Inspired by the royal wedding this is the best idea for a TV show you’ll see all week
If someone doesn’t make this, we will. Probably.
You know what would be great? The BBC should televise someone's wedding every Saturday. "And here's Kerry, arriving at the registry office in her father's mondeo. Unfortunately her sister is unable to attend today due to what Rachel said about our Steve at Julie's christening."

It’s a hit. At least, it was with these people on Twitter who got to thinking what kind of stuff it might include. Ring any (wedding) bells?

People would watch the HELL out of that.

ALSO when the wedding is on telly you can sing along with the choir and no one can stop you.

"Up next, Graeme and Roger are finally tying the knot after 27 years together. Graeme's mum is officiating."

Everyone is there for when drunk Uncle Arthur corners one of the groomsmen to tell them about his military service.

I have been to that wedding. More than once. "that's so great, I'm a librarian!" just does not cut it.

Mine was Great Uncle Charles. He decided, WHILE IN THE BATHROOM to tell one of @bumlaser's groomsmen about when he was in the South Pacific. "There were all these girls running around with no clothes on, so the chaplain made em wear tee shirts. And you know what they did?"

The poor groomsman hardly wanted to ask, but Uncle Charles said, "They cut the titties out." And then JUST WALKED OUT OF THE BATHROOM LIKE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE WENT IN THERE TO DO.

I used to present a feature called 'Bride of the Week' on @BBCEssex
People would nominate why a bride they knew should be surprised live in air.

“Here we see the happy couple walking back down the aisle. Unfortunately the groom made a bit of a bollox of polishing his shoes, and now there are big streaks of leftover polish down the hem of the bride’s dress”. Not that I’m bitter about it or anything.

Now the bride’s aunties and uncles will do a celebratory boogie to Come on Eileen, while small boys slide across the dance floor of the Queen’s Head on their knees.

YES. "Ah, and now a very special moment for the bride: the ceremonial conga line. The groom's family appear unaware of this ritual and are rather alarmed to see how many people are dancing past them on this narrow balcony."

I would completely watch that. "Sunita is not impressed by her husband's choice of mayonnaise brand but will today be the day that she says something? …No. She is taking the high road once again – she knows how much it means to him."

I’m all in for random televised weddings and receptions. “There’s Janice, Shannon’s old manager at Asda, doing the cha cha slide after 8 double vodkas. You go Janice”

Uncle Brian walks in for the evening do and shouts: why's the DJ playing this hip hop shit?

And Aunty Carol is dancing sexily with a scared looking groomsmen to Careless Whisper because she's had too many sherries.
