Love over a coffin nearly killed my bloke with shock
Debbie Holmes thought the last place she would find love would be at a funeral.
But when she helped organise her stepdad's funeral she couldn't help but fall for Jason, the dishy funeral director. He felt the same and two months later the two got together.
Jason proposed but Debbie kept putting him off, didn't want a traditional wedding. then she had an idea, decided to surprise Jason.
She organised a reception for 80 family and friends in secret. He carried on oblivious while she held whispered phone conversations in the next room, organising seating plans, flowers, the cake, DJ and all the invites.
Everyone invited had to be in on the secret too, even his mum, family, best mates and next door neighbours.
With three weeks to go she told him she'd arranged a small registry office wedding for 11 of them - that was enough for Jason and he was thrilled.
The ceremony was lovely and Debbie told him they were going for a quiet lunch at a hotel. All 80 guests were quiet as a mouse waiting for them. She led him into the room and he tried to leave, thought they'd walked in on someone else's wedding. Then the penny dropped and everyone cheered.
Debbie, who’s 42, said: “We met in the strangest way possible so its only fitting that our wedding day was a bit different too. It was a fantastic day and the best party I've ever been to!”
