Wedding favours were little namesake seashells collected from Murlough Beach in Co Down. The couple had a beautiful memorial table for Jaeden and other family members who couldn’t make it to their special day. When we asked what was the most important aspect for their wedding day, Kirsty told us, ‘we didn’t follow a lot of traditions and kept it true to what we really wanted. At the end of all the fuss, there is just you as a couple and celebrating our love and showing a lifelong commitment to each other was what mattered the most to us.’

Their advice for couples planning a wedding is simple: ‘Do what makes you truly happy as a couple and try not to stress too much.’
