A Scottish groom left the room of wedding guests in tears with a speech about his dad still using his dead mum's Facebook account.

Graeme Stevely - yes, Grado the professional wrestler - had them all in fits of laughter as he 'passed on a message' from his mum.

The actor, who stars in BBC comedy Two Doors Down as well as River City, married his long-term girlfriend Stephanie Green last week on 9 June.

The 35-year-old began his speech with a sweet nod to his late mum saying she'd be 'looking down on me proud as punch' during his wedding day.

Stevely's mum passed away at the age of 61 in 2017 after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

And the wrestler-turned-actor used this moment on his big day to plead with his dad to stop using her old Facebook account - revealing his typical-dad behaviour.

"I also know that my mum wants to pass on to my dad to stop using her Facebook account," he said as it becomes clear the guests know exactly what the Scot's on about.

Turns out Stevely's dad has been using his dead wife's Facebook to do everything from commenting on footy news to getting himself a decent deal on mobility items.

With a pendant of his late mum pinned to his jacket, he went on to mention the recent relegation of Dundee United from the Scottish Premiership.

"Just a fortnight ago, BBC News posted the official news that Dundee United had been relegated," he says.

"Maureen Stevely commented 'Ya beauty', Maureen Stevely also in 2021, three years after she passed away by the way, was haggling with a woman from Troon for a disability scooter."

By this point, the wedding guests are already in stitches of laughter, but there's more.

"Maureen Stevely wrote to the woman saying 'Scooter too dear, I stay in Stevenston tap end, one of the most deprived areas in Scotland and my son Grado. The woman replied 'Well get Grado to give you a tap.'

"Maureen Stevely replied 'Graeme not going to panto this year, he's skint'." What a wedding speech.

The boss video of Stevely's speech was shared by wedding videographer Aaron Robertson, who wrote: "Grado and one of the best groom stories I've heard, what an incredible wedding to capture."

On TikTok, it's already got over 500,000 views in just a few days, with fans commenting with crying-laughing faces.

One commented to say: "His mum would be so proud of him."

Another put: "Grado is so funny."

Stevely is well-known as an actor and as his alias Grado with work in Insane Championship Wrestling where his entrance to Madonna's 'Like a Prayer' solidified his status as a fan-favourite.
