Coronation Street star Alexandra Mardell paid a very special tribute to her late father on her wedding day. The actress, 29, who tied the knot to her actor husband Joe Parker in a stunning North Yorkshire ceremony, lost her dad Michael in 2016 after he died from cardiomyopathy.
Alexandra tells OK! she wanted to make sure he was present on the day, bringing along a blanket she got made shortly after he died.
The patchwork blanket is made from his clothing, and features his name, Michael Mardell. "We had a blanket made out of Dad’s shirts and set up on a chair throughout the ceremony," she explained. "It felt like we had him with us.” Alexandra's dad passed away suddenly aged 54 from undiagnosed cardiomyopathy, a condition which stops the heart pumping blood effectively around the body.
Alexandra's stepdad Mick walked her down the aisle, as she gushed: “I was really glad to have him there. He calmed me down and we just had a laugh on the way.” On the moment he saw his wife-to-be in her dress for the first time, Joe told us: "I turned around and as soon as I saw her I just cried straight away.” The happy couple said "I do" on Sunday 19 March at The Tithe Barn in Bolton Abbey, Skipton, North Yorkshire, in front of 90 guests.
