At this moment in my life, it's the best thing that's ever happened. I just can't tell you, I've been so excited but at the same time, trying to hold back because I want to be strong for them you know. I want to be there, I want to be their backbone basically." Trained celebrant Aled Jones also told Lorraine that being a celebrant is "the most joyful thing you can do" as he shared his advice with her live from his Classic FM studio after the
Singer and presenter reveled last year he'd added another string to his bow after training as an independent celebrant. After being helped by stylist Mark Heyes to pick out their suits for the big day, Lorraine told viewers: “Without further ado, let’s welcome our grooms Luke and Gavin!” as they entered the studio on the arms of their mothers.

We’ve all gathered here today, with your friends and family to witness your commitment to one another and to celebrate the beautiful love that you hold in your hearts both of you. It’s a real privilege for me to be a witness to your wedding and to show people across the country that love is love." An emotional Gavin shared his vows first, followed by Luke, before the couple exchanged rings and promised ‘to love each other today, always and forever’. While sporting a sparkly rainbow-striped sequin dress, Lorraine told them: “It’s gorgeous, thank you both. Now, in front of your loved ones and of course the whole country, I pronounce you husband and husband. You can now kiss the groom both of you!” She added: "It’s lovely, so lovely. How are you both feeling? I think I can tell by both of your smiles. Of course, very emotional. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your day with us, it’s been so lovely, so gorgeous and for everyone to be here as well on this really special occasion." Gavin and Luke with their mums (Image: ITV) Having got engaged at an Anastasia concert, the hitmaker shared a special message of congratulations and Lorraine revealed that TUI are treating Gavin and Luke to a romantic honeymoon in Santorini. And after his earlier interview, Alfie Boe also returned to the studio to perform a special rendition of Foreigner's 'I Wanna Know What Love is' for the newlyweds. And it appears viewers were feeling the love - and the emotions - at the scenes. @PatrickMooney said: "Can’t believe (okay I can) I’m crying at #lorraine this morning." @@metalgurugirl commented: "Awwwww this is so lovely. Luke and Gavin are bloody adorable #Lorraine #wedding." @azz_sparks shared: "That was lovely, thank you @reallorraine for helping us celebrate 10 years of same sex marriage on breakfast tv! It will be 3 years in July since me & my husband got married, a day still poignant, happy, emotional and a sense of freedom! #loveislove #Lorraine." @SeanZz97 added: "The wedding may have been a bit cringe but I'm happy for them both. As a gay guy myself. I'm really proud to see how far we've come #Lorraine." But some weren't sure with one claiming the show could've done better in honouring the pair's special day, writing on X: "They’ve proper sidelined the wedding, it’s now filler which is a shame because the grooms deserve better. Imagine your own wedding being sidelined #Lorraine."
