So first of all, we had to ask this lovely couple how they met! They tell us it was one rainy Friday on a night out in January 2013 and the rest, is history!

The couple's invitations and fab on-the-day stationary was designed by friends of the couple, Aoife & Sheena.

Their ceremony took place in the front garden of Ballintubbert House, a stunning spot which features manicured lawns and a mirror-like pond. The perfect natural ceremony backdrop!

The guys had their beautiful Mum's walk them down the aisle - how sweet!

The beautiful hats worn by both mothers on the day were bespoke pieces made by Eoin's sister in law Orla. They're just stunning!

The couple tell us that when it came to the engagement, there wasn't exactly a proposal but a mutual agreement of "the need to put rings on it." We love that!

The drinks reception and speeches took place in The Tabernacle, a cosy spot hidden in the orchard at Ballintubbert House.

The couple said that the venue was just perfect for the relaxed vibe they wanted. "Ballintubbert Gardens and house really lent itself to the relaxed and informal vibe we were hoping for. We loved the idea of using the entirety of grounds: ceremony at the mirrored lake, reception and speeches in the Tabernacle, dinner and dancing in the Victorian marquee and an after party in the main house. The house itself was very special and we loved the amazing grounds."

We can totally see why the couple chose a Ballintubbert House wedding. That marquee is out of this world!

As wedding favours, guests were gifted individual bottles of gin, the couple's favourite tipple, painstakingly hand poured for each guest!

The beautiful wedding cake was made by Linda and Bernie, the mothers of the two grooms and we just adore the result! Both families travelled down the evening before to help decorate and Eoin and Darran tells us "we spent the night before the wedding together eating, drinking & singing. This really added to the entire experience for us and was a very special day."

The couple also chose to have a wedding cheese cake from Sheridan's Cheesemongers as well as their wedding cake because the pair are cheese obsessed!

The family speeches at the wedding reception was one of the highlights for the couple who said they were "really hilarious" and we can see that's true! The newly-weds went on their honeymoon to Spain straight after the wedding but are planning a bigger trip to the Middle East once restrictions ease.

Eoin and Darran's advice for engaged couples is simple; "Don’t focus on other weddings you have been too, create your own day which reflects you as individuals and as a couple. Enjoy the process as much as possible and don’t overthink it. Finally, trust your venue and their staff, the photographer, musicians and allow them to advise and put their stamp on the day too."
