HELLO! Exclusive: 'Sound of Music' star Connie Fisher weds in idyllic Welsh setting

Thefxworks was there to record the beautiful wedding at St Donat's church with Hello Magazine.

Singer and Sound Of Music star Connie Fisher has married the man she met two years ago on a station platform.

The 27-year-old singer wed international banker Jeremy Reed on September 11th, at pretty St Donat’s Church, near their home in the Vale of Glamorgan.

In a break from tradition, Connie’s mum, Jan, gave her daughter away, whilst the singer’s father Michael, who is divorced from her mother, read a poem from AA Milne’s Winnie the Poo.

In an exclusive interview with this week’s HELLO!, the bride explains the significance of the reading: “Winnie the Poo was my favourite childhood character and Dad would read stories to me every night,” said the singer, who was 12 when her parents split up. “So it meant a lot to me to have him read that poem at my wedding,”

Connie met divorcee Jeremy on Platform 1 at Cardiff station, when they were both traveling to London for work. They got chatting, but had different ticket types so were unable to catch the same train. They parted without having swapped telephone numbers, or even names, and only got back in touch after Jeremy, who hadn’t a clue at the time who Connie was, managed to track her down with the help of a mutual friend.

Their day was dotted with references to their chance meeting, with the tables at the wedding breakfast numbered as platforms.

“Before Jeremy proposed, I didn’t think that getting married was that important to me,” Connie admits. “But to make that public declaration of our love in front of our families and friends, and to feel their love and support for us, was so special and so personal.

“It was the most amazing day and we will treasure it for the rest of our lives.”
