My Wedding Day with Louis Copeland: 'It was black-tie, we got all the suits from my shop'
"My wife looked lovely in her wedding dress, but back then, there wasn’t as much emphasis on the bride’s dress as there is now. So it would have been simple but elegant. She had two bridesmaids — her sister Pauline and my sister Jackie."
We got married on August 1, 1975, so 50 years ago this year. My wife, Mary, is from Waterford so we had our wedding in a small village outside Tramore called Corbally.
The ceremony was held in Our Lady’s Church in Corbally and afterwards the reception was in Corballymore House, which was a hotel and wedding venue at the time.
