A few wedding & honeymoon pics

[MacSimoin]

We're back from Ireland, where we had a grand time on our honeymoon. I don't have many good wedding photos to share just yet (proofs won't be ready until next week), but Macsim has put together a very nice photo show here if you'd like to see more of the shots he took before and after the wedding (great pics, Mark!).

Three of the first four pics were taken by my father-in-law (sorry, not the best-looking shots). I'll post more when we get our photos/album from the photographer.

It's good to be back...but we're missing the Auld Sod already.

Rehearsal dinner (Macsim on front left, I'm in the back)...



Attack of the killer bubbles...



Can we go now?



Josh (sporting a County Cavan tartan necktie) and Chandra (Wendi's younger brother and sister), outside the country club...



EDIT: Keep looking through the thread...I've added eight more pics (on page 4).

Welcome home! Can't wait to see the rest of the pics, especially the ones where we did the "raised leg pose" on the bench!

And here's a few honeymoon pics:

Wendi took this one from her window seat as we flew into Ireland (County Clare)...



Where we spent the first two days/nights; Wendi got lost one day (looking for ice) and had flashbacks of the Overlook Hotel in "The Shining" (this place is big)...



Bunratty Castle...



No, it's not Hawaii, but those are palms...

More honeymoon pics:

Ready to go out to dinner, where some young female Russian tourist kept trying to sneak shots of me in my kilt, much to the annoyance of the other restaurant patrons (the camera flash was on)...



Wendi out shopping the next day...



Monastery ruins...



Inside, looking up...

Yes, the Irish can poke fun at themselves...



On the N55 to Cavan...



Top petrol stations are everywhere...



Typical roadside view...

More pics:

Wendi outside the Riverside Farmhouse in Cootehill (Co. Cavan), where we spent three days...



The owner's dog "Lassie" having a lie down in the shade (our room is just above on the 2nd floor, where the open window is)...



Bridge crossing the Annalee River (the owners of the farmhouse, Joe and Una Smith, don't even know how old it is)...



Cootehill...

More pics:

Cathedral of Sts. Patrick and Felim (this church is huge: the cross at the top is about 12 ft. high)...



Inside the cathedral (me in the background)...



Irish Republican Army memorial, outside the County Cavan Courthouse...



Close-up of a water spout on one of the fountains in Cavan town...

These are just beautiful. I gotta go!!!
Thanks for posting. I think that roadside view will be my new wallpaper on my computer!
