    Well the first quote they got from the hotel was 7,000 euro, which Anthony managed to "talk them down" to 4,500 euro... I dont think this is realistic.. They must have taken the hotel manager aside and said "look we'll give you all this free advertising and we'll portray the hotel in it's best light".... I'd say the figures were as doctored as Anglo's.

    Exactly I'd say they did the same for everything else as well!
    At least they saved some money on a videographer :p

    That rings bells alright!

    Seems a bit silly repeating it a few days later.

    I think the fact that they sold their wedding day, tells you something about their collective morality... (Spoken from my high horse)..

    I just actually found the comments now i saw the show and i actually think that with people's financial circumstances declining that this show is giving couples who really want to get married the opportunity to get married! I think that they seemed like a really nice couple, fair enough Amy wasn't great but considering there getting their wedding paid for and having the day they want but cant afford good on them! Unfortunately not everyone is in a position to spend 10 -20k or whatever it is costing these days to get married and if there given the opportunity to do it for free WHY NOT??? If you dont like it dont watch it... and to start making snide remarks about the groom going off with a bridesmaid just goes to show how SHALLOW the person who posted that is :mad:... I love the English version and if the Irish one is on again i will happily watch it..

    May I offer this suggestion as a cheaper and more dignified way to get married... Think the elvis chap is working out of a "ghetto" in North Kildare..

    Certainly more dignified than earning 10k from a production company and having them script it for you..

    i think each to their own but at least the other couple got their wedding paid for and they were able to have their nearest and dearest with them

    I disagree with the concept of selling out your wedding day.. I would consider it on a par with selling the photos to OK, for which the celebs get criticized for.... They could have done it in a registry office and booked a room for a party afterwards..

    oh and fyi, that episode was a once off AFAIK.. a pilot I think, and I dont think they have had a full series commissioned..

    Is anyone watching this on RTE2 at the minute?
    Jaysus could it get any more cliche, lad hasn't a clue about anything, has the lads round for beer and football as soon as the missus is out.
    She wants a reception down the country with nice scenic views, he goes for the hotel in the middle of town.
    He rings people to tell them when and where the wedding is etc.

    Christ but the voiceover is annoying too.

    Wheres the remote

    Lesson to learn from this programme: Let the bride to be do most of the organising, nod, say yes and do what ur told.

    The invitations bit was a bit silly.

    The first dress for €170 was much nicer than the yoke he bought for €600. Poor girl :(
