Coronation Street viewers were devastated when Rana Habeeb died in the factory collapse on Wednesday, on her wedding day to Kate Connor.
Rana (Bhavna Limbachia) was trapped when the building came down, leaving her wife-to-be waiting at the church.
When Kate (Faye Brookes) heard what happened she rushes to be at Rana's side.
The couple shared their vows before Rana died.
After the heart-rending scenes aired, viewers took to Twitter to voice their devastation, saying they were heartbroken and in tears following Rana's death.

Meanwhile, Corrie actress Bhavna Limbachia revealed that she chose for her character Rana to be killed off because it was "the only fitting end" to her story.
She said it was the right ending for the popular soap couple, explaining: "Kate and Rana had fought so hard to be together and they had been through thick and thin together.
"I believe their love was so pure as two souls that there was no way that Rana was just going to have a change of heart, hop in a cab and leave.
"I felt that if they were to be separated, they had to be torn apart and it couldn't have been their decision.
"The only way to go was if Rana were to die. Rana would never leave Kate, ever."
Limbachia said she and Brookes "were in tears" filming their last scenes.
"The final scenes were hard, tough and emotional and I knew the final scenes were my final scenes as Rana so they were sentimental," she said.
"Knowing it was the end for myself and for Rana, it helped bring out the truth and the emotion of the character in the scenes.
"They were probably the most challenging scenes I have ever done on Coronation Street but I am very grateful to have been given that opportunity because it is not every day you get stuck under rubble and film such an epic storyline."
