They say to cherish your wedding day as it only comes around once, but that doesn't apply to Brian Dowling and Arthur Gourounlian, who have renewed their vows.

The couple, who are celebrating ten years of marriage, returned to their scenic wedding location, Powerscourt Estate in Enniskerry, Co Wicklow, to do it all over again.

Brian and Arthur were surrounded by their loved ones and famous friends, in particular, fellow podcaster Donal Skehan, who played a huge role in his pals' big day.

Brian and Arthur asked Donal to act as their celebrant on the day of their vow renewal, and he, very graciously, accepted their proposal.

Sharing snaps from the day, the TV chef wrote: 'Father Skehan in the house- Had the absolute pleasure of dusting off my celebrant robes to renew the vows of two of our closest friends the uber fabulous @bprdowling and @gourounlian yesterday to celebrate 10 years married!'

'Such a gorgeous day and great fun with my little goddaughter Blu and her big sis Blake,' Donal continued, before joking: 'The craic was had and watch out @gourounlian, Tati was telling me all the good stuff for the podcast!'

Ten years on, Brian and Arthur are still very much in love. In fact, the only difference between 2015 and 2025 is that they had two very special guests in attendance this time around, their daughters, Blake and Blu.

The kids, aged two and 14 months, looked so sweet in matching ivory flower girl style dresses.

Meanwhile, the grooms didn't scrub up too badly themselves. The fathers-of-two twinned in sleek black suits with large red flower brooches pinned onto their lapels.

Some of the grooms' closest family and friends got all dolled up to attend the vow renewal, including Brian's sister Aoife, best friend Pippa O'Connor, and the couple's close pals Donal and Laura Fox.

Arthur shared a snap of the family of four looking elegant as they got ready for the ceremony. 'I DO… AGAIN,' he captioned the post.
