British bride gives birth on wedding day, still makes it to evening reception

Some say the best day of their life was the day they married their one true love. Others declare the best day of their life was the day their child was born.

Danielle and Aaron Clewlow managed to combine those two joyous events in one single day. Oh, and by the way, they also returned to their evening wedding reception, with their freshly baked bun in tow.

"'I had such a big bump that friends and family joked I could give birth on my wedding day," 19-year-old Danielle tells the Daily Mail.

"But even when just before the evening party began I nipped to the hospital, I don't think anyone thought I would actually give birth on my wedding day."

Although the baby's due date hadn't quite arrived, 19-year-old Danielle began experiencing contractions on the morning of her wedding day.

"At times it was difficult to sit still while my hair was being done," she tells the Daily Mail.

Danielle proceeded with the wedding, trying to smile between contractions. But by 5:30 p.m. the pain was too much. The couple headed to the hospital just as their reception was getting started. All went well, and they managed to make it back to their party for 10 p.m. to show off their new son, Paddy, weighing a healthy 7Ib 7oz.

Probably not the best planning on the part of this couple, but it's thoroughly impressive that they managed to simultaneously pull off the two biggest moments of their lives in one day…all without missing a beat. Or the cake.
