Experience Marrying in Ireland?

[Saint_Abroad]

The (future) Mrs and I plan to wed in Ireland. Unfortunately the UK has a 21 day residency requirements and we're US citizens so the Emerald Isle makes the most sense, hopefully I can sneak in a Saints game though.

 

My question, has anyone had experience wedding in Ireland recently? They changed the residency requirements (5 days?) but I'm interested in anyone's personal experiences handling paper work, etc as a non-Irish citizen. I've googled it and got a good idea on what needs to happen but I appreciate any insight.

 

Thanks
