So here they are finally..... My Wedding photos, well a small selection anyway!For anyone that did not know we won a free Wedding in the beautiful Clayton Hotel in Galway. Morgan entered a competition being held by Galway bay FM (our local radio). The public were asked to write the story of their relationship, proposal etc in 300 words or less. Morgan created a hand illustrated and written book on brown recycled paper and thank God it was chosen as the winner. This honestly was a dream come true, as we really couldn’t afford a wedding, and desperately wanted to get married. We were Married on 17th Oct 2009

Oh Neen, they are gorgeous, I love them. You look so beautiful and happy, and you and Morg make a wonderful couple. :) xxx
ReplyDeleteYour wedding was beautiful (as were you and your wedding party)!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED the handmade touches!
Beatiful pics Neen, you were absolutely drop-dead gorgeouse. And what a great photographer! Ofcourse when the objects photographed are so pretty, it makes the job easier :P
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! The wedding photos are beautiful and I am just admiring the fact that you had/took the time to crochet so many wonderful things. It was a very nice touch and I'm sure that the guests and wedding party were very appreciative. :-)
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention that I found your blog through a new follower of mine. When I saw your wedding pictures I said to myself "Hey, she looks familiar!" Then I remembered seeing one of the photos in Ravelry. Small world. LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat blog!
I have been in your blog (backwards) for a lot of time today. And when I read this post I could not NOT write to you!
ReplyDeleteThis is so kind, so kind, to visit the old people in your work in your wedding gown and make them part of the celebration!
I like the way you and your husband love each other and I wish every happiness to both of you :)
About me: I like knitting too-that is how I "fall" in your blog, I have read every Maeve Binchy printed-and loads of other books, and my work is an important part of my life.
Neen,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for your marriage. I wish you and your husband to have all the love, in yours' family.
I also wish to say to you how much I appreciate your respectfulness and kindness to the elders.
Respect and kindness makes the lives of all of us, so much richer!
Hello everyone- thank you for the kind comments xx
