There were many magical moments during the day: visiting Claire’s
school in Rusheen where she teaches, crossing the county bounds where
Cork and Kerry flags were flying high, and then onto the beautiful
Muckross House and gardens.
There was great fun with Mercier Vintage, who ensured the bride and
groom travelled to Killarney in style in their vintage Volkswagen bus,
and there was endless fun and music on the journey back. There was

Claire recalled: “The visit to the children in the school after the
church was something truly memorable and we’ll remember it forever.
They were lined up along the school fence dressed in Cork and Kerry
jerseys (mainly Cork ) and they had made a ‘Just Married’ banner.”
The bride’s three musical cousins, Ellen, Eugenie and Patrick, provided
Irish traditional music for the drinks reception, while No Strings
Attached provided an amazing evening of singing and dancing. Their
first dance was to Pointless by Lewis Capaldi.
