He only recently popped the question to boyfriend John-Paul McQueen, following a successful stint in rehab.
But
Ste Hay and his fiance have clearly decided a long engagement is not
for them, after filming scenes for Hollyoaks' first same-sex wedding
recently.
The
couple, played by Kieron Richardson and James Sutton, were seen
kissing outside a pretty Liverpool church while their on-screen family
showered them in confetti.

In
scenes set to air on Channel 4 on Christmas Eve, the stars are seen
looking dapper in grey, three-piece suits, complete with rose corsage.
However
31-year-old James' role sees him arrive at his big day still dressed in a
Geri Halliwell-inspired, Union Jack dress, covered in sequins, and
white platforms.
It
is thought the groom-to-be ended up stranded following a messy stag
night, before hitching a lift from a group of rugby players in order to
make it there on time, DigitalSpy reported.

midriff in between takes.
Speaking ahead of the hour-long special, James told All About Soap: 'There's finally a little bit of happiness, which is what they haven't had much of together so far.

What's up? Nana McQueen, played by Diane Langton, looked a little concerned as she spotted the boys outside
'It's
all going really well, but then there's a bit of a bombshell at the end
of the wedding. It's a huge revelation, in classic soap fashion.'
He continued: 'It's such a well-written episode and it's an hour-long special as well, which is great.'
The 28-year-old, who is set to marry his real-life partner Carl Hyland in spring 2015, also told the Mirror: 'It is a little dress rehearsal for me in real life. But I have learned not to have any McQueens at my real wedding!'
