Nicky and Gina's Fairytales


NICKY & GINA!



Nicky and Gina's fairytales!


Nicky Byrne and Georgina Ahern met as twelve year olds at their school St. Nessain's Secondary. He first saw her as he was walking into his class and she was sat on the first desk. And, like all hormonal teenagers, he had an immediate crush on her. He claimed that although he noticed all of her, he confessed that, "the first thing I noticed were her eyes. It was just like, Oh my God, I could have lost myself in her eyes!" That day he came home to tell his mam, Yvonne, that he saw the girl he was going to marry. Like all mothers, Yvonne was amused when she heard this. Little does she know.
Today, Nicky and Georgina Byrne is one of the most famous couples in Ireland, often seen out and about in the newly hip Dublin. The couple lives in an exclusive complex in Malahide, where Georgina is from, and is neighbours with the likes of Ronan and Yvonne Keating. Nicky, one fourth of Ireland's biggest boyband, Westlife, and Georgina, a business management graduate, married in France on August 9, 2003 in front of 410 guests. The fairytale wedding sealed their love and commitment to each other. But all wasn't always perfect, certainly not at the beginning...
After seeing Georgina for the first time, Nicky didn't manage to speak to her for two years. He would walk along the corridor several times every day just so he would pass her, even though they were sharing four classes already: business studies, music, choir and science, where they used to sit across from each other and shared glances all throughout the lesson. Unknown to him, she noticed him right from the first day of secondary school: "I remember our first day at school, in the afternoon, when I went back home, some of my friends asked, 'What are the guys like?' I thought of Nicky and said, 'There's only one good-looking guy there, but I don't think he even noticed me.' That's how it seemed."
Georgina's shy nature left it up to Nicky if he wanted to take their friendship further. But the normally outgoing Nicky had been struck down by shyness whenever he was around her, as he recalled, "I'm very shy if I like a girl. I'm not normally shy but if I like a girl I don't know what to say to her because whatever I say, I think she's going to just laugh at me. Whereas if I say nothing then I can't go wrong." What he didn't realise was that she also had developed a crush on him, as did the other girls in school it seemed! She remembered her first impression of him "in his smart new school uniform, his school-bag on his shoulder, he was kind of posing against the corridor wall."
When they were in third year, he finally took the step. He knew a boy from his geography class, Michael Heynes, who took the same bus home with Georgina, so Nicky asked Michael to ask her if she would go out with him.
She said no.
It crushed Nicky and he decided to let it go, at least until he was ready again. However, a year later his best mate, Cause, took the matter to his own hands and asked Georgina's best mate, Anita Tracey to ask Georgina again. Nicky was livid when he found out. Until Anita told him that Georgina had said yes.
Georgina and Nicky first went out together on October 8, 1994 to a party, even though they didn't date properly until a few months later. They did, however, have their first kiss that night. Georgina described the kiss as, "a class act, a perfect kiss." He became her first ever boyfriend.
It's well known that shortly after they became a couple, Nicky joined Leeds United's youth team as a talented goalkeeper. He moved to Leeds, leaving his family and Georgina behind. Two years later, Nicky was sent home to Dublin because, at 5ft and 10in, Leeds United deemed him to be too short to be a professional footballer. He was understandably devastated, but Georgina stood by him. Her strength became his "inspiration".
Georgina tried her best to kept Nicky occupied to help him. When she received her pocket money every Sunday from her dad, she would buy a take away and shared it with Nicky, who was still readjusting from receiving an income from football to suddenly nothing. She kept up her support and optimism when he went to audition for a new boyband Louis Walsh was managing.
The couple have never hidden their relationship from the press and Westlife fans. Long before Nicky became a household name along with the rest of Westlife, Shane Filan, Mark Feehily, Kian Egan and Bryan McFadden, Georgina was already well known as the eldest daughter of Ireland's youngest Prime Minister.
In 2001, the couple bought their first house together, a four-bedroom outside Dublin. An interview with Hello! Magazine revealed that they were still confident about getting married but would not get engaged until Nicky's schedule calmed down and Georgina's studies were done.
The long-awaited proposal happened on Christmas Day 2003, after eight years of being together. Nicky had been planning the proposal months before. He had bought the teardrop-shaped diamond ring he promised her before the band even started. Despite that he waited until Christmas Eve to ask Bertie and Miriam, Georgina's parents, for her hand in marriage.
On Christmas morning, Nicky gave Georgina a Labrador puppy, much to her surprise, as she is scared of dogs. In her own words, Georgina recalled the precious moment: "The last thing I was expecting was to get a dog from Nicky! I'm afraid of dogs and he's always known that. While I was recovering from the shock he said, 'Okay, we have the house, we have our dog, but there's still something that's not quite complete,' and with that he did the whole romantic thing and got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. It was the happiest moment of my life. I'd always hopped he wouldn't do it in front of a whole lot of friends, so for me it was just perfect."
The couple immediately planned a summer wedding and chose Chateau D'Esclimont in Gallardon, France as the venue for their big day. However, they had to register their marriage legally in Ireland before the church ceremony and celebration in France. They planned to do it in London, but decided to do it in their home country instead, opting for county Wicklow on August 5, 2003. The couple arrived along with their mothers, Yvonne Byrne and Miriam Ahern, wearing very casual clothes, Nicky in t-shirt and baseball cap and Georgina in jeans and oriental top. Both Nicky and Georgina didn't consider themselves married until the church ceremony.
On Saturday, August 9, 2003, Nicholas Bernard James Adam Byrne fulfilled his words to his mum and married Georgina Ahern after nine years of strong relationship.
The ceremony was recorded in photography by UK's Hello! Magazine. The colour theme was crËme, lilac and purple. The glowing bride was wearing a beautiful white hourglass strapless dress with heart-shaped neckline, 20,000 crystal beads sewn diagonally and six-foot long train designed especially for her by Synan O'Mahony. Her hair was made to be wavy and little flowers doted at the top. Completing the look was a diamond cross necklace and a bouquet of fresh elegant cream roses. Nicky matched Georgina's look with a cream bootlegged "contemporary retro" suit, designed by Donald Brennan and Niall Tyrell. The grooms men, Nicky called them his "bestest men" and his best man, brother Adam Byrne were wearing dark purple mohair suits with cream roses and purple violets on their buttonholes. While the bridesmaids and maid of honour, Georgina's sister Cecelia Ahern, were wearing "lavender silk-crepe corsets and skirts, overlaid with French lilac Chantilly lace."

The precious day was celebrated with close family and friends, but to Nicky and Georgina, the day was just about them, celebrating a love that has gone through the test of time, crushed dreams, and fame amongst the usual hurdles of relationships. To the public eyes, the couple is a proof that love withstands, that dreams do come true, and that beautiful fairytales do exist.
Gina gave birth to fraternal twin sons, Jay and Rocco, on 20 April 2007, almost eight weeks prematurely. The children were christened on 15 July 2007 in the Saint Sylvester Roman Catholic Church in MalahideCounty Dublin. Godparents for the children are Nicky's sister Gillian Byrne and her husband Mark Gallagher and Georgina's sister Cecelia Ahern and Nicky's brother Adam McGarry Byrne.
