EXCLUSIVE: The X Factor star Ray Quinn and his new wife Emily Fletcher share all the emotion and joy from their Champagne-themed nuptials in a magnificent castle
The X Factor's Ray Quinn is married! Fairytale castle wedding - hidden tributes, emotional vows and impromptu karaoke
Emily’s parents separated when she was a baby and she was brought up by Simon. “He’s like my best friend, he raised me from when I was a little girl,” she shares, “so it was very, very special that he walked me down the aisle.”We’re speaking to the couple over Zoom and they look every inch the loved-up newlyweds as they share kisses – and a few tears – over their memories. It’s obvious they’re still feeling all the emotion.
“We put on our favourite music and were just getting excited about the day. When I had my hair done I was just rehearsing my vows so I’d be able to say them to Ray properly."She continues, "I wanted him to hear every word. It was all quite relaxed. My mum Nikki and stepmum Fiona were also helping withEmily dressed Summer in an adorable floral Lipsy dress, with an Ivory floral lace top and tulle skirt.
“The gold in my ring is from my dad’s wedding band. It’s the same gold my dad wore every day for 47 years,” he says. “So with the ring, the pin and the photo, my dad was very much at my wedding, thanks to Emily.” For her own finger, Emily chose a classic platinum band embedded with square-cut diamonds all round it.
“I wanted to be there for him when he was getting upset. And I wanted to hear every word and be present. I made sure I had tissues!”Following the meal and speeches, the wedding party returned to the Great Hall to let their hair down and celebrate the new Mr and Mrs Quinn. “When Emily was in her teens she was the lead singer in a rock band and she’s a brilliant singer. So for a bit of fun, I called Shane beforehand and asked if his band could learn Sk8ter Boi as a favour because I knew she’d either go mad or love it! So he introduced her onto the mic and she was like, ‘What’s going on?’ But she got up and sang it and the crowd went wild,” Ray says.
