Muireann O'Connell never thought she would get married until her fiancé Philip Manzor, who she affectionately calls "the housemate," proposed to her three years ago.
The Ireland AM presenter hasn't made any wedding plans yet, and she joked that putting off the wedding is down to the fact they are both the youngest in their families.
She added that there is no decisiveness in their relationship and that doesn't always work.

Muireann said: "There's no plans. I've never planned a thing in my life.
"I wish I had a better answer for that but no, there's nothing planned. I never thought I'd get married. I don't see myself as a bride, I genuinely don't know why, but it's just something I never saw for myself. I'm sure we'll get around to it at some point."
She told the RTÉ Guide: "Were both the youngest siblings in our families and that's a disaster; you've got two people who never really had to make decisions in their lives.
"We're evidence that you need someone who has a bit of decisiveness in the relationship. The youngest in the family is pampered and things are decided for them, so putting two youngest together is a disaster."
Ireland AM celebrated 25 years on air during the summer and Muireann has followed in the footsteps of the likes of Sinead Desmond, Karen Koster, Claire Byrne, Maura Derrane and Amanda Byram to anchor the breakfast show. She now hosts alongside Tommy Bowe and Alan Hughes.
She said: "Life is multi-faceted and the great thing with Ireland AM is it's with people through everything, from the serious to the sublime. It's important to have something like that on TV.
"I know I'm working on it now but when I think of Ireland AM, I think of Mark Cagney and Alan and Amanda Byram or Claire Byrne. All the people that have been there before me.
"These people took on this show when it had never been done in Ireland before and now it's going 25 years and I think that's amazing. Not to sound glib, but it's a genuine privilege to be a part of it now and its history; I remember watching it before going to school."
