Michael Ball's wedding surprise after radio proposal

A couple whose surprise radio proposal captured hearts across the country were given an unforgettable wedding gift when singer and broadcaster Michael Ball turned up to perform at their ceremony. "I just can't believe Dave has surprised me like this a second time.

I was fooled the first time and now he has got me again." Ball appeared without warning during the ceremony and performed Love Changes Everything, leaving Dawn and the wedding guests stunned. Dawn said the day had been "perfect", with Dave adding he was "grateful for what Michael has done for us as a couple and for all of the family and friends to enjoy it as well".

During the broadcast, Dave revealed he had already booked the wedding at Weston Hall, choosing a date close to 11 November, the anniversary of the day they first got together. But Dawn, who was 19 at the time, was so overwhelmed that she laughed, and the engagement ring was later lost, meaning the engagement never officially stuck.
