Plot[]
Les instructs Kirk to lie to the real vicar of St. Jude's Church to get him out of the way. Sarah's put out when Scooter refuses to accompany her to the wedding. Yana helps Cilla prepare for her wedding. She gives her three kiss curls in the shape of "666" on her forehead. Billy Brown turns up back from the army to be Les's best man. She convinces Les that he's already met Billy the night before. Billy plays along and Les is taken in. Les crashes his taxi into Status Quo's van. Les suffers whiplash and has to wear a neck brace to his wedding. Tracy insists Cilla must pay for her wedding flowers. Following an altercation, Cilla picks up Joshua's tricycle and launches it at the front window at No.1, intent on stealing the flowers. She's bundled into the limo by Lloyd, but the car screeches to a halt at the end of the street and she gets out to steal flowers from outside the corner shop instead. Leanne arrives back for her dad's wedding. She tells Jamie she still loves him and still wants to marry him but he walks away. Charlie tells Violet that Jason is a good guy and she must stop giving him the cold shoulder. The church is locked. Billy forces a window and Chesney climbs through and lets Les, Father Abraham and Kirk in through the vestry door. The wedding takes place and Les and Cilla are married, albeit not legally. The real vicar arrives back. Kirk signals to Father Abraham to hurry up. He finishes the service at break-neck speed and then he, Les and Cilla leg it from the church. The proper vicar is astonished to see a wedding congregation leaving his church.
