Don't Tell the Bride Ireland kicked off its eighth season this week (Monday, 13th February). And this series promises to be better than ever.
Just in case you didn’t know, Don’t Tell the Bride sees a bride (or in the case of one couple - Victor) hand total control of the wedding over to the groom. The groom has to plan everything from the hen, to the dress, from the stag to the wedding venue. He has to do it all in three weeks and for €10,000.
