You know what we all need right now? The sort of TV show that’s guaranteed to lift our moods, lighten our hearts, and make us feel good about the world again. 

Enter stage left, then, Netflix’s Say I Do.

The reality show, which has been steadily trending on Twitter since its release on 1 July, is basically the beautifully sunny-natured lovechild of Queer Eye and Don’t Tell The Bride. By which we mean, of course, that it takes all the fun wedding planning elements of the latter, blends them with the expert advice and human interest stories of the former, and creates the feel-good, cry-hard TV series of our dreams.

And, judging by reactions on social media, we’re not the only ones who think so.

“I stumbled across Say I Do: Surprise Weddings on Netflix and I am straight up SOBBING at the very first episode,” tweeted one viewer. 

“That poor woman. What they’re doing for her is so heartwarming.”

“If y’all thought Queer Eye was an emotional tearjerker, just wait ‘til you see Say I Do on Netflix,” added another.

“I am not even halfway through the first episode of Say I Do and I’ve already cried three times,” said one more.

Our favourite, though, keeps things simple. 

Speaking to a very specific type of person, it reads: “For all my hopeless romantics, please please please watch Say I Do on Netflix.”

With that in mind, then, here’s everything you need to know about Netflix’s Say I Do: Surprise Weddings.

What’s Netflix’s Say I Do about?

This reality show is all about deserving couples who have always intended to marry, but for one reason or another, were never able to make their big day a reality. The season premiere of Say I Do, for example, focuses on couple Marcus and Tiffany, who are hoping to get a re-do for their wedding after the first time round ended in disaster.

Unlike Don’t Tell The Bride, though, the hapless grooms are not asked to take on the bulk of the wedding planning (thank goodness, eh?).

Instead, interior designer Jeremiah Brent, fashion designer Thai Nguyen, and chef Gabriele Bertaccini (the Terrific Three to Queer Eye’s Fab Five) throw everything they’ve got into making the couples’ dream weddings a reality. 

“Say I Do dives into the love stories of these couples and finds out what matters most to them when they tie the knot,” adds Netflix.

“The three experts will help the groom with a plan to surprise their ‘spouse-to-be with a personalised proposal, followed by their dream wedding… just a few days later!”

Is there a trailer for Netflix’s Say I Do?
