Marrying Mum & Dad is back on CBBC and is bringing a unique 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 tie the knot and willing to leave the fate of the big day in the hands of their children.

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 8-14-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!

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, heartwarmingly wacky and utterly unique.

Ed added, “A day your family will truly remember forever!”

The show will film from March until August 2020.
