Plot[]
Charlie's furious at being publicly humiliated. Shelley hurries back down the aisle with the congregation watching on as Bev claps in support of her. Shelley climbs in the wedding car but Charlie throws the driver out of the way and jumps in the front seat. Charlie drives off at speed with terrified Shelley in the back. Norris tells Rita he's thought of new ways to maximise their margins at The Kabin. The race between Bernard the Weatherfield County Cockerel and the Scarsdale Fox takes place. The Fox wins by cheating. Martin challenges the Fox to a return match. Shelley finally sees Charlie for what he is. She accuses him of trying to control her and getting rid of all her friends. She gets out of the car and leaves him. Shelley phones Zack and tells him what she's done. He's very proud of her. Charlie pours his heart out to Jason telling him what an ungrateful bitch Shelley is. To get his own back on Les, Chesney alters the time on Les and Cilla's wedding invitation. They find themselves sitting in an empty church and hurry along to the Rovers afterwards. In the Weatherfield Arms, Charlie bumps into the woman he spent the night with and calls her a slut. She tells him that his bride had a lucky escape. Outside the pub, Shelley and Bev are reunited and hug each other. Shelley enters the Rovers, tucks into her wedding cake and her friends cheer.
