OUR BIG DAY Victoria & Niamh

So tell us how you met, were you single for a long time before you started dating?

We met outside the Kremlin (how original lol) I was out for a friends birthday and Niamh came with another friend of ours and the rest is History!

How long after you started dating did it take to pop the question, was it an immediate yes?

We were together about 3 years before I asked the question lol and she said yes straight away lol I (Victoria asked Niamh) lol

Tell us about your big day, location, amount of guests etc. Was it planned pre Covid, had you to alter many things?

We had been engaged 5 years and had a few weddings planned lol Covid halted everything and we then planned to get married abroad but I (Victoria) wanted to get married at home! Lol we got married in Basil Sheils in Armagh such a quirky place right up our street. Was around 170 guests honestly the day couldn’t have went any better apart from the rain lol we had the best photographer out there Melissa & Stacey at Gorgeous Photography were amazing such lovely women! Video me Productions done our Videographer again couldn’t ask for better! Be here all day listing all the vendors but everyone was fantastic.

What about the food and drink?

We had a 5 course meal cesar salad, veg soup, either turkey and ham or roast beef (guests decided on the day) trio of desserts and tea and coffee we done round of drinks at each table rather than wine which worked for us as people could get what they wanted. Food was outstanding Basil Sheils do a great feed.

Were there any hiccups or did all go to plan? Everything went pretty well no major hiccups any wee issues we had we got sorted straight away so didn’t cause any issues.

Have you or are you going on honeymoon?

We went to Turkey and going to Gran Canaria at the end of the month aswell so kinda have got to honeymoons out of it lol

In your day to day lives are you into the same things? What interests do you have that are different?

Yeah we do have a lot of the same interests sport being the main on and we are very competitive as a couple which works but sometimes not so much - we aren’t really into the same kinda of music or the shows which can make picking shows to watch together a serious struggle lol.

Do you do everything together or do you like to keep independent?

We do tend to do lot together but we also have our own independence aswell

Have you a family, is this something on the plan for you?

Yes we have a 16month old son our iarlaith (I put his name in lower case as always looks like a l but it’s an i) lol he really is our whole world family is very important to both of us and starting our own was the best decision either of us ever made! We would like to have at least another one hopefully someday that happens.
