Same sex marriage has been legal now in Ireland for over two years (whoop!), since then we've been featuring lots of beautiful, cool, romantic and fun gay weddings here on One Fab Sunlight (and we'd love to feature more, so photographers, send them our way!).
But today we're talking about the bit that comes before all the venue searching, the dress or suit shopping, and the table planning the proposal.
