Documentary maker Doug Block shoots wedding videos as a sideline. Combining the two disciplines, he revisits a handful of the 112 couples he’s filmed over the years to see how married life’s treating them. Mostly the answer’s “terribly”.

It’s a great conceit that 112 Weddings never quite matches, despite offering some startling candour – screenwriter David’s account of his own failings is particularly chilling. Often, the litany of divorce and disappointments feels like we’re trespassing on a couples’ therapy session, less Don’t Tell The Bride , more Don’t Remind Her.
