Michael Ball surprises couple by performing at their wedding
Michael Ball surprised Dave and Dawn Lloyd at their wedding by appearing to sing at the ceremony in Stafford.
The couple, from Cannock, had been together for more than 25 years before they married at Weston Hall on Sunday.
Dave had proposed to Dawn on Ball's BBC Radio 2 programme in the summer, after arranging a surprise that Dawn thought was a studio tour.
Ball performed “Love Changes Everything” at the wedding, leaving Dawn and the guests stunned.
Weston Hall connects the wedding to the couple's early story: Dave first proposed there in the late 1990s, but the engagement did not officially go ahead after Dawn was overwhelmed and the ring was later lost.
The couple have now married at the venue where their story began, and they have three children.
The story does not say what comes next for the couple.
