Emma-Kate and Karol had many ups and downs before they planned their perfect day, but stuck together and arranged a gorgeous lake side wedding. With everything planned Emma-Kate and Karol had another unexpected set back, resulting in their dream low-key wedding being postponed. But in the end love prevailed and the couple finally got to celebrate their love in a colourful DIY real wedding at the private island of Lusty Beg.

Karol and Emma-Kate grew up around the corner from one another in Omagh, Co. Tyrone, but only became friends after they both came home from college and travelling in 2002. They soon realised they shared the same sense of humour and outlook on life and became closer again. Emma-Kate's mum sadly passed away in 2009 and Karol was with her each step of the way, really cementing their friendship and love. Emma-Kate testifies (rather adorably)..."He's always there with me holding my hand through the good times and bad making me laugh and smile, I couldn't wait to marry my best friend."
