Domhnall and Gill get hitched

Dah dum de dum…. dah dum de deee.. What a lovely day. Domhnall and Gill hired out The Cascades Colonial, a stunning venue out on the Tasman Peninsula. The day was blue skies (most of the Irish had t-shirts on their heads to ward off the Ozzie sun (which is quite a hot sun)).

Glynn & Jayne and Isla were over… and great to see them. Mick and Tall Neil (not that he’d be called that in The Netherlands), Carole & Andrew & Eoin.. it was quite the crowd from Ireland really – as well of course as lots and lots of family and friends.

The ceremony was simple and the bride simply stunning… the didgeridoo was played as Cormac (Domhnall & Gills son) brought the rings up to the alterythingy (a bicycle & double kayak).

Heard some very interesting stories at the speeches.. won’t say much.. but Gill was (is?) banned from national parks in Australia… fantastic… I mean really.. should finished bush fires get in the way of a good 5 day tramp? I think not. And so does Gill apparently.

An eve of merriment, excellent food, live ceili band, more merriment, playing the dig round a fire… all in all it was wonderful. There were tears (mostly Domhnalls, but he’s a total softie ;), much laughter, and yup, it was great. Pictures here and here

Well, congratulations to Domhnall and Gill – and thanks for the awesome party.
