Jessie and James’ relaxed and intimate wedding at the Ardboyne Hotel



When love and family are at the heart of a wedding, it creates a celebration that is truly unforgettable. Jessie and James’ special day at the Ardboyne Hotel in Navan was one of those weddings—personal, heartfelt, and filled with laughter.


Marking not only their wedding day but also their 8th anniversary as a couple, Jessie and James chose to keep their celebration intimate, surrounded by their children and closest loved ones. It wasn’t just about becoming husband and wife; it was about honoring the journey they’ve shared and the family they’ve built.


The ceremony was as beautiful as it was meaningful. Jessie and James exchanged vows, lit candles to symbolise their unity, and even tied the knot—literally! Their love and commitment radiated through every moment, with James unable to hold back his emotions as Jessie walked down the aisle.


But what made this wedding truly unique was how unapologetically authentic Jessie and James were. Jessie, a mother of four, was the epitome of cool and calm. She arrived with her family on a luxury bus, wearing snow white trainers as her wedding shoes, and sat confidently, cigarette in hand, while waiting to be called inside. Nothing phased her—she embraced her day exactly as she was, and it made her all the more radiant.


James, though quieter and a little nervous, wore his heart on his sleeve. His love for Jessie was evident in his every glance and tear, especially during the emotional moment she walked down the aisle.


Following the ceremony, the celebration kicked off with a relaxed reception of bubbles, canapés, and plenty of hugs and laughter. Family and friends gathered to toast the couple, share stories, and enjoy the joy of the occasion.


The family photos were a highlight of the day, filled with playful antics and laughter. Jessie and James’ children were at the heart of the fun, making the photos feel like a true reflection of their family dynamic—full of love and a touch of mischief.


Jessie and James’ wedding wasn’t about perfection; it was about connection, love, and celebrating who they are as a couple and a family. Their day at the Ardboyne Hotel was a reminder that the best weddings are the ones that truly reflect the couple and the life they’ve created together.


Congratulations, Jessie and James, on your wedding and 8th anniversary. Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, and keeping it real!
