Mariana & Steve
April 19 2025 · Ponta da Fruta, Brazil
Please join Mariana and Steve on the 19 April, 2025 as we celebrate our wedding in Brazil.
Mariana’s Story
A Brazilian chef with a flair for flavour, Mariana has been spicing up Irish lives for the past 10 years. When she's not cooking up a storm, she's busting moves on the dance floor—just don’t ask her to samba while sautéing!
Steve’s Story
A proud Dub, Steve is also a lover of Brazilian culture and, of course the cuisine 😋. He’s a jack-of-all-trades and master of none, excelling at being average in DIY, languages, football, guitar—you name it, he can barely do it!
Our Story
In 2017, after a few false starts, we realised everything we ever wanted was right in front of us. A couple of years after moving in together we took in Missy after she got made redundant from her job on the farm. Then, in 2021, we welcomed our beautiful daughter [read rascal] Sadie into the world. We got engaged in Dec 2023, and now it’s time for the next chapter!
