Failed X Factor contestant ecstatic after tying the knot with her significant other, but disappointed by absence of well-known sibling due to ongoing family conflict.

Samantha Chawner, a former contestant on the popular talent show X Factor, recently tied the knot with her longtime partner, Matthew Parkinson. For those who don't remember her, Samantha's audition on the show, along with her sister Emma, was quite memorable and has since become a popular meme. However, while her singing career may not have taken off, Samantha is now celebrating a new milestone in her personal life.

The couple exchanged vows in a beautiful ceremony in Manchester over the weekend, surrounded by family and friends. Samantha, now 36, looked stunning in an ivory gown, while her husband, 39, looked dapper in a three-piece blue suit and fedora. The bride described the moment as "magical" as she walked down the aisle to the sound of Shania Twain's "From This Moment On," ready to start her new life with Matthew.

Unfortunately, not all of Samantha's family could be there to celebrate with her. Her father and younger sister were absent due to a family feud, and her mother, who was once a guest on the controversial show "The Jeremy Kyle Show," passed away earlier this year. However, Samantha was able to reconcile with her mother before she passed away, and her sister Emma shared a touching tribute to their mother on social media.

Samantha's journey hasn't been easy, with multiple failed auditions and negative press and trolling. However, things turned around for her when she met her now-husband on a dating site in 2019. After two months of chatting, they went on their first date, and eventually got engaged during the pandemic. Though they faced heartbreak with three lost pregnancies, the newlyweds are still hopeful to start a family someday.

Samantha's appearance on X Factor may have been a blast from the past, but her wedding is a new chapter in her life, filled with love and happiness. And for those who are curious, her favorite audition from the show's earlier days is Mariah Carey's "Hero," which she sang with her sister Emma.
