How many Don’t Tell The Bride couples are divorced and what did the grooms plan for their wedding days?
MANY brides on Don't Tell The Bride who let their future husbands plan their big day often end up regretting it.
From a £140 dress described as a "cheap bit of tat" to an Oktoberfest-themed reception, it's unsurprising that not all of these couples have a fairy-tale ending...
How many Don't Tell The Bride couples have divorced?
Since Don't Tell The Bride first graced our screens in 2007, we've seen countless couples walk down the aisle... in varying states of harmonious matrimony.
After all, plenty of marriages have started off on the wrong foot considering the grooms have to plan their partner's dream day.
Adventurous couples that are planning on getting married are given £13,000 to plan the whole wedding.
The catch is, the groom has to plan it all by himself without any input from the bride.
As expected, this often leads to brides crying over the questionable decisions made by the groom.
For instance, one episode featured an over-the-top Vegas-themed wedding in a garden shed, planned by the groom.
It left viewers surprised, as his bride had always dreamt of getting married in her family church in Norfolk.
Bianca John and Adam Ledner
Most dramatically, Bianca and Adam from the last season of the show have been the most recent couple to divorce.
Adam also didn't do much to impress his pregnant fiancé Bianca during their time on the show.
The money-saving groom paid just £140 for his bride's wedding dress (which she tearfully labelled a "cheap piece of tat") before organising a Full Moon-inspired reception.
Any hopes of salvaging the day are quickly squashed when his bride's dream "destination wedding" instead takes place on-board on a plane.
Not to mention the bridesmaids' £10 see-through dresses.
It's no wonder Bianca labelled her nuptials "the world's worst wedding."
The couple had only been married for 18 months when Bianca discovered flirtatious texts messages on her husband's phone shortly after he was rushed to hospital.
Turns out, the reality television groom had been having an affair for five months
The scorned wife told Fabulous Online: "I went from being terrified of losing my husband to furious that the man I loved had been sleeping with another woman behind my back."
Adam said in 2022: "About a year into my marriage to Bianca I had an affair which lasted four or five months. I make no excuses for it.
"It had stopped, by pure coincidence, just before Bianca found out about it and after that, I never saw the woman again.
"I’ll always love Bianca – she’s the mother of my son – but lessons have been learnt. I was very immature when I married her and I wouldn’t behave like that again.
"But am I glad we got together? Of course. I couldn’t regret it because we have our wonderful son."
Sofia and Craig
Meanwhile, one unhappy bride refused to legalise the marriage after her groom planned a catastrophic Oktoberfest-themed wedding for the show.
Despite being together eight years, 26-year-old Sofia claimed that "if Craig doesn't know me by now, it's probably warning signs."
At the start of Sofia and Craig's episode, the bride-to-be told the cameras that she was hoping for a "boho beach wedding" and warned "if he gets things wrong and I don't like anything, I actually won't go."
Craig, on the other hand, said the wedding was going to be "based on my old party lifestyle, getting everyone together for loads of drinking and a crazy wild party."
As the only couple to ever split as a result of the disastrous wedding, Sofia also refused to try on the Bavarian wedding dress Craig chose for her and was devastated when he planned an Oktoberfest-themed nuptials at the National Brewery Centre.
Following the episode, a message followed on the screen reading: "At the time of making this programme Craig and Sofia had decided not to make their wedding legal and were working together on their relationship."
