Couple in civil ceremony trial run at country’s first gay wedding fair

A hotel in Limerick was the only place to be in Ireland yesterday for same-sex couples looking for information on how to plan their nuptials.

The Absolute hosted the country’s first ever gay wedding/civil partnership Fair.

David Nally, 28 from Athlone, and Neil Ash, 27, from Athy, Co Kildare, are to say “I do” at a civil ceremony in Co Laois in Jan 2014.
