A Shameless Request for Assistance

Hi fellow Pearl Jam fans,
I must confess that this is probably the most shameless thing I have ever done but here goes! i will keep this as short as possible and please know that I apologise hugely in advance for this....I am not a proud man (anymore it would seem).
in August 2001 I met the love of my life at the Leeds music festival in England and despite us living in different parts of the UK we persevered in our relationship, fell madly in love and have been a couple ever since.
At a very early stage in our relationship she realised (not that i hid it) that I was a massive Pearl Jam fan and during our years together she has made every effort (and i mean every effort) to support me in my blind love of everything PJ.
She has, given up the hope of a normal vacation so that i can time our holidays with Pearl Jam tours, she has stood outside of venues to get Pearl Jam autographs for my PJ20 hardback book over a period of days (whilst i was at work), she lets me play Pearl Jam pretty much non-stop in the Car, she never tells me to stop singing when i am doing my awful Pearl Jam rendition in the house, she has saved up money secretly to go to a PJ gig when we did not have the money to go. Outside of one gig she even found out when PJ were coming in to the venue to do a practice and managed to time telling me perfectly so that i could take my lunch break and have my photo taken with Mike McCready and meet Stone Gossard!!
Now it is my turn to try and repay her if at all possible.....I proposed to her last year (not new years eve or christmas!) and we are getting married this september. her favorite singer is Gary Barlow (from take that, a UK pop band). he has told people on twitter that he is going to sing at 3 peoples wedding this year and and is going to choose who the lucky three.
I appreciate that this is completely shameless and i clearly lack any pride whatsoever in doing this but i am desperate to try and make this happen. she would be immensely happy and i owe her so much for all of the wonderful (pearl jam related and non pearl jam related) stuff that she has done for my in our time together.
I am therefore begging humbly for the assistance of my fellow awesome PJ fans i really need you guys in my hour of need!
please tweet @garybarlow and ask him to sing at our wedding with the following hashtag #joandkeithcanuckwedding2015
i know this is an incredibly slim shot but she is more than worth it!
I apologise if this breaks the house rules and the post needs to be deleted but it was worth a try (some times you've got to break the law to make things happen)
by way of an apology to the forum and you guys i have donated $100 to the vitalogy foundation i can send proof if receipt if anyone requires it
thanks a million for reading and have a great 2015

sorry for the delay in responding and providing an update my future wife had to go into hospital so things were a little hectic. Despite the amazing effort of you guys, my friends and family I don't believe we've been selected :(. I really do appreciate all of the effort and if any of you guys ever need any assistance or support with one of your causes you have a guaranteed helper right here. thanks again!
