Speaking to Independent.ie bride Patricia said: "It was a total surprise. The only two people who knew were my friend Gavin who was one of the singers and my sister Fiona who was bridesmaid. It was a huge surprise to everyone else at the church."

"Apparently there wasn't an actual rehearsal, just a gathering in the
church before the mass began to discuss it. We had the best day ever
and absolutely everybody said that the church was their favourite part
of the day," she said.
