Curious because last week the grooms spent a whack of money going to Thailand for the suits/dress/stag night. This week the stag's night took place in a strip club in London whilst the hen's party was two days worth of activities. Quite a lot of money not spent on the actual wedding (it can be argued to be a part of the wedding, but the priorities of these grooms in particular aren't right).
Anyway, if these people are engaged and the wedding a few weeks away, they'd surely have talked about what they want anyway and/or made plans and the husbands should use the opportunity, as well as the free £12,000 to do exactly what the couple want. If he uses it for silly things and stuff that the bride won't like, that's more a statement about their relationship and the type of person the husband is more than anything!
Yes, the formula's getting a bit threadbare now.
Like any reality programme this will be produced down to the last detail. The producers will coax every last bit of info out of the groom to make it look like his idea ('Where did you guys meet? At the council dump? Great, ever thought of getting married there?')
As well as the inevitable soppy ending, there's always the mad mate who's closer to the groom than the bride will ever be. His role is to push the groom to be really selfish, have a theme the bride will hate and go on a krazy stag do. And of course no-one ever discusses menus, photographers, seating plans, cakes, music or any of the other million things a wedding involves.
But everybody gets their 50 minutes of fame I guess, and that's what it's all about.
I agree though you would agree beforehand what to do. I know i would.
Trust me, i'd say in at least 75% the couple clearly haven't discussed it beforehand.
Agreed!
It wouldn't surprise me if the producers this series have been pushing for the grooms to find their bride's dress on Ebay/Abroad e.t.c to create more drama.
Anybody want to get married? Haha
I would say there has to be a legal marriage at the end of it.
What i would do is go on there with my oh pretending i wanted a big traditional wedding and get him to plan a vegas wedding.
That way you get a free holiday. Probably have to spend our own money for spending money but its the easiest way. You could pretty much lump anything you wanted to do as the "wedding".
The bloke who did that had the right idea as he had his stag do there
I think the people who plan the abroad weddings get the best deal out of the show.
Sort of the point. The point is to have a wedding and no-one could argue that the stag and hen do aren't major parts of a wedding these days.
I did say that in my first post about it being part of the wedding.
So what's the issue with them spending money on a stag do then?
I mean even when we watch it we talk about the type of wedding we would like and I'm sure brides would have made the groom aware of what she wants. It's sensationalism and either the story of a selfish groom or a bride who acts like it wasn't her perfect wedding.
On a side not, the guy who went to Thailand was an utter prick!
Apart from the dress this week - it turned out very well and a great ad for the Eden project too.
I don't know him, but I live about 10 minutes from his Flat {brother in law even managed him in the local football team} and less than 100 yards from his flat, is a Bridle Shop, one more, just round the corner.
Just goes to show he knows nothing about his bride after such a short time together!
If he books a hen do for her at a local spa but she plans on going on a club crawl then they dont get that paid for. If he books a hotel for the ceremony and she does too then they win that part.
I much prefer that wedding show where two constrasting couples have to plan a joint wedding where every detail is the same otherwise they dont get a wedding at all. You get goths paired up with princesses trying to come to a compromise between pink puffy dresses and death metal rock bands for entertainment.
It was big of her Mum to say in the end it was probably the best wedding she'd ever been to, but her big sister...
How the groom could even consider that guy as being best man is beyond belief. I guess we had an insight as to why the bride did not like him.
