Torchwood's Gwen Cooper Wedding Day



In our last post we talked about Red Head weddings going on in the Whoniverse... how poor old Donna could only afford discount tiaras, until the Doctor tinkered with time and gave her a winning lottery ticket as an anonymous wedding present before he regenerated.

Another wedding in the extended Whoniverse sprang to mind... Gwen Cooper in Torchwood, married Reece in the episode Something Borrowed, against all alien pregnancy odds.

After getting bitten in a pursuit with an alien, all seemed well on her hen night. When she woke up on the morning of her wedding, an immaculate conception come full term alien egg pregnancy.

Deciding the show must go on, Gwen insisted on getting married. The alien fight came to the wedding, resulting in the whole wedding party being given amnesia-drug laced champagne. Good times, Reece got the girl and Jack looked like his heart cracked just a little bit.

Gwen sported a lovely discount tiara headband and contemporary dress.
