Everyone has their worst/favourite episode of Don’t Tell The Bride – the show that has salved many a hangover. For our money, the guy who took the wedding to Las Vegas and couldn’t afford to take the bride’s brother takes some beating… but we'll reserve judgement until tonight.
Because E4 (who adopted the show after it left BBC Three) have staked their claim big on tonight’s episode, which they say is so good (read: bad) that they’ve extended it by half an hour into a 90-minute show.
With its combination of cringeing (so hard you sometimes have to watch from behind a pillow), romance (yes, there is some; we've cried before) and - mainly - the hilarity of men making inevitably worse and worse decisions in front of your very eyes, the show has become a stable of UK televisual life in the THIRTEEN YEARS it's been on air.
Tonight’s show features Andy and Anna. She, of course, has her heart set on a quintessential white wedding in an English country manor. Andy, on the other hand, wants to honour his fiancée’s Ukrainian heritage and sets to work on planning an authentic wedding... in Ukraine. (Plus, he thinks it will earn him some brownie points with his soon-to-be mother-in-law.)
Of COURSE he does.
Except he doesn’t speak a work of Ukranian. Of COURSE he doesn't.
As is the eternal way of Don’t Tell The Bride, Andy spends a fortune on his stag do, sends Anna and her hens to the local snooker hall with £100 – and then doesn’t have enough budget for the majority of their friends and family to fly to the wedding.
No friends and family is one thing… a terrible, terrible thing. But we think - big claim - these might be some of the worst bridesmaid and wedding dresses ever.
For one things, the bridesmaids have to try theirs on in an airport toilet by what looks like the luggage carousel.
The wedding dress he chooses costs a whopping £150 (the average cost is apparently £1,385). But while we’re all for grabbing a high street or ASOS wedding dress, this isn’t that. The beading, for instance, comes away in the bride's hands.
We think Anna and her mum might agree with us (we're just going to say, give Anna's mum her own TV show pronto... )
Don’t Tell The Bride has been on our screens since 2007. There was national outcry about losing the show when BBC Three was taken off the air in 2014 to go online, so it was picked up by BBC One and then Sky One before finding a home on E4 in 2017.
And as ever - no matter how many times we tune in, or how many times we think things like, 'Surely she's not going to like this underwater/parade of pigs/Kylie and Jason/inflatable assault course themed wedding?' - we will tune in tonight asking the all-important question: will they actually make it down the aisle?
Don't forget, though, that only one wedding has ever been called off - Yanis and Shanise from Birmingham's wedding was halted by producers, when they broke the golden rule of the show (the one, real, actual rule) and secretly communicated with each other.
Yes - as far as we can tell, not only did the Vegas wedding go ahead, but they are still together...
The extended Don’t Tell The Bride: Andy and Anna is on tonight (Monday 24 Feb) at 7.30pm on E4.

7 of 32Keira Knightley
Keira caused a media storm when she was pictured at her brother's wedding as a bridesmaid. The lovely bride doesn't seem too put out that all the attention's on the Hollywood A-lister standing next to her.
8 of 32Lady Gaga
This amazing image sees Lady Gaga looking quite normal - no Kermit dress, no meat slippers (as far as we can tell) - and doesn't she just look lovely?
9 of 32Mollie King
The Saturdays' singer joined her siblings to celebrate her sister's big day. Her dress and hair is utter perfection, no?

11 of 32Chelsy Davy
Here's Prince Harry's ex at one of them posh society weddings. She looks nice.

Claudia 'Human Fringe' Winkleman was the maid of honour at best friend Victoria Coran's wedding to David Mitchell.
13 of 32Georgia May Jagger
Back before she was all over our TV screens being all "Get the London look" and pouting, the daughter of Jerry Hall and Mick Jagger was asked to be a bridesmaid at Leah Wood's wedding. She was joined by nine other bridesmaids and flower girls, along with celebrities like Kate Moss and, er, Cilla Black.

17 of 32Kim Kardashian
...Kim was in a dark lilac shade...
18 of 32Kendall Jenner
...While Kendall wore pastel purple.□
19 of 32Jessica Biel
While we probably wouldn't pick brown as one of our wedding themes (we haven't really decided which colours yet, get back to us in a few years, yeah?), it does suit Jessica. Justin Timberlake looks pretty dapper, too.
20 of 32Kate Bosworth
What's with the black? We do love those cut-out shoulders though.
21 of 32Miquita Oliver
TV presenter Miquita didn't look too happy to be chief bridesmaid at Lily Allen's wedding to Sam Cooper. Let's hope she cheered up a bit inside.
22 of 32Pippa Middleton
Arguably the highlight of the 2011 Royal Wedding was Pippa Middleton arriving in that carriage, then getting out. A million men uttered involuntary gasps. A million women immediately got online to buy Fit-Flops in the hopes of attaining such a perfect arse.
23 of 32Pippa Middleton's bum
And there's the back of that dress in all its glory. Majestic.
24 of 32OK, it might have all been make-believe, but there's always going to be a spot in our stone-cold heart for Renee and Colin Firth dressed very inappropriately for a winter wedding in The Edge of Reason.
Renée Zellweger
25 of 32Rebecca Loos
Anyone remember 'media personality' Rebecca Loos? Nope? No-one? Let's move on.
26 of 32Kelly Brook
Ooh, look at Ms Brook. We like her and the bride's co-ordinating one-shoulder deets, although not sure black is the best choice for a summer wedding...
27 of 32Jenny Frost
Another black bridesmaid dress? This time it's former Atomic Kitten Jenny Frost wearing it to perfection.
28 of 32Sharon Osbourne
Yes, we had to double and triple-check this picture too, but it really is Sharon Osbourne acting as maid of honour at Carmen Electra's wedding in 2003.
29 of 32Teri Hatcher
Ahahhahahahahaha. Hahahhahahaha. Ahahahahhahahahaha. Haaaaaa.
30 of 32Victoria Beckham
Tee hee, it's nine-year-old Posh and she's actually smiling (front row middle). Adorbs.
31 of 32Zara Phillips
Before the Royal Wedding, there was a Royal at a wedding. A young Zara looks very sweet in this bridal gown.
32 of 32Anthea Turner
Incredible: vivid metallic lilac gowns, massive golf umbrella to shield the bridal party from the paps. Love it.
