A few wedding & honeymoon pics

**MacSimoin** · 17th October 06, 08:10 AM

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...

Happy together (we love the song)...

Huge Celtic cross (about 10 ft. high)...

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...

Great pix MacSimoin. I am happy for you and hope that you get to travel back there soon. What as the weather like for this time of year?

I checked the forecast a few days before leaving and we expected showers all week long...however, things cleared the morning we arrived and we had beautiful weather almost the entire time.
