30th May 2001: Steve McDonald and Karen Phillips arrive at Weatherfield Registry Office and get married. Neither of them thought the other would show up as they are only getting married because of a bet Karen made with Janice Battersby that she could get Steve to marry her in exchange for two days wages from Janice. The residents are as surprised as Steve and Karen themselves that they both went through with it, however Steve and Karen later admit that they love each other and were secretly hoping that the other wouldn't back out. The marriage lasts until 2003, however they only divorce so that they can have a bigger wedding the second time.
