Own Vows / Four Weddings

uniquechic, 28 June, 2011 at 19:08 Posted on Planning 0 30

Hi Girlies!! I'm going on four weddings! Arrrrrrggghhh!!! Has anyone else been on the show? Some guests have said that having a crew there might spoil my day, although i've spoke with the producer & he advised me that it is not by any means intrusive. Any advise off any one that has been on the show or a nutural opinion? Thank You! Jemma xx

    So i guess by saying i'm brave that means you wouldn't? OMG!! I've just realised thousands of people will be watching not just 3 other brides ? I'm writing my own vows & i really want to say how i feel about him but worried it may sound cheesey!?

    TBH - I can't see how having a film crew and 3 random "brides" at my wedding would be anything other then distracting from the real meaning of the day.

    Not for me I'm afraid but each to their own! Just make sure you have really thought it through you can't undo it once it is done.

    I haven't taken the decision lightly & people will have various opinions but I have made the decision to have my day filmed & I will stick by that decision. I will say my deepest feeling in my vows, because I love him so much but suppose i need to forget about the other brides being there & focus on my original plans.

    I can't please my own mother let alone 3 other brides who want to win so might ruin me.. sorry honey! I would always want to be the nice bride as there always the nice one, the class A ***, the drinker and the one you feel sorry for!!

    Writing your own vows sounds lovely.. i think you just have to imagie that there not there..

    O and on a nosey point.. do they pay for you to go to the other weddings?? I'd like that bit ?

    I think i'd have to prep him to do everything i want but suppose that defeats the object of the show. My other half was fine with it (i make him watch it lol) Do you think your other half would do a good job of planning your special day?!

    I've always wondered what it'd be like to go on there, at least soon we'll have a better idea!

    i havent ever really watched that properly, but to be honest, i dont get it. surely you'd sit down with you oh and tell them EXACTLY what you want beforehand??

Honestly i thought i would love the whole wedding planning but i don't!! *red face & runs from the room*! Its all just to many decisions!! Luckily my sister CB is booking me to do things otherwise i would just hide from it all

    I agree, I think i get a better deal going on Four Weddings rather than Don't Tell The Bride. Although they give the groom £12k to blow & even if they got the big details right I'm sure they would forget the little details that all add up.

    Wow! Thats really cool!

    I wouldn't worry about what the film crew/other brides etc will think about your vows. Its all about you and your H2B so I would say just tell him how you feel in your vows.

    Good luck with your wedding. I really hope you win!

    Woweee!!! I think this is fantastic. Can't wait to see it.

    I always watch this program, and although my OH would never agree to it, I have always wondered what it would be like to be on the show, or know someone who had been on it.

    Good luck.

    And don't worry.

    Things I have learnt from watching the show is:

    Be yourself, and be honest, but not to the point of being blatantly rude.

    Never spit out your food or pull funny faces when the camera is looking.

    Enjoy yourself and be a fun part of the other brides days. (dont just sit in a corner)

    The more traditional style weddings seem to get the most votes (not that you would want to change your day just to win!) hehe

    I love watching four weddings and think you are really brave. The narrator is so funny. I guess when you are the bride appearing you are so excited/nervous about the wedding you forget the 2 faced other brides, film crew , sarcastic narrator criticising your nearest and dearest and mass audience who will be scrutinising your day. You will need thick skin to watch it when it is aired that is for sure but can get your own back on four weddings revisited. Are you going to vote tactically or honestly?

    Good luck hope you win the dream honeymoon, let us know when it will be aired.

    I think you're bonkers too! But it looks soooooooooooo much fun! Well done you! Adding to what Moonpie said;
    If they all slag you off when it's aired, start a massive 'debate' on Facebook!

    PS can I have your autograph?! HA HA HA!

    I can't think of anything worse than opening up such an important and personal day to randoms, camera crew and the scorn of the narrator. Each to their own!

    I feel so strongly that getting married is absolutely NOT a competition. It is a spiritual and legal commitment.

    Each to their own, but I know this would have debased the meaning of it all for us. We were offered a couple of media "interferences" and turned them down immediately.

    Please be sure it is what you both want to do, and of your reasons for doing it.
