After 32 years on air, Neighbours has screened its first same-sex wedding.
And Magda Szubanski officiated with the most sass.
When someone dares to say they missed the #DaaronWedding today! 😮😮😮 Never fear, you can catch up here - https://t.co/UR14MS6jIq https://t.co/oBFfnAWKVo
Yes, Madga, the patron saint of last year's marriage equality vote, took up a cameo role on our most iconic TV show to make Australian television history.
The wedding was not without drama. Magda was cast as "back up celebrant" because Susan Kennedy - long suffering wife of Dr Karl - was supposed to marry David [Takaya Honda] and Aaron [Matt Wilson] but something went down so she couldn't do it but then she could so wanted to do it again...
(I honestly do not care. I got bored with her and her drama in the early 2000s during the whole Izzy affair plotline).
Anyway, Magda refused to give up the gig and applied this searing burn.
Fans were thrilled with the episode.
I’m crying #Neighbours

Been looking forward to this for weeks and the #DaaronWedding did not disappoint. As a gay engaged man myself it was such a historic and proud moment to watch. @takayahonda @MattyWilson88 & everyone on @NeighboursTV have done a fantastic job with this storyline 💚🏳️🌈💍
I love @takayahonda and Stefan Dennis's interaction in this moment. David is living his best life and Paul is beaming like the proudest dad on earth. #neighbours #weddingoftheyear #DaaronWedding https://t.co/Z6Xa8u2z2i
Even Matt Wilson's 87-year-old grandma was chuffed and left him this bloody adorable voicemail.
Thus confirming no one does a wedding like Neighbours.
In celebration of David and Aaron’s wedding let us not forget that #Neighbours do weddings like no other!! #DaaronWedding https://t.co/W1GvTAroQA
And just when you though this couldn’t get any more iconic, David and Aaron walked down the aisle to “Especially For You” – the Kylie and Jason Donovan duet from the ’80s.
Aaron and David getting married soundtracked to Especially For You on @neighbours was pure soap genius! Great cameo by @MagdaSzubanski too! #DaaronWedding #Neighbours
Oh my god they’re walking down the aisle to #EspeciallyForYou!!!!! I’m a mess #DaaronWedding #Neighbours
