UMVA has learned that Perrie Edwards' highly anticipated wedding to husband Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was almost derailed by a heart-wrenching discovery just hours before the ceremony.
The Little Mix star and the pro footballer, both 32, tied the knot in a scenic Catholic church in the village of Estoi, Portugal, surrounded by friends and family, including Little Mix bandmates Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall.
But the special day was marred by a terrifying moment when Perrie realised her precious diamond necklace, given to her by Alex after the birth of their son Axel, had vanished.
The star revealed that she had worn the necklace every day since receiving it, but on the day before heading to Portugal, she discovered it was gone, sparking a frantic search that left her in tears.
Hope seemed lost until the morning of the wedding, when her hairstylist, Aaron Carlo, made a stunning discovery that would change everything.
He found the necklace caught up in Perrie's hair extensions, and as he presented it to her, she was overcome with emotion, sobbing uncontrollably with relief and happiness.
Perrie gushed that the moment set the tone for the rest of the day, and she knew it was going to be the best day ever.
As she walked down the aisle, Alex was also overcome with emotion, and the couple shared a tender moment, crying their eyes out as they exchanged vows.
Perrie described the experience as "beautiful" and "full of love," with the room filled with an overwhelming sense of joy and celebration.
The wedding was a milestone moment for the couple, who have been together since 2017 and got engaged in 2022, and comes during a big year for Perrie, who dropped her debut solo album and welcomed their daughter Alanis in January.
With her music and family life thriving, Perrie seems to be embracing the challenges and joys of her busy life, and her wedding to Alex was a testament to their love and commitment to each other.
