A couple were amazed when their favourite band Wheatus performed a surprise gig at their wedding in Wigan.
Fran Barker and Sarah Barker-Mills have been huge of fans of the American pop rock band since their school days in the Noughties.
But their wedding day clashed with Wheatus' gig in their hometown on Bank Holiday Sunday.
Fran, 32, didn't want to miss out and messaged the band in secret on Instagram asking if they could do a one-off surprise gig at the ceremony.
To the bride-to-be's amazement, Wheatus and their tour manager agreed to do the gig FOR FREE.
Once the couple had exchanged their vows at the Old Courts in Wigan, the band appeared in front of the small congregation and performed an acoustic version of the 2000 hit, Teenage Dirtbag.
Fran's now wife, Sarah, 28, had no idea about the secret gig.
"We would have been at their actual gig had it not been our wedding day," says Fran.
"I just decided to message them beforehand. I said if you fancy crashing a big gay wedding that would be phenomenal.
"And to my amazement they were straight on the phone and said they would love to come.
"No one, including Sarah, knew this was planned. We exchanged our vows, had some prosecco and then they burst through the door.
"Everyone was screaming.
"To us, Wheatus songs are our music from when we first started dating.
"Sarah couldn't believe it and was singing her heart out. They performed Teenage Dirtbag, obviously, and our other favourite, A Little Respect.
"Their acoustic versions were amazing. They just rocked it. If anyone gets the chance to go see them, definitely go."
Fran and Sarah arranged their wedding on a budget, making all their own decorations and serving up delicious savouries made by their friends at HMPasties.
After their wedding ceremony, the couple and their party of 40 guests enjoyed a reception at Greenslate Community Farm.
"We have worked so hard to create a cheap but wonderful wedding," added Fran.
"It was the epitome of what can happen when friends and family pull together to create something magical."
Wheatus play The Deaf Institute in Manchester on Wednesday, May 29 .
