A Limerick man who bought his wife a memory foam pillow and a car wash for Christmas has been crowned Ireland’s most unromantic man.

Gary Constable was selected from hundreds of other contestants after he was nominated by his wife, Katrena, as part of the competition organized by Cyprus Tourism Organisation in Ireland.

His wife revealed that Constable insisted on getting married at New York’s City Hall while the couple were on vacation in order to save money on an engagement, wedding, and honeymoon!

With family and friends missing from the impromptu wedding, they had to use two witnesses who could barely speak English.

When the bride asked if the newly married couple could celebrate their union back in Ireland, he said he would be too busy working.

As a small consolation for being married to Ireland’s most unromantic man, the pair won a week long luxury holiday to the sunny Mediterranean island of Cyprus.

The national competition was launched on St. Valentine’s Day and asked women in Ireland to nominate their men, explaining why they deserved the title.

Despite his alleged unromanticicsm, his missus is a fine-looking lass, so he must be doing something right. Perhaps the other suitor, the one with the red roses and the candlelit dinners, is currently at home watching TV by himself and eating his microwave dinner for one!
He gave her TWO presents for Christmas??He's spoiling her.He should have kept the car wash for her birthday.
leave it up to irish central to write another BS article just like the 99% of the others they write,pure claptrap BS
Did he buy the car wash for his wife or for her car?
It's not stated how long they've been together or when the wedding was, but what is clear is that she married the guy and is still with him. And she's not complaining that he's a brute or that he ignores her altogether. Counts for something.
I got a girl friend a toilet seat once.
A few years ago I got my wife a snow shovel for Christmas. She loved it.
Good man yerself, a plot in the grave yard is a good one to consider later on, but not too soon don't want to spoil her.
