got a house party

and yet she was over the moon?!?!?!?

this programme makes me think i must bore OH to death with wedding talk as he knows exactly what i want as we ACTUALLY TALK as a couple...its like some of these couples have never discussed a wedding before but decided to get married as they can get it for free....

i sometimes think it should go to a couple that has been together 10 years desperate to marry but not been able to afford it rather than a couple that has only been together 2 years...they still have time to save, she obviously wasn't short of cash, her car was pretty nice for a 21 year old!

ranting over now x

Hmmm....just had a thought.

Do you think they DO talk before filming, decide on exactly what they want and then the BRIDE is the one who fakes wanting the exact opposite to make it a more interesting show?

A friend of a friend actually did the show and apparently the bride picks out 3 dresses she likes and the groom has to pick one of them and then the bride pretends she likes something the complete opposite so it makes him look bad! So i am sure it is similar to other things i.e. venues etc

Also they have to sign a contract before the show saying that they can't talk to each other before or during the 3 weeks (unless agreed by producers) otherwise they have to pay the £12,000 back!!!!

Do you seriously think that any girl in her right mind would not talk about the kind of dress she wants well in advance of applying for the show, let alone before filming? Not a chance.

I thought the whole day was terrible. He planned a giant house party! He said the legal ceremony wasn't important (oh my god it's the most important bit!). I cannot understand how she could've been happy.

But what really annoyed me was her constant complaining about not having a say in the wedding. She seemed to forget that they were having a £12,000 wedding FOR FREE! If she didn't like it, she should've had a long engagement and saved up the money herself, just like the rest of us! All the brides on this show make me think the same!

I completely agree with all the things you have said:

I don't think for one minute she didn't want a blingy wedding. I think the whole 'I want a plain dress' thing was a set up!

I thought he did a terrible job- the view was nice at the house but that was about it! As much as I love simon cowell I wouldn't pay to have a fake simon cowell at my wedding reception instead of nice food for the guests!

She really annoyed me crying as if it was some big tragedy that she didn't have any control over the wedding- don't go one the programme then, wait a few years and pay for the wedding yourselves like everyone else does!!

Her Mum also really annoyed me too- when she was upset and the bridesmaids kept trying to reassure her, all her Mum kept doing was emphasising the negative stuff- she clearly didn't like the OH!

As you can probably tell from my rant, this episode really irritated me!!

x

I'm glad it wasn't just me that got annoyed with them- I thought I was turning into a right old witch, haha!

TBH, I think she was a total drama queen! The wedding was terrible, but thats the risk you run isn't it?! It would be interesting to hear if anyone else knows of anyone that has taken part in the program- get the goss and all that!

I am catching up today and watching it through my fingers, this car crash T.V, I would never hand over my wedding to someone who gambled our rent money away, not even sure I would marry him!!
