Saara Aalto wants Sharon Osbourne to attend her wedding.
The ‘X Factor’ runner-up and her girlfriend Meri Sopanen have been forced to push back their wedding while the Finnish beauty focuses on her music career but she’s already decided that she’d like her show mentor to watch them get hitched.
She explained: "Our date will hopefully be in 2018 and I’d like to get married somewhere warm. In Finland and the UK you can’t predict the weather. We want it to be sunny. Something small and intimate because my work is so public. That would be good for me, but my partner wants to have a big wedding."
Asked if she will invite Sharon, Saara said: "Yes, I hope she’d come! She texted me asking how my life is going since ‘X Factor’ and I texted her back a few days ago."
As well as planning her big day, the 29-year-old singer is also hoping to collaborate with Matt Terry – who beat her to the winner’s crown last year – some time this year.
She said: "Me and Matt Terry would love to record music together, maybe something on YouTube to our fans. And a Finnish TV company will be following my life for the next eight months for a documentary. It will be a nice memory to watch when I’m old."
But her career isn’t just limited to Finland as Saara is also planning to do some presenting – something she’s always dreamed of doing – in the UK.
She added to star magazine: "I want to have a go at presenting. As a child I was always filming my own TV shows with my sister, so it feels natural to me."
