Magic Moments > 2001 > Drew and Libby's Wedding Episode 3708
Written by Louise Le Nay, Directed by Gary Conway
The
Kirk and Kennedy families gather at Number 22 to toast the
wedding. A hospitalised Woody warns Stephanie to be careful
because Kev, one of the criminals seeking revenge on Woody,
knows what she looks like...
 ..
Steph
arrives at the Scully house in a very distressed state. She
tells a concerned Joe and Lyn that a man threatened her at
the pub. She goes on to explain about Woody’s involvement
with some guys in prison and that the man threatened not only
Steph, but also her family’s safety. Joe insists on involving
the police and Steph reluctantly goes along.
 ..
At
Number 22, Drew’s siblings have arrived from Oakey. Dougal
begins to cause trouble, but is soon put in his place after
a word from Auntie Minnie. A worried Kennedy family then join
with the Kirks for the traditional haggis eating ceremony,
to the dubious tune of Uncle Fergus on the bagpipes.
Joe
and Steph return from the police station and she is worried
about the dangerous position she may now have left Woody in.
They explain to Lyn, who is already verging on frantic, that
the police are going to investigate, but Steph still feels
guilty for betraying Woody like this. Lyn assures her daughter
that everything is going to be fine and not to worry, as least,
not until after tomorrow’s big wedding.
 ..
The
day of the wedding dawns at the Kennedy house. Libby is in
a blind panic over some nail varnish and Susan tells her it’s
completely natural, it’s just nerves. Libby says that she
has never felt like this before in her life.
At
the hospital, Steph explains to Woody what went on yesterday
evening. Woody feels guilty for putting her through that ordeal
and apologises. Steph then has to rush off to get ready for
the wedding and Woody insists that Lyn takes a photo of her
in her bridesmaid outfit, so that he can see what she looks
like in a dress!
 ..
Back
at Number 28, Lyn is helping Libby with her beauty regime
as various females return from inspecting the church. They
promise Libby that it looks beautiful. After arguing on the
phone in the background, Karl furiously breaks the news that
Grandpa Tom will not be attending as Castro the horse is sick.
Libby is quite hurt by this news, even though Karl assures
her it’s nothing personal. Steph arrives with the flowers
and Aunt Minnie gathers everyone together for a photo… just
as Dougal, at Number 22, irritates everyone with the camera
flash. The men of the Kirk family don their kilts, under the
instruction of Uncle Fergus, just as Dougal takes another
shot...
 ..
At
the church, Dione insists on photographing the Scully family,
much to Joe’s displeasure. Drew arrives, along with various
Kennedys, Kirks and Ramsay Street residents, and they all
hurry into the church.
Meanwhile,
at the pub, Lou is preparing to leave for the wedding. However,
his computer has crashed and he needs to take it out to the
car so as to drop it off for repairs first thing Monday morning.
Stubborn Lou refuses help from Kev the barman and in the process
of lifting the computer, he keels over in agony, having injured
his back.
 ..
Back
at the church, Drew waits nervously while Libby arrives in
a vintage car with Steph and Karl. Dione signals the bride’s
arrival and a proud Karl walks his daughter down the aisle.
 ..
 ..
Toadie
arrives at the hospital to find out what’s happened to Lou,
to whom he was meant to give a lift to the wedding. Sheena
explains that Lou is with the specialists, who need to perform
some tests and scans, in order to rule out the possibility
of a tumour.
Libby
and Drew take their vows, amidst loving shots of various couples.
They then happily leave the church, to the tune of pipesmen,
as man and wife. At a venue in the city, Libby and Drew arrive
for their wedding reception.
 ..
 ..
After
the meal, Karl gives his speech, speaking of how proud he
is of his daughter and how she always vowed not to marry until
she was at least 35 years old. Drew then upholds another Kirk
tradition as he, with help from Harold and Fergus, sings Wild
Mountain Thyme to his new bride. As the tune continues,
Libby and Drew say their thank yous and set off on their honeymoon,
but not before Steph, who has remained subdued throughout
the whole affair, catches the bouquet.

Notes:
The episode before this, 3707,
credited a character called Wade Grubb, played by Tim Sullivan,
who never actually appeared. At the beginning of the episode,
Steph speaks of a man threatening her, a scene that viewers
never saw. It is not known why this scene was never shown,
nor why the character’s name remained on the credits. Libby
and Drew’s wedding took place in the same church that was
used for the 1987 wedding of Scott and Charlene, the Holy
Trinity Anglican Church of Doncaster. The plot involving Lou’s
back injury was specifically written to explain the limp and
walking stick used by Tom Oliver, who required major back
surgery in real-life.
