Fake Police Crash Darlington Wedding, Then Break Into Song

Bride Robyn Ellis-Robson planned the stunt months in advance, keeping it secret from guests.

Overview

  • Two performers posing as police entered the reception at the Croft Hotel in Darlington and pretended to seek the bride's father before revealing a musical act.
  • Video shows the bride shouting "not on my wedding day" moments before the performers launched into All You Need Is Love and a medley of love songs.
  • Only the groom, Arron, and the bride's father, Steven, knew of the prank, which left many guests initially alarmed before the room erupted into singing and dancing.
  • Singers Steven James and Gary Hodgson carried out the ruse after original 'singing policemen' cancelled three days prior, with No1 Singing Waiters stepping in to supply the act.
  • The reception followed an earlier Las Vegas ceremony and featured showy touches including a ten-foot cake, a choreographed first dance, and three dress changes.
