When groom Mark Stephens decided to serenade his new bride on their wedding day he didn't want to do anything cheesy ... so he sang her a song from Frozen.

Mark wanted to serenade his new wife Dawn because she is a huge fan of Disney movies, so he sang ‘Let It Go’ from the hit kids movie in front of a crowd of their wedding guests.

“I was laughing and crying all at the same time,” midwife Dawn, 33, told Manchester Evening News.

“There wasn’t a dry eye in the house. I said into his ear afterwards, ‘You’re a complete nutter!’”

Self-employed Mark, also 33, said: “Dawn loves the film and she plays the song all the time.

“Whenever she wants me to calm down, she always says, ‘Mark, let it go’. So I thought it would be totally different and ridiculous for a 17 stone man like me to sing a Disney princess song at our wedding.

“I was determined to do something for her but I didn’t want to do a stupid dance or a really cheesy song.

“It didn’t matter that I don’t have the voice of Michael Buble either!”

Dawn and the couple’s guests had no idea Mark was going to sing along to the song as the DJ clicked play at their venue, the Deanwater Hotel in Stockport.

Even Mark’s brother Andrew, who took a video of the number, was taken aback by his brother’s foray into singing.

But the surprise rendition went down a hit with the couple’s 155 wedding guests, as women in the crowd even starting singing along with Mark at the famous chorus.

But learning the lyrics was no mean feat for the crooner groom.

“I spent about a month learning the lyrics,” said Mark, who met his future wife-to-be online two-and-a-half years ago and jetted off to Portugal with her for their honeymoon.

“I had the CD on in my car all the time and was always singing along.

“Sometimes I had to be careful about singing at the traffic lights though because I would have got some very strange looks.”

Now the couple, of Brambling Close, Stockport, are hoping their 11-month-old daughter Caitlin will be a big Disney fan, just like her mum – and thanks to her dad.

“We can show her that video when she’s old enough to watch the film now, and she can see how mad her dad is,” laughed Dawn.
