Brian & Amy

A simple trip to the supermarket turned more interesting then I thought when my eyes landed on the newspaper stand. And there I noticed:

Brian & Amy

On the front page of every newspaper you had the same big title with the same big photo and the same story about the Irish wedding of the year. And I mean every single newspaper one can think of: the Times, the Independent, the Post, The Herald, the Examiner, broadsheets, tabloids, glossy magazines, even the goddamn crossword puzzles had the picture of those two the cover.

I've been living in Dublin for more than two years now and the only thing I can say is: Who the hell are these people?

Later edit: after a bit of asking around I found out that the above happy couple is a famous rugby player and his chick. And nobody in Ireland gives a damn except for housewives and.. newspapers.
