Jimmy's letter at the end had us in bits
Back in November of last year, Today FM's Muireann O'Connell show launched the Your Day Fm competition, where the couples of Ireland were given the chance to win an ALL EXPENSES PAID wedding in the beautiful Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa Hotel, Co. Cork.
But it wasn't just the wedding that was on offer, oh no, there was also the addition of a wedding brekkie with the king of breakfast radio Mr Ian Dempsey, speech tips from Dermot and Dave, Fergal D'Arcy on the decks as wedding DJ and lots, lots more.
After hundreds of entries, a load of tricky on-air challenges against the finalist couples, and a tense tie-breaker, Michelle Roche and her fiancé of seven years Jimmy Kirwan were crowned the Your Day FM champs.
Here's their winning moment:

The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show broadcast live from the spectacular West Cork venue and were honoured to share the wedding brekkie with bride Michelle and some of her nearest and dearest.
Michelle, who was getting her hair and makeup done throughout the show, filled Iano in about her and Jimmy's thirteen year romance and how the fairytale wasn't exactly love at first site.
Best man John forgets his speech and gets hit on by one of our listeners, Maid of Honour Tracey has a few secrets and Cork musician John Spillane provides a very special message.
But the biggest surprise of all is Jimmy's letter - a letter Michelle knew nothing about. And his delivery was perfection.
We wish them a life full of love, laughter and a happy ever after.
