When it comes to speeches at Irish weddings, it often looks like the lads have the market cornered.

From the father of the bride and the best man to the groom himself, us ladies often take a back seat when it comes to public speaking on our big day.

Unless you’re Ina O’Brien, that is.

Taking social media by storm this week, this stunning bride from Co. Mayo turned the notion that us ladies merely smile through the speeches on its head, and gave a rendition of Ice Ice Baby which has Facebook users falling all over themselves.

Clocking up a staggering 55,000 likes in 23 hours, Ina and her new husband, Aidan, have been inundated with congratulations from Facebook users only dying for the next instalment.

With suggestions flooding in that Ina has found her true vocation in life, the new bride responded: “lol. Think it’s a bit early to quit the day job!!!! Don't worry you can shoot my next video!!!!”

Ladies, feast your eyes.

When it comes to high-profile couples, it's no exaggeration to say that much of the world is head over heels for Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, but unfortunately the same can't exactly be said for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

And yet despite their conflicting positions in the eyes of the public, the two couple remain firm friends, seeing each other through engagements, marriages, and children.

While reflecting on their bond in footage which Kim uploaded to her app this week, the two ladies admitted that each other's wedding days coincidentally signalled two of the biggest rows they have ever had with their respective partners.

Opening up about her reaction to Chrissy's wedding which Kim didn't end up attending, Kim told Chrissy: "I got in a fight with Kanye during your wedding."

"I didn’t go. North was just born and I was so fat, and I had nothing to wear, so then he kept texting me," Kim explained.

"Babe, this is so pretty. I really wish you were here at Lake Como.’ Literally a play-by-play text," Kim told her friend. " We got into the biggest fight. ‘Just stop texting me. Go enjoy the wedding, you’re making me feel so bad!"

Thankfully, Chrissy had Kim's back on this one, and revealed that she and John also had an absolute blazer on Kimye's big day.

"John and I got in the biggest fight at [Kim and Kanye’s] wedding that you’ve ever seen in your whole life," the new mum admitted.

Is it weird that this makes us feel better about our own bust-ups?!

Corbin Bleu – who famously played Chad Danforth in HSM – is now a married man.

He tied the knot yesterday evening, exchanging vows with fellow actor, Sasha Clements. 

Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE, Mr Bleu confirmed: "Getting married to Sasha today was the best moment of my life." 

The couple wed in the Santa Barbara, California in front of 160 guests. 

PEOPLE also revealed that the newlyweds' first dance as a married couple was a salsa number choreographed by Corbin's Dancing With The Stars partner Karina Smirnoff. 

Talking about the big day, 27-year-old Mr Bleu added: "I have to say my favourite part was the feeling that started in my toes and went all the way to the top of my head when Sasha came through the gate to the entrance of our venue and walked down the aisle.

"From the flowing veil in the wind as she walked, to the big smile on her face, it suddenly hit me that this stunning woman that was looking at me was going to marry me and make me the happiest man in the world." 

Ms Clements, 26, added that the ceremony was "perfect" and went off without a hitch. "Today was the most perfect day. There is not one thing I would change. Corbin's vows were incredibly beautiful and it was truly the best day of our lives," she told PEOPLE. 

Guests enjoyed a family-style Italian dinner, a three-tier cake from Sweet E's bakery, and late night snacks from In-N-Out

Bleu and Clements got engaged in Disney World in October 2014. They first met in a Toronto grocery store in 2011.

It's the modern bride dilemma: just how do you rock killer footwear on your wedding day… while also still honouring your vegan lifestyle?

However, it seems that Monsieur Christian won't let an animal-loving bride down – he was able to come up with custom-made pumps without needing to use leather or skins.

New York-resident Jennie Wilson was engaged in December 2014 – but six months later turned vegan.

"I always intended to wear Christian Louboutin shoes on my wedding day," Ms Wilson, 30, told the New York Post. However, she added: "I did not want an animal to die [just so I could wear] its skin as leather."

It seeming took months for Louboutin to find materials that met his exacting standards and to figure out a cruelty-free construction – but the cobbler got there in then end, allowing Jennie to walk down the aisle on June 11 in France in unique footwear.

The painstaking procedure involved making casts of the bride’s feet. 

“Once [Louboutin] determined they were able to source the materials, it was seamless,” she stated, explaining that the shoes were eventually made from a pale pink satin-like fabric in the designer's Paris atelier.  

It has been reported that standard made-to-measure Louboutins take five weeks to process and cost at least €3,000 – although Jennie won't reveal how much exactly she paid for her 6in vegan version (she did say she spent "well over" $100,000 in total on the nuptials). 

Louboutin furthermore constructed a cruelty-free sparkly clutch-style bag as a gift for Jennie.

She married her fiancé, Richard Smith, 30, at the Château d’Ermenonville near Paris wearing custom vegan dress by Galia Lahav.

And a total of 60 guests dined on – understandably – vegan fare once vows were exchanged.

This will be the Victoria Secret’s model’s second wedding as she was previously married to actor Orlando Bloom from 2010 until 2013.  The pair share a five-year-old son together named Flynn.

Lady Gaga has reportedly ended her five-year relationship with actor Taylor Kinney.

E! News has reported that the pair – who met in 2011 on the set of Gaga’s You and I music video – have called off their engagement following months of speculation that their relationship was in trouble.

A source told E! that Gaga and Taylor “want to keep it private” before describing the situation as “heartbreaking”.

Currently it is unclear as to who broke up with who but the Just Dance singer has been spotted out without her engagement ring on two occasions in the last week.

Taylor proposed to Gaga with a sizeable heart-shaped diamond ring on Valentine’s Day last year.

Ronan Keating has surprised his fans today by releasing a new music video for his song In Your Arms, but that's not the only surprise that's landed.

The singer debuted the new video, which shows footage from his wedding day – a move nobody expected him to make.

Scenes from his outdoor wedding in Scotland where he married Storm Uechtritz are featured in the footage as well as behind-the-scenes moments from when he and Storm were getting ready before the big ceremony.

Speaking to The Mirror, Ronan said: "It's the first time I have done something like this, which kind of seems appropriate given there are so many 'first time' things about this album.

"They're obviously very personal videos – and songs – because not only is my wife involved with both, so are my kids and our wedding day.

"I've never included my family in this way before and it makes me very proud – I guess because I've never been in a position to be so honest in my music before."

"It's liberating. My family are a true extension of me," he added.

She might be best known as Ciara, but Ciara Princess Wilson really lived up to her middle name yesterday when she married professional footballer Russell Wilson at Cheshire’s Peckforton Castle.

The pop star and her new husband – who announced their engagement back in March – took to Instagram last night to share the first picture from their big day with fans.

The image shows the newlyweds walking hand-in-hand down the aisle shortly after tying the knot and is proudly captioned: "We are The Wilsons."

Ciara’s stunning white lace gown – which featured subtle corset detailing to the front and delicate bell sleeves – was designed by her friend Peter Dundas, who also happens to be Roberto Cavalli’s creative director.

 

We are The Wilsons!

The designer later regrammed the shot, writing: “Congratulations my dear friend Ciara and Russell Wilson.  Looking like a fairytale princess bride in #CavalliCouture.”

The Love Sex Magic singer wore a long veil over soft curls for the event and completed the look with a simple all white bouquet.

Unfortunately ​​​​Ciara’s close friend Serena Williams was unable to make the occasion as she was committed to the Wimbledon semi-finals.

A source told E! News: "Serena really wanted to be a part of Ciara's bridal party when she asked her a while back, but she knew work may conflict.”

"Ciara was understanding and knows Serena would be there if she could. They have spoken today and have FaceTimed each other, so it's like Serena is in the room with all the girls."

Thankfully the star wasn’t left short of help in Serena's absence as she had eight bridesmaids – one being singer Kelly Rowland – who were all dressed in Michael Costello custom couture.

Congrats ya'll!

It’s well known that wedding guests are generally not supposed to wear white to the occasion, but are there other major no-nos when it comes to how guests dress?  And do other guests have the right to enforce those restrictions?

These are questions being asked by a New Zealand woman this week after she was abused by other guests at a wedding she attended for wearing a short peach-coloured bandage dress.

In a post which was shared on radio station The Breeze Waikato’s Facebook page, a friend of the woman explained: “A friend wore this dress to a wedding in the weekend and got targeted big time.”

“She got treated rudely by other women at the wedding who saw her as a target for wearing this dress.”

“A woman came up behind her and slapped her on the bum and said it was on a dare from a group of other women who were watching and snickering.”

“Someone else seemingly purposely spilt a beer on her.”

“She's amazed that grown women could be so immature and such bullies.”

“She wants to know – Did she bring ANY of this on herself by wearing this dress to a wedding?  Your thoughts?”

As anyone who’s familiar with the web’s infamous comment sections would expect, the post received a mixed response, with some people praising the woman’s confidence, while others suggesting she should have covered up.

One Facebook-user wrote: “The other women are just jealous. Personally I'd never wear a dress like that, simply because I don't have the figure for it and definitely don't have the confidence to wear it. But if she's got it, why not be proud of it. Least she's not wearing white and trying to upstage the bride!”

But another said: “Too slutty for a wedding… that sort of dress is ok on a date night or for the bedroom but NOT for a wedding. Its bad form to outshine the bride."

While it's never okay to abuse someone for what they wear, are there limits to what wedding guests should wear?

Just because it’s your wedding day, doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed time off – at least that’s what Pennsylvanian nurse Julie Stroyne learned on her big day.

According to People, the 24-year-old trauma nurse was outside her reception venue just hours after walking down the aisle when she came across an unconscious woman.

Julie immediately leapt into action and began performing CPR on the woman – all the while wearing her wedding dress – until the paramedics arrived.

The bride told ABC: “To be honest I don’t remember running. I just threw my purse and my flowers and just went into action.”

“[Her pulse] got stronger as I kept feeling for it which was a good sign. Her respirations were very shallow but I think the action of me giving compressions kind of woke her up.”

“All I have to say is, thank goodness I had one champagne with the toast and that’s it.”

“I didn’t drink at all. Thank goodness I was able to help.”

Julie’s mother told People that she wasn't surprised by her daughter's actions and said "she picked the right calling".

The newlyweds are now holidaying in the UK before completing their honeymoon with a trip to Greece.

After all that, we think their break very well deserved.
