    TV show Don't Tell The Bride featuring a gay couple will be repeated on RTE 2 tonight at 22.55.

    You can see it on the RTE Player as well.

    from RTE website:
    Irish boy Mark (29) first met his Venezuelan love Kerwin (24) four years ago in The Dragon bar in Dublin and it was love at first sight.

    At first they couldn't find the words to express their feelings .or anything else: Kerwin - "Didn't know English at all."

    But the language of love can survive anything.with a little help from 'google translator' - and over four years they've become friends - lovers - and soul buddies.

    Mark - "He's an amazing kisser, Venezuela kisser, that's the one thing that drawed me to him"

    In May 2014, Kerwin and Mark were civil partnered but now that marriage is available to them - they just can't wait to tie the knot.

    Mark - "Civil partnership was amazing, it made us a unit, but I think marriage offers so much more"

    Kerwin - "This is the real thing, we are as one"

    So now it's down to Mark to deliver Kerwin's dream wedding in just three weeks.

    Mark enlists his closest friend and confidant since he was 14 years old - Best woman Giuliana. Mark wants a celebration of love and liberty with a 1916 themed wedding. But will Kerwin feel as strongly about events he is very unfamiliar with?

    Kerwin wants a white white wedding - "I love everything white, modern, sleek and classy"

    Mark's taste seem to be a whole world and a hundred years away from Kerwin's..

    Can Mark save the day with a VERY important guest all the way from Venezuela?

    Throw in some 1916 volunteer wedding uniforms, An army tank down the Quays of Dublin, and one Mother in law missing in action!! This is going to be one wedding NOT to miss!!!!

    Saw this the other night when it was originally broadcast. I don't know if Mark was acting up for the cameras, but he came across to me as a bit of a diva. The phrase that sprung to mind was "If he was ice-cream, he would lick himself".

    All in all, it was nice to see a gay episode of the show and hopefully more to come now that it is legal in Ireland. The UK edition has only shown one gay couple and one lesbian couple in its entire (to date) 110 episode run.

    I didn't get that Pad e I thought they were a lovely couple.

    I loved the joie de vivre of Kerwin.


    There was a previous gay couple on DTTB.

    Me too, I thought they were both lots of fun and obviously really happy together.

    That last one was a civil partnership (there were also two women who were civil partnered last season I think it was too) but I think RTE are doing well to be inclusive, especially compared to the British version as outlined above.

    He'd do my head in, I might as well be going out with a woman.
