Me and my bf just got engaged he just proposed this 25.08.2012 to me in Coventry football game on a front of 10 000 football fans it was soo romantic that the News papers printed it out and write a story and some other magazines are intrested in it. We do worry a lot now as I'm Czech and he is English. My country has a a lot of traditions and I would love to have them on our Day. One of the traditions is to get married in fallowing year and the best the day the man proposed. We are in cycle of IVF at the moment. I'm losing jobs because of my health problems which are interfering with my work. I'm only you would call a help : Cleaner but I don't mind the job until I'm in huge pain as I suffer from Endo. We are over the moon to be picked for free 2 IVF from NHS because we wouldn't be able to save up for it. Now as we are engaged we would love to try this show as we both like it and enjoy it and it would financially help us as we have no idea if the IVF will work and if it would than all the money we have, need to go towards the little Angel. Some couples have bigger problems with money etc and if there is a huge opportunity to get the day you dream'd of all you're life by a help from BBC than the both site are satisfied. I know we could just do some small wedding, but what woman would of been happy and satisfied to have a pub wedding with a sandwiches only anti wedding and anti romantic can write rubbish like this. Good luck to every single one of you ladies or gent's who are getting married or just did it. Hope you all will be happy.

Well 'pay your way' you can always stop paying your TV License and then you will only have to pay a max of £1000, instead of £12,000 (fine that is). Or perhaps you could just watch something else and stop moaning. It is their life and it is entertainment.

These brides howl and wail when things are not as they expected and long before they even know what is happening they howl with anxiety. I have no sympathy for them as they know what they have signed on for. The grooms are either idiots or mummy's boys and complete wimps. Few of them are sensitive enough to realise that the wedding is not about them; it is about HER. The groom is just the paid extra. But the thing that makes me laugh is that although the groom does not have a clue, they always seem to do a good job, which shows men can be creative when they want to be. And for the ones that really get it wrong: have they never discussed with their partners who they live with at any time what their ideal wedding would be? How can you marry someone and not know them or their tastes and dreams? However, that does not give the production team leave to mess around and muck things up. What if it had really gone wrong and the bride had have refused to get married as they sent the cars away?

if you dont like it dont watch you have more than one channel. most people save for years for a wedding and often get into debt in the process, if someone has the chance to have their dream wedding then they should go for it. Grow up! if you're that bothered dont buy a licence. good look to anyone who gets on the show and can have a little help at their dream.

me & my partner recently got engaged, and was thinking of applying for the show, as me currently being in training at work not earning that much money, and him currently out of work - it would take us years to save. reading some of these comments about what the production team do and change ect has made me realise it's really not worth it. WE know we're going to spend our lives together, we have NO rush to get married, although I cannot wait and it will be amazing to finally be married and have the big day, we have eachother & I know no matter how much it costs, where it is and how soon it is, as long as it's us & our family, it will be the most perfect day of my life.

We can all afford to get married , i work full time as a shop manager, i have a wealthy dad who ive spoken to but never actually met and my partner comes from a poor background , we can barely afford to live and it annoys me that i can afford to wed , especially when ive a so called dad who i would never be able to get a penny from . Ive applied to DTTB as its our only way we can afford a wedding worthy of the love i have for my partner , yes we could just spend a couple of hundred quid on a registry office etc but id like to make it a memorable day for her , something that ill not be able to do unless i win the Euromillions .

my god ur a douche! you dont have a clue about her life!
marriage before is great... marriage after is for me more beautiful... the children from the love you share can be apart of the wedding.

very narrow minded very rude and very hurtful!
Children are a beautiful thing in a relationship - how dare you turn what should be the most beautiful thing into a dirty chavy thing!

watch or switch off! — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 05:33:57 -0000

what do you think about other things the bbc spends money on for the publics entertainment? things like makeover shows, game shows etc? its still on the air so clearly were enjoying it by giving them good ratings.

Also... why dont you apply if your that peeved about free weddings lol? jeeze!
people win wedding/holiday and cash competitions on tv by pressing a red button on their remote (no money is paid in from them to enter) is that so terrible too?
what about that stupid big brother lol the amount of money that goes into all that?

tv shows cost money ... but its entertainment for us and most of us like it!

yes love is what counts in a wedding but still there is always "the dream". little girls dream of the perfect wedding, its a big deal! meant to be once in a lifetime... people try to show how beautiful their love is through a wedding. so just enjoy the bloody show or switch off!

Wanted to add some personal experience here.
Clearly, the production company (not the BBC) did 'create problems' in the first stages of the now long-running programme's history.
In fact, I know they went way beyond that and stirred up all sorts of emotions and trouble.
I hope that the comments that started this discussion have contributed to what I now understand is a much more happy and relaxed ordeal for couples involved in more recent programmes.
I know the couple in the first ever programme pretty well, and I know that they are BOTH nice people and that they loved each other very much and wanted to marry but did not have the money.
I know the bride was a bit of a closet actress and said that she would 'make sure they had a good programme' in return for the £12,000.
Given the comments since written about her and the legacy of what has made the production company a good deal of money, it was payment indeed.
Nuff said really.

Good luck to everyone who takes it on in future.

Afford. It's like everything, if you can only affor to spend £100 on your wedding day, you either have to save and wait until you can afford what you want, or, if you want to get married now, you need to have a smaller wedding - simple!

I'm marrying the father of my child next year. We're lucky enough that we have enough money to get the things we want, but we have to work hard for it. I'm a teacher and he's in management. We're 23 and 25, but have saved our money to buy our house (we've nearly paid off our mortgage 5 years into it) and we buy things for our daughter.

However, we've had to go without things to be able to afford what we want, and we've had to make sacrifices. We've spent £8,000 on our wedding, but you have to have what you can afford. My h2b's parents just had a registry office wedding with close family and then went for a pub meal because that was all they could

The people who say that young people should just save are the same people who think society is going wrong because of all the young people who have kids out of marriage. They also complain about women leaving having kids until later (when they can afford it) because they are not maternal. The same who think women are terrible for staying home with their young kids while also blasting them for leaving them to go to work! The same people who think young people in debt just to have the simple things they dream of like a wedding are bad people.
Glad to see most people have some sense on here :D

It's so funny how ignorant you are and what a bitter person you are!
Firstly your TV license is used to make many programmes which pay people to appear on them. A huge amount more than what if provided on this programme.
Secondly, for someone who preaches so much you don't have much intelligence. The BBC is not the company that creates this show. It doesn't put up all the money either.
While it is great to hear about 'back in your day' you just sound bitter that a small number of people get given money to go on a show. There have always been people who get more than others. Some people have rich parents, others win competitions and some take opportunities when they come around.

Do you begrudge every young person who's parents decide to pay for their wedding? Those people get their wedding on a plate for them in addition to a much better lifestyle and yet that is acceptable. They are the biggest drains of other people's money and yet you don't compain about the rich kids.

It's hardly at your expense is it? Seriously it's like someone has taken you for your life savings just to fund this programme! Go complain about the huge amounts of your money the BBC uses for pointless things. You'll soon see this is nothing in comparison.

Not everyone has rich parents, ever thought of that? So many young people are struggling to find any sort of job let alone one that allows them to save for their dream wedding.
That's TV for you, people get paid to appear on programmes every single day for your entertainment and you don't seem to be complaining about that one do you?

You sound so ignorant it's unbelievable and it is so obvious you are envious. Did daddy not give you enough money? Get a life!

peeved license payer — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 08:37:29 -0000

Once again its free for you. But at the expense of everyone one else as its TV LICENSE payers that provide that £12,000 and i for one am peeved that i'm being ripped off for a license to pay for wedding of strangers. when i only watch one program a week on a bbc channel and the rest of the time its SKY! which i pay for too!
Too many people think about them self's me and my wife saved for 5 years and went without most things but we enjoyed our day much more than if it was handed on a plate at someone else's expense. As for the father of the bride paying its 2012 not 1912. The days when the father of the bride paid are long gone in those days they were thankful for a church wedding and a pub lunch.

From what i've heard a lot of the time the grooms pick what the bride wants, but are taken aside by the production team and told they can't have that because its what the bride wants and he's made to change it.

Excuse me? Have you never thought that maybe it's the one and only chance loving couples have to afford their wedding.
