Rod appeared to be enjoying the relaxing outing with his loved ones, after he delighted a British couple with a surprise appearance at their Las Vegas wedding. 

Sharon Cook and Andrew Aitchison from Liverpool, England, exclusively told MailOnline that they were due to marry at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Wednesday, but were left in turmoil after the airline they had booked the flights with, Thomas Cook, went bust. 

Yet after Caesars learned of the drama, they arranged for the wedding party to be flown Stateside before surprising them by having the legendary rocker, 74, serenade them down the aisle.

Speaking to MailOnline on his wedding day, groom Andrew revealed: ‘It was the dream wedding day!’ 

Taking to Twitter, he added: ‘So @rodstewart just turned up at our wedding and sang to my wife! I can’t believe what has happened in the last week and this has just topped it off. 

‘Thank you Rod you’ve absolutely made our dream wedding you absolute legend. We Can’t wait to see you Friday #LikeACaesar #SirRod’.  

The couple had planned to travel to the States with global travel group Thomas Cook, having spent £9,000 on flights, but when the company went bankrupt, their plans were thrown into chaos. 

Faced with the prospect of having their nuptials cancelled, the pair contacted  Caesars Palace for help, who were able to sort an arrangement with American airline, Delta.

Delta then agreed to fly the husband and wife to be, as well as 14 of their friends and family, out of of London Heathrow airport Sunday, just three days before they were to say ‘I do.’ 

After they touched down in Vegas, the couple were chauffeured in a limousine from the airport to the hotel, and upgraded to penthouse suites. At the wedding venue, the couple were surprised once more as they were treated to a performance by Sir Rod – which had been arranged secretly by the hotel.  

The Grammy-award winning artist belted out his romantic single, Have I Told You Lately, even inviting bride Sharon to duet with him under the arbor.  

Sir Rod is currently performing his residency at the hotel, so was more than happy to make an appearance at the chapel.

The Maggie May hitmaker also surprised the newlyweds and their guests with two tickets to his performance later in the week – which the wedding group eagerly accepted.  

His Vegas residency – Rod Stewart: The Hits – originally premiered at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in 2011. 

After finishing his most recent tour in the United Kingdom back in May, the singer returned to Caesars Palace for eight more concerts from September 18 to October 5.  

The surprise performance turned around what had been an incredibly stressful week for the pair. 

 

Speaking to Delta, the newlyweds explained: ‘On Monday, we lost everything for our dream wedding in Vegas. Then Wednesday morning Delta called to say they would help us. They brought our dream back. It’s just been incredible’.

Last week, the couple appeared on BBC Breakfast, with Sharon nearly in tears as she discussed the prospect of cancelling their big day. 

The pair explained that they had spent roughly £9000 on flights with Thomas Cook, that weren’t ATOL protected, and had booked everything else separately for their wedding. 

However, with their flights no longer on, and the pair unable to pay to fly the 11 hours to Vegas, they faced losing everything as they wouldn’t be able to make it Stateside. 

Sharon explained: ‘We’re not wealthy people, we can’t afford to pay for it all again. It’s so sad to not have our bridesmaid, best man…’

The couple’s turmoil was brought about when Thomas Cook went bust on September 23.

The holiday company stranded more than 160,000 Brits abroad when it went under, losing its licence and insurance to fly in the process.  A £100million taxpayer-funded fleet of 40 or more planes was organized to rescue travels stuck in more than 50 destinations.

Britain’s biggest peacetime repatriation effort, code-named Operation Matterhorn, saw around 16,000 people flown back to UK airports every day.
