New pics: Dev and Bernie's wedding on Coronation Street

Love is in the air for the residents of Weatherfield next week when Dev Alahan and Bernie Winter prepare to tie the knot in one of the most colourful weddings the Street has seen.

But the celebrations are not without their fair share of drama, including stag party shenanigans, a burglary, surprise proposal, shock collapse and a hospital dash midway through the ceremony.

The week starts with the stag and hen parties. Having saved money buying cheap suits for Dev and Aadi, Bernie is having a low key hen do in the bistro when word reaches the hens that the boys have hired a pole dancer at the Rovers. A furious Bernie storms into the Rovers to find the stags cheering on the pole dancer, but is all as it seems?

As the big day dawns on Wednesday (August 6th) Dev and Bernie’s dream wedding goes from bad to worse when the quads fall ill and have to watch with Joseph on live stream, Bernie forgets her lucky charm locket containing the photo of Paul and when she runs home to get it she disturbs a burglar.

Meanwhile the restless guests back at the Bistro are entertained by a song from Debbie Webster who surprises Ronnie with a proposal, will he accept?

After such an eventful start to the day the guests take their seats for the main event and a glowing Bernie walks down the aisle towards Dev to make their vows.

With the service about to start, Dev and Bernie share loving looks, but suddenly Bernie struggles to breathe and collapses in front of a shocked Dev. Is the dramatic day about to end in tragedy or will Bernie and Dev tie the knot?

Jane Hazlegrove said: “The day goes from bad to worse! That’s what is so brilliant about Coronation Street, you don’t know what you’re going to get until you open the page of the script and that’s what is so fantastic about how it plays out – we’ve got this woman raving down the aisle and the next minute she’s collapsed and an ambulance is on its way!”

Jane also revealed that she had a hand in the design of Bernie’s unconventional wedding dress.

She said: “I knew that Bernie wouldn’t go down the road of wearing a traditional dress. I had seen some old footage of Elkie Brookes on TV and she was wearing a kaftan. I am a big fan of Elkie so that was the initial inspiration, but this is for Bernie so it needed to be a bit extra. Our fantastic talented costume department came up with the 1970s style white dress that is a bit Elkie Brookes, a bit Demis Roussos and very Bernie Winter.”
