Welcome!

During marriage there are somethings that you are banned from. 
If you want to get married you are required by law to make a annousment 3 weeks before the actual date in church. Doing this will prevent marrying in spur of the moment. It will also give any one the chance to object.

What has changed since the old days?
Today modern people live and move in areas with more people and with more frequent migrations between communities, it has become very unlikely that the bride and groom’s families already know each other, much less live in the same neighborhood.
Also Couples are likely to come from different religions,  social and ethnic backgrounds.
 

How to get married in Irish Weddings
You are only allowed to date if your parents, family elders or match-makers,  set it up.
You have to date for two or more years before marriage.
The families must know each other and live within a close distance.
