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 heart-felt speech in praise of his new wife whereas 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. There is no emotion, however, between Nessa and Smithy as they reluctantly pose side by side for the wedding album. He tells her he has a new girlfriend, she tells him nothing about her pregnancy.

Everyone repairs to Billericay where Nessa and Smithy are at it again in the mud and Gavin and Stacey announce that they intend to get married in eight weeks' time, on the anniversary of her father's death. Pam is highly annoyed to learn that the wedding is to take place in Barry, leading to a slanging match with Gwen. Fortunately Bryn provides a voice of reconciliation, pointing out that all that really matters is that the young couple love each other. The mothers make up and prepare for a Welsh wedding.

After agreeing to build Pam and Mick a conservatory Smithy joins his mates for a lads' weekend in Barry, staying with Bryn, who goes clubbing with them in Cardiff and ends up being sick. Stacey and her friends link up with the boys, Nessa telling Smithy the date of her wedding to Dave Coaches. Stacey however is perturbed at her continuing failure to get pregnant, especially as she has stopped taking her contraceptive pills.

The Shipmans and Smithy go down to Barry for the wedding preparations. Bryn is much taken by a conjuror he wants for the reception whilst Smithy is mesmerised by Jammy, the stag party organizer and Pam has cause to regret telling everybody that she is a vegetarian. 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.
