I wouldn't count on it working for domestic upgrades due to the rigid upgrade procedure and competition for upgrades, but int'l upgrades seem a little more relaxed. Worst case you sit in EC which isn't a bad ride for the relatively short flights to LHR, especially if you have your SO next to you!

Congratulations on your wedding BTW!
