Why does the bride to be on ‘Don’t tell the bride’ not just tell the groom what she wants in advance…. [with answers from contestants]

Why does the bride to be on ‘Don’t tell the bride’ not just secretly tell her future husband what she wants in advance?

We’ve always thought before the TV people arrive to film why does the bride not just tell their future husband:

  • This is the location I want (or similar)
  • This is the sort of dress I love
  • These are the themes I hate
  • These are the other things I hate
  • These are the people I want to come

or does BBC3 only pick people who haven’t had this memo?

Well we asked that exact question on our Facebook page and we were lucky enough to have two previous contestants comment with how it works (along with hundreds of others) explaining how it works:

Would you let your other half control the whole £12,000 day?

Would you do it for a free wedding?

Important things to remember with everything we post:

  • If you earn over your personal allowance (currently £12,570 a year) HMRC need to get their % cut (even if the money is in cash or from another country)
  • If you’re working for yourself / earning an income on the side you need to let HMRC know – There are numerous benefits but also some drawbacks
  • You need to always ensure whatever you’re doing is legal and not hurting anyone else – be careful and always think twice
  • Some income streams may require you to have DBS check, licence, insurance or qualifications before you can start to profit from it, do your research.
  • Be careful that any additional income doesn’t compromise your studies or main income/job
  • If you work for a company check your contract, if you don’t inform them you’re working on other side projects outside of work they may have grounds to ownership on this work
