<\/p>\n

A megalithic stone circle in Kerry gave a sense of timelessness yet intimacy as Marion Le Maitre and Owain Plumb exchanged vows.<\/p>\n

The bride, who is French-Australian, moved from Sydney to Ireland two years ago, and the groom relocated from Newport in Wales eight years ago. They now live in Kenmare.<\/p>\n

Marion Le Maitre and Owain Plumb were married by Garrett Ledwith.<\/figcaption><\/picture>\n

\u201cLike most millennials, we met on a dating app, when I was visiting Ireland,\u201d says Marion, a nurse.<\/p>\n

\u201cI drove from Clare to Dublin for our first date and moved in with him that weekend. When you know you know, they say!\u201d<\/p>\n\"\"<\/picture>\n

Owain, who works for a tech company in Dublin, popped the question in summer 2020. \u201cHe just asked me in bed when I woke up. He later did a \u2018proper\u2019 proposal down on one knee and with the ring in Dublin \u2014 he made me walk up a hill but I was complaining the whole time and he knew I was getting hungry for lunch so he just found a little spot through the bushes and popped the question. We then had lunch at a fish-and-chips place on the beach,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/picture>\n

They were wed at Uragh Stone Circle in Kenmare on June 12, 2021, in a ceremony led by celebrant Garrett Ledwith, organised by Eloping in Ireland and followed by a reception at the Brooklane Hotel. \u201cI wanted something embracing the Irish culture with a handfasting \u2014 we\u2019d bought the ribbons months prior in Paris,\u201d says Marion.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/picture>\n

The couple live just up the road from the stone circle and go for weekly walks there with their dog so decided on the spot very early on. \u201cBut we didn\u2019t know how to organise the rest so we found Eloping in Ireland and Stephen [Neary from Eloping in Ireland] organised the rest! We wanted something low-key without stress and that\u2019s exactly what we got,\u201d says the bride.<\/p>\n

The celebration was attended only by Owain\u2019s parents, Kevin and Paula, the groom\u2019s two daughters Florence and Eloise and the bride\u2019s son Liam.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/picture>\n

Michelle bg Photography and LM Wedding Videography captured the occasion for posterity on camera. \u201cIt\u2019d been raining all week leading up to the wedding but the forecast was predicting an amazing weekend,\u201d says Marion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe day itself was so warm and sunny. Everything went smoothly but we\u2019re a bit sad about how quickly the day went. The kids behaved, the grandparents helped a lot with everything, we managed to sneak in a cheeky pint of Guinness during the photoshoot, and our faces were cramping from smiling so much. Everyone in Kenmare was so nice and clapped as we walked past and the traffic stopped for us on the main street as we took pictures in the middle of the road.<\/p>\n\"Handfasting

Handfasting with ribbons sourced in Paris was part of the ceremony. <\/figcaption><\/picture>\n

\u201cAnd we\u2019d like to give a shoutout to the Horseshoe pub in Kenmare for giving us free drinks!\u201d<\/p>\n

The bride wore a Jenny Yoo gown teamed with silk flowers from Etsy and her hair and makeup were by Tricia O\u2019Sullivan from Dingle, while the groom wore a Remus Uomo suit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI bought my dress very last minute online in New York and it turned out perfect!\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/picture>\n

Liam, four, had other ideas about the occasion. \u201cHe thought it was my birthday the whole time because of my \u2018pretty dress\u2019 and the wedding cake,\u201d says his mother.<\/p>\n

The newlyweds plan to honeymoon in Nepal and the Maldives once it is possible. \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to see Everest,\u201d says Marion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
