Curtis said: Were all definitely older – I suspect no wiser. Its been really enjoyable working out whats happened to all the characters – and now they get back together for the 5th wedding. Where, as usual, not everything will go as planned.

But who will be tying the knot in the fifth wedding? Wed assume Charles and Carrie, but we wont place any bets just yet.
