I was in the delightful Gregans Castle in Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare in December for a wedding. It’s a small venue, but very warm and cosy it’s got a gorgeous setting. Clare was in the middle of the flooding back then and it was a hairy drive at times, but I got there and had a great laugh with the guests.

Many couples getting in touch with me are clearly using a specially created email account for all their wedding correspondence. Unfortunately many are using Hotmail accounts. Practically all Hotmail accounts I’ve ever gotten emails from have been hacked.
So my advice if you’re setting up a special email account for your wedding planning is:
It’s worth paying attention to this right at the start. It’s much easier than having to tell your friends and contacts that you are not actually in the business of selling cheap electronics from China!
Here’s some drawings from a recent wedding in Carrickmacross.
Another wedding, this time in the secluded confines of Kilkea. I did a lot of driving that day (and cussing too, truth be told- Kilkenny City has an aversion to decent road signage for some reason) but I arrived and met the wedding band as they were setting up. I thought I recognised the singer, and sure enough I did- having entertained his wedding guests in Sligo in January!
And another one from a few weeks ago in the Glencarn Hotel, Castleblaney, Co. Monaghan. There’s a part of that journey coming up from Galway where you’re as well following the birds as the signposts. Still, with my unwaivering sense of direction, apart from the odd time when I get lost, I managed to get to yet another wedding and give a few laughs to aid the digestion.
