The couple, who have been together for 17 years, decided just last November to get married.
Christine, who works at her father Don Woolsey’s filling station in Scotch Street, Portadown revealed: “We picked Easter Monday as we knew dad’s shop would be closed.
“We knew Kenzie loves Ed Sheeran and we asked him if he would like to sing at our wedding. He was up for it and put in a lot of practising.”

And when the Orchard County Primary School pupil sang Sheeran’s ‘Perfect’ - well - the 160 wedding guests just melted.
Christine, aged 37, said: “It was just so emotional. Everyone was reduced to tears.”
“It was just simply amazing,” she said, adding that the video has been viewed more than 30,000 times online.”

Hide AdAs a treat for singing, Kenzie’s mum and dad Simon (35) who works at AJ Power, got him tickets to see Ed Sheeran live in Dublin and would just love it if he saw their little boy singing one of his songs.
And so the family are off to Dublin to see Ed Sheeran but are hoping to get better seats than the standing room tickets they currently have.
The seven year old is no stranger to fame having been crowned NI Champion at Bambino Carting last year.
Pauline Woolsey-Laverty took the video at Monday’s wedding which was held at Bannville House Hotel, Banbridge.
