My Wedding Day with Sinead Sheppard: 'Being from Cobh, I had to get married in the cathedral'

I have a background in the arts, so music played a big part in our day. We had the Carrigtwohill Gospel Choir singing in the cathedral, and it was beautiful

We got married on September 7, 2012, in Cobh Cathedral. Being from Cobh, I was never going to get married anywhere else! We had the afters in Barnabrow House in East Cork.

We were adamant that we wanted somewhere that you could take over for the weekend; we wanted just a house, that it’s just you and your guests. We had about 125 people at the wedding.
