Don't Tell the Bride

After seven years of engagement, a couple receive a £12,000 wedding grant, but the money comes with a stipulation: the groom must plan the entire ceremony by himself. He is left to organise every aspect of the nuptials alone, under a tight deadline.

is a programme presented in the form of a single episode. It follows the familiar format of the series, focusing on the lives of ordinary people as they navigate unusual circumstances. The episode’s title mirrors the names of the central couple, signalling that the story will revolve around their relationship and the challenges they face together. The core of the episode centres on a pair who have been engaged for seven years. They are offered a £12,000 contribution towards their wedding, but the grant comes with a strict condition: the groom‑to‑be must take full responsibility for organising the ceremony on his own. This stipulation means that, while the couple receives a substantial financial boost, the future husband is left to handle every detail of the nuptials without any input from his partner. The arrangement effectively places the entire planning burden on the groom, turning what would normally be a joint endeavour into a solo project. The £12,000 sum is earmarked specifically for wedding expenses, yet the only requirement attached to it is that the bride‑to‑be steps back while the groom arranges everything. The episode therefore tracks how the man copes with the task of coordinating the event alone, highlighting the dynamics that emerge when one partner is given sole control over a milestone that is typically shared.
