Fairytale Weddings in Trinity, and Maybe for the Last Time

DU Amnesty, Q Soc and TCDSU hosted the annual mock marriage ceremony ahead of the marriage equality referendum in May.

Shane Rice and Damien McClean. “At the end of the day, marriage equality is so important, and yes we’re joking about it now, but when it comes to the ballot, it’s actually serious, and we’re hoping to raise awareness by tomfoolery.” — McClean Sinéad Baker for The University Times

Ronan Hodson officiated during the ceremonies. Speaking about the first time he officiated, he said: “It was pure make believe – the idea that it would come along in reality. We all thought it would eventually in our own lifetimes but we never thought it would be so soon, or just around the corner as hopefully it is. This is the last time I’m doing this and it’s quite emotional for me because we have come such a long way in such a short time.” Sinéad Baker for The University Times
