Teenage brides Sian Powers and Sophie Webster can barely contain their matching meringue dresses as a chase scene unfolds on their wedding day.

The Coronation Street stars, played by Sacha Parkinson and Sophie Webster, head to the church with the intention of living happily ever after and being Weatherfield's first lesbian marriage.

However, when Sian discovers Sophie has cheated on her, she flees the altar and leaves her other half desperately trying to catch up with her.

The storyline has been scripted in a bid to write Parkinson out of the ITV soap, after she decided to quit in order to pursue other roles.

The girls tweeted about their day, with Sacha saying: 'In the church filming the wedding! Awwww! My last block is proving to be very emotional! #9Days #CoronationStreet!'

Brooke, who has double the number of followers, added: 'Going To Honestly Miss My Friend When She Goes I'm Sat In The Winny Filling Up @SachaLParkinson #themiddleoftheend #3years'

In October, viewers saw Sophie pop the question to Sian largely due to her guilt over kissing rebellious Amber Kalirai, portrayed by Nikki Patel, during a night out.

British actress Sacha, 19, said: 'Sophie proposes because she's confused by the feelings she's having for Amber.
'She decides the one thing that will keep her and Sian together is if they get married. But their parents aren't exactly on board, so it looks like things aren't going to go very smoothly.'
Meanwhile, Brooke, also 19, said: 'I think after this kiss, Sophie starts feeling something for Amber.

'I think she's never been able to put her finger on it before this, and then because it's happened and she's seen that Amber's willing to go that extra mile to just prove something to somebody, I think she kind of likes that. She's kind of in love with the whole Amber attitude.'
Last year, 17-year-old Sophie became Corrie's first ever lesbian character after former resident Violet Wilson, played by Jenny Platt, was originally intended to embark on a same-sex relationship.
In November 2010, Coronation Street won the new Broadcast Of The Year award at the Stonewall Awards ceremony in recognition of the gay storyline.
