McFly's Tom Fletcher astounded by wedding speech popularityMcFly's Tom Fletcher is astounded by the number of hits his wedding video has received on YouTube. The singer-and-guitarist married Giovanna Falcone earlier this year where he sang a 14 minute speech over a backing track of some of McFly's greatest hits. Fletcher - who tied the knot in May - released the video earlier this week, and is thrilled by how it has been received by fans. Taking to Twitter today he jokingly wrote: "My wedding speech just went over 6 million views. I think I make up about 10% of those by continuously checking how many views it's had (sic)." Fletcher also quipped about the popularity of the unique video on the social networking site. He added: "Hmmm, I'm not quite sure what to do for my next youtube vid...I've got a feeling it won't live up to my last one...... (sic)." Fletcher opened his now-famous wedding speech by admitting that he isn't keen on public speaking - so he decided to do it in song instead. He said: "I absolutely hate public speaking. Me and public speaking are just not compatible, we don't go together very well at all. Mainly because I have no idea how to write a good speech but I do know how to write a good song, so I hope this isn't cheating my way out of it too much." He sang over the likes of 'It's All About You' and even managed to recruit a choir of children for some extra special backing.
