Today's real wedding is the perfect example of modern Hollywood glamour thanks to all the trimmings at Kelly and Paul's wedding. The Clare natives celebrated their 'I dos' in Ashley Park House in Tipperary in the epic boathouse suspended over Lough Ourna. Yep, it really was a picture-perfect setting, just like something from a movie. The romantic day was all wonderfully captured by Syona Photography.

Kelly and Paul knew from their very first date that spending a lifetime together was going to be on the cards. "Our first proper date was a trip back West to the Cliffs of Moher," Kelly told us. "Paul picked me up early and we headed off. Rather than dropping me home on the way back, we decided to go for dinner and to the cinema to make the day a bit longer which was a sign to us both from fairly early on!"

However, it was far from home that Paul chose to pop the big question. "We were on a trip to Prague for my birthday in December 2018," Kelly told us. "The day before my birthday, Paul had planned a walk up to the most beautiful look-out point overlooking the whole of Prague. When we got up, Paul had organised a table and chairs, champagne, candles, a cheese and chocolate feast, and blankets with a photo of us on the table. I was in total shock when I turned the corner and saw the setup. It was beyond anything I could have imagined!"

When it came to planning their wedding, the pair knew that they wanted to have the exclusive use of a venue so they could create the ultimate party atmosphere. "We wanted somewhere where all our guests could stay on-site with us for the weekend," they explained. "The most important things to us were the venue, the ceremony, the food, and music. Our vision was always to have a weekend in a country house where everyone could relax and have the craic."

Well, choosing that venue was an easy job for the couple who fell in love with Ashley Park House immediately. "Every single thing about Ashley Park made it the ideal wedding venue," the couple gushed. "It was only the second place we looked at, and we had it booked before we got in the car to go home. The long winding drive up to the house, the grounds of the house which you have to see to believe, the lake, the boathouse, the pavilion, the house itself! It was really cool that although we had one venue for both the ceremony and reception, it actually felt like three – the boathouse, the main house and the pavilion are all so different but equally gorgeous. We had the ceremony in the boathouse, the drinks reception in the main house and the reception and dancing in the pavilion. The place is a treasure!"

It was important to Kelly and Paul that their ceremony be bursting with personality - and that it was. "We really wanted the day to be 'us'," Kelly explained. "From the ceremony to the readings and music throughout, I really feel like it was 'our day'. We had a more casual dinner on Sunday with our guests in the pavilion before a night of traditional Irish music by Paul's brother-in-law Ciaran and his band. The sing-song went on well into Monday morning - we just wanted to move in and stay forever!"

And Kelly and Paul's was full of special details that truly made their wedding a day to remember. "The wedding day was also my birthday, and my wonderful bridesmaids had arranged a birthday cake to be brought out with our guests singing 'Happy Birthday' during our reception," Kelly said. "We had a sparkler session outside by the fire-pit on the way out to dinner which was such fun considering the wind was so strong we were lucky to have not been blown into the lake! We also had a hurley arch send off as we made our way from the boathouse to the main house duly organised by Paul's best man."

As for advice, Kelly and Paul are all about making memories that will last forever. "Get a videographer," they recommend. "Photos from the day are amazing to have, but having video footage of important people is priceless. Also, you'll have spent so much time and money in the lead up to the day, when the last few months, and the day itself finally gets here, just let go and enjoy it! We really did not stop smiling and laughing for the whole weekend!"

Thanks so much to today's couple Kelly and Paul for sharing their unbelievably glamorous wedding day with us and to Syona Photography for capturing it all.
