EastEnders weddings never go off without some drama, and it looks as if Callum Highway and Whitney Dean will have plenty of trouble before tying the knot!
Not only do they have the returning Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) to deal with, but there's also the shadow of Callum's secret feelings for Ben Mitchell hanging over his head.
In scenes airing later this week, the tension building up inside Callum (Tony Clay) comes to the surface when he goes face-to-face with Ben (Max Bowden).
Harsh words are exchanged, with Callum taking out his frustration on Ben by attacking him in a fit of anger. What will this mean for his and Whitney's wedding day?
Earlier this week, the BBC's head of continuing drama, Kate Oates, revealed to Digital Spy that she actually changed the path of Callum's storyline towards this inner-struggle over his sexuality.
"Callum struggling with his sexuality wasn't on the cards when I arrived," she explained. "In fact, on the cards was Halfway and Whitney trying for a baby and that being the struggle.
What to Read Next
"I just didn't believe it as much as I might have done, because the dynamic of the relationship felt really strange. That was nothing to do with the actors, who were fantastic and giving these amazing performances."
Oates went on: "But the relationship still felt so new. They felt so young, and I didn't really know why they would want to drive their lives in that direction.
"Callum also just felt like such a blank canvas. There were lots of unanswered questions, which is what Tony Clay and I talked about when we first had a conversation.
"I think Whitney was his first, he'd been in the Army but I didn't understand why he'd left. He's always felt like a bit of a square peg and it just felt like he was somebody who didn't really know fully who he was. Callum was always running away from who he was.
"The relationship with his brother I always found really fascinating, because Stuart was such an enormous presence and so unpredictable and had obviously come from a really dark background himself. So Tony and I had a good chat."
EastEnders airs Callum and Ben's showdown on Thursday (August 29) at 7.30pm on BBC One.
