The Dress

My dress was an absolute fluke. My grandad had just passed and we went shopping with my Mum just myself and my sister to cheer her up. I tried on dresses chosen by everyone and was not feeling it as it was still a bit of a wait for the big day. Maria from Amore asked was there one I would like to try so I chose and it was the one! I knew straight away when it went on! We left and I couldn’t get it out of my head so went back the following week and bought it !

First Look

I did one with my Dad I hadn’t intended to but this is one of my favourite moments of that morning. His reaction shocked me and it is a memory I will have forever.

How did you both meet

We both lived quite near each other on our hometown but never really crossed paths. Then in July 2010 we both went to the same festival in Dublin (4 hours away) and on day 2 I fell through Daniel’s tent when I was a bit worse for wear and the rest is history lol. We haven’t really spent much time apart since.

How did he pop the question

It was during lockdown. When restrictions were beginning to lift we went to a spa for the night and he got down on one knee in the restaurant that night! He had told the manager and staff before hand so they were patiently waiting for the moment and on hand with treats and champagne it was gorgeous.

How did you feel walking down the aisle

Amazing! So many of our friends and family made such an effort to be with us! And Daniel had the biggest smile when I got to the top I would love to do it all again.
