A bride surprised her groom on their wedding day - by singing to him as she walked down the aisle.<br /><br />Sophie Hammill, 31, performed 'You’re Still The One' by Shania Twain as she and her dad, Alan Jennings, 59, walked past wedding guests, towards her partner, Paul Hammill, 36.<br /><br />Sophie says she was "very nervous" in the run up to the moment - but it all went well and she managed to get through the song without any tears. <br /><br />Paul "struggled to contain his emotions" when he turned around and realised Sophie was singing - and the couple say it made their big day all the more special.<br /><br />Mum-of-six Sophie, an ambulance practitioner and student paramedic, from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, said: “A few months before the wedding, I decided to give it a go. <br /><br />"Only my maid of honour, bridesmaids, and mum knew about it - no one else did. <br /><br />“I wanted it to be a surprise for Paul. I was worried at first that he’d find it awkward but he really loved it. <br /><br />“He felt quite emotional - I think he was trying not to cry in front of all his friends."<br /><br />Paul, an associate ambulance practitioner, said: "I couldn't believe it when I turned around and she was singing - I struggled to contain my emotions. <br /><br />"I was blown away - she did an absolutely amazing job organising our big day.<br /><br />"This was just the icing on the cake!"<br /><br />The pair tied the knot at the Engine Shed - a wedding venue in Wetherby, West Yorkshire - on July 13, 2024. <br /><br />Sophie said: "It was such an amazing day from start to finish - I couldn’t have asked for anything else. <br /><br />“I’m not really a singer to tell you the truth - Paul and I share six children, five from previous relationships and our son who was born eight months ago, and I’m a student paramedic so I don't really have the time.<br /><br />"But I've always enjoyed singing since I was little and love singing in the shower or while I’m driving. <br /><br />"I was very nervous before I started performing but with all the stress and build up before the wedding day, I also just felt so relieved and happy to get to the day.<br /><br />"My little girl, Amaya, was singing along as I performed and I think all my children were very surprised."<br /><br />Sophie’s nine-year-old son, Eli, posted the video on her TikTok account - @sophiesings92 - and it has since gone viral, racking up over 45k likes and almost 900k views. <br /><br />Sophie said: “The response online has been overwhelming. <br /><br />"I've never used TikTok before - my boy posted the video for me - and now my kids say it’s gone viral which they think is brilliant."<br /><br />Sophie and Paul share six children - aged between eight months and 14. <br /><br />The pair met at work in their roles as ambulance staff in 2018. <br /><br />Paul proposed to Sophie on December 11 2021, at a restaurant in Wetherby where they went on their first date.
