Just found this in a newsgroup:
DALE WINTON is to marry Forces Sweetheart Nell McAndrew tomorrow in a
bizarre secret ceremony, the News of the World can reveal.
The bisexual king of light entertainment and stunning model Nell will tie
the knot at the Pennyhill Park Hotel, at Bagshot, Surrey.
It is unclear which of them will appear in flowing white, though Nell was
this week seen trying on an outfit at the Mirror, Mirror store in London's
Crouch End.
Incredibly the pair will exchange rings and vows in front of a minister with
Cilla Black as Matron of Honour. Blackburn soccer boss Graeme Souness will
be best man.
Celebrity guests, who have all been sworn to secrecy, will include Esther
Rantzen, Barbara Windsor, Anthea Turner, Kym Marsh, Jack Ryder and Phillip
Schofield. Opera star Russell Watson will sing hymns at the service.
Hidden
When the News of the World contacted Dale yesterday, he said: "Oh no!
Someone's let the cat out of the bag. I'm not saying a word."
But he then confirmed: "I am getting married. But all I can say is Nell is
the most beautiful girl. She is stunning, has a big heart and is wonderful.
I love the News of the World but I can't say any more." Nell added: "How on
earth did you find out about this? I can't possibly talk. But perhaps Dale
has hidden depths!"
Dale, 47, and Nell, 29, have never been romantically linked.
And here's the catch...the marriage will be televised on May 25 on new
channel BBC3, under the title Celebrity Wedding. Dale's agent would not say
if the marriage was for real or a TV stunt. There is also believed to be
lucrative deal with OK magazine.
His agent said: "All I can say is that Dale is getting married and it's
going to be televised. I can't comment on the wedding. We want to keep that
a mystery for the TV show."
But Nell doesn't even know if the marriage is strictly legal. Those details
have been left in the hands of the 'bride and groom's' agents.
The odd couple will exchange wedding rings with 'humanist celebrant'
Vivienne Donnithorne conducting the service.
Leading humanist minister Dennis Cobbel explained: "Humanist weddings are
chosen by people who wish to celebrate their marriage in a manner they want
to, rather than through religious method.
"Of course, couples who have a humanist service still need to get their
wedding made legally binding through the use of a register office."
An insider said: "Dale and Nell will read self-written passages and some
from Shakespeare. There will be no reference to God."
There's just one person who won't be rejoicing-her 34-year-old boyfriend
Paul Hardcastle. Our source added: "It may well be a stunt for TV and OK but
it's still a service."
