It's the Wedding We've Been Waiting for in 'Grantchester' Season 10

Everyone needs that jerk of a friend to force you to celebrate your birthday when you'd rather be wallowing in the misery of the current state of the universe. I've got one (waves at the previous byline), you probably have one, and every vicar in Grantchester has had one in Geordie. Poor Alphy is still learning this; he gets dragged away from his debates with God on opening mysterious envelopes, thinking they'll have a quiet pint to low-key celebrate. Instead, he finds himself at the Working Man's Club (the site of many former drunken vicar escapades in the past) with the whole gang. Just when it couldn't get worse, Geordie announces his birthday present has arrived: Meg.

Last week's focus on Leonard kept the Alphy-Meg relationship out of the headlines, but the side conversations made it clear that Alphy hasn't attempted to contact her (or returned her calls) since The Envelope came into his life. It's not exactly the wrong choice; if one would like to attempt long-term cohabitation and legally breed in the eyes of God, the state, and society at large, it's always polite to ensure that all your emotional baggage is in order and secured in the overhead compartment before proceeding.

However, it's also better to perhaps tell the other person that's what you're doing, so they don't think they've been left high and dry, something Meg was already massively wary about with Alphy. From the look on her face as she walks into the club, she's not entirely convinced he hasn't, despite whatever Geordie said to persuade her to show.
