Template:9th August



9th August 2012: Paddy spends the night at the Dingles. He is down about Marlon not being his best man, but agrees when Chas offers to take it on. Marlon receives news from his solicitor that he can stop Paddy and Rhona from taking Leo to New Zealand. He contemplates his next move and Laurel urges him to go to the wedding. In the church, Paddy is conflicted realising Marlon is definitely not coming to his wedding and allows Chas to lead him to the front of the church. Rhona arrives and Laurel wishes her good luck as they head inside. The ceremony begins and Paddy glances towards the door, hopeful that Marlon will arrive. Finally Marlon makes his decision and heads to the church. Paddy is delighted to see him, but Marlon wonders if he can bring himself to ruin their special day. As Paddy and Rhona take their vows, Paddy interrupts, insisting Marlon should be up there with them. Paddy and Rhona are pronounced husband and wife and Paddy cannot thank Marlon enough for being there. However, Rhona wants the day to be about them and not Marlon. The wedding reception takes place at Home Farm. Paddy interrupts Marlon and Laurel talking in the office and she covers that he was practising his best man's speech. Paddy is thrilled as Marlon convinces him everything is fine between them. Later however, Paddy and Rhona are devastated as Marlon reluctantly explains he has applied for a court order ensuring Leo will not be going with them.
