Our bridesmaids/groomsmen… Our bridesmaids were Bronwen Ditton (maid of honour), Scarlett Ritchie and Orly Lavee. Our groomsmen were Patrick Drury-Byrne (best man), Fergal Rigby and Fergal McCourt.

My dress… Was beautiful, simple and classic. I fell in love with it from the moment I saw it.

Our favourite wedding picture… The photo that Cameron Boardman took of the two of us embracing outside Adare Manor. (Main image)

Our first dance song… Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard.

Our favourite part of the wedding… There were so many parts that we loved but in particular the celebration with all our favourite people from all over the world that went on – and on – and on…

My advice for other brides… Remember that it is a party with everyone you love most – and try not to stress over the small stuff.
