McLeod's Daughters Thursday 8 November, 8.30pm

On the eve of the big McLeod’s Daughters wedding, the groom finds himself in jail. Will he make it to the church on time?

It's the day before his wedding to Stevie, and Alex is returning with Marcus Spencer, having done a deal with Jack Waters. They come across a guy broken down on the side of the road - with a bull - and Alex's great mood sees him offer to drop the bull off. But they're pulled over by Constable Oliver, an over-eager new recruit who's just arrived in Gungellan. He informs the boys that the bull is stolen - and in his mind, they're the prime suspects. Would they mind accompanying him back to the Station?
Alex tries to plead his case as an obvious case of mistaken identity, but Constable Oliver is new to district so has never heard of the otherwise very well-known Ryan family. The boys have to wait for the Stock Squad agent… but of course he is held up! So when night falls, Marcus decides to call their half sister Ashleigh, a lawyer who they are sure will be get them out in a jiffy. Ashleigh promises to drive to Spencer to find Jack Waters to give their alibi, but morning comes and Ashleigh still hasn't returned. Alex is starting to freak - if he's not out of here soon, he's going to miss his own wedding!

Nothing seems to be running smoothly for the rest of the wedding party either. Stevie is far from a beautiful bride when Rose attempts to tint her eyelashes - leaving her eyes looking like two huge, puffy volcanoes. Tayler, meanwhile, asks Patrick to be her date for the wedding. He's chuffed, and accepts, but in the process of comforting Rose after her mishap, he manages to become her date for the wedding as well.

Stevie finally hears about Alex's detainment, and true to form takes matters into her own more-than-capable hands. Puffy eyes and prison aren't enough to stop her wedding from taking place at long last! But the drama is not about to stop with the wedding, as catastrophe strikes leading Ashleigh to make a stunning announcement to Marcus. Everyone in Gungellan better get used to seeing a whole lot more of her in the future…

Stevie and Alex's long-awaited wedding is tonight, on McLeod's Daughters, Thursday 8 November at 8.30pm, TV2.
