Bonnie Ryan has lifted the lid on her registry office wedding in Dublin last month, saying her younger sister Babs cried as she tied the knot.
Their mum Morah held it all together as she provided tissues to the 15 guests invited to the intimate ceremony on the day.
Bonnie and her teenage sweetheart John made things official by signing the legal documents in Ireland before jetting abroad for their real wedding this summer.

She told RSVP Live : “In the lead-up to the ceremony, we saw it as an opportunity to sign on the dotted line and it was no big deal.
“For us, our real wedding is in a few weeks, but it was so nice and I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would when the day arrived.
“I was very formal about it, but the day was so nice. It was lovely having our families there.” Morah was able to hold back the tears as her second eldest daughter said “I do”.
Bonnie has kept the details of her overseas wedding under wraps, even after it had to be postponed last year.
She said: “Pushing out the date initially, I was like ‘It’s grand’ but now I really want it to happen.
“We are so excited and we are in full countdown mode.”
