VIDEO: Irish Couple’s Hilarious Wedding Reception Surprise for Guests

This might be the best start to married life we've seen.

They say a day without laughter is a day wasted, so we suspect these newlyweds will never waste a single day of their lives together. 

Meet Shelly McDonagh and Jonny Rowland, who tied the knot last weekend at Broadhaven Bay Hotel, Belmullet, Co. Mayo.

We see a lot of wedding videos around these parts, but we have to admit this is one reception we’d love to have attended.

Taking inspiration from Ant and Dec’s Red or Black gameshow, the couple spent one hilarious evening in the lead-up to the wedding filming a series of challenges.

On the big day, the resulting video was shown to guests, after they were asked to predict round by round who would win… Red or Black?

Tables were eliminated round by round based on their guesses, with the last table standing winning a very generous round to keep the party going.

Videographer Mike Gallagher tells us that the couple was great fun to work with, and saw NONE of the footage before their wedding reception.

May their married lives be as full of laughter as their engagement so clearly was. Congrats guys!
