Doireann Garrihy is a 2024 bride

The couple, who got engaged after a year together in 2023, has been busy preparing for their nuptials and Doireann recently gave a sweet update on their big day.

There's no doubt the pair are planning quite a lavish affair for their special day.

Doireann confirmed that they will be getting married this year, but they're staying close to home rather than jetting off for their big day.

She told her followers that she is a 2024 bride and cannot wait to marry Mark later this year.

She said: "We've set our date, the end of this year in Ireland."

Doireann revealed that she's nearly all set for their big day and even has her dress chosen.

"We have our venue, church, priest, band, number of guests (the actual list is a work in progress), dress …a lot to do but we’ll get there!"

She said she found her dress when she was shopping with her family, but made the decision on a date night.

She told her followers: "I went wedding dress shopping with Aoibhín and Ailbhe and found a dream dress."

"But thought it was too good to be true to find it first time round… so looked in a second shop with my Mom and although we had a ball, my heart was with the dress in the first shop."

“So, on a midweek date night – without my Mom or my bridesmaids – and sitting across from my fiancé, I’m doing it all arseways and celebrating saying YES to the dress."

Doireann hasn't disclosed where she's tying the knot but there's no doubt the couple have chosen a perfect venue for their big day.
