What a crazy, cool weekend celebrating Barney and Sinead's wedding 'under the big top', somewhere in the countryside just outside of Dublin. Having made it across the water we disembarked the Irish Ferry and drove off in search of somewhere to park up for a quick snooze, to recharge, before the party began.
After an hours snooze in the back of the van, we brewed up some strong coffee and had a bit to eat. I was feeling knocked for six at this point and was experiencing a sevre engery crisis! Luckily, the food and drink soon sank in, the shakes eased off and before too long we felt ready to party...
All we needed was a quick change in a remote country layby and it felt like a whole new day was about to start!...
All dressed up, we made it to the venue right on time...
The celebrations were all afternoon and into the evening, with plenty of garden games to keep us entertained..
The 'garden' was like a festival site, with plenty of places to sit and chat with some friends who we hadn't see in years as well as meeting plenty of new folk.
The wedding cake was a work of art - and delicious!
As with any good wedding, the speeches were a highlight - especially the groom's, which was delivered in a packed out Big-Top, through the medium of song, with everyone getting a personal 'shout out' and the whole crowd joining in with the chorus! Quality!
All in all a brilliant celebration and great to catch up. Even got to sample a bit of Guiness too!
And we're alway keen for a bit of dancing!..
Eventually, we could dance no more, so left the die hards singing around one of the (many) campfires (good job too as they were there until 5:30am!), and strolled over the road to our luxury van accommodation for a blissful sleep. What a party! Congrats Barney & Sinead!
