It's a bit pukesville so far.

Anyone else watching?

FreudianSlippers · 28-09-2010 10:05PM

Nope, but the British one can be quite funny.

Is that Amy Hubermann narrating.. she's annoying, I'll give her that.

Is that who it is?

I was wondering who the desperate narrator was!

Fly-on-the-wall documentary in which Anthony Eames is given 10,000 euros to plan every detail of his forthcoming wedding, without any help from his bride Doireann O'Connor. However, with his fiancee out of the picture, the groom-to-be is left at the mercy of his future mother-in-law.

I dont really get it.. RTE give them 10k if he organises everything and they get to video it, is that the whole premise... Why would you want to sell your wedding day is beyond me....

Narrator sounds like she is doing voiceover for an insurance advert.

Diddler1977 · 28-09-2010 10:24PM

Oh good god....

lisnsooz · 28-09-2010 10:28PM

I don't get it either - and how can they do this in three weeks? Surely the couple know how hard it is to get the perfect everything for under 10K and within 3 weeks. Most bridal places insist on ordering way in advance, what happens to marriage course if it's in an RC church (as this episode seems to be) and all in all - why would any bride put herself thru that torture when they keep showing candid shots of the girl reminiscing about her dream wedding. How did she not discuss this with him before they had to throw away the mobile phones?! I think am analysing this too much....

JonathanAnon · 28-09-2010 10:29PM

Going through the bargain rail for the bridesmaid's dresses... Even the bridesmaid look mortified. :eek:

What's next in the series.... When your grandma dies, see if you can get her waked and buried for less than 500 euro?

demakinz · 28-09-2010 10:29PM

the girlfriend had the british one on earlier and He had a Christmas theme in september.

i couldnt be that hard to know what your girlfriend wants

I think you are spot on....

Groom seems like a nice fella but jeez it's fairly boring..... think it is the commentary that's the worst (both what she is saying and the way she is saying it)

Princess Peach · 28-09-2010 10:33PM

I really liked the English one, but I'm fairly bored!

Diddler1977 · 28-09-2010 10:35PM

Mother in Law on the war path!!!!

amdublin · 28-09-2010 10:35PM

He's well able to handle the ma in law anyway

Diddler1977 · 28-09-2010 10:37PM

Dress looks a lot better on then off.

yeah - it's not so much commentary more than storyteller - she keeps getting interrupted by the actual people the who is about :rolleyes:

and that dry wry humour - how witty and Irish it is.

I dunno - still don't get it. OK - I know they had no money for a wedding, but still - how much stress is this generating for everyone?! I'm really hoping for them he pulls it off!!! It's getting a bit edge-of-seat... they're both nice people and it's starting to get a bit car-crash- would be probably more hilarious if she was a demented bridezilla and he was a complete plonker who thought everything was totally MAHVELLOUS DAHLING.

OMG - the mum's face with the dress - uh-oh

amdublin · 28-09-2010 10:38PM

Do they do all the hand holding in the English version aswell???

Not really.

This pair need to be told to get a room.

Neadine · 28-09-2010 10:40PM

Car crash TV.

I don't get people who would willingly get involved in a production like that. And for the sake of measly 10K.

amdublin · 28-09-2010 10:41PM

Doireann's the spit of her mother!

At the beginning of the show the groom said he reckoned people thought Doireann was cute.

Yeah I dont get it.. Knowing how big a day it is, particularly in a woman's life, I dont know why oh why you would a) sell it and b) risk it being a mess by letting this fool organise it.

Narration is intrusive, corny, cliché and badly intonated ..

Um.

Like she's a nice girl and all.

amdublin · 28-09-2010 10:47PM

Poor fella

lisnsooz · 28-09-2010 10:48PM

I have to say - she's remarkably relaxed about everything - I would be freaking at this stage and I definitely wouldn't be happy with the bridesmaid laughing about leaving the shoes behind. I guess you just have to keep your eye on the end result (marriage) and not try and get too stressed about other stuff (everything else).

Diddler1977 · 28-09-2010 10:49PM

"If the shoes don't arrive Hannah may get the boot"

What a stupid comment. Shut up Amy!

amdublin · 28-09-2010 10:49PM

Why is this program on so late?

Would it not get a better audience around 7.30 in the eve?

Diddler1977 · 28-09-2010 10:49PM

"Not the best man's best idea"

Another Gem from Amy....

amdublin · 28-09-2010 10:50PM

Did the groom pick out those bridesmaid dresses?

They look nice...

It's being aired by RTE, of course it couldn't be shown at the correct slot.
