Mark Wright reveals wedding day crisis he kept from wife Michelle Keegan

It wouldn't be a wedding without some sort of disaster

Mark Wright has opened up on the wedding day disaster which happened just hours before tying the knot with wife Michelle Keegan.

The 33-year-old reality star wed Michelle in a lavish ceremony in Suffolk in 2015 – and it wasn’t without its drama.

Mark revealed things didn’t go down as planned after his father-in-law was left without a suit moments before the ceremony kicked off.

What happened on the day?

Detailing the disastrous moment on his Heart Radio show, Mark explained: “My father-in-law right, it’s very hard to paint this picture, I love him very much, Mike if you’re listening – he’s normally keeping tabs on me, so he’s probably listening right now – I love ya!

“On the wedding day right, he’s panicking about his speech, obviously I’m not in his greatest books, although he loves me, he also loves his daughter a lot more, and it was a hard question when I asked him for hand in marriage for his daughter.”

He went on: “All I wanted was things to go smoothly for him, even his table plan, we moved that on the day, he went into the marquee and was like ‘why am I sat there, I want to be sat there.’

“We’re all there in the man cave, to make matters worse Michelle’s stepfather’s there as well, we’re getting on our suits, looking slick as you come.

“Black tie, tuxedo and I look around and my father in-law Mike is sat there in just a shirt, bow tie and rainbow coloured boxers. They were horrendous by the way, Mike, if you’ve got them, please throw them away right now!

“Anyway, the story goes like this, the only suit to not arrive, was his… One hour before he’s walking his precious daughter down the aisle and he’s stood there in boxer shorts, a shirt and a bow-tie.”

Mark and Michelle’s big day

Mark and Michelle tied the knot at St Mary’s Church in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

Meanwhile, their wedding reception took place at Tudor mansion Hengrave Hall.
