“Chris had planned it all himself including choosing the ring after visiting several jewellers.

“I always thought that I would know it was coming but it completely surprised me.”

The couple visited Singleton Lodge and knew it was the right place for their big day.

On the morning of the wedding, the bridal party travelled to Singleton Lodge after having hair and makeup done at home for some pre-wedding photographs.

The groom and his groomsmen also enjoyed some pre-wedding drinks and pictures at Chris’ dad’s house before travelling to the venue.

Lynsy said: “Singleton Lodge looked beautiful on the day and with the sun making an appearance things couldn’t of been any better.

“My bridesmaids and close friend Rachael Harkin added to the ceremony with readings and Chris’ mum Jean and sister Jenni were witnesses.

“During the wedding breakfast, we were entertained by singer Dean Stansby who got people up out of their seats dancing and we hadn’t even had dessert!”

The relaxed atmosphere the couple wanted was created and a touching speech by the bride’s father followed.

Wedding guests were later surprised by the fantastic magician Sam Fitton who amazed the wedding party with his
close-up magic.

The couple, from Euxton, danced to Frank Sinatra Fly Me to the Moon as this was a song that reminded them of a holiday to Las Vegas. Saxophonist Al Grant performed too.
