At Brookfield bungalow, Chelsea is hurricane-proofing Pip’s hair with extra spray when Stella comes in. The brides admire each other’s beauty – they’ve decided not to follow the bad luck superstitions of not seeing each other before the wedding. David arrives with the tractor decorated with fairy lights and Stella drives Pip to Lower Loxley in the pouring rain.

Clarrie and Eddie are ready to leave when they notice damage to the pole-barn roof. There’s no option but to move the turkeys to the shed a mile away. Once that’s done, they decide not to venture out to the wedding and choose warm baths and an old romantic film instead.

With claps of thunder adding to the wedding atmosphere, Pip and Stella exchange heartfelt vows in Lower Loxley’s Great Dining Room. At the drinks reception, Vince lets them know that the photographer is ready for them, but they’re quite windswept. Chelsea offers to get her make up kit from the bungalow to fix them and Vince offers to drive her.

Vince and Chelsea are held up by helping a lady and her children out in the storm with their car. The brides delay the photos and invite everyone to start the buffet over in The Orangery.

Having helped the lady, the perilous journey worsens for Vince and Chelsea, whose road is blocked by debris, possibly fly-tipped wood. They exit the car into the storm and start to move the wood. A tree cracks and Vince alerts Chelsea. They cry out and the car alarm activates as it crashes down.
