The Date

This is one of the hardest thing I have comeacross to date.

I have never really been a fan of summer weddings myself, as you are not gartintue a nice hot summers day. This June definitely proved my theory!


I know I am thinking, very very very very far ahead, I have picked the year, originally it was going to be 2012 after I finished college well actually scratch that, was thinking this summer for a brief second in time. I have picked 2013. I know very far off but their are realistic reasons for this.  The most important reason right now, is that at least their is a date. Also it gives us a fair amount of time to save up. 


Now some of you might be thinking, what the hell is she doing planing a wedding that's not going to happen for 2 years. Well the answer to this is, that time is really ageist us. I will only have 8 months out of the 18 months to plan. Why? college, when college starts well for me, everything else has to stop. I can't let myself get stressed about wedding stuff and college stuff at the same time. With next year being final year and being auditor I really have my hands full. 


I have thought long and hard about this. The time of year. Their are two times of year that I love, Spring and Autumn. I think its to do with the changes in nature, its just so beautiful. I decided to pick Autumn but a very specific time, when the leaves have just started to change colour.   




A little bit like this.

so just need to pin point the date, does anyone know when this happens?? 

The Church

Like I said my to-do list post, I was going to book a date next month.
As you know today is that last day of not having to think too hard about a date (not that I haven't)


On Monday, I had a conversation with my mother about the church, what seams very stupid now but makes scene (remember wedding virgin). Is that I have not seen the inside of the church, now I have seen pictures of the inside of the church but I need to see it with my own eyes.

This is the dream church, Its so different for Ireland to have a church like this. For those of you who know me. this is so me isn't it? I love this church so much. Since I first laid my eyes on this beauty I knew I wanted to get married here.  

As perfect as things may seam on the outside doesn't mean that they are perfect on the inside.

As you can see from these photos is that it is a bit dated, never thought I would say that about a church. 

I am back to the very start on this to an extent. At Christmas time, myself and my mother where talking about the wedding, and she suggested Kerry, more so as a joke than anything else. 

Why Kerry?

My mom is form Kerry, and I lived in Kerry form the age of 2-6. So it dose have a strong place in my heart. 

It doesn't look like much on the outside but its quite nice on the inside.

Their is just one tinny teeny problem with the whole thing.
The ceremony would in in Irish because this is in the Ghaeltacht (the Irish speaking part of Ireland). Not many of my friends are fluent in Irish and Paul's family are far from fluent. So their is the language gap which I have to some how figure out.  (But between you and me, I would love to have it in Kerry.)



As you can guess from the two churches, I am looking at a small wedding. mainly cause I cant think of 200 people and we both have small family's.
