Castle Wedding

Hi Team!




We are just back from a fantastic and some may say luxurious weekend at Dromoland Castle, Co. Clare. Our friends Izzat and Colette got married in a beautiful little church nearby and the rest of the event was held at Dromoland. The wedding was unreal, very traditional and romantic, over 170 people, 10 piece band and even fireworks by the lake! Colette looked just beautiful, and Izzat was smiling nervously beforehand! We (I) just wished we knew how to waltz!




Dromoland Castle was awesome, I think it dates back to the 1500s, with enormous grounds, lakes and a golf course that Neal tried his hand rather well at. Well he is actually lucky to have made it to the 18th - as they had to dodge the pheasant shooters on the way! Only 2000 euro to go hunting for the day! yikes!!




We stayed in a cool room in a tower - with a gnarly spiral staircase! All good in heels after a few wines! A real treat I must say! And my final words....."Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair..."

Hey you two!!!! Missing you in NZ... we have Ailsa and Ryan back causing chaos, just missing the bling fun now. Looks like it's been a while since you posted last... what you up to? All good here, living the good life in Raglan, it's still nice and roasty and warm here, but cooling off in the evenings (even have fire going now, but more for the atmosphere that anything - goes with the red wine!)
Matt (my bro) is in London now, don't know if he'll be your way but his blog is www.kiwihobbit.blogspot.com

sweet, keep having fun and look forward to hearing from you... and seeing you! soon

Castle Wedding looks outstanding. It was fun for me to host a funky themed bridal shower for my cousin! I hosted one of the best wedding venues NYC she is going to tie the knot on next weekend and it is truly going to be super enjoyable.
