I’m getting married but I’ve handed planning over to my man in real life Don’t Tell the Bride, people are horrified
IT’S the bride’s prerogative to want to have the last word when it comes to planning a wedding.
However, one brave bride has handed over all control to her husband-to-be much to her follower’s horror.
Social media influencers Martin and Bex announced their upcoming wedding for summer 2025, sparking major buzz online with their unique approach inspired by the hit BBC Three series “Don’t Tell the Bride.”
In an unconventional twist typical of the famous show, Martin will be in charge of all wedding planning, leaving Bex completely out of the loop until they get Wed.
The announcement has already seen over 5,000 comments on social media, as fans of the couple erupted into debate over their decision.
One particular aspect that seems to have fans divided, is whether or not Martin should let Bex pick her own wedding dress.
One commented, “Yes let her pick the dress, you do the rest. The bride’s dress is the most important thing on such a special day, no pranking for this.”
Another supporter noted, “I think your intuition is spot on. Not only do I remember how excited I was to wear the dress I picked but felt beautiful the whole day.
“You are a lovely fella to think as you do, and I’m so excited for you both 
.”
Yet another commented, “Yes! If the dress is wrong, the wedding wouldn’t feel right.”
But while most of the comments were lighthearted, Martin was forced to address trolls when they received a slew of hateful comments about their decision.
He wrote: “I’ve sat and read so many comments, the only thing that is bothering me is the amount of pure hatred comments and messages I’m getting, there is no need for it.
“Genuinely there are some great opinions. I love them, I’m just assuming the pure hate is coming from non followers as they may not understand what we are like as a couple. I’m going to make her so happy and proud I know I am.”
Martin is still undecided whether he’ll choose the dress and is currently planning other aspects of their Wedding, such as the venue, travel and bridesmaids’ dresses, before coming to a decision.
He explained: “Some people clearly think we are bonkers – but we love doing things differently.
“And we LOVE entertaining people. It’s natural for us to take a normal situation and flip it on its head, it’s what we do.
“I think I’ll do a great job of everything, my only worry is the dress.
Wedding Guest Outfit Etiquette
If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble.
- Folklore says that wearing red at a wedding means you slept with the groom.
- Casual attire like jeans and flip flops should always be avoided.
- Any colour that could be picked up as white or cream – even if it’s not.
- Most would agree that your cleavage needs to be covered.
- Wearing white is a massive no-no if you’re not the bride.
“If I get that wrong, I will be in serious trouble” said Martin. “But it’s a fun challenge and a true test of trust.”
The couple’s journey to the altar will be documented in a new series, promising plenty of surprises and heartfelt moments.
They will be releasing content showcasing key aspects of the wedding, including choosing the dresses, venue, theme and telling the bridesmaids and groomsmen.
