Plot[]
Fred arrives at Audrey's house and explains how he's always had feelings for her but he's going to marry Bev as she loves him and he loves her. Audrey's upset but puts on a brave face and wishes him well. Ashley and usher Dev wait impatiently for Fred to return. Ashley guesses he's gone to Audrey's. Bev arrives at the church but Ashley tells her they're not ready and insists she drives round the block again. The congregation become restless wondering what's causing the delay. As Fred leaves Audrey's house for the wedding, he collapses in her hallway and dies of a massive stroke. The police and Audrey arrive at the church and deliver the awful news to Ashley. Ashley in turn tells Bev and then the congregation that Fred is dead. Bev wants to know the details of his death but Ashley refuses to say. Audrey nervously explains how Fred was at her house but had every intention of marrying Bev but distraught Ashley interjects telling Bev how Audrey's been trying to stop the wedding in the hope he'd marry her instead. He says that Audrey's entirely to blame.
