Don't Tell The Bride

I began watching this program after I read a dooyoo review about it and now I am totally hooked. I love to watch reality television and this is a show like none I have ever seen before. I love weddings and after getting married myself 4 years ago I know first hand everything that goes into organising a wedding. After reading someone else's review on this show I just had to watch it. Don't Tell The Bride is a television show that can be found on BBC3 on a Wednesday night at 8pm. It lasts for an hour and is a reality show where a couple are getting married but it is the groom that is planning the wedding with a totally unsuspecting bride. The groom is given ...  Read the complete review

Don't tell the Bride is a programme that I opt in and out of. The format consists of a bride and groom to be who are given £12,000 provided it is agreed that the groom is left to arrange the wedding solo. The couple are then separated for the duration of the programme up until the day of the wedding, which leaves emotions riding high, particularly on the part of the bride to be. The profile of the couples on the show are the same every week; usually a low income couple with a young family to raise and generally under the age of 30. For me what I find the most entertaining about the show is watching the men and their closest friends trying to pick ...  Read the complete review

****The format**** The format of the show is pretty simple. In a nutshell, the bride to be leaves the couples' home (the couple already live together in every show I have seen) leaving the groom to be to organise the whole wedding, and by whole it means everything. From the dress to the shoes to the suits to the cake to the ceremony to the reception to the entertainment to the honeymoon. The groom is responsible for everything and the bride is expected to sit there and wonder what her big day has in store for her. Being a reality TV program the whole process is filmed throughout, and whilst this is intrusive, the bride and groom get given £12,000 ...  Read the complete review

I came across this programme by accident one day and ending up watching it as it couldnt be bothered getting up to change the channel. Since then i have watched every episode of this programme that i can get my hands on and think its brilliant. If you have never heard of Dont Tell the Bride, it is a reality wedding show that can be seen on BBC Three. This is included in my Sky package. The show isnt like any other wedding show though as there is one small detail. The bride has to sign a contract to let the groom plan the entire wedding himself and if he does the programme will give him £12,000 towards their dream wedding! I think if i ...  Read the complete review

This is fast becoming one of my favourite programs to watch! Basically a couple wanting to get married sign up for the show on the conditions that it is the man who will organise everything in 3 weeks, usually with a budget of £12,000. (Sometimes they add in their own savings as well! The are not allowed to communicate or see their partners throughout the 3 weeks and they cannot share any information about the wedding with them. The bride is completely clueless about everything! The man has to decide evrything, cake, dresses, venue, guests, invites, cars. What usually makes me laugh everytime I watch the programme is that more often than not, they ...  Read the complete review
