Adam Menton and Sophie Ni Bhriain met in WCFE studying multimedia in 2016.
Adam comes from Tramore and Sophie from Clonmel.
They connected through their love of film and video games, staying up late playing PlayStation games and talking on Skype calls.
They snuck looks across the classroom and laughed mid lectures, sparks were flying.
The couple got together on 30 September, after their romantic first kiss, outside Penneys in Waterford.
They journeyed through the same college courses, moving in together in Carlow to study film in 2018.
They hosted many parties, dinners with friends and movie nights. They were rarely without one another, and still are always side by side, communicating through subtle looks and movie quotes. They love going to the cinema and concerts together.
On Halloween 2022, Sophie arrived back at their student apartment to over 200 candles laid out in a bat symbol and the words "say yes," to the music of Hans Zimmer.
Adam knew exactly how to set up a proposal - but yes was always going to be the answer, no matter what.
The two were married at The Woodford Dolmen Hotel on September 30 2025, nine years to the day after their first kiss.
Their wedding was themed with their favourite movies. They had a red and black colour scheme. Oscar trophies, movie posters and clapperboards sat on every table. They also had a fake tattoo station.
They've always compared one another to Morticia and Gomez Addams so they had an Addams Family themed cake to match their aisle music.
The couple were joined in their celebrations by their families from Clonmel, Waterford, Scotland, and USA, and their friends.
The couple would like to thank their family and friends for travelling to and attending their special day.
They would also like to thank their amazing photographer, Gintas Maci of MacePhotos, and videographer, Morgan Mescal, the Woodford Dolmen staff, their celebrant Gerry Byrne, Sweet Baking Mama for the amazing cake, MyDearFlorist in Carlow, and Deise Weddings , all their vendors for helping bring their day together.
Til death do them part-y!
