A popular TV series is set to air a special episode on Christmas Day. The S4C series Priodas Pum Mil (Five Thousand Wedding) will air a special episode called Priodas Pymtheg Mil (Fifteen Thousand Wedding) on December 25. The episode will see the show's usual £5,000 budget for a couple's dream wedding increase to £15,000.
The show will follow the wedding of Aled Johnson from Pembrokeshire and Malin Gustafsson from Sweden. The couple, who have two children together, met in 2008 and decided to marry twice in both of their home countries. Mr Johnson said: "A couple usually get married in front of family and friends, well ours are in Sweden and Pembrokeshire so it only seemed right to get married in both places.
"This show has allowed that to happen and we are extremely happy with the way it all worked out. "My 87 year old father has never flown, he’s never had a passport so it went without question that the official wedding was to happen in Ebeneser chapel, Eglwyswrw and a blessing service at Malin’s family church." The planning of both weddings is left in the hands of the couple’s extended families and friends, creating a whirlwind of chaos, excitement, and a touch of humour as the two sides of the family battle cultural differences and currency, navigate logistical challenges, and struggle to merge their diverse traditions.
Helping them organise are presenters Emma Walford and Trystan Ellis-Morris – both finding the currency exchange rate to Swedish crowns particular.
