Mum-to-be Emma Lowdon, 36, tied the knot with partner Sean Allum, 35, in a register office ceremony on Friday – while having minor contractions and knowing her baby could arrive at any minute.
After getting through the service and a brief reception with family and friends, the newly-married couple were whisked straight to nearby Wansbeck General Hospital in Ashington, Northumberland – where 5lb baby Josh was delivered less than 24 hours later.
Josh’s arrival – five weeks prematurely – was the joyful culmination of a stressful few days for Emma and Sean, which at one point threatened to force the cancellation of their wedding.
The couple, who live in Dudley, near Cramlington and have been together for five years, fixed their wedding date for last Friday at Morpeth Registry Office, after Emma fell pregnant earlier this year. Everything was going to plan until her waters broke just three days before they were due to tie the knot, and she was admitted to hospital, throwing their plans into chaos.
Emma and Sean were determined they would be a married couple before the baby arrived and, after being given the green light by senior medical staff at Wansbeck General, decided to go ahead with Friday’s ceremony.
