The happy day will form part of the new series of ‘Priodas Pum Mil’…
The programme challenges the couple’s family and friends to arrange the wedding with a budget of £5,000. January 25th was St Dwynwen’s Day – the Welsh patron saint for lovers and so yesterday S4C began their search to recruit couples for the series.
Emma Walford, presenter:
“Every single programme, and every single couple, have been special. It’s more than just a TV programme, we organise the most important day of the couples’ lives and you really don’t want to disappoint anyone. The responsibility can bring some stress with it at times, but so far having arranged almost 50 weddings, we’ve had a great run of success.”
Couples can choose a traditional wedding or follow a theme as Enfys and Jamie from Bethel did when they married with an Italian theme. The focus was on darts for Donna and Dilwyn from Penygroes’ wedding, while Mair and Lucy from Anglesey chose Alice in Wonderland as their theme.
The last programme of the current series of Priodas Pum Mil (Five Thousand Pound Wedding) will be broadcast on Sunday at 20:00, with Abbey and Danial from Pwllheli tying the knot.
The programme is presented by Emma Walford and Trystan Ellis-Morris.
Trystan Ellis-Morris, presenter:
“I would encourage anyone who wants to get married to apply. We have so much experience as a team, but we can’t do it without the couple’s family and friends. It doesn’t matter if there’s a theme or not, if you want to get married at home, locally, or if you want to venture further afield.”
As a mother of the groom said in a recent episode when Sara and Dan from the Nantlle Valley got married in Scotland: “Who’d expect that in Gretna Green – but that’s Priodas Pum Mil’s magic.”
