Now enjoying settling into their newly renovated country home in Meath, Aoife McCarthy and Ciarán Jones met six years ago when Ciarán moved to Cork.

Aoife, from Ovens, Co Cork, says: “My bridesmaid, Rebecca, introduced us in the summer of 2020 — despite my living in Canada at the time! We arranged to meet for a drink in between lockdowns, and the rest, as they say, is history.”
