RTE star Laura Fox’s grandmother “keeps her grounded” and “doesn’t hold back” with her opinions on the radio star’s possible wedding dress.
The Galway woman announced her engagement to her long-time beau Brian Moran last August.

Laura and her fiancé, who have been together for almost a decade, have decided to exchange their vows in Italy next year.
The 2FM host has been busy planning the big day and told The Irish Sun: “The wedding’s all booked. It’s all done, it’s all good to go.
“But it’s not until August next year.”
Laura went wedding dress shopping at Verona Bridal in Belfast last month and made sure to get her grandmother Nono’s honest opinion on the gowns.
The 34-year-old revealed: “She’s a massive supporter. She’s incredibly proud but she’s not afraid to tell me when I’m wrong.
“She does a debrief all the time. Even when I was going out to Dancing With The Stars last week, she debriefed my outfit for that the following day. And she won’t hold back.
“If she doesn’t like something, she will let me know about it. Even trying on wedding dresses last week, I’d send her some options of things I knew that I was never going to pick.
“I nearly sent it as rage bait to see what her reaction was going to be.
“And she called me 30 seconds later [saying], ‘What were you thinking in that thing?’, which is exactly what I need around me.
“My mum is the same. I just know that they’ll always keep me nice and grounded, and I’ll never get a notion about myself because it won’t happen.”
And it looks like there’s no chance of Laura turning into a bridezilla anytime soon.
Speaking about her wedding dress shopping experience, she said: “I loved it. I loved every single second. But I’m in no rush. I think that plays a big part of it.
“I can understand how it would be stressful for someone if you were up against a deadline of trying to get a lead time and ordering it in because you add wedding in front of everything and suddenly, there’s a lot of zeros and there’s about six months of lead time.
“But I think for me, because we’ve got time, I have a fairly good idea of exactly what I want. So going in, I was like, ‘This is so much fun’.
“And I’ll make an event out of anything. So we went for brunch beforehand. They give you a champagne when you walk in the door. I was like, ‘I’ll stay here all day’.”
The popular presenter has been on the hunt to buy a house with her fiancé for quite some time and has described the process as “bleak”.
She said: “It’s bleak at the minute. But it’s fine. Look, we’re in the same position as absolutely everybody else. And I just think we can’t dwell on what we don’t have.
“I like where we’re living right now, I like where we’re renting. We’ve been there for the last four years. We’re constantly on the lookout for something in our price range.
“If it comes up, it comes up. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t.”
Laura has been announced as the host of the Platinum VIP Style Awards 2025.
The 34-year-old will be welcoming the most fashionable celebs on what will be the awards’ 22nd birthday, on May 23 at the lavish InterContinental Hotel, Dublin.
