Sorry kids, the dreaming's over. Gary Barlow has performed at the wedding of a third and final fan, as part of his mission to sing at the nuptials of three of his most dedicated followers.
The Take That frontman gatecrashed the wedding of Anita Morrissey-Booth and her groom Alex Morrissey in Liverpool. The bride had booked a Barlow lookalike for the reception, but was immeasurably delighted when the man himself appeared.
This is truly what female hysteria looks like - Anita falls to the floor clutching her face with her hands, there's a moment where no one is sure whether she is weeping or laughing; then Gary walks over and she throws her arms round his neck and grips him like a enthusiastic limpet.
Gary starts singing A Million Love Songs; she slumps on her husband's chest, making strange sobbing noises, while he looks down on her, half mystified, half-concerned, probably wondering who is this demented woman that's been unleashed before his eyes. Gary sings on, looking at her with those kind, kind eyes, then she grabs his face with her hands. It's amazing. Watch it now:
Reason 10,421 why we love Gary Barlow - the kind-eyed singer ensured that one bride's wedding was truly the best day of her life by giving a surprise performance at the reception in Bracknell.
The Take That frontman interrupted the couple's first dance to serenade her with A Million Love Songs. Upon seeing Barlow, Danielle Jones breaks free from her new husband Daryll (who seems very understanding given that he had just been so dramatically upstaged), screams at deafening pitch and does an impassioned air punch.

"He was stood immediately in front of me - I was nearly not breathing for quite a long time," she said. "I'm still on cloud nine, I can't believe it happened."
The singer had worked with the maid of honour to pull off the stunt. Jones had invited Barlow to the wedding on Twitter, but had received a reply saying he was out of the country that day.
In January, Barlow said on Twitter that he would sing at three weddings this year - they just had to prove that they were "huge" fans.
