Leah and Justin’s wedding photos have been updated by Home and Away. The next week, the wedding will be broadcast on Australian television.
On Tuesday of next week, the couple will finally tie the knot in front of their loved ones in a ceremonial ceremony that has been long awaited.
Ada Nicodemou’s Leah marries her love after a tumultuous five-year romance with James Stewart’s character, Justin. She’s wearing a classic white gown.
Leah and Justin’s relationship has seen tremendous challenges in the last year. Justin’s life was in jeopardy and Leah experienced a mental breakdown that created severe fears about their future after Vita Nova snatched them late last year.
Thankfully, the couple has reconciled and is quickly getting ready for the wedding.
Accused of micromanaging the entire event, Leah ultimately agreed to let Justin manage everything.
Leah won’t know what to expect until the wedding day; the groom is in control of planning every detail of the event but for the dress, which he wisely left to his fiancée.
There will therefore be some surprises along the road, including John (Shane Withington) being picked to lead the blissful union.
Leah finally consented to let Justin handle the entire event after being accused of micromanaging the proceedings.
With the exception of the dress, which Justin wisely left to his fiancée, the groom is in charge of organizing every aspect of the wedding; Leah won’t know what to expect until the big day.
As a result, there will be some surprises along the way, such as John (Shane Withington) being chosen to preside over the happy marriage.
There will also be a few well-known personalities returning for Leah and Justin’s wedding.
As previously stated, Justin’s sister Tori (Penny McNamee), Leah’s son VJ (Matt Little), and Justin’s daughter Ava (Annabel Wolfe) will all be attending the celebration back in Summer Bay.
On the morning of the wedding, Justin shows up at the vineyard location with Tori and Ava at his sides.
Leah and Alf (Ray Meagher) show up at the vineyard shortly after that in an antique wedding car.
Leah, who has always insisted that she would never get married again, looks rather content as she takes in her surroundings and Alf helps her out of the car.
Luckily, unlike many weddings that have occurred in Summer Bay during the last thirty years, this one goes off without a hitch.
“I did ask (the writers) for that when they were suggesting that Leah and Justin get married,” Ada told Perth Now. “Oh please, I said, could it just be courteous? She’s had a lot of experiences!
“We all agreed that it would be lovely to simply witness a couple in love, celebrate that, and have a lovely wedding.”
Justin has kept the wedding plans under wraps, so Leah isn’t aware of them. When she finds out that several of her close relatives won’t be able to make it, she asks Alf (Ray Meagher) to walk her down the aisle.
But on the day of the wedding, she is shocked to hear from Alf that he would not be walking her down the aisle.
The explanation is that her son VJ is here and will definitely do it!
There had been speculation that VJ, who was last seen fleeing the port with his de facto daughter Luc in 2017, would be making a reappearance when Justin and Leah revealed that VJ’s close family members would be attending from overseas.
We did mention at the time that Matt Little is currently working as a production assistant on the program, so a comeback could be easily handled if necessary, even though many fans weren’t persuaded that VJ would make a cameo.
As VJ leads the stunning bride down the aisle, all eyes are on her, and Justin is completely taken aback by the sight of his future wife approaching him.
VJ hands Justin a grinning Leah.
As the ceremony begins, Leah sits at Justin’s side, and Theo (Matt Evans) as Justin’s best man.
Leah seems more than happy to have her close friend take on the important role of officiating her wedding, despite her prior hesitancy to have John do so. John’s ambition to perform the wedding ceremony comes true, giving him his big break.
The couple exchanges vows.
Amidst the guests, we spot Irene (Lynne McGranger) and Roo (Georgie Parker), grinning while Leah and Justin declare their love for one another.
As he looks on triumphantly, even Alf seems to be crying.
John declares Leah and Justin to be husband and wife, to much applause.
Justin and Leah exchange vows to commemorate their union.
Particularly having returned from England, Tori gives a moving speech.
It was when fans noticed Penny filming in Palm Beach that they first noticed Tori’s presence; the actress herself reportedly stated that she would only be returning for a few weeks to film the wedding.
Tori had departed Summer Bay in 2021, following her marriage to Christian Green (Ditch Davey), a fellow doctor. After Tori was employed by a hospital in London, the couple relocated to the UK together with their infant daughter Grace.
Penny said on TV Week that she had moved to London to begin a new life with Christian and Grace and that “something big” would always be needed to persuade her to go back to Summer Bay.
She asserts, “Justin’s wedding is a big enough reason.” “It made sense that she returned for it, given their close relationship.”
She goes on to say, “I felt I owed it to the fans because without Tori, that wedding would not have felt authentic.” “During the six years I played the storylines, I felt a sense of loyalty to Jimmy [James].” In the end, it was a clear decision.
In November of last year, the gorgeous wedding was caught on camera at a Sydney winery in the Hunter Valley.
We first became concerned that the couple would get married in the Hunter Valley when one of the team members posted a photo from the popular wine region on social media while on a site scout the previous year.
A short while back, Shane Withington joked on “X,” wondering if their choice of hotel for a location shot was the best one.
