The couple even sent an invite to Betfred boss Fred Done, after saying the big win has totally changed their lives. Michael and Sherelle, who worked as carers before their win, tied the knot six months after becoming multi-millionaires - having been engaged for seven years. And the couple, who have three children together, spared no expense for their glitzy ceremony. The Newcastle man told ChronicleLive : 'I chose the venue for the wedding, while Sherelle chose everything else. "She always wanted a big wedding and she certainly had that." Michael added: 'It's brilliant that Fred, who is such a down-to-earth fella, has made all this possible. "I was chuffed to bits when he turned up to celebrate our big day. Without him, this wouldn't have been possible." The pair also replaced Sherelle's engagement ring - with one costing £7,000 as opposed to the £1,000 one bought in 2016. Michael also splashed out on diamond earrings, a necklace and a bracelet for his now-wife's 28th birthday. He added: 'It's been absolute chaos since I became not just a millionaire, but a multi-millionaire. "There's no denying it – it's been absolutely manic." Sherelle said: "We have been together for 11 years and engaged for seven. "We would probably have got married when we could have afforded it at a registry office. "Now we can afford all this, not just for us, but for all family and friends who are so important to us.){kind=link}
