Nine News: Jennie O'Sullivan reports that a Cork couple have become the first to marry in a venue other than a church or registry office under new legislation
Ireland's first civil marriage ceremony outside an official registry office took place in Co Kerry today.
The ceremony was at the Cahernane Hotel in Killarney.
The civil marriage law was changed recently to give greater flexibility to couples.
The new guidelines state that the wedding venue must be open to the public and must take place in a fixed structure. This rules out beaches, mountain tops and marquees.
