Leela and Joel's wedding day had been a long time coming, and it was finally here. However, as with many things in life, it didn't go exactly as planned. In fact, it was quite chaotic. Anyone familiar with the drama of Hollyoaks could have predicted that chaos would ensue.
The couple had been through a lot leading up to this day. Joel's estranged brother, Abe Fielding, and his equally estranged mother, Marie, had caused quite a stir. And let's not forget the deadly crash that left Joel fighting for his life. To add to the drama, Joel's ex, Cleo McQueen, also made a reappearance.
With all of these obstacles, it's no wonder that Leela had her doubts about marrying the former priest. But despite everything, they decided to go ahead with their plans, much to the frustration of their loved ones. They wanted to do things their own way and keep their upcoming nuptials a secret.
Unfortunately, Marie's unexpected presence in their home made it difficult for them to plan their big day. But they were determined to make it happen. They came up with a plan to invite their friends to a special lunch, which would turn out to be a surprise wedding.
The wedding planning hit a snag when Liberty Savage accidentally let it slip to Marie that Joel and Leela were engaged. Needless to say, Marie was not pleased. A showdown between the two women ensued, with a slap included. Fed up with Marie's behavior, Leela kicked her out of the house. Surprisingly, she found comfort in an unlikely confidante, Cleo.
The day of the wedding arrived, and there were still many questions and uncertainties. Peri Lomax was angry that her mother hadn't told her about the true purpose of the lunch. And to make matters worse, it seemed like everyone in the village knew more than she did.
As the guests gathered for the wedding, Cleo saw Joel on the city walls and took the opportunity to have a word with him. This didn't go unnoticed by Abe and Marie, who became suspicious of their former lovers. Meanwhile, Ste Hay pleaded with Warren Fox for a day off duty so he could spend time with his loved ones before his court case.
Despite all the drama and uncertainty, Joel and Leela were determined to exchange their vows and rings and say "I do." But just as they were about to do so, Marie arrived at the venue with a big announcement. Will the wedding still go ahead?
