My Wedding Day with Ruth McIlroy: 'The day of our wedding was the first time we saw the venue'

"I ended up having to get my dress made, which meant I didn't get the whole experience of shopping for a wedding dress — but because I was having a dress made, I focused very much on it being comfortable."

We got married on June 12, 2021. It wasn't in the height of covid, but it was certainly influenced by covid.

We were living in Chester in the UK at the time, but our wedding was back in Northern Ireland, where we’re from, in Larne.
