Joanna Donnelly picking up the phone during the wedding ceremonyThe run of the day in a Dutch wedding is very different to Irish weddings. I had grown up being quite sure I didn’t want to be a bride or wear a wedding dress, or any of that. I had originally bought a brown dress that was very pretty from Monsoon, and that was going to be my wedding dress. So I went back into Monsoon and exchanged the brown dress for a wedding dress off the rack. I had grown up being quite sure I didn’t want to be a bride or wear a wedding dress, or any of that."
