In the summer of 2016, Carol marries Robbie in a double wedding along with Decco Bishop and Kerri-Ann Boyle. The wedding does not go according to plan however, as Carol's father Trigger turns up to the ceremony drunk and is determined to ruin his daughter's big day. As Carol is being driven to the wedding by Wayne Molloy, Trigger suddenly steps out in front of the car and is knocked to the ground. Wayne quickly gets out of the car and runs to help Trigger, who is scrambling to his feet, but is punched in the stomach and sent to the ground. Trigger then begins to kick Wayne and as Carol runs to Wayne's aid, he attacks her by grabbing her hair and then punches her in the face. When Carol turns up to exchange vows, Robbie is horrified to see her all bloody and bruised. Robbie later spots Trigger sitting at a table and goes over and drags him out outside. Trigger grabs a glass bottle and threatens Robbie with it but Robbie quickly gains control and delivers a bad beating to Trigger. Carol's ex, Dan - who serves as Robbie's best man - calls '999' and orders everyone back inside. During their first dance, Carol and Robbie are forced to hide what had happened as the sound of sirens from an approaching ambulance grows louder.
