This Valentine's Day, we're hearing from couples who met at one very well known Waterford nightclub.
The Bridge Hotel was one of the most popular venues for young people in the city, county and surrounding areas.
We hear from Kevin McCarthy who was the resident DJ at Xanadu nightclub at 'The Bridge' for over 10 years.
Martin and Maria McCabe met on New Years of 1982 at Breens, and John O'Mahony met Suzanne McDonald at the Bridge Hotel in 1993.
