KIM COPELAND AND MARTIN BRADLEY were married at the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Carryduff, Co Down by Fr Sean McCartney. Their reception for 190 guests was held in the Burrendale Country Club in Newcastle after a stop in Castlewellan Forest Park for photographs.
Kim is the youngest daughter of Edward and Janette Copeland of Carryduff. She works as a nursery assistant at St Ita’s nursery school in Belfast and is in the process of completing a degree in early education. Martin is one of five children in the Bradley household, and graduated from the University of Ulster in software engineering. He has worked for the telecoms company Aepona for four years. The couple met in The Parlour, a student bar in Belfast, in 2001. Since then, they moved from Belfast to Dublin where Martin was on a placement as a part of his degree, and they are now living in Carryduff with Kim’s parents, while building a home for themselves in Draperstown, Co Derry. After the wedding they spent a week skiing in the Canadian resort of Banff, followed by a week in Las Vegas.
