After being together for almost 50 years, the legendary singer Denise Nolan has finally tied the knot with her long-time fiancé Tom Anderson. The couple first crossed paths in 1977 when Denise was performing with her sisters in The Nolans, and Tom was the drummer at the London Rooms. As fate would have it, he later joined Denise's band when she pursued a solo career and they started dating in the same year. It wasn't until the 1990s that Tom got down on one knee and asked Denise to marry him, and they have been engaged ever since.
On their special day, surrounded by their loved ones including Denise's sisters Coleen, Linda, Anne, and Maureen, the couple exchanged vows on the famous Blackpool promenade. The bride looked radiant in a stunning beaded champagne gown paired with a dazzling blue blazer and matching fascinator, while Tom looked dapper in a smart grey suit. Their yellow and white bouquets perfectly complemented each other, and the newlyweds were all smiles as they stood side by side.
Following the nuptials, the happy couple posed for photos with Denise's sisters on a grand staircase, as well as with giant illuminated letters spelling out "love". In an interview with OK! Magazine, Denise shared that Tom's diagnosis with Parkinson's disease six years ago played a role in their decision to finally tie the knot. She explained that they didn't want to wait until his condition worsened and it became too difficult for them to have a wedding.
Denise also opened up about the loss of her sister Bernie to cancer in 2013, saying that it was another reason why they wanted to get married. Originally, they had planned to have a small ceremony with just themselves and a witness, but when Linda found out, she convinced them to have a bigger celebration. Denise expressed her gratitude to her family, especially her sister Linda, for their love and support on her special day.
The couple's evening reception was filled with dancing to Frank Sinatra and songs from The Nolans' repertoire, making it a truly memorable celebration. Denise also made sure that her late sister Bernie was a part of the day by playing a recording of their family singing a mashup of "You, My Love" and "One Hand" from West Side Story, which was played at Bernie's wedding.
The newlyweds couldn't be happier to have finally tied the knot after being together for so many years. And as for the forgetful moment when they almost left the flowers behind, Denise's brother came to the rescue and rushed back to get them, much to the relief of the generous Linda who had paid a fortune for them.
