Yvonne and Ronan had been good friends for two years before they married. They discovered their love for each other last year when Ronan's mother Marie died of cancer, Yvonne's love and support helped him through one of the worst periods of his life. After the shock of his mothers death Ronan and Yvonne took a short break to the Caribbean island of Nevis and it was there that they married on April the 30th 1998.Ronan was 21, Yvonne was 24.

How they met: When I was 13 I was helping deliver groceries to a local store. I saw Yvonne, we said hello and then I left. She asked my Dad about me the next week when he went back but I was ill at home and never went back. Years later we met and became friends. I dropped her home one night, and when we passed that shop i told her about the little girl with pigtails and braces and she said that was me, It was the weirdest thing. She's the most beautiful woman in the world but not flash She's my soul mate.
 

We were friends but in the end I felt something more for her. It was either tell her or walk away, I told her and luckily she felt the same way. Yvonne and i were in Dublin and i got down on one knee for her I really wanted to do the whole thing properly. I drove her to that party on the back of my bike, and that was like, Here we go, this is it, because i knew the cameras were there. I was saying She's the one for me. It was raining and, half an hour before the wedding, the sun burst out from behind the clouds, as we were going through rows of houses to get married I felt my mam's presence beside me. I wanted the first girl I slept with to be the one I married - I stuck to that and I'm glad I did. We got married for each other not for anybody else. Only time will show everyone how we really feel about each other.

I sing for Yvonne occasionally, usually when I'm driving the car I'll break into song for her. It's just brilliant being married. It's been magic. I love Yvonne like I never thought i could love anyone. We're just made for each other. She's the greatest girl anyone could wish for and I want to be with her for the rest of my life. I can't remember being this happy in a long time. Yvonne's not used to the music business and I am. So God love her, I felt sorry for her. In fact, at one point I had to take he away because it wasn't fair what the papers were saying about us. That was straight after the marriage and when we came back they were all putting their views forward on why we married. I just said to Yvonne, Rise above it. They don't care about our feelings. There's no words that can express how I feel about Yvonne .When I see her my legs go weak, me tummy turns upside down and me head goes light. It's just everything. Love is an incredible feeling, and when you find it, you know about it.; I never knew what it was like until i met Yvonne.
