“We served non-alcoholic champagne and told everyone after dinner!” - Ami

Ever wondered how Irish weddings have changed from the big hair and big bows of the ‘90s to today’s Pinterest-perfect, budget-busting bashes? In this laugh-out-loud episode of Was Your Ma on Telly, Kelly and Ami take you on a nostalgic (and chaotic) journey through wedding trends, fashion disasters, and emotional moments - from the era of disposable cameras to the Instagram aisle.

They spill the tea on their own big days with kelly just recently saying “I do”. From Kelly being heavily pregnant, Ami’s Ronan Keating singing cameo and explore why more Irish millennials are questioning the whole idea of getting married at all.
