Don’t Tell The Bride

18 Aug

New series! Yeah. I love this show.

And it started with a good one. No excuses if you haven’t heard of it, get on the iPlayer.

It’s the 4th series of this BBC3 show. It follows an engaged couple who agree to part for the three weeks leading to their wedding. They get £12, 000 but the groom has to plan the whole thing himself.

It’s not necessarily car crash TV, I love the happy endings. Mostly, I just like looking at people’s weddings.

4/5

    Jesus H Christ. These women are just not grateful at all, are they? Their men try their hardest, they get their wedding paid for them, and they still bitch and moan about everything.
    If you’re that bloody picky, don’t apply to be on the show!

    The Mother of the Bride (Nicky & Nathan) is a absolute nightmare. She should be ashamed of herself, its her daughters day not hers. Hope she feels embarrassed when she sees her behaviour

    Just watched Steven and Kayleigh episode “shut up”… the language that came out of that “wannabe wags” mouth was disgusting, ok everyone swears but not on national tv! I hope she doesn’t talk like that in front of her children and what is that thing on her head?

    These girls (in general) are just so damn ungrateful… £12k for a wedding (FREE), all they have to do is leave their grooms to pick it. I’d let my OH do anything he wanted if it meant we could afford to get married.

    Worst episode of the series!!! Sack that narrator!! If they have decided to go on that show then they know what they are letting themselves in for, they know their fella will be organising the wedding and they should be bloody grateful that hes doing it and that they are getting it for free!!!!!! Amanda was such a diva poor fella!!! As for the narrator, so negative!! We all know in the end everything will work out like it does in every episode yet the narrator is so negative trying to make you think oh everything terrible and oh no can he do it and make it a good wedding, eh yes!! Like I say we all know its all going to work out in the end! I love this show, this episode annoyed me though!!

    • RockChic November 9, 2011 at 8:37 pm #

      too true!!! the narrator just needs to give some POSITIVE feedback sometimes!!!

  11. RockChic November 9, 2011 at 8:36 pm #

    love this show. but can’t understand why some of the groom’s don’t even know their brides enough to know their favourite colour!!!

      how did you apply?

  16. Korina November 17, 2011 at 5:23 pm #

    I’m not sure if it’s been done before (I don’t think it has) but I’d love to see an older couple, or a couple with a large age gap, take part in DTTB. As there have been quite a few series’ now I think that angle might be good for putting a fresh spin on things.

    • Debbie November 17, 2011 at 5:41 pm #

      I totally agree (it was my idea!!)

      • Korina November 17, 2011 at 6:37 pm #

    Just watched the ‘Christmas in Wonderland’ one. Don’t think it was on that she changed the dress should’nt have been allowed. I thought the whole point of this show was that the wedding is organised by the groom. Doesn’t seem much point in the groom organising it if the bride is just going to change everything anyway surely defeats the purpose of the show, she changed the hotel as well. Perhaps the couple getting married should lose all funding if they make changes like these so that they keep to the spirit of the show.

    I love is show and think most of them make it so funny and i wud love 2 go on the show 4 my wedding x

    how do you apply for don’t tell the bride?

  30. Jana January 31, 2012 at 8:08 pm #

    Just watched recorded episode 2/6 with Paula and Rodney. And recognised there Rodneys sister and other family members. Not long ago they desperately needed “60 minutes makeover” !!!! It was one of very rare families, who wanted to change at home ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. What an unlimited greed. Do programm managers really are not checking out those things? I am sure, there would be plenty more people, who would love to take a part just in one of theese programms and left some chances for others as well.

  31. tayz February 13, 2012 at 9:03 pm #

    Wow i love don’t tell the bride its excellent and i love Ashley so much!I wish i could marry him!

  32. tayz February 13, 2012 at 9:14 pm #

    Can anyone tell me the track played when Anna & Sian had their first dance?? “It was just a kiss from you” was the main lyric – sounded like an old soul track?

      when trying to send application back to dont tell the bride it sends back the application form again fom the automated server is this meant to happen? did it happen to everybody else?

      • janie white July 27, 2012 at 6:59 pm #

        no, i think it means they didnt receive your paplication, try it again

  39. janie white July 27, 2012 at 6:58 pm #

    for everyone asking how to apply, google it and it comes up!
    on bb3, they give you an email address, simply email, send anything, cos the applications are sent out by automated reply. Fill it in, send it back and wait.
    IF they want on the show they ring , if not you dont hear anything back.
    Easy as that
