Why are Tom and heather getting married in such haste?

[Meretricious]

I've not listened for a while and suddenly Tom is getting married? What's going on? Would someone be so kind as to give me the gossip?

He is marrying Natasha not Heather. Heather(pet) was Ruth's mum.

They were at the register office and saw there was a space in her birthday in just a couple of weeks time, and decided that was a sign or something

Ahem!

Perhaps this is the thread you're looking for?

Although, tbf, this particular TA thread is rather giddier than usual, for obvious reasons.

The previous 99 generally got straight down to character assassination. Mostly regarding Pip.

Well, I'm not one to gossip ...

Nobody knows or understands. Lots of potential wedding guests are hastily making themselves scarce.

Ah ok so nobody knows,

I don't think he knows. And Natasha has not said anything on-air yet.

Tom has been running around trying to get a best man, rather like the parable of the wedding feast where those invited did not turn up. If I remember rightly, it ended with weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Which is what Tom and Natasha's marriage will do.
