It was love at first sight for Melissa Dunne and James O’Leary when their eyes met in a Dublin bar.

Melissa, from Dublin, and James, from Kilmichael, Co Cork, were married five and a half years later, in the outdoor ceremony of their dreams, in west Cork. “We first met in early 2016, in Sinnotts Bar, and it was love at first sight,” said James. “We went for a few drinks that evening and met up every night for the next week.”
