mercy met it technician james at college and it was love at first sight do you remember the first date we met yeah computer no did you remember that was the cafeteria no that was no okay you didn't specifically meet me but that's where our eyes met and i was like the longest they've ever been apart is five days i just jumped on it i was like baby don't ever go i never want to leave you again and it's clear who manages who around here some phillips no for those ones it's going to be very hard for me to let go because i'm involved in everything every decision making about the house or you know about the pills across the road look at that a little gorgeous not today josephine merci would be like okay well should we do this maybe i know we don't i don't say shall we do i end up saying we're doing this well this is what it comes to yeah if you look finished i'm sorry troll again low and behold going to pay for it now he's gone um i don't actually have your card why don't you just tell me that about 15 minutes ago when we're shopping i know can disorganize james prove his future wife wrong oh just great just great i i like to think i'm the foreman you can't get any more laid back than james this is my time for me to for me to assert myself he needs something behind him literally just to push him because he's just way too laid back i can i can do it just lead me to it and i'll sort it out but the stakes are high mercy's been dreaming about her wedding since she was three my personality is very big so my in terms of my wedding i would like entertainment to be very flamboyant so i would like you know las vegas dancers and you know casino tables and you know fire breathers fireworks i would want all of that [Music] if james gets it wrong i will be serving you divorce papers it's time for the couple to say goodbye [Music] drive safely okay [Music] the biggest day of mercy's life is now in james's hands and he's feeling the pain already just lost a piece of me it's only three weeks but it's tough it's just but here comes help in the shape of little bro and best man shane hey yeah [Music] oh [Music] for the next three weeks mercy is staying with her sister dulce in birmingham london and she's already fretting about her man i do have faith in james but because he's never been given an opportunity to organize anything quickly i don't know what he can produce because he has never had the opportunity to produce anything for all i know he could be really really like stressed out and low and i can't be there for him and that hurts me he could be stressed but he's not that's the third one now oh my gosh yeah are you confident that you've got everything planned out in your head no no oh gosh oh yeah day two and the boys have sorted hangovers feeling a bit rough this morning got a bit of a dodgy stomach i don't know where the drinks aren't too much i think i need a couple more sleep and i'll be i'll be all right hopefully we can get something sorted by the looks of james i don't think you can think of anything today with half the morning gone it's dawning on the boys how clueless james is about weddings and more worryingly his bride do you know what size shoes are um yeah okay yeah sure yeah i think yeah i see oh my gosh wow first he needs a venue it's quite memorable james likes them all and just can't make a call a zoo you really want to go be good man most of you would keep your finger around see the monkeys in there before you get before you tie the knot the next day and james has finally whittled it down to two available venues yeah i think so first up the addison community centre in bedford i wouldn't like to have a community hall um or any where there's loads of car parks it's not bad location it's doable yeah yeah that's ample parking the first thing you see is just a car park flowers there yeah that fits my um my greenery criteria but does it fit mercies oh my gosh look at the shade because this is her dream venue [Music] it's amazing 900 year old leeds castle set in 500 acres of rolling kent parkland yes rapunzel let down your hair greenery as far as i can see everything i wanted is actually here i'm completely breathless you cannot feel it any more special than this you just can't you couldn't feel any more special than this no you couldn't you know what you want and you you tick that box and if it doesn't tick the butts then there's going to be tears and there won't be tears of joy looks like james is going to be needing a lot of tissues it's a bit dark isn't it oh sure that'd be sorted out nice bit of strategic lighting a few candles won't turn this into a castle but that's not putting james off if we do have a band have the band up there dancers and he's not the only one letting his imagination run wild you need a butler yes i would all for a day all for a day it's your special day though yes yes once in a lifetime you want something like this for once in a lifetime wouldn't you princess mercy has fallen in love with her fairytale castle it's ticked all the right boxes every single one of my five page list well you couldn't get much more than did you have a five page list i did have a five page list that list has been growing since i was about three you know it's not just something that just popped out of my head now since yeah james is more focused on the bottom line it's 600 quid we'll give it a go i can't believe how cheap it was yeah yeah that's brilliant i mean gosh imagine if more weddings were that cheap and that simple yeah just imagine mercy's face fortunately james still has one more venue to visit will it be the rural idle that mercy wants not really he's heading for south london we're stepping in the right direction and i think that's probably why i feel a little bit more at ease dullich college is licensed to hold civil ceremonies in this reports very nice only problem is mercy wants a church she's brought best friend asimo to all saints in maidstone kent because of my religious christianity beliefs i want to be able to do it properly it would be perfect for like the whole your family and for you to get married here and my dad my dad would be so proud so you just want to start your like mavic life [Music] in this way at dullich college james is checking out the room used for civil ceremonies nice and dusty [Music] i'm just it it looks nice i'm just trying to picture it all now i'm such a weak imagination shame it's a library there's not a steeple in sight i'm liking this i mean it's just one room really isn't it but it's it's i can picture this yeah she's good [Music] james seems oblivious to what really matters to mercy this is a very cheeky question we only budgeted two and a half let me just see if i can do something else it's not too over budget so james splashes the cash that'll be lovely yeah perfect revelation for us today a decision at last i think it's just a case pulling a few things back in a few places but which places especially when your bride wants the best of everything princess mercy is having a cinderella moment with best mate asima so these would be quite nice do you like that probably yeah they're shiny sparkly this girl has a thing for bling what kind of shoes do you think joseph's gonna get you i don't know i think i think he's gonna go for sparkle he knows what i'm like with the shoes he knows i like sparkle what else do you think he's like i'm not cooking with everything getting everything given the time skills he's probably got the venue done now that's it mesa does end up doing everything so james takes the back seat james like likes to you know just eat and plays computer and so this is well up his comfort zone in fact he's so far out of his comfort zone he can't see it anymore that must be why he's throwing caution to the wind with mercy's transport if i want to see the surprise you got for me my dream transport to the wedding will be a white bentley convertible or my horse and carriage that you can have a sort of grand entrance it has to be really really big from very grand just like my personality really and entrances don't come much bigger than by carnival elephant wow so um she'd be able to drive this would she oh god i can't lift my leg up oh boy well i could imagine making an entrance on this and you you're right oh man this will be out of this world [Music] yeah exactly this is the thing i think she can i would say wow you've you've really kind of got creative and got imaginative and pulled out the bag ask me you're a bloody bad man what the heck was i thinking then they stand to you man i i think it's a good idea are they all i don't want to kill my bride before before before i get to mariah well you better ensure i'll just leave it up to you yeah you let me know but let me know absolutely you know yeah yeah yeah yeah okay well soonish yeah i'll let you know as as soon as i can i feel like i'm sitting on cody [Laughter] nearly a sixth of his budget that's one mahousive gamble i don't think we should chance that no no we do well no i don't think we should charge you yeah exactly not only has poor old james got to make mercy happy he's got to keep her traditional nigerian family on side too so do you want to have like a traditional white waiting dress yeah and then another gym yeah after so what do you want to see your vows in my wedding dress my original western dress and then i didn't get changed into your nigerian and start yeah doing it yeah older sister olu had a traditional nigerian wedding and mercy wants james to prove that he has a handle on their family traditions too because my parents are going to be watching him so he needs to get that right that's wonderful i want my window but james comes from a west indian background and they do it different in the windies i have absolutely no idea how long them kind of integrate the uh the specifics of nigerian culture into the wedding it's going to be an interesting one where to start trying to get those together is gonna be um gonna be difficult it's gonna be hard to pull off everyone's gotta wear the same color as a hedgerow well at least yeah can you see everyone's in pretty much his own color do you think he knows that no daddy can you see you you should be mad yeah can you not see oh my god [Laughter] sadly james can't fly to lagos on his budget so he's off to the next best thing brixton market he needs traditional wedding costumes for both him and his bride i don't want to get it wrong i'm going to get there and everybody's like oh my gosh what has he done it's not just the nigerian box he has to tick the colour he chooses needs to be specific to mercy's family's tribe nigeria and um i have no idea where to start faced with a rainbow of colours and fabrics james considers looking pretty in peach i could imagine that looking all regal yeah but he's no idea if peach would be an insult to his bride to checkery tribe did you not do any research before you came out not as much as i thought i needed to [Music] this boy needs someone to save his bacon i just need an idea of where to go and what to look for she's checking i'm not sure if you know it's a very small tribe okay now do you know what part of our journey okay that's not too far from where i'm from okay you can get a lot of those kind of things in west london petticoat lane james the novice nigerian tries petticoat lane and has the good fortune to fly straight into the safe hands of an african angel is usually core color pinkish wine okay okay colors like that yeah so if we go with something like that that would be nice how about dusky pink then usually african men don't wear pink you understand so what about um something like this one here just one along the bottom this one yeah yes you can wear them i see james might look like a plunker in pink but it seems they can both carry off champagne drunk on his success it's not long before james is thinking of getting mercy the matching bridal head time hold your horses mate you haven't even bought her white wedding dress yet all right either way i'm gonna blow my budget with this tell me what's your budget like how much do you want to spend i would say all in all everything 300 so the material and then the outfits 300. in africa wedding no body should outstand you nobody should dress more than your bride your bride should stand out to afford the standout dress james has got to lose the head tie let's hope his princess won't chop off his head [Music] but his bride expects two dresses surely he'll find it easier to choose a white one nope have you any idea on fabrics whether you like lace or satin quite quickly i need to be decisions just aren't james's thing she's quite girly yeah she's quite girly fitted stuff um yeah yeah yeah a lot of fitted stuff really that narrows it down so which one do you prefer out of these two all three of them in fact i think i like the reverse on this one like like this on this one and i like that top part on that so it's just like yeah let's just mash it all together although we'll have a perfect dress [Music] mercy however knows exactly what she wants and her bridesmaids dulce and natalie seem to agree look beautiful you look really really beautiful it's got the neckline that you want it's got everything it's even got the train yeah no that that's really really lovely it's really lovely it's big it's bold it makes a statement when i walk through a room it's it's still elegant because i i am a very elegant lady and it's just got everything about me attached to this dress if only james could be that decisive getting the woman's dress it's going to be oh they're all they're all really nice in their own unique way but it's like a picture of coming in and bursting into tears just saying princess mercy's found her fairy tale dress a hand beaded ivory gown with a chapel length train it's quite flamboyant it's very fairy tale all topped off with a diamante tiara you look like a princess i do feel like princesses i'm actually going to throw the biggest tattoo in the world if i don't get it so you don't know anything that she would like about a dress no gosh what'd you do when she talks to you i told you i just ignore it it's just that little it's like a little little jingle going on the back of that homosexuality that'd be a lesson for the men out if i can go back in time sadly james doesn't have a tardis this is the neighborhood it can make or break yeah the wedding no pressure i think i made my mind up already yeah well the first one was i think it's better amazing james has made the first quick decision of the week but is it the right one i know you don't make up your mind because you don't want to do another day with this don't just i i like mate making do isn't in mercy's dictionary worst case scenario if he gets you a dress that you really don't want to wear what are you going to do i will go to my sister's house i'm going to put some jeans on i'm going to put a t-shirt on i will be coming down the aisle with high heels on and a tiara that's what i would do because i would not be wearing it so what's it gonna be james um that one this one yes this one we can do for 800. okay deal done this reluctant groom is now the proud owner of two wedding dresses and all for thirteen hundred quid there are over one thousand individual decisions to be made for the average wedding so far james has made three and he has less than two weeks till the big day does she ever said to you a particular flowers that she really likes or have you ever been to weddings together where she's going oh that's really nice no i don't think that's been the case where yeah well this is it yeah i just i just kind of tend to zone out after a while good thing this groom has a new strategy letting other people make his decisions for him the caterer has chosen a three grand menu without james even picking up a fork i've just seen spring roll though to the end and charlemagne is that is that common amongst people it is you find that most black people the easiest takeaway for them to do with chinese yep spring roll and chop suey that's traditional nigerian isn't it and after a chinese of course you want a wedding cake yeah so if we go for the three tiers um both yeah both both sponge and um and fruit you're putting a little figurines on top oh yeah yeah that'll be lovely yeah whatever you could do to make it look nice would be it would be great he's not fussed with dina yeah i'm just like ah headache everybody that's not as big as the headache he's going to have when he realizes he's forgotten one of the most important wedding when are we essentials to get the invitation to give to friends i don't know i don't know no i don't know his guests don't just need a time and a place nigerian tradition dictates that they match their outfits to the colour scheme which should be on the invites no don't worry about it all right then see you later hi i've had this vision in my mind that i do want you know some of the family to wear nigerian way they need to go and get their outfits made they need to go and get their jewelry to match their outfits they need to go and get their shoes their bag everything's got to be organized and collated together time is running out and there's still a matrimonial mountain to climb but sherpa james is taking a breather it's just a nice little escape room for an hour or two just focus on something other than wedding planning just getting to the point where it's doing my head in elsewhere invitation stress is spreading the card should be sent out immediately so that we know the venue the time and the date because when it's too late they won't know what to wear maybe some of them will like them maybe they want to travel exactly they can't get their their dresses tailored or anything because they don't know the color of the garment i really want you to salt it out quick i will sort it out i will salt it out yeah i leave it okay i leave it i wouldn't be doing it for mercy's family this is much more than a wedding their pride is at stake asima is sent to sort the boys out i think we're only down to about 200 pound now for the stagger and the hindu we see it as a normal night out hello hi boys what's going on how are you darling uh i'm here for a reason obviously oh i don't like these things you know i'm not i don't like excuses how are you getting on with the invitations please tell me they're done and you're going to hand them out tonight they'll be out by the end of the week that's all you need to worry about yeah and it's cool and this week this is their issue they need the invitations yeah because they're hoping from the invitations they can see what sort of color scheme you have going on their clothes have to match their color scheme friday they'll be okay end of the day end of the day yes don't let me down please because i'll be letting them down guess the stags are nice then see what we can do mercy's parents were saying they needed them like two days ago so i'm a bit worried about that because they've told me not to let them down but clearly i have obviously it's not my fault but james didn't know it was that important so i'm not really that pleased about it the family are desperate for the invites they needed them yesterday but incredibly it's another two days before james pulls his finger out i've got a hundred plus to do and um i've got a big bag of uh the one teas sparkle it'll make you look nice well i'm saving money that's um it's always a source of inspiration couldn't he just have gone to the shops looks like it's going to be an all-nighter [Music] the next day and as words are bright and early playing postman pat should be fun yeah puppy bobby how you doing you all right how are you doing here special delivery for you special delivery it's from the one and only bobby yeah this shall we show you his love but he's still thinking of you and that's your real wife oh look that's your your personal invite he's been doing dye montes he's done him all he done every single one by himself he was up till late last night doing it all oh that is pretty oh mercy look at that diamonds it's not even on your finger i know [Laughter] might be pleasantly surprised about the wedding now because the fact that he's kind of sat there and taken a concerted effort to make a love heart shaped with diamonds means that there may be an element of attention to detail in some respect i got to get my hair done got to get my nails done oh my god despite all the blue peter touches there's one very important detail missing there's nothing on there to indicate what color it is i'm thinking it might be around this sort of color with just four days to go james can't be dealing with details he's still got to sort the rings bridesmaid stresses stag pen shoes drinks dj transport he's also got to get the boys suits tricky when some of the lads have gone awol we're trying on a suit today they're not here right have you got their measurements [Music] roughly the same size yeah you can't do that i know but you can roughly all right i was gonna they're not roughly the same size anyway are they not lyndon's bigger than details details um no not not very uh not very sure what they are to most of you and we'll probably call some what yeah we can get the sizes if he's similar to any of you guys and we can get another suit that's similar to either yourself or yourself okay that's the chance you take you may not get it time to phone a friend where are you at home all right is it have you got a tape measure at your house you got tape measure can you can you get emma to measure you up shane might be struggling to get the lads suited and booted but james seems to know his own mind for once i really like this it's really um it's me well james plays at being hugh grant mercy's about to have a huge rant i don't know what my dress looks like i haven't had a fitting about for the dress time is fastly approaching what if he gets me this dress is either 10 sizes too big how is he even gonna find something with my shape and figure and it's gonna no i'm worried about everything i'll be the runaway bride i know i will i'm just gonna get them go oh my god i'm not overly happy with what the way things are going i want red i think right now ready's kind of a color of anger and frustration and stress so i want red maybe the prospect of the hen knight will calm her down [Music] or maybe it won't you just open it i would have loved to send you to a spa but the budget is tired so hopefully you'll enjoy bowling [Music] hold on lots of love james here see you on sunday he took the pin this is what you didn't want isn't it that's exactly what i didn't want i didn't want to go bowling james has bought the girls an hour of bowling time oh last of the big splendors i broke my chips right now and i got one one pin only no drinks not impressive at all for a head night it's just not exactly your eyes is it really look at these nails they the girls aren't exactly bowled over i would have liked to have gone with all the girls just to a bar maybe with loads of drinks cocktails maybe something like having our own private section maybe i've done a little bit of i don't know whole dancing like the stags have also hit the streets but they're not going to be able to afford many lap dances with a budget of zero after half an hour mercy's blown out the bowling we decided to scrap the bowl in and go on to a bar which we'll saw at ourselves with the girls and have a laugh with the girls and leave bowling where bowling needs to be in an alley where i'm not there with it things are looking up for the girls and at the gentlemen's club too i'm just wondering if they're going to spend 61 pounds on the standard no they won't be i know luckily for james his mates are chipping in and for the girls a man with chips doesn't get better than that where is james it's just two days before the wedding after the lame duck hen the bridesmaids need james to redeem himself with their dresses but he's two hours late hello oh at least something's got some love for me i'm not impressed they're um they're obviously although they're all um upset so at least so do you have an idea of what we're looking for today um you like me oh my goodness i would have thought by now they would have chose a dress not coming to pick a dress two days before the wedding james is virtually cashless and totally clueless he doesn't even have a colour scheme in mind and he thought shopping for mercy was difficult i think he's gonna do a run-off we should do a runner yeah how long have you been here oh my god two hours i'm hoping we've tried on one thing this is this is all hitting home now because if he hasn't he he hasn't even picked anything i hope he's picked mercy's dress somebody give him a hand oh what are you doing what we are saved by tt his three-year-old niece okay all right all right don't kill me what do you think do you think auntie should wear this or mommy bad if you was if we was 40 that wouldn't be a problem it's just a bit granny-ish okay we could try it oh it might look nice okay no look at these yeah i know so yeah it looks like you pumped them up now you have a bike yeah the air pump that's what it looks like china i think we need to pick something else oh you look lovely it's horrible it's horrible we don't want to come out it's cheap it's hot it it hugs you in all the wrong places look [ __ ] which looks mercy would cry if she saw us turn up if she would be turned up in this dress well i picked up and i looked it and i was like sorry sorry james like you look so nice yeah don't worry don't worry running out of options well not really there's a whole shop of options out there mate you just have to make a decision kind of customized okay cool oh these are lovely man james is convinced and even the girls realize that two days before the wedding something is better than nothing cool yeah job done [Music] ultimately i'm hoping a lot more has gone into the wedding dress because at the moment and she's really stressed about it really stressed about fitting the way it's going to look and so forth so i'm hoping there's a lot more before going going into it otherwise you're just going to have another stressful a frustrated day like you had today yeah but this groom doesn't do stressed even though he still has to buy wedding rings for himself and his bride do you know what size she is no all right i can probably take a a fair guess yeah i reckon it's probably that that part of my ring enough cool you can measure that and try to get an idea of idea anyway okay so when's the big day sunday sunday yeah yeah i'm leaving everything to the last minute really i haven't noticed james finds a ring but they don't have the size he thinks is mercy's in stock i really think that's gonna be too small basically we only have one of each thing on the side all right we're gonna see what you can do to get it for sunday thank you it's now down to the shop assistant to magicka ring from another store within 24 hours as long as they find a store should be okay it's gonna be my day tomorrow um but i got some good white hand men just as well because tomorrow they're going to have their work cut out for them i'm nervous about the fact that it's not just about the wedding it's going to be the after effects as well does he is he going to produce something based on what i would like or is it going to be what he would like kind of forgetting what a little bit about me therefore not really knowing me as a person just don't know if i trust him to be able to deliver the day that i expect and i think my maybe my expectations are too high i just i just don't know if he's gonna be able to pull it off i'm absolutely petrified i'm just gonna get there and just be bitterly disappointed [Music] the wedding is tomorrow and jane still needs to book transport and buy booze mercy's wedding shoes and the all-important rings without any one of these things the wedding will be a disaster for mercy it's the moment of truth she's about to see her wedding dress oh do you know i feel sick what if it's like [Music] mercy can only hope her man knows her better than that i'm nervous oh my god want to pull back the curtain okay i don't know um wow um oh my god he's got a long train oh my god [Music] it is really pretty [Music] i love it i love it i really don't think he's going to give me anything i just i love it i just had this image of my head of this dress that he was going to get me and i was like oh my gosh and it fits as well it actually fits it's beautiful he's kind of exceeded completely exceeded the expectations completely and early exceeded his expectation expectations [Music] my dress is amazing [Music] just one problem james has completely forgotten that his bride needs shoes for the fitting day we need it now really because she's she it's the fitting okay can you guys see anything is there anything that that you guys can go to to get pick up because i'm gonna have to run around and then get down to you guys and obviously i haven't got them now so it is your choice so you need to you need to actually pick the shoes yourself come on james what program do you think you're on [Music] shocked into action the lads finally pull their collective finger out [Music] they've got just an hour before closing time to find the most important shoes of mercy's life you know what it was yeah she's sparkling for the night yeah i like that yeah about these quite short you can't buy them no put them back there's some of your names 16 pounds but if they're good enough for none they're good enough for princess mercy just time for a dash to the jaws any other wings that's great brilliant stuff that's perfect exactly what i need to three weeks of cluelessness and chaos has james done enough to make his bride happy [Music] the big day is finally here [Music] mercy is at her parents house in south london but there's not a carnival atmosphere [Music] oh no it'll be fine it's going to be fine but james isn't fine his guests arrive in two hours and guess what he's still got loads to do so i'll get my hair cutting that time get dressed make sure that the um caterers oh gosh it's just the thought of everything it's just um it's a bit nerve-wracking where's the makeup artist do you know does anybody know it's the day of the london marathon mercy's dad is enjoying the race but large parts of london are blocked off [Music] there's just 90 minutes to go and mercy's nowhere near ready have you spoken to the makeup artist because she's still not here she's not there yet are you gonna are you able to call her yeah yeah colton because basically she can't get dressed without a makeup hi he's a bolognese does she know where she's going she's louisiana is she walking here maybe gosh blood fire after two bottles of champagne i don't care who does my makeup and like oh it's five his guests are due in 30 minutes james isn't dressed and neither is the venue oh not good there's nothing in there basically where's the caterer i found him uh voicemail okay florist i told him to come for 12. yeah yeah yeah i told the florist to come for 12. why did you do that it's fine it's not the um the meal goes people are getting here at 12. the florist has got flowers in their church bit in the where you're getting married no caterer no flowers no hair and makeup what planet is he on the wedding's at 12 you can't turn up yeah half an hour the groom makes a last-minute dash to his hotel to change leaving his brother to pick up the pieces hopefully uh shane will get on top of it everybody else get on top of it and make sure the uh floyd is there okay around um a little worried that it's not there at the moment but i'm sure he'll be there very soon [Music] it's the bride's prerogative to be late for the wedding james and she still might be even though her makeup artist has finally arrived [Music] my

christian values and you know they would have i would have liked to get mad in church what woman wouldn't however at the end of the day i was with james and whether it be in a chapel walking down an art or whether it be in a registry office it doesn't matter it means today because seeing that emotion that i had when i saw him the setting i didn't even look at the setting i just saw james and i just ran down that aisle and i just just saw my man and just hugged him so it didn't matter it doesn't matter even the chinese buffet is going down well thank you all for coming as well um i just i had this nightmare of seeing all these white tables with nobody sitting them um and then something that would have been due to my for what half of you probably hadn't had an invitation uh and that was all word of mouth mouth and that's just my nature i said i would do it but i put it off and i put it off and i put it off and that's what i do all the time um so nothing new there but as long as you're here it's the main thing i never expected that the venue was going to be so good i enjoyed excellent meal and drink everybody is happy before this wedding occasion come out and he told me mommy i'm not going to let you down i make sure you are going to be happy really when i came here today i feel so proud and i'm really happy to the bride and groom i don't think that it will change him as a person you know i don't think he will next week become a wedding planner or become a lot more of a proactive person what i do think it has done though is that he's become a lot more confident um in his belief that he can actually achieve whatever he puts his mind to i reckon um mercy's going to be giving him loads more jobs now he's not he's not as um silly as he makes out to be yeah jake has done good i've gotta give it to him yes i'm good i think like um given the time skill there's a few things you know could have been done a bit differently but overall it has been a success is happening and that's the main thing and james is happy to give our name married job done just one more job left actually the couple have to change into their traditional nigerian outfits the traditional way is absolutely spot on it's beautiful absolutely beautiful i think it's fantastic i think you've done really well baby yeah yeah i would have got me a bentley oh yeah and the fireworks yeah what else there was nice ones oh you want swans there's no lakes it's to be fair if i wanted lakes i'll go and visit a lake what i might do is take my camera with my wedding dress and go and pitch myself outside the lake and pretend i was there exactly for me it's almost like oh my gosh you can pull this off so maybe i should stop being sort of control freaking let you kind of deliver yeah but the only problem with you is you take too long [Music] next time we're with country boy nathan boy pig cook is dead as he attempts to blow away his brighter b nikki he's trying and he's trying harder but will his rustic plans be ruined by his meddling mother-in-law i ain't happy this is the biggest day of your life it's not only nicki's hopes and dreams it's my hopes and dreams what
