While it might seem that Ed Sheeran has single-handedly taken the title of Celebrity Most Likely to Appear at a Wedding of late, let’s not forget that one famous face made it his mission this year to play for a few “I do’s”.
And in an even sweeter move, Gary Barlow is playing for his fans instead of fellow famous friends.
The former X Factor judge took to Twitter back in January and in a series of tweets explained how he is asked every year to do thousands of weddings, but has this year decided to grant the wish for three “HUGE fans.”
Ready for some fun ?

On Saturday night, he played his fifth wedding, going above and beyond his promise. The Take That frontman played for the nuptials of one of his biggest fans, 33-year-old mother-of-three Katie Andrews. Gary confirmed the gig on his Twitter account on Saturday night, and retweeted a series of messages from the bride and her pals. Katie is such a dedicated fan, she even has a series of tattoos inspired by Take That.
