Sorcha and John met when the bride was doing doing drinks promotions at a rock and metal bar in Dublin. "I noticed this 6 ft 7 gothic man with long black hair", she said. "He was hard to miss! He approached me and then drank a bunch of the test tube shots that I had, which had lots of caffeine in them. I found out afterwards that he’s allergic to caffeine and was violently ill afterwards! A few months later, our paths crossed again in the same bar. We got a chance to talk properly and realised we had everything in common. He asked me out to dinner and our gothic romance took flight."Read more...

Full-blown themed weddings are definitely getting rarer. Most of the couples I speak to say their weddings were just styled around "random stuff we liked", which is cool, but there's something a little bit extra special about weddings where everything fits perfectly together.Read more...

There was a bit of a problem when I received Neysa and Kevin's wedding submission. I was convinced they couldn't be real people. I mean, have you ever seen a couple so attractive in your entire life? Add that to the fact that they probably had one of the coolest weddings I've ever seen and I was 100% convinced that this must be some kind of staged shoot.Read more...
