We got married on November 6, 2025. We had the ceremony in Opium, which is attached to Whelan’s on Wexford Street in Dublin. We had our drinks reception in a pub attached to Opium, called The Crafty Fox — and, actually, anyone who arrived early had popped in there for a drink before the
wedding, too. We had the afters in House on Leeson Street.

Our friend David did the ceremony. He has done weddings before, but he’s not a celebrant, or anything.
