As she leaves for the wedding, Beth is miffed to see Sophie and Maddie also dressed as Madonna. Kirk goes missing. Sean is stood up by Billy. Beth arrives at the wedding, where Julie tells her Kirk hasn't turned up. Beth fears she's going to be jilted and takes it out on two guests have haven't dressed up, only to discover they're Kirk's parents who have just got off the plane. With five minutes to go until they lose their slot at the registry office, Kirk turns up in a taxi, explaining that he had to get his Adam Ant costume and couldn't contact anyone as he'd left his phone at home. Craig gives Beth away as she marries Kirk. Beth and Kirk have written their own vows. Tim and Sally miss the wedding while they christen their new designer sofa. Michelle leaves Steve on his own at the Rovers to go out with Hamish as he hasn't bothered to help set up the reception. She's also annoyed that he hasn't shown any emotional reaction to seeing her kissing Hamish. Steph encourages Luke to ignore Maria's wishes and join her at the party.
