Casino brides tie the knot on Friday 13th in Cork

For some, tying the knot is a gamble but this happy couple reckon their relationship is a safe bet.

So safe in fact, they chose Friday the 13th to say ‘I do’ in a casino, before rolling the dice and doubling their money.

Nora Dennehy and Katriona Hourihan, who shrugged off superstitions to become the first gay couple to say ‘I do’ in an Irish casino, said Friday the 13th was now the luckiest day of their lives.
