One of those was Bernie Nolan , who tragically lost her cancer battle 11 years ago when she was aged just 52. Last week, when Denise, 72, tied the knot with her long-term partner Tom, 77, her late sister was remembered in a very special moment when they played a special recording of Bernie singing Stevie Wonder’s Isn’t She Lovely? “Obviously, not a day goes by where we don’t think of her,” Denise told OK! in an exclusive chat after the wedding .
"But you can’t bring it up too much because it becomes very sad." "She was such a presence in our lives. She was a real extrovert and such fun.
So any party we have, we know she should be there. And my Auntie would have loved it, and she loved Tom. Actually, everybody loves Tom, he’s just the sort of person that everyone loves.
” The couple have been together for almost 50 years but only officialy married on Monday, 17 June in their hometown, with guests including sisters Anne, Linda, Maureen and Coleen Nolan . They chose to incorporate a moving moment from Bernie's own wedding into their ceremony at Blackpool's .
