'Weddings: Happily Ever After?' Commissioned

Channel 4 has commissioned a one-off documentary, Weddings: Happily Ever After? (w/t).

The 1x60' film provides a snapshot of marriage in modern Britain. It follows 10 couples from the Borough of Brent in north west London as they talk openly about their loves and lives together – for better or worse. Each couple offer their own insight into the ups and downs of married life as viewers discover for which of them the wedding day really was the beginning of happily ever after.

Philippa Robinson, Filmmaker, said: "In this refreshing and often funny documentary couples share with us their wedding videos and talk candidly about the ups and downs of their relationships since the day they publicly pledged their love for each other. With incredible honesty, they talk touchingly about whether married life has matched up to the hopes and expectations of that joyous wedding day and whether their marriage has been for better or for worse."

The programme title is yet to be confirmed. It will be produced by Curve Media.
