When we agreed to sing at Lesley-Anne's wedding, we knew she was marrying into an Italian family, but not that she was marrying a local footballing star!
Her hubby Salvatore Bibbo is goalkeeping coach for Reading FC, and although we've never seen him in action on the football pitch, he certainly cut a fine figure as he walked down the aisle!
We had a bird's eye view of the whole ceremony at Holy Ghost in Basingstoke; as so many guest attended, we were squeezed onto the organ loft balcony overlooking the church. It was a moving experience, not least because we were right next to the organ pipes and when organist Nick Woods hit the low notes, we could literally feel them rumbling the floorboards!
For the lighting of the marriage candle, we sang "All I ask of you" from "Phantom of the Opera". Rather than organ accompaniment, we used a full orchestral backing track played through our high quality mini PA beside us in the balcony, which worked a treat in the acoustics of the church.
Despite a cloudy sky, the bride looked simply gorgeous in her full wedding dress and sparkling jewellery, and the gentlemen guests in their super-smart Italian suits almost outshone the ladies!
