BBC Three - Don't Tell the Bride, Series 5, John and Jackie

Scottish country boy John tries to give city girl fiancee Jackie a wedding to remember.

Another bride takes a back seat and lets her groom organise their big day, as Scottish country boy John tries to give city girl fiancee Jackie a wedding to remember.

Twenty-nine-year-old John and his fiancee, 30-year-old Jackie, live in Kirkintilloch, an old mining town on the outskirts of Glasgow. Country boy John was born there and has never left, but city girl Jackie hails from Glasgow's smart West End and has always dreamt of a sophisticated and glamorous wedding. 

It was love at first sight when their two worlds collided when Jackie was invited to the Kirkintilloch Miners' Club for a friend's birthday. Jackie enjoys posh nights out in the city centre, but John prefers a pint at his local, the miners' club. Jackie prides herself on her appearance and John thrives on his eccentric dress sense. 

John has his head in the clouds for his bride's big day and wants to throw Jackie out of a plane at 10,000 feet on the morning of her wedding. Followed by a reception at the miners' club - a place Jackie hates and has to drag John away from. 

So will our bride skydive on the morning of the wedding? And what will happen when she realises her wedding reception is at the Kirky Miners' Club? Can this man give this woman the wedding she really wants?

BBC Three - Don't Tell the Bride, Series 5, Cameron and Sarah Jane

Cameron tries to please everyone with his wedding plans for his fiancee Sarah.

A bride lets her groom organise their big day, as Cameron tries to give Sarah the perfect wedding without stealing Sarah's sister Katie's thunder.

It was love at first sight for 23-year-old car sprayer Cameron and 22-year-old teaching assistant Sarah when they met in their local pub two and a half years ago. With Sarah's happiness as top priority, Cameron decided to propose at her late grandad's grave. As one of the last in the family to marry, Cameron is keen for his Scottish dad and Indian mum to see him settle down. 

Cameron is desperate to please his bride-to-be, but he also wants to arrange a wedding that he thinks his parents will love. Pleasing everyone will be tough, but Sarah is hoping he will at least put her first. 

And pleasing his bride isn't Cameron's only worry, because Sarah's 26-year-old sister Katie is also planning a wedding of her own. So for Cameron, who dropped out of school at 14, it's a catch-22 situation - to please his bride he would have to steal Katie's wedding plans, but to avoid upsetting her sister this means he can't give Sarah the wedding she wants. 

So with a bride desperate for a wedding better than her sister's and a groom desperate to please everybody, will his dream turn into a multicultural nightmare? Can Cameron really give Sarah the wedding she wants?
