A newlywed couple ditched their own wedding reception to attend a Harry Styles concert for their first dance.

Devon Ruth Collins, 29, and Mitchell Fellows, 21, married earlier this month – but were gutted to discover that Harry was due to perform at Wembley the same day they had scheduled to tie the knot.

But the diehard fans from Gornal, West Midlands soon hatched a plan.

They decided to put a special twist on their big day that would ensure they could get the best of both worlds.

Catching a train right after they got hitched, the pair raced over to Wembley Stadium – with Devon Ruth still in full wedding dress – where they ended the night dancing along in the stands.

They enjoyed a first dance in the stadium’s Bobby Moore suite amongst the throng of Harry’s superfans as Westlife’s Queen of my Heart played, followed by the former One Direction star’s Love of my Life.

The song selection paid an adorable homage to the newlyweds’ history – as Mitchell proposed to Devon Ruth at a Westlife concert.

The happy couple later danced in the crowd as Devon Ruth cheekily held up a sign which read: ‘Just married, but will you be my daddy?’

The newly-married Harry fan admitted she was ‘fuming’ that the performer’s Wembley date was on her wedding when dates were first released.

‘We booked our actual wedding and reception ages ago,’ she explained.

‘So, we decided to book hospitality tickets and leave everyone else at our wedding reception and dashed off to get a train in my wedding dress, got the tube in my dress and went to the concert in my dress.’

The bride revealed that while some of the guests knew they were going to London, they ‘didn’t really know the details’.

‘My friends were super excited for us,’ she added. ‘And my twin brother (who was also maid of honour) really encouraged it.’
