This was a great wedding, I started in the Brides home, and I think the fun we had at Brides home helped with the nerves before the Church. The weather was not great but it did not dampen the spirits of the guests. The romance started when both of them worked in Super-value in Castlerea many years ago. I had Kevin Keegan driving my car to the Hotel, and to our surprise Sean Raftery had a bonfire outside his home. The rest of the day went very well, with Heebie Jeebies doing a great job.

We were out very early for this wedding both Maurice Sirr photographer and I. It was ten O’clock starting in the Grooms home, then back to Claire’s home. The wedding started at a sensible time of 12.30, to allow traveling time to Galway. We stopped on the way at the Bridge to take photos. The day went very well and the Claregalway Hotel took out all stops to look after everyone. I left after the speeches and Maurice did the rest. The day went very well, the couple were very nice.

I would like to wish Claire & Patrick a long and happy life together.
