2. Four Weddings - wedding planner TV show

Giving an honest portrayal of what happens behind the scenes of a wedding day, this wedding TV show follows four special brides each with a unique story to tell. You can watch this wedding TV show on Amazon.

Liz's review: This short documentary showing 4 weddings from around the world cleverly follows the brides' emotions and feelings at different stages throughout their wedding day. They all have very different backgrounds and stories yet with one common interest, marrying the partner that is perfect for them.

Wedition Hot Tip: If you are marrying someone of a different culture or religion, you may find that some of your wedding guests will be unsure of meaning behind some parts of your wedding ceremony or the sentiment behind certain traditions you have chosen to include in your day. Use Wedition to explain these to your guests, allowing them to feel much closer to you on your wedding day and removing any potential for embarrassment.

4. 112 Weddings - after the wedding TV show

For over 20 years, Doug Block, acclaimed documentary filmmaker, has filmed many weddings, he decides to track down some of his favourite couples from the 112 weddings he has filmed over the years and find out what their marriage has been like. 112 Weddings is available to watch on YouTube or Google Play.

Liz's review: This watchable show is engaging and hard hitting at times. Some of the couples are together, some are not... and some seem to be on the edge of breaking point. This show does not give you the typical feel good factor you might be looking for, but it certainly will give you a lot to talk about with your partner as you imagine what your future could hold.

Wedition Hot Tip: If you are employing a videographer for your wedding, make sure you put them in touch with your wedding photographer, the two will will need to be able to work together to make sure they are not taking conflicting shots of your day. Your wedding photographer and videographer will perhaps be some of the most hardest working people on your wedding day, make sure you provide them with a proper meal, not just a quick sandwich!

Real Wedition Weddings: G&A chose to have Shoot It Yourself at their wedding, they included the information and the app download for their guests inside their Wedition. They had two video cameras available for guests to use after the ceremony. The guests could film messages and capture the action, Shoot It Yourself then edited the footage and made it into a wedding film. G&A chose to also include the story of how they met, the proposal, the information and photos on how they made their own wedding rings, an introduction to the wedding party, the wedding menu and a Mr and Mrs quiz inside their Wedition which their guests loved receiving on the day of the wedding.
