Wigan social media stars Martin and Bex planning wedding in style of hit BBC show 'Don't Tell the Bride'

Wigan social media influencers Martin and Bex announced their upcoming wedding for summer 2025, with their approach inspired by the hit series ‘Don't Tell the Bride’. In a twist typical of the show, Martin will be in charge of all wedding planning, leaving Bex completely out of the loop until they get wed.

Fans of the couple have erupted into debate over their decision. One particular aspect that seems to have fans divided, is whether or not Martin should let Bex pick her own wedding dress.

One commented, "Yes let her pick the dress, you do the rest. The bride's dress is the most important thing on such a special day, no pranking for this."

Another supporter noted: "I think your intuition is spot on. Not only do I remember how excited I was to wear the dress I picked but felt beautiful the whole day. You are a lovely fella to think as you do, and I'm so excited for you both 😊." Yet another commented, "Yes! If the dress is wrong, the wedding wouldn’t feel right."

Martin is still undecided and is currently planning other aspects of their wedding, such as the venue, travel and bridesmaids’ dresses, before coming to a decision.

"Some people clearly think we are bonkers – but we love doing things differently! And we love entertaining people. It’s natural for us to take a normal situation and flip it on its head, it’s what we do. I think I’ll do a great job of everything, my only worry is the dress! If I get that wrong, I will be in serious trouble!" said Martin. "But it's a fun challenge and a true test of trust."

The couple's journey to the altar will be documented in a new series. They will be releasing content showcasing key aspects of the wedding, including choosing the dresses, venue, theme and telling the bridesmaids and groomsmen.
