Neighbours Golden Couple: Libby and Drew

Rings on their Fingers

When Ramsay Street's Drew Kirk proposed to his girlfriend Libby Kennedy back in February, we were all disappointed when she turned him down. However, a nation of collective sign of relief- as  Libby finally agrees to wed the handsome hunk! "It all begins when Drew's Aunt Minnie sends them a voucher to get photographic portraits done," explains Kym Valentine, who plays Libby. "When they arrive at the studio, they are told to dress up in these old-fashioned costumes, and Libby chooses a Victorian wedding dress. Drew gets caught up in the romance of it all and jokingly proposes. And to his surprise, Libby actually accepts!"

According to Kym, the time is now right for Libby and Drew to tie the knot. "When Drew first proposed, Libby was under a lot of pressure from her  friends and family to say yes," she explains. "Everyone though they made the perfect couple and wanted them to marry. But with all that pressure, Libby couldn't think clearly about what she wanted. Now the attention has died down, she realizes that she'd love to be Drew's wife." Not surprisingly, news of the engagement brings tears of joy in the Erinsborough cul-de-sac. "The Kennedy clan are ecstatic, especially Libby's mum, Susan," Kym reveals. "And Drew's family are over the moon, too."

However, as viewers will discover later in the month, there is one local who is far from pleased when she learns of the impending nuptials. When Geri, Libby's work rival, hears that the couple are planning to have a long engagement, she quickly sets about making trouble. "Geri butts in and makes a bitchy comment, basically insinuating that a long engagement means that they don't really love each other," Kym says. "So they bring the date forward. Libby decides that as they are going to spend the rest of their lives together, there doesn't seem much point in waiting any longer."

While Kym says she is happy that Libby will finally walk down the aisle, she knows that the path to marital bliss still has a few twists and turns left in it. "Everyone loves a wedding," she says. "Me included! But with Drew and Libby's past track record, there is bound to be some kind of drama on the big day- the car will break down on the way to the church or the dress will be ruined. Whatever happens though, fans will still love it!"
