THE LOVE STORY
''Gregg and I met through my brother really, when we were about 18. He was playing at a little music festival in Enniskillen in Northern Ireland a few years later and I told him I liked his songs. He kissed me on the cheek and then a week later we went on a date. My sister, who I was living with at the time, was moving out of her house that day and so we have literally lived with each other since our first date which was nearly 10 years ago now. Coincidentally, our grandfathers played football together in the Post Office, so maybe it we were destined to be together? That’s also just an example of how small Northern Ireland is.
Gregg asked me to marry him in San Francisco in August of 2014. We’d been together 8 years but I still didn’t expect it. I kind of liked the idea of not getting married and just having a really old boyfriend but I was so happy when he proposed and planning the wedding was so much fun. We were so lucky in so many ways and the day was perfect''.
THE WEDDING PLANNING TIPS
''I think the main thing is to do exactly what you want. Our wedding had the capacity to be a very sad day. I am from an enormous family but sadly Gregg is an only child and both his parents passed away nearly 10 years ago now. It was really, really, really important to us to have all our friends at the wedding, which meant that we had to organise it in a way that meant everyone could come and everyone could eat and that is not always an easy thing to do.
We made certain decisions based on that as our priority, which meant not including certain things that people can often make you think you need to have a good wedding. And we asked for help from anyone and everyone who offered and it made the day so much more special, not just for us but for all those people. I think for everyone really. Gregg’s auntie likes to say it was a love-fest, which perhaps paints a different picture but it really was just a day of love ''
