«We are a pandemic love story meeting in 2021. As everything was closed, we started off with walking and coffee dates which eventually turned into dinner in each other’s houses and really got to know each other without any distractions from the outside world. 4 months later, in August 2021 we went to Italy for two weeks visiting Puglia, Venice and Tuscany and it was incredible and we fell in love in Italy. It was the best two weeks of adventuring together.» the bride shared with us.
«Colm proposed during a weekend in Paris a year later, it was so romantic and so much fun. He proposed at midnight at the Effiel Tower just as it sparkled – it was so thoughtful as it was my friend who had mentioned it sparkles on the hour every hour. It was so private and intimate as there was nobody else in the park, I turned around and there he was on one knee. I obviously said yes, and we went back to the restaurant on the Seine and had a bottle of champagne.»
Colm proposed with my birthstone ring as he wanted us to pick the ring together when we were in Paris which I loved as I am particular about jewelry. The next day we had such a gorgeous day together, we didn’t tell anyone until that evening, and we just soaked up the special moment. We picked the ring from Tiffany it was beautiful.

«The wedding decor was classic and beautiful, white roses, Lillies, candles and everything was outside under the start, we chose Portugal for the climate and the sunny days to allow us to get married in the garden of the Quinta Da Conceicao.»
We loved the ceremony in the walled garden. It was a humanist ceremony at 5 pm then we had a sunset cocktail reception with music and then dinner on the terrace and the band outside where we danced the night away until 1 am. We loved the vibe, the terracotta tiles, flowers, and private property for the weekend.

«The ceremony was so special and meaningful. Also, our dinner and our first dance. »
The bride’s advice: «If you end up having a big group of over 150 people I would invest in a dedicated wedding planner. »
«My wedding dress was couture designed by an Irish Designed Kathy De Stafford. It was stunning, ivory with a low cut back with hand sown rose petals. »
From JJMT Photography: «Linda and Colm and their daughter Lily came from Ireland with over 130 of their friends and family to celebrate their destination wedding in the beautiful historic Quinta da Conceição in Portugal. Friends and family flew in from all over the world to celebrate their wedding. It was a day filled with high energy, fun, laughter, and lots of love. Getting together during covid, having their daughter Lily and then the wedding of their dreams was simply magical. »
