Do they want different things?
Home and Away's Kirby Aramoana inadvertently sparks a wedding crisis for her boyfriend Theo Poulos on UK screens next week.
Kirby sends Theo into a spin when she makes a casual comment which hints that she wants to get married one day.
In upcoming scenes on Channel 5, Kirby and Theo both head to a nightclub for Felicity Newman and Tane Parata's joint hen and stag celebrations.
Kirby is visibly moved when Tane's nephew Nikau makes a speech in his role as best man.
As Kirby becomes tearful, she pokes fun at herself for being so emotional and jokes that she'll be a wreck at her own wedding.
This alarms Theo, who had never considered marriage as part of his own future.
The following day, Theo surprises his aunt Leah Patterson by asking strange questions about marriage.
Theo is interested in the way that Leah and her partner Justin Morgan have managed to stay strong and united, despite not being married.
Leah gets the wrong idea over the conversation and assumes that Theo is planning to propose to Kirby.
Leah and Justin try to warn Theo away from this possibility, but he clarifies that it's Kirby who seems to desire marriage when he doesn't want the same thing.
Theo explains that marriage as a concept is simply not part of the equation for him, but he's unsure how to explain this to Kirby.
Later, Theo takes the honest approach by telling Kirby that he doesn't want to get married.
Kirby is stunned that Theo has taken her casual comment so seriously, so she explains that it's way too soon in their relationship anyway.
Theo delves further into his reasoning, explaining that his anti-marriage stance partly stems from seeing his parents so unhappy when he was younger.
Kirby is surprised as Theo shares his traumatic home life, including how his violent father used to physically abuse him.
Will this bring the couple closer?
Home and Away airs these scenes on Wednesday, February 22 and Thursday, February 23 at 1.45pm on Channel 5 and 6pm on 5STAR. First-look screenings air at 6.30pm on 5STAR and the show also streams on My5.
