I have been waiting a long time to be able to write this post. I won’t keep you in suspense a moment longer. Heather and Minty got married!!! And it is for real… Here is what happened.
Heather and Minty were pretending to be sweethearts so as to win a big magazine contest. The winners receiving 20,000 GBS in cash and prizes. They had agreed to play the part of lovers when Hazel, the girl Minty thought he was in love with and had entered the contest with… took a powder (Split).
Along the way poor Heather desperately wanted to believe the wedding would all be real. OK we all know Heather is not the most comely lass but Minty is nobodie’s prize couch potato either.
Forward… For months we have watched Heather and Minty share very tender moments, culminating with a kiss. Minty denied the kiss was real and Heather went back into herself crying. Now the faux wedding day arrives and Heather has decided to tell Minty that her love just so happens to be real.
Problem is, Hazel has blown back into town and wants to marry Minty. For a fellow that is less than a perfect specimen he sure is in demand. hazel wants Minty buuuut only on her terms. She wants to leave Walford and live a life that simple fellow Minty could never adjust to. Minty realizes this and also realizes that he has never been happier then when he was with Heather. He chases off to find her.
Shes gone! When she found out about Hazel and Minty, Heather got on a bus home to her mum. (Albeit an evil mum).
Who would have thought that Minty could run down a tour bus? He huffs and puffs but finally reaches the glass door. He bangs on the door and tells fair Heather he loves her and wants to marry her …today! The wedding goes off and I am reminded of a little film from 1955 called “Marty”. Find it and watch it. Congratulations Heather and Minty on a fine EastEnders Wedding.
