On Christmas Day, in a state of slight inebriation, Ollie McGrath and Lydia McGrath made an unexpected decision. They asked the beloved Miriam Margolyes to be a part of their April wedding. Despite her recent remarks disapproving of Harry Potter-themed weddings and adults who still hold onto the magic of the franchise, the 82-year-old national treasure surprised the couple by saying yes. Although their wedding was not Harry Potter-themed, the presence of the film's Professor Sprout made their special day even more magical.
In an interview with The Agency, groom Ollie explained that he and Lydia were huge fans of Miriam and had watched countless clips of her on Graham Norton. Lydia, in particular, was a big Harry Potter fan. When they sent their request to Miriam via the celebrity video messaging site Cameo, they never expected her to actually respond. But to their delight, she did.
Upon receiving the message, Lydia was overcome with emotion and the couple immediately decided to surprise their wedding guests with Miriam's special involvement. They asked her to send a message to their guests, and she happily obliged. Her advice was classic Miriam - witty and humorous yet also touching.
Despite her previous statement urging Harry Potter fans to grow up, Miriam's message to the newlyweds was heartwarming and sincere. As the message was played at the reception, gasps and laughter filled the room. Miriam addressed the guests as "young, brave people embarking on marriage" and offered her unconventional advice: "don't do it." But as she continued, it was clear that she was only joking and that her true message was to enjoy life and not take it too seriously.
Ollie and Lydia were thrilled with Miriam's involvement, stating that it made their day even more special. Their guests were also delighted and surprised by the unexpected celebrity cameo. According to Ollie, his sister-in-law even cried and laughed at the same time.
As a wedding content creator himself, Ollie wanted to do something different and unique for his own wedding. And with the involvement of a beloved celebrity like Miriam, it could even become a new trend in the world of weddings. Ollie and Lydia's experience proves that involving a celebrity in your special day can add an extra touch of magic and make it truly memorable.
So why not take a chance and reach out to your favorite celebrity for your next big event? As Ollie says, "Why not?" If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, don't hesitate to share it with the entertainment team at The Agency. They would love to hear from you.
