Wedding singer finds love
23 September 2008
A singer who has helped to entertain hundreds of couples on their wedding day has found a true love of her own.
|
Andrea Pattison, 37, from Wearside in the north-east of England, has been a professional wedding singer for ten years.
She has wowed more than 1,000 couples with her vocal stylings and romantic songs on their nuptials during that period, the Sunderland Echo reports.
But on October 16th, Andrea will put down the microphone and don her wedding ring as it is her turn to tie the knot.
She will be marrying boyfriend of three years Richard Rutherford, who she met ten years ago.
He was so entranced by her singing that he invited her to join the band Laughing Jacks which supplied entertainment for weddings.
Now the happy couple are about to tie the knot for themselves, but will not be performing on their own big day.
Andrea told the Sunderland Echo: "It feels great for it to finally be my turn after years of watching other people getting married.
"We wanted our wedding to be different so it doesn't remind us of work.
"We're getting married at a small ceremony and instead of the pop music that we sing we're having rock 'n' roll and blues music, and I'm wearing a red dress because I always perform in red."
