The BBC is set to mark the 10th anniversary of same-sex marriage being legalised with a new show.
In a one-off programme, titled My Big Gay Wedding, comedian Tom Allen will be seen "pulling out all the stops to arrange the wedding of their dreams for one gay couple".
The show will follow Tom as he introduces the couple to some of his celebrity friends who come together to help with everything from the entertainment to the outfits, to make the wedding as "spectacular as possible".

Tom Allen said: "I'm looking forward to making this joyous celebration of love gay marriage, or garriage as I like to call it."
As Tom helps the lucky couple arrange "the wedding of the year", the presenter will recall on the story of the fight for equal marriage, meeting the inspiring LGBTQ+ trailblazers who helped make this day possible.
The show is also set to see Tom reflect on his own experiences of growing up gay as he considers how far LGBTQ+ rights have advanced.
This year, 2023 marks the 10th anniversary of same-sex marriage being legalised in England and Wales and 2024, a decade since the first wedding took place.
Tom added: "The fact same-sex couples couldn't get married here just ten years ago means we should never be complacent about the progress we've made and so it's only right to celebrate it thoroughly."
BBC's head of religion and ethics said: "I am so excited about this film. To be celebrating this momentous anniversary with a couple at such an important time in their lives is a privilege.
"Tom is the perfect person to guide them towards their dream day, while reflecting on how we've got to now and what that means to so many."
