We were both on a one-year, around-the-world\u00a0trip with friends, when our mutual friends bumped into each other at the festivities,&#8221; Michelle, 33, explains. &#8220;My friend and I were looking for somewhere to live and Mikey&#8217;s place happened to have a spare room available. It was perfect.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although they were roommates within a few days, sparks didn&#8217;t fly until they were both home in Cork. &#8220;Over the next few months we fell head-over-heels for each other,&#8221; says Michelle. They continued their travels together, heading to New Zealand, and then Ireland,\u00a0&#8220;chasing the surf&#8221;\u00a0in a VW campervan.<\/p>\n<p>Mikey proposed on New Year&#8217;s Eve, 2013, and the couple spent the next year and a half <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/planning-tools\/\">planning<\/a> their boho wedding.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love DIY and crafting, so I was in my element\u00a0making <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/WeddingDecorations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">decorations<\/a> for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingVenues\/\">hotel<\/a> and marquee,&#8221; Michelle\u00a0says.\u00a0&#8220;I have a keen interest in the environment so tried to be as\u00a0sustainable as possible by using old materials and upcycling pieces of wood. I even sourced <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingInvitations\/\">invitations<\/a> from Botanical PaperWorks that\u00a0you could plant afterwards to grow wildflowers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The couple wed on May 15, 2015 at Fernhill House Hotel in West Cork in front of 190 family and friends. While they had hoped for an outdoor ceremony, the fickle Irish weather forced a last-minute change of plans, indoors.\u00a0&#8220;The rain didn\u2019t\u00a0dampen our spirits and we managed to get to the beach for some snaps after the ceremony,&#8221; Michelle says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The day was\u00a0everything we had imagined &#8211; loads of love, laughter with family and friends. Just wish we could do it all\u00a0over again!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weddingsbyjohnbeasley.ie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Weddings by John
