Home and Away has hinted that there'll once again be some notable absences at Tane Parata and Felicity Newman's wedding.

The happy couple are due to tie the knot on Australian screens next week, as the long-running soap celebrates its milestone 8,000th episode.

Tane and Felicity have already had a first shot at making it down the aisle, but their big day descended into disaster when Felicity was involved in a road accident on her way to the ceremony.

At the time, departed characters Gemma Parata and Chloe Anderson – who'd both left the show – sent their apologies and confirmed that they sadly wouldn't be able to make the trip over from New Zealand.

Tane was upset over these absences at the time, as he'd wanted all of his family to make it.

With a second wedding on the cards, Home and Away bosses have once again written in an excuse for possible no-shows – Tane and Felicity don't want any guests this time.

This week's Australian episodes saw Tane and Felicity take control of their own wedding plans by deciding to tie the knot as soon as possible.

Wanting this ceremony to have a different feel to their doomed first one, they opted to have a tiny guest list with no extended family in attendance.

Felicity's brother Cash and best friend Eden Fowler were the only ones to receive invites, so they could be official witnesses.

Felicity told Tane: "Our easy-peasy 'turn up and get it done' wedding is all sorted. This is amazing. I'm so glad we don't have to wait. No stressing about dresses, flowers, invitations, guests – especially guests."

When Cash and Eden later asked about other attendees, Felicity quipped: "There are none. If you weren't needed as witnesses, you wouldn't even be there either!"

Tane's nephew Nikau has also now left the show at Australian pace, moving to New York to be with Bella Nixon.

Nikau played a role in the ceremony from afar by giving Felicity some last-minute advice on the phone over how to recite her wedding vows in te reo Māori.
