And there are problems along the way. There are teething problems with the wedding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we\u2019re introduced to Trixie\u2019s brother Geoffrey, who\u2019s so much fun and becomes the wedding planner as well. There\u2019s a bit of a sort of My Best Friend\u2019s Wedding vibe about it. There\u2019s a lot of calamity and fun to be had with it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut of course, it\u2019s Call the Midwife, so there\u2019s a flip side and there\u2019s a downside. There\u2019s a tragedy.
