So preoccupied with nerves about his father-of-the-bride speech, Neil Crossley forgot something crucial during a wedding ceremony when he walked down the aisle – his daughter.
“I was thinking, nothing can go wrong with this part,” the 60-year-old from Barnsley told Radio Sheffield.
“Little did I know what was about to happen.”
Mr Crossley’s daughter Amy Totty, 30, admitted she had also been feeling nervous on her big day, but her father’s endearing error at the ceremony in Holmfirth in October helped break the ice for everybody.
“It’s a special memory we definitely won’t forget and will laugh about for years to come,” said the Dodworth-based nurse.
