Slamming down the phone, she rushed out to pick up Peter’s prescription, hoping to nurse her hubby despite him needing a liver transplant.

Spoilers have revealed the sweethearts are to walk down the aisle in an intimate hotel ceremony next week, though Peter’s health leaves the day uncertain.

Determined, Peter refuses and insists on walking down the aisle, where the couple rush through their vows as he remains unsteady.

Will Peter and Carla marry in time, or will Peter’s health delay their “I dos” back even further?
