Ep 2. Episode 2

Don't Tell the Bride is a British reality television series where the groom is given a budget to plan the entire wedding without any input from the bride. Season 1, episode 2 is titled "Episode 2" and follows groom-to-be John as he plans his big day for his fiancee, Lisa.

John has been given a budget of £8,000 to plan his dream wedding for Lisa, who is hoping for a traditional ceremony followed by a fun-filled reception. John, however, has always dreamed of a fairytale wedding and has decided to plan an extravagant princess-themed wedding.

The episode starts with John visiting the wedding venue, which is a castle nestled in the Scottish countryside. John falls in love with the grandeur of the castle and imagines Lisa walking down the aisle in a Cinderella-inspired gown. However, the castle rental comes with a hefty price tag, eating up a large portion of John's budget.

Determined to make the fairytale wedding a reality, John starts making cuts in other areas. He decides to save money on the wedding dress by buying a second-hand gown and altering it himself. He also opts for a hog roast buffet instead of a formal sit-down dinner.

As the wedding day approaches, John is feeling the pressure of planning everything himself. He struggles with the alterations to Lisa's dress and panics when he realizes he forgot to book a professional photographer. He enlists the help of his best man to take some photos on the day, but the result is less than professional.

On the day of the wedding, Lisa arrives at the castle looking stunning in her altered dress. John awaits her at the altar, dressed in a prince costume complete with a royal blue cape. The bridesmaids are decked out in pastel-colored gowns and fairy wings, fitting in with the theme of the day.

After a heartwarming ceremony, the couple rides off in a horse-drawn carriage to the reception. The reception venue is covered in fairy lights and castle-themed decorations. There is even a photo booth with a large pink throne for guests to take photos on.

Despite the bumps in the road during the planning process, John's fairytale wedding proves to be a success. The guests have a great time and Lisa is thrilled with how the day turned out. Throughout the episode, John's love for Lisa is clear, and his determination to make her dream wedding come true is heartwarming.

Don't Tell the Bride season 1, episode 2 is a fun and entertaining watch, showcasing the unpredictable nature of wedding planning. With John's dedication and creativity, there is no doubt that he did his very best to make his wedding day special for his beloved Lisa.
