Katherine has a great page all about Irish weddings here.

If you are Irish and getting married in Ireland you usually have a religious ceremony in a church.
If you are from outside Ireland and wish to get married then you’ll need to read the information Katherine has put on that link I posted.
If you are just interested in some Irish traditions, well, hopefully Katherine will have a few for you. Or you can try a few books: this one or this one

Or web sites:
