Reality television series in which the groom must choose every detail of his wedding, from venue to cake to wedding dress. In the year same-sex marriage became legal in England, former drama student Jack is hoping to impress his husband-to-be James by putting on the performance of a lifetime, as well as a wedding. James longs for a traditional big day, so how will he react when his groom-turned-theatre director books two donkeys and a cast of actors to perform his own version of a A Midsummer Night’s Dream at their wedding.
