Nottingham couples are being offered help in organising their wedding but there’s a catch...the entire thing has to be arranged by their kids.
Marrying Mum and Dad returns to CBBC next year, bringing a fun twist on reality TV wedding shows by letting children play boss in what promises to turn traditional wedding days upside down.
The show is currently looking for courageous parents/step parents who are ready to tie the knot and willing to leave the fate of the big day in the hands of their little ones.
Tapping into the creative minds of 8-14 year olds, the show will see youngsters organise every aspect of the wedding/civil partnership; 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 Day of the Dead, Dr Who, Scarecrows, Under the Sea, Haunted Houses, Stunt Shows, Ancient Egypt, Candyland and the Wild Wild West.
Ed Petrie, who co-hosts the show with Naomi Wilkinson, says: “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 and Dad weddings are exhilaratingly bonkers, heart warming wacky and utterly unique. A day your family will truly remember forever."
The show will film from February until July 2020.
Applications are open until Monday, January 6 and can be found at bbc.co.uk/cbbc.
