BBC unveils plans for wedding show

The BBC has announced that it has commissioned a new primetime show: Whose Wedding is it Anyway?

In the programme, engaged couples will volunteer to relinquish all control over the plans for their big day and allow their families to take over.

Every option of the day will be decided for the couple, including the bride's dress, and they will not be aware of the results until the big event takes place.

The relatives of the couple will be aided by the show's experts, including Nick Knowles, stylist Hannah Sandling and aptly named wedding expert James Love.

Presenter Nick Knowles said: "It's supposed to be the happiest day of your life but very often the stresses and strains of organisation and family feuds can make it one of the most trying.

"We remove the bride and groom from this stress and ramp up all the pressure on the two families by forcing them to make all the decisions with all the consequences you would expect."

The task of organising the ceremony won't be made easy for the family either, as they will only be given five days to make all the arrangements and, with some help from the programme's experts, organise the flowers, cake, disco, photography and everything else that is part and parcel of a wedding ceremony.
