My Wedding Day with Alan Hughes: 'We had two weddings, before and after the referendum'

We put on shows, that’s what we do, and we literally put on one big show for our wedding day
My Wedding Day with Alan Hughes: 'We had two weddings, before and after the referendum'

We got married, or had our civil partnership, on September 30, 2011. We had two weddings, really: The civil partnership in 2011, and then, after the referendum, when we were able to get married, we upgraded to the full marriage. But the big, actual ceremony was in 2011.

We had the ceremony in the Unitarian Church on Stephen’s Green, and our reception was in the Round Room at the Mansion House. It was a funny story there, because Karl and myself were going, ‘Where would we get married?’ And then, at the same time, we both said, ‘The Mansion House.’
