The wedding ceremony progresses. Finally Matthew's car screeches to a halt outside the church and he makes a dash inside. Sadie and Alasdair are standing at the altar. Matthew runs up and pleads with a shocked Sadie - can he have five minutes with her, he knows he has made a mistake. There is uproar from everyone, but Sadie calmly turns to Matthew and announces he is too late, she is already married. Matthew continues to plead with Sadie whilst Alasdair, Tom, Jimmy and Carl try to take him out of the church. Matthew reveals that Sadie sent a wedding invitation to him, Alasdair is shocked as Sadie is unable to unlock her eyes from Matthew's. Outside the church Alasdair is trying to usher his new wife into the wedding car, whilst Matthew still tries to talk to her. Tom re-iterates that if he chooses Sadie, he will lose everything. Matthew hesitates, but declares his love for Sadie, everything else is meaningless. Sadie is transfixed as Alasdair moves in with a punch, Matthew is floored. Revealing where her heart truly lies, Sadie rushes to his side. Alasdair is gutted. Sadie makes a heartfelt apology to Alasdair and returns his ring. As he and his mother drive away, Sadie and Matthew kiss passionately. Catching an escaping Sadie and Matthew, Tom thinks they've made the wrong choice. Cold, Tom doubts that Matthew and Sadie will ever find happiness and regrets that he's lost another son. As Tom reclaims Matthew's company car he turns his back on his son for good. Driving back to Emmerdale, Tom wonders if he has done the right thing. Meanwhile Matthew and Sadie (still in wedding gown) resort to public transport. Laughing, they make their way onto a bus. They may not have a fortune anymore, but they have each other, but will it be enough? Andy and Katie take another step closer. Post funeral, Katie is having a drink in the Woolpack with her mum and Andy. Caroline beseeches her daughter to return to Greece with her, but Katie makes it clear she needs to stay. Katie becomes increasingly upset and leaves the pub. Katie tells Andy she believes it was her fault that her father died. They were arguing, she was shouting and he lost control of the car. Katie is upset that the last moments of her dad's life were so unhappy. When Andy enquires what they were fighting about, Katie clams up. Later, Katie and Andy go to see Jack and Diane. Andy is shocked to see that Daz seems to have moved into Annie's for good. He gives Andy an ultimatum - him or Katie. Katie runs out in distress, Andy sides with her, which Daz takes as his choice. He slams out. Later, back at Butler's, Andy comforts Katie. To spite Cain, Debbie snogs Jasmine. Ashley confides in Laurel that he thinks Jasmine and Debbie's relationship is a bit strong and reveals that he believes that they are "together." Later in the café, Ashley tries to confront the girls but they soon realise his mistake and begin to wind him up. When Ashley tells Lisa and Zak it's time that Debbie returned home as he thinks their friendship is intense, Cain overhears and asks if Ashley's implying that they are lesbians. They are all stunned when Ashley confirms he is. Later, in the café, Debbie is with Jasmine when Cain enters. Seeing them he makes a dig about Debbie being her mother's daughter. Pleased to have got a rise out of her dad, Debbie challenges him, asking what's wrong with being a lesbian. Gripping, a stunned Jasmine's face, she snogs her. Cain smirks and heads out, passing a stunned Ashley on the way. Ashley berates Jasmine and Debbie for parading their sexuality in front of the village. Debbie protests that she only did it to wind Cain up and Jasmine reveals that she was merely comforting Debbie earlier. Ashley is left feeling a little foolish, and apologises.
