The bride’s a flight attendant and the groom’s a pilot, so Jenna Browne and Aodhán Lonergan are always asked if they met at an airport or on a plane.

Jenna, from Glanmire, Cork, and Aodhán, from Newry, Co Down, went on their first date, to Portmarnock Beach, in May 2020 and were married in St Mary’s Cathedral, Killarney, almost exactly six years later. “Everyone expects a crazy love story like something from a movie — when in fact the truth is quite the opposite,” says Jenna.
