I thought they seemed like a lovely couple and, on the whole, I like what they achieved.
Though their effort made me think of this quote (probably paraphrased) 'When accessorizing, always take off the last thing you put on.'
I thought they just went a little bit overboard.

I heard Franc on a show saying that brides are paying too much forbtheir weddings - this from the man who championed the bottomless pit budget wedding. He single handedly helped to shove up the cost of weddings with his money no object weddings. Is he tkaking us for mugs?

To be fair he started in Celtic tiger times when people were ridiculous. He's well aware now that people don't have or shouldn't be spending the same amount and maybe that's where the comment is coming from.

Most of my friends got married a few years ago and spent a crazy amount at the time.

He didn't hold a gun to anyones head and make them spend money.

I thought the wedding was nice... But I didnt think he did anything that they couldnt have done themselves. I didnt see anything different in it which is what I would have expected. I think fair play to them though and they look very much in love so thats the main thing really isnt it.

The dance floor looked very slippy though!

I watched this earlier on iplayer. They seemed like such a lovely couple. I think there is no way they stuck to their budget. All those props she bought add up.

+1 to this I'd say they spent a fortune! I actually thought the show was boring the bride looked fab and so did the venue but there was nothing wow on the show and I didn't see where they saved money....
