Gavin is torn between the bride arriving at the church in a horse and carriage--Stacey's request--or by car, and Smithy is a reluctant church-goer to hear the banns read by an eccentric vicar who compares God to sandwiches. After the Essex party have gone, Nessa confides in Stacey that she is pregnant by Smithy, something she failed to tell him the previous evening when they shared an awkward moment together.

Billericay comes to Barry as the bride and groom hold their simultaneous stag and hen parties. Nessa is still holding back from Smithy the fact that he is about to become a father and Bryn is unsettled when Jason, Stacey's gay older brother, turns up. However the biggest shock of the evening is reserved for Gavin when he learns from Achmed, one of Stacey's ex-boyfriends, that Stacey has been engaged on five previous occasions. He has it out with her and, despite her declaration of love for him, the wedding looks to be in jeopardy.
Episode 6
The Big Day
Tue, Sep 30, 200830 mins
All doubts aside, Stacey arrives at the church in the white Bentley, with Bryn, who gives her away after reading a letter of anticipated congratulation from her late father. The ceremony passes off all right, though Bryn is still wary of Jason, Pete and Dawn argue at the reception, and Doris from next door comments on the bride's swapping one unenviable surname for another. Gavin gives a heartfelt speech in praise of his new wife, Smithy's best-man speech is literally speechless as he is overcome by emotion, rather like Pam and Mick as they perform "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" at the karaoke. But there's no emotion between Nessa and Smithy as they reluctantly pose side by side for the wedding album, he tells her he has a new girlfriend, and she tells him nothing about her pregnancy.
