Our Wedding

Our story started long before we even knew it—our mums were best friends as teenagers, so we’ve technically known each other since birth. But it wasn’t until school that we properly crossed paths, when Cian was the year ahead of Sophie. We became friends in our early teens, though Sophie secretly had a crush on Cian from the age of 10 (he, of course, had absolutely no idea!). Finally, in 2014, Cian worked up the courage to ask Sophie to his Debs—and at just 16, we went from best friends to something more. Safe to say, he eventually came to his senses! Life has taken us on some amazing adventures together, from growing up side by side in Dublin to spending two years living in the Cayman Islands. When we returned home, Cian planned the most perfect proposal: a trip to Galway over the October bank holiday. By the sea at the Spanish Arch, he got down on one knee—and the rest is history. Now, after all these years of laughter, growing, and loving together, we can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter with all of you.
