It all began at the Cork Jazz Festival 2021, where Helene met Ciaran through a friend she’d just met at her running club. Ciaran, was instantly smitten. But did Helene know that? Nope. In fact, when he invited her on a date, she just thought it was some sort of casual hangout—classic Helene move.. Fast-forward through some adventures with Milo (because what’s a love story without a dog?) and globetrotting around the world, Ciaran finally got the hint. He couldn’t wait any longer—so, Christmas last year, he popped the question. And, yes, Helene had definitely been very impatient by then. Now, they’re tying the knot next August, after a couple of years of making memories, laughing, and, well, Ciaran waiting for Helene to stop wondering when the proposal would happen
