From Cork to Rosscarbery

For anyone with a bit of extra time on their hands returning to the city on the Sunday after the wedding, I definitely advise taking the back road via Kinsale. For those of you who don't know it there are some stunning views (much better than this shot shows)

The road also provides some good driving with lots of long sweeping bends like this one...

Note the looming black clouds - par for the course, sadly

As you leave Clonakilty you will be turning right onto the R600, and after 35 minutes or so you can reward yourself with a cold drink in Kinsale.

Top table introductions

Not everyone will know everyone else on October 4th, of course. But by way of introduction I thought we'd introduce some of the top table for those of you who need it.

The parents have already been introduced here, so we'll look at some of the other main protagonists.

The bride's side:

Joy, the Maid of Honour. Joy is the second of the three O'Sullivan girls.

Carol (left) is the baby of the O'Sullivan house and Kat is Paul's only sibling.
Seen here pre-dress fitting!

The groom's side:

Best men 1 and 2, Benny and Gearoid, enjoy the views at the Alex in Clapham...

... and the third protagonist, Dave!

The Stag (part 1)

Just recovered from a magic weekend in Berlin. Not going into any details but here is a photo showing what a civil weekend it was.

On the roll of honour: John, Dave, Benny, Gearoid, Cian, Murph, Rich, Gaz, Tim, Phil, Bubbles, Omar, Aidan, Niall and Will.
It's the girls turn next!

Wedding stationery

For anyone getting married and looking for invitations I would highly recommend checking out Debbie Jenkins website. Debbie runs a hand-made invitations business from her home in Wales and the final product is excellent. See for yourself...Debbie and her team are a pleasure to deal with and Lynne and I would like to say thanks for a job well done.

Hotel rooms

Hi all,

Most of you will now have received your invites and may be wondering about booking your accommodation for the night.

One of the rooms at the Celtic Ross

At present I have the rooms block-booked so please contact me to confirm your room. I'll deal with the hotel. Otherwise you can wait for about another week, when I will be releasing any unreserved rooms. At that point you can contact the hotel direct.
Thanks.
