And over the course of the show’s run, Shannon from Dublin and Ciara from Monaghan were certainly counted among those gems.
Following a first date in January 2018 that involved Baby Guinness and a mutual love for Mark McCabe’s Maniac 2000, the pair began dating.

Sharing the news of the couple’s engagement on Twitter today, RTÉ paid tribute to the pair who found love on the dating show.
