Sinead and Paul

Sinéad Norman, 28 and Paul Duffy, 30 first met ten years ago when they worked in neighbouring shops in Navan. Sinéad caught Paul's eye instantly and he spent weeks finding any excuse to pop in to see her in her shop. It wasn't until a music festival later that year that the couple had their first kiss and the rest, as they say, is history. Ten years, one baby boy and a stint in Vancouver later, the couple are planning an ambitious festival-style DIY wedding on the grounds of Sinéad's family home. Complete with a marquee, a karaoke campervan that needs decoration, wildflowers that are less than cooperative in blooming and hundreds of personal and creative touches, this wedding reception doesn't simply guarantee a day to remember but also a hectic week that will be hard to forget! Since their engagement in Hawaii the couple knew that they wanted something slightly different that they could put their own stamp on their wedding reception. They settled on the idea of a marquee wedding and started collecting jam jars, LED lights, candles, lanterns, sparklers, plants, signage and decorations. Thrifty Paul has gone to every effort to find the best deals possible - he has scoured the net for the best deals and the pair hope that his online shopping skills will come good on the day. While other couples hand over responsibility to their hotel or venue these guys are unravelling 300 metres of fairy lights; where others indulge in tasting menus and bridal suites this couple are thinking how best to decorate their port-a-loos and attempting to re-route power outlets.but will all the hard work be worth it?
