Christmas Special - The Wedding

Finally it's the weekend of Gavin Strong and Cheryl Fairweather's wedding. Arriving at a beautiful country house hotel and surrounded by their friends and beloved Valco family, the couple couldn't be happier. However come the morning of the wedding Gavin is nowhere to be seen. A few drinks in the local pub with the stag party clearly took a very messy turn and as Cheryl panics that Gavin's got cold feet, it's a race against the clock to get Gavin back from Dublin and to the wedding on time.
