Gillian and Wesley were married in August this year in an emotional ceremony decorated to perfection. A Chuppah functioned as the altar, while the aisles were lined with an avenue of bay trees. The beautiful ceremony was followed by an evening of entertainment on the picturesque grounds of Tulfarris Hotel & Resort - including an ice cream trike for the kids (okay, the adults too), a barbershop quartet and a band that kept guests dancing until their feet hurt. Their quirky, romantic day was captured by the talented and charismatic Wanderley Massafelli, of Massafelli Photography.

Fourteen months after one seriously well prepared and ultra-romantic proposal (it involved a helicopter, that's all we're saying) Bernice and Fergal's big day was in full swing. The couple planned a wedding celebration their guests could really enjoy - where a fun and friendly atmosphere would ensure plenty of laughter and the fondest of memories for all. Bernice shone in the most perfect Paloma Blanca wedding gown, while the girls added some Irish charm in clover green Dessy bridesmaids dresses. Their day was captured by the wonderfully talented Julie Cummins.
A life-altering romance blossomed when Australian lass Lisa met Irish-born Derek on a 2008 trip to the US, but as with the most famous of love stories, the course of true love was not to run smoothly... A holiday 'fling' (her words!) turned to several extended stays half way around the world when bureaucracy got the better of the two and they had to say a heart-wrenching 'goodbye' to each other. Luckily love was a force that could snap even the thickest of red tapes, and the couple found a way to remain together forever, and gave us a gorgeous real wedding to share with you all!
