This is the moment “police” turned up at a wedding looking for the father of the bride, baffling guests — only to to reveal themselves as singers minutes later. Robyn Ellis-Robson says she wanted something different at her reception so decided to prank her friends and family — with undercover crooners.
The 31-year-old set the stunt up months in advance, telling only her husband Arron and her dad Steven — thus catching everyone else unawares. Footage from the big day at the Croft Hotel in Darlington, Co. Durham, shows bride kicking off yelling “not on my wedding day” as the “officers” come looking for her dad. The room then erupts into cheers as one of the officers grabs the mic and asks if they are ready to party, before bursting into a rendition of “All You Need is Love.”Footage from the big day at the Croft Hotel in Durham shows Ellis-Robson yelling “not on my wedding day,” as the ‘officers’ come looking for her dad as part of the prank.The crowd all join in dancing, singing, and clapping while they wave their napkins in the air to the medley of love songs performed by fake policemen Steven James and Gary Hodgson. Robyn, from Sunderland, said: “I had seen singing waiters at a lot of people’s weddings, but I wanted something a little bit different. “My dad was the perfect person to have the police come in and arrest. My dad was in on it and Arron, but all the other guests didn’t have a clue.“My cousin really thought it was real because he came up shouting his head off at the police. He was swearing and everything. A couple other guests were telling the police to get out. “They all said it was out of order for them to turn up on my wedding day. Some of them were going mental. The more they were shouting the more other people believed it.”The couple met at the airport six years ago on their way to Benidorm with mutual friends, and Robyn says that they moved in together immediately after getting home. Arron, who works at DPD, proposed at the end of 2022 at home before a limousine came to pick them up to go out for celebratory drinks. This event was actually their second wedding, as the pair had jetted off to Las Vegas shortly before for another service.At their UK big day, Robyn also had a ten-foot tall wedding cake, magazines about their lives, a choreographed first dance, and three dress changes. For the singing surprise, they had originally booked a company of singing policemen, but Robyn says that they cancelled three days before, almost ruining the stunt. However, a local singing waiter company No1 Singing Waiters stepped in to save the day, finding some police costumes to use.Her dad had been told about the wedding prank three months before, but Robyn says she thinks he might have forgotten by the time it actually happened, so he was also quite shocked initially. Robyn, who owns a dog hotel, added: “When they came in and started singing and dancing realizing it was a joke it just set the atmosphere right off. “Everyone was up dancing, having a great time. They all loved it, they were saying it was the best surprise. They couldn’t get their heads around it. “I think it was absolutely great and it is something completely different. I think people are starting to click about the singing waiters so I think the singing policemen is quite a new thing.
