"Everyone says it’s the best day of your life but it was probably better than that. We were ordinary people in an extraordinary place and you could see everyone take a breath as they looked around at the grand surroundings. It was slightly overwhelming."
The sports pundit and Paralympian said.
The 28-year-old Linda is a singer who performs under the stage name Elle Exxe, in the quire of St Paul’s.
Adepitan earned MBE for services to disability sport in 2005 which gave him the right to marry at St Paul's Cathedral. He is also the member of Great Britain’s wheelchair basketball team that won the bronze medal in the 2004 Athens Paralympic Games.
The TV presenter saw her at the National Television Awards when she was 19. He shared his thought about seeing Linda for the first time and said:
"I knew that this was the woman I wanted to marry but I was a little bit overwhelmed. She was so beautiful and so cool – why would she want to marry me?"
"I was pushing around looking at everyone and I saw this massive smile beaming out. She had an aura, something about her, so I made a beeline. I fell in love straight away."
Ade Adepitan added.
