Their journey has been far from plain-sailing, with the recent death of Matthew's father prompting Trixie to ask her fiancé if he wanted to postpone the wedding. But the big day is going ahead, albeit with further bumps in the road, including a missing Aylward tiara that Trixie desperately wanted to wear.

As ever, a number of guest stars have been drafted in for the episode, with Trixie's brother Geoffrey descending upon Poplar to assist with the last minute preparations – of which there are plenty.

Speaking to RadioTimes.com about the wedding, Trixie star Helen George said: "She wants to plan the perfect day, for him [Matthew] as well. She wants it to be perfect, and there are a lot of pressure because he has been married before. And the family that he's part of as well, I think she feels that pressure."

She went on to say that the ceremony is "beautifully filmed", adding: "It is a really gorgeous and opulent and incredibly romantic and beautiful wedding. But I think what's interesting is beyond that, and where they go next."
