The Nolans have sadly already lost one sibling from the heartbreaking disease, as Bernie passed away from breast cancer on July 4 2013.
Nethertheless Bernie was still a part of Denise and Tom’s wedding as a a recording of Bernie singing Stevie Wonder’s Isn’t She Lovely? was played during the ceremony, as was a clip from Bernie’s wedding day back in 1999.

It was really lovely, with beautiful harmonies. I videoed it from the back of the room, and we played it on our big day.”
