My Wedding Photos... AT LAST!!

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

My God-Daughter Erica was one of our flower girls, she looks so adorable here, I was up until 3AM the night before the wedding crocheting the cape 

Here is my little sister Shauna, who was a real little maid of honor to me, she came to every dress fitting we me and never complained even though she is an eternal tom-boy!

My other God Daughter Niamh looking so cute!, they came over from Manchester for the day

Morgans two sisters Maria(above) and Genny(below)were also my bridesmaids, I made the capes in a beautiful mohair yarn

  4. Congratulations! 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. :-)

  5. I 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

    Great blog!

  6. 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!
    This 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.
