The 72-year-old received an incurable diagnosis of prostate cancer this year, after delaying visiting the GP due to the pandemic.
Speaking about her dad, Kym told OK!: “Dad received a standing ovation before he even started, because of the courage and strength it took him to do the job he did that day. There was so much respect for him in the room.
“There were tears when he walked me down the aisle and when I gave him a kiss when he sat down – there were lots of tears surrounding my dad that day.”
Scott also praised Dave’s “hilarious and emotional” speech.
Meanwhile, Kym incorporated her late son Archie into the day.
The former Corrie star and ex-husband Jamie Lomas lost their son in 2009, when he was born 18 weeks premature.
I really wanted to wear it as it represents Archie

“David, Emilie and Polly bought it for me as a Mother’s Day present to symbolise Archie,” she explained, adding: “I never take it off and I really wanted to wear it as it represents Archie.”
The Hear’Say singer also decorated the venue with yellow roses – another symbol for son Archie.

These included her Coronation Street co-stars Alison King, Antony Cotton and Jane Danson.
