Maire + Diarmuid | Wedding in Ireland

Well were to begin with this one. I first “met” Maire through facebook to enquire about a wedding in Spain which for various reasons did not happen, to cut a long story short Maire was really keen to have me document her day in Ireland and whilst I think some of her friends thought she was slightly mad getting a photographer from Spain after some encouragement from Mum the date was free and off I went to SUNNY Ireland. I was really lucky to have met Maire and her rock star groom Diarmuid when I was in Ireland in April at another wedding. I arrived in Gorey on the Friday and was met with lots of smiling faces and the normal wedding eve organised chaos. Maire and Diarmuid choose to hand-make all of the table decorations so it was an amusing site to see Diarmuid looking more like he was in the middle of an arts and crafts class than about to go to his wedding rehearsal. Before we headed off to the rehearsal at the Pugin designed church of St Michael´s I had one of those rather bizarre experiences, whilst chatting in the kitchen to Maria I mentioned I lived near Marbella to which she replied ” Oh I don´t suppose you know a Deidre O´Regan” !!!!!!! Dee´s first cousin no less, what are the chances. Anyway enough trivia, after the rehearsal we headed off to a local pub and discuss the following days events whilst of course sampling a Guinness. The wedding day started at Maire and Diarmuid´s house on the edge of town and then a short drive to the church in the super cool VW camper. Diarmuid being a musician himself there was no shortage of musical talent in the church and not to mention the videographer who not only operated 2 cameras but played in the church! We made our way back to the Riverside hotel via the local pub where Maire and Diarmuid met and as you do we all enjoyed a game of pool then an evening full of great speeches and more great music, what a weekend, exhausted just writing about it, thanks again guys and hope you enjoy a few faves and to view the slideshow Click Here
