Every bride wants their big day to be memorable, but Amanda Vasey had a wedding that no one will every forget.
 
The bride had asked her best friend Amanda Hutchinson to be her bridesmaid, but Amanda refused once she found out she was pregnant, not wanting to spoil the day.
 
“Amanda is one of my best friends and I desperately wanted her to be part of my wedding,” The bride explained. “But when she found out she was pregnant she refused to be a bridesmaid.”

“She had already tried on the bridesmaid’s dress and everything but thought she would ruin the photos if she was too far on. I told her not to be silly but she insisted.”
 
The bride was just putting on the finishing touches to her dress when the Best Man, Amanda's husband Gareth, burst in the room with startling news.
 
“I had just finished getting dressed when Gareth, my husband’s best man, ran into the room and told me that Amanda had gone into labour,” Mrs Vasey said.

“At first I didn’t believe him because he had been so nervous about his speech that he had joked about spilling water on the floor and saying his wife’s waters had broken to get out of doing it.”
 
“But then I saw that he was serious and my mum and bridesmaids ran down to help.”
 
The wedding party ran out to help Amanda, covering the car with sheets from the hotel to give her privacy until she could get into an ambulance.
 
It was a close call, as she gave birth to a healthy baby girl just seven minutes after arriving at the hospital.
 
“They had to get huge sheets from the hotel to cover up the car because there was such a commotion and everyone was staring at her,” said the bride.
 
'But luckily there were no complications and the baby was brought into the world safely.'
 
'It’s funny actually because she totally shied away from the wedding because she was pregnant, she didn’t want to be in the pictures and she didn’t come to the hen do, but in the end it all ended up being about her!” Mrs Vasey laughed.
 
The couple got married – minus the best man – and went to the hospital to visit their friends and the new baby.
 
While some brides don't want anything stealing attention away from them, Mrs Vasey thinks it was the perfect day.
 
“[Amanda] kept saying sorry she had ruined the day and all that but she hadn’t ruined it, it’s a special blessing that the baby was born on the day Steven and I got married, now we’ll always remember her birthday too.”
 
“When we went to see her in the hospital we both cried, it was a really emotional day for me because I was marrying the love of my life, but also our best friends were welcoming a little baby into the world.”
