A CREWE bride-to-be’s wedding dream came true when her fiancée handed her the keys to an Italian sports car just days before the couple headed to Italy for their wedding.

When Hayley Corbett set her eyes on the new Alfa Romeo MiTo her big-hearted fiancée Phil Kavanagh was quick to snap up the car for her as a surprise wedding gift.

After weeks of secret preparation Hayley was given the ‘Giulietta’ red car complete with bow, rose petals, bouquet of flowers, bottle of champagne and the keys.

Hayley, from Minshull Vernon, received the gift before jetting out to Italy to get married at Lake Garda.

She said: “As soon as I set eyes on the car I knew I wanted it, but unfortunately I didn’t think I could have it, so this is such a huge and overwhelming surprise."

Phil, owner of The Leather Suite Warehouse, near Crewe, said: “This has been a hush-hush operation, even to the point where we told Hayley that the car had been sold and we couldn’t get another in the same colour.

"It has definitely been worth it to see the look on her face."
