The countdown is on to the biggest day of a couple’s life…
A Week to My Wedding features ordinary couples taking, what is essentially, an extraordinary step. This year over 24,000 couples will say ‘I do’. The average wedding will cost over 21,000 euro and no wedding is the same. In this new series, we join six couples with one week to go. A week set to be one of the most intense, stressful, unpredictable and exciting week of their lives.
Episode 5 – Laura & Mick – TX – Thursday 1 October at 8.30pm
Clinical Nurse Manager Laura Pender and Postman Mick Lonergan met on a night out eleven years ago. Laura was celebrating the end of her Leaving Cert exams and Mick was convinced to go out for the night by a friend. The minute they spotted one another they liked what they saw. Mick wasted no time in wooing Laura in the early years of their courtship but it was a different story when it came to proposing. Having waited just under a decade to say that Laura is looking forward to planning the wedding of her dreams is an understatement.
The week leading up to their big day will see the Dublin couple finishing work, finalising table plans, collecting suits, packing for honeymoon and collecting wedding rings.
Laura may be the epitome of the organised bride but there are a few things that she can’t plan for – whether or not Mick will master their choreographed first dance routine or whether her emotional dad will keep it together to get his eldest daughter up the aisle.
