This is the best summary I could come up with:
Legend has it, she had an arranged marriage gone wrong, a frozen man to deal with and ended up as an agony aunt.
Brecon girl Dwynwen, one of 36 daughters of an Irish king, fell in love with Maelon Dyfodrull from north Wales.
Dwynwen settled down after all that drama (worse than Love Island) in a convent in Anglesey, Llanddwyn church.
Just to finish Dwynwen’s weird fortune in love, according to folklore, a sacred fish swam by the church, predicting the future relationships of couples with its movements.
And many people still visit the scenic Llanddwyn church, as part of the Anglesey Coastal Path.
Mr Browne, 34, added that he hopes to celebrate St Dwynwen’s day with his wife and visit the church again.
