Michelle said: 'He asked where, and when we said Graceland he said, ''Oh I've never been there, I would love to come and watch you get married and I will bring my mum.''
'So we said yes and sort of laughed it off, never imagining that he would actually turn up. When we arrived at Graceland our lovely wedding co-ordinator told us that two of our friends were there...'

Michelle admitted she thought some of her loved ones had flown over from the UK to surprise them, but in reality it was the hotel handyman.
'Then she said it's John and his mum from our hotel. It was hilarious - they were there in their jeans, T-shirts and trainers. It adds to the story and the craziness of it all. We even had pictures with them,' she said.
