CBBC's Marrying Mum & Dad needs kids to organise their parents' wedding day

Couples are being offered the chance to have their entire wedding organised by their kids - for a reality TV show.

Marrying Mum & Dad is coming back on CBBC and is bringing a new twist to TV wedding shows by letting children play boss in what promises to turn traditional wedding days upside down.

The show is currently looking for brave parents/step parents who are marrying and willing to leave the fate of the big day in the hands of their children, reports GloucestershireLive.

The show is also open to same-sex parents as well. For these episodes, the show’s name changes to Marrying Mum & Mum/Dad & Dad.

Tapping into the creative minds of eight to 14 year olds, the show will see youngsters organise every aspect of the wedding/civil ceremony; from the theme to the venue, the costume to the cake, as well as the arranging the transport and entertainment.

The show has already seen couples get hitched in a bizarre variety of ceremonies with themes such as: Circus, Scarecrows, Under the Sea, Haunted Houses, Ancient Egypt and even Vegetables!

Would you let your kids organise your wedding day? (BBC)

Ed Petrie, who co-hosts the show with Naomi Wilkinson, said: "Letting 8-14 year olds plan your entire wedding day may sound like a ridiculous idea - and it is! But in the best possible way.

"Marrying  Mum & Dad weddings are exhilaratingly bonkers, heart-warmingly wacky and utterly unique. A day your family will truly remember forever!"

The show will film from March until August 2020.
