    Should watching sports be banned at weddings?

    03/07/2026 | 16 mins.
    With the World Cup in full swing and the All-Ireland hurling and football finals capturing everyone's attention, we're firmly in the sports season, but it's also the peak wedding season!
    For many couples, especially brides and grooms planning every detail of their big day, there's an added challenge: how do you keep guests focused on the celebration when there's a huge match happening at the same time?
    Should couples embrace the sporting occasion by showing the game or building it into the day? Or is it up to guests to switch off from sport for one day and give the newlyweds their full attention?
    Joining Andrea to discuss is Sara Kennedy, Wedding Expert with ‘The Aisle by Sara Kennedy’ blog, Ruth Scott, Broadcaster & Humanist Weddings Celebrant and more.
