Nancy Byrne and Jeremy Kelly are professing their love to each other and showing their dedication to a good timeby getting married on St. Patrick's Day.

One day before their wedding, the couple jumped into the studio at theSt. John's Morning Showto explain their Irish roots and their love for each other and the holiday.

"It's always been a big tradition in my family to celebrate St. Patrick's Day," Byrne said."When Jeremy proposed to me last May, on my birthday, the first thing I did was look at the calendar."

She thumbed through the summer months and into September, before taking a glance at March to see what day St. Patrick's Day fell on.

When she saw it was a Saturday, she phoned her fianc and asked how he felt about a green wedding.

"He said, 'Well, 2019?' And I said, 'Ahh, no, 2018,'" Byrnelaughed.

There will be plenty of friends, family, fun and Irish music as the couple ties the knot.

"We've gone out of our way to make sure everyone is comfortable and relaxed," Byrnesaid. "Because it's St. Patrick's Day, it's a celebration. There's no need for stress. If I'm not stressed, nobody needs to be stressed."

Still dressing up

There will be no green get-ups for the bride and groom, however. Byrne will be wearing a white dress the most beautiful one she's ever seen, she says and Kelly will be decked out in all black.

"He's never going to forget it," Byrne said.

"There's also a good chance I'm never going to remember it either," Kellyreplied, making his fiancelaugh.
