50 Greatest Wedding Shockers

50 Greatest Wedding Shockers. Sat 23 April, 9pm, E4.


As Royal Wedding fever grips Britain, E4 reveals the most outrageous weddings of all time in 50 Greatest Wedding Shockers. We count down through celeb celebrations and tear jerk TV weddings, whacky themes, naked nuptials and record breakers to discover the number one most shocking wedding in the world - ever!

This two hour special reveals themed weddings inspired by the big screen including a Shrek-themed wedding with green guests and the Star Wars fans who married as Han Solo and Princess Leila, the bride who arrived in a skip, the world's oldest bridesmaid, the longest wedding train at 2386.44 metres and the largest wedding cake in the UK - complete with £160,000 worth of diamonds.

No count down of wedding shockers would be complete without a litany of celebrity nuptials. We get the low down from the owner of the Little White Wedding Chapel in Vegas who spills the beans about Britney's wedding to Jason Alexander before their nuptials were annulled after 55 hours. Madonna's brother Chris Ciccone gives the inside track on his sister's high security weddings and Jordan's hairdressers Phil Turner and Gary Cockerill tell us what really happened at Jordan's now disastrous wedding to Alex Reid.

The truly tasteless and downright jaw dropping also feature in the form of the woman who married her dog and the man who married to his horse.

Competing for the coveted number one spot is the bride who swallowed her engagement ring, a Jordan copycat; an extravagant gypsy wedding and the woman who married herself, to name a few.

Gripping stories, killer archive and a fabulous cast of talking heads guarantee the perfect antidote as Wills and Kate mania hits the nation.
