“I don’t even own a white bra,” chuckled a new bride who got married last weekend in an all-black ceremony, complete with a double coffin!<\/p>\n

Keelin Ward and her husband Anthony Kavanagh said ‘I do!’ in St Patrick’s Church in Trim, followed by a dark reception in Trim Castle Hotel.<\/p>\n

The couple live with their three children Ellie (17), Jackson (13) and Fury (8) in Athboy and run a number of Savage Martial Arts schools for children.<\/p>\n

The happy couple on their big day.<\/p>\n

Anthony popped the big question ten years ago when he recorded a proposal and got it played ahead of the film Brooklyn in the Diamond Cinema in Navan.<\/p>\n

Keelin says she just adores the colour black so wanted to be true to herself on her wedding day last Saturday.<\/p>\n

She and Anthony love horror movies and crows and she even has a tattoo of the bird.<\/p>\n

“I just love the colour black and wear it all the time. I might wear the odd bit of brown but that’s it. I don’t even own a white bra.<\/p>\n

She sourced her black dress from Bespoke Bridal and the black roses from The Faux Edit.<\/p>\n

“Everyone knows me so there wasn’t one eyebrow raised, not even from the priest who was lovely.<\/p>\n

“My six bridesmaids all wore black, I had black roses and crows and birdcages and skulls.<\/p>\n

“I even had a double coffin made, decorated by my dad Tom, because I always joke to Anthony that if I die first, he may get into the casket with me.<\/p>\n

“It was a bit of fun and it became a photo booth for guests on the day.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think brides should automatically go for white if they don’t want to. It’s nice to be different.<\/p>\n

“I had my dream wedding to my dream man with my dream kids, family and friends and that’s all that matters.<\/p>\n
