BBC Three - Don't Tell the Bride, Series 5, David and Lucy

David attempts to base his wedding on Pride and Prejudice despite knowing little about it.

David hopes to impress his bride-to-be Lucy by arranging a wedding based on her favourite book, Pride and Prejudice, despite knowing nothing about the classic text.

David from Derby is a nurse specialising in healing wounds. It's his job to convince patients to try a less than conventional type of treatment. Whereas his bride-to-be Lucy is a brainy law student and prefers being a good old-fashioned bookworm. 

David is so keen to impress Lucy that he's decided to take on her favourite story of Pride and Prejudice and turn it into reality on their wedding day. Despite knowing nothing about Pride and Prejudice, he plans to base the wedding around this Jane Austen classic love story. It's the perfect opportunity to prove he can engage with her love of literature and try and match her intelligence. 

But Lucy dreams of something a bit more 21st-century traditional, so can this groom win her over by taking on her favourite love story? Can David from Derby turn himself into Mr Darcy?

South Wales fisherman Harry must plan the perfect wedding for his land-loving fiancee Mel.

South Wales fisherman Harry tries to put his love for the sea into the background while he plans the perfect wedding for his land-loving fiancee Mel.

24-year-old Harry and his 28-year-old fiancee Mel live in a beautiful seaside village called Manorbier on the Pembrokeshire coast in south Wales. Harry is a hard-working fisherman, loves everything about the sea and is drawn to it at any opportunity. Mel is a mobile hairdresser and her world is very different to Harry's. She is self-conscious and always likes to look good for her man. To keep Harry interested, she spends six nights a week at the gym, but although Mel loves her man she doesn't love his job. She hates the sea, is terrified of boats and prefers a classy night out instead of fishing in the early morning. 

So does Harry put his love of the sea before the love of his life? With a bride that finds it hard to trust him, will he get led astray? Can this fisherman really give this land-loving girl the wedding of her dreams?
