Hi Ladies...

Earlier on in the year me and my other half got an application for Don't Tell The Bride... We filled it out but didn't send it because I chickened out (it was for the series that has just finished).

I got home from work today and i had a text message on my phone. As i was about to read it my stepmum rang and asked me if i had seen our local paper, it was asking for people from our area to apply for the next series of the show.
After I got off the phone from her i checked my text and the text was off one of my oldest friends asking me if i had seen the local paper for the exact same reason....

I spoke to my other half and he reckons we should apply for the next series...

What's your views on this?? Should we do it??
I'm scared, hahahahaha!!!

xxxx

Do it!!!! :D
I wouldn't but if you trust him and you were going to apply for it anyway :) x

DO IT!!! WOOOOOP!!
x

If you want to do it ! Go for it! Just have a chat with your hubby first and tell him what you would absolutely hate - but then let him do it! It'll certainly take the stress out of it and it'll save you a fortune! Plus, in every episode i've ever seen not matter how much we are led to belive the bride is going to hate it - it all works out fine in the end!

I'd be really interested to read that blog milz - would you post it on my wall for me if you find it? Thanks. xx

Thanks girls... Well i've taken the first step and got the application form... The other half has said he wants to do it...
He knows what I like and what I don't like... Just the thought of him picking the dress makes me feel a bit sick, haha.

The next step is filling the application out... I'll keep you updated :-)

Millz090 i would like to read that blog too if you can find it xxxx

I would defo go for it, is a wedding day to remember :-), think I may look on the net myself she if they are looking for people from my area hehe ... X

Ask yourself what kind of person you are. Do you need a wedding day done perfectly and just the way you've dreamed since a little girl? Because if so, you then need to ask yourself how will you feel if you get none of it. The girls on that show always seem confident in their grooms and think they will get something they want, sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.

Some girls on the show seem so happy that their guy has worked so hard and have a great day despite it being the opposite to what they originally said they wanted. If you can appreciate the day even if the colour scheme is the worst ever, and you have to jump out of a plane or something, then it's the show for you. You'll have a blast and save money. But if you might cry because you dreamed of something you didn't get, then think hard. Regretting your wedding day is something you'll have to live with. It's a personal choice for you.

I am not so easy going. My H2B would have me in some £50 dress so he could arrive in a helicopter or something silly! Haha

I applied about a year ago, got a telephone interview with producer asking questions to me and h2b there are four rounds to the interviews the application, the telephone call, the metting in london (i think) and then they visit your house so lengthy process, i would do it ovious lol just thinking i could have been married months ago and wouldnt of have to worry about money etc and saved pretty much everything for the last 2 years!! I just thought at the end of the day i just want to be married and atleast it would be aa wedding to remember even if it wasnt my perfect planned day... xx

I've jumped out of a plane too. But not sure I'd be up for it after I'd done my hair for the wedding day!

But if you are that relaxed about it then go for it, and let us know when it airs because I love that show! Have a positive attitude, you will get picked!

Sometimes your OH knows you alot better than you might think and will do things that are 'outside the box' that you never thought of. I say go 4 it and enjoy it. At the end of the day you 2 will be married and thats what counts. He would do it to make you proud.

GO FOR IT =:-D See if you get picked ive also wanted to apply to dont tell the bride but i wont be able to apply till 2016 as i am fussy on what day i want to get married and ive told my fiancee my wedding ideas but i dont know if he took note or really was listening to me so i dont know if i could trust him with my wedding i would if iw rote down every little detail and he followed it 100% there would be no problem co my day has to be perfect and i want to have fun these 4 years planning my wedding also my best friends would be upset i left them out of planning my wedding they want to help me create my perfect wedding and they know what im like and can go overboard so they will keep me in line they help me then after my wedding i got 4 to help plan i think wedding planning is a wonderful process and will get stress full at some point but it will all be worth it in the end i would also feel i missed out planning my wedding as i want to do it together with my fiancees input as well and my friends.

I heard the producers have almost split some of the couples up because they tell the groom one thing and tell the bride something else and as someone else said a lot of decisions are not made by the groom, they are made by producers because its better telly.

I wouldn't do it and only because of the above reasons and the fact that I know my parents wouldn't want it and neither would my fiance's father, however I do love watching it lol.

I wouldn't do it myself as so much in the last few series have been set up for tv I wonder how much of the day either of the couple enjoyed.
Also it appears that you have to be a little different to get on the show. Can't really say any from the last set of shows were chosen because they wanted "normal" weddings.
I wouldn't like to be filmed and on tv. And I most certainly wouldn't like to be split from H2B for three weeks either.
But each to their own, if you want to do and it sounds like your H2B is up for it then whats the harm in doing it.
Good luck.

I will post the link to the blog on my wall if anyone wants to read it but definitely shows a different light on the show....

I completely agree with Barbie86. Not having the right dress or a bad hen do or the wrong venue wouldn't bother me as long as i married h2b but the film crew intruding on my personal day and being in the way would irritate me and make it feel like a TV show and not my wedding.

I don't think it tells us much that we don't already know, though I have to say I didn't see that particular wedding. I would love it however if the couple from the famous Vegas wedding were to give their behind the scenes take on everything lol

Thanks Millz, an interesting read. Now that I've read his opinion I think i've changed my opinion and would be less likeyl to encourage someone to go on. Is it me or does anyone else think the programme has really changed since it first began?

I remember when it first started it was much more ordinary weddings and the drama was just things like "oh my god he picked an ugly dress" or "I've never have picked that digusting colour" or they'd just have a strange band or something more run of the mill. Now it just seems they want the most bizarre weddings and from that account they are only interested in the tv aspect. I totally understand it's a tv show but it's a little sad that the guy on that blog said he they didn't really tell him to start with how much control the production team would have - it sounds like he really struggled to get what he wanted which seems a little bit mean of the tv crew!

I guess it was kinda obvious that it would be like what the blog described but i was suprised to hear he had to check with them before he could even go and look at things! That seems a bit much!

Think i've changed my mind about thinking it sounds fun. Although I guess it depends on the individual and how strong a character you are to be able to stand up for yourself.

I'd be really interested to read more "behind the scenes" from the show, i'm going to see if I can find any so will be sure to post if I find some. x

Go for it, We should have done it as I amso chilled out. I would get married in my jeans if my H2Bwould let me. In fact, he has planned most of it anyway - even helped make the decs for the table.

Go for it! Me and my H2B were thinking of doing it but the only thing that stopped us was the thought of having a camera crew at our wedding. So if that wouldn't put you off then it's definitely worth doing it x x
