One year ago we were in Ireland celebrating the wedding of Kristina and John. I still feel incredibly lucky to have been apart of such a magical wedding trip. I have to say “wedding trip” instead of “wedding day”, because the hospitality of the John’s Irish family lasted days. From the wedding Rehearsal Dinner at John’s moms home where we were made to feel like family, to the day-after party into the wee hours at the Shibeen, the entire trip was incredible. I can’t believe it’s been already a year- it feels like we were there just weeks ago. The location they choose, the Ballybeg House in County Wicklow, was something out of a movie. A quaint white cottage, surrounded by rolling hills filled with white sheep and rustic rock walls gave the wedding truly Irish feel. We were spoiled and delighted to stay 3 nights out at Ballybeg house in the adorable little camping (glamping!) pods. The entire venue was just perfect- and they filled it with some of best people we could spend our time with. My family and I were so grateful to have had the opportunity to travel with the entire Scade family and create amazing memories around Kristina and John’s wedding. We will truly never forget our wonderful weeks exploring Ireland with you all. In fact, my daughter Maeve asks at least once a week to go back to Ireland, and has even told us that when she grows up she will be moving “back to Ireland”. She can’t help it, she fell in love with her heritage and felt truly at home.
Thank you Kristina and John, from the bottom of our hearts. Your wedding was magic. As they say at the Scade house- Good food, good friends and good drinks. Tim would also like to add that you really know how to throw a party. And a day after party. And every other day party. But even with all the gorgeous scenery and all the fancy food & Irish drinks, still nothing took away from the love you two share. Not only could everyone see how much you love share from the way you look at each other, but it’s obvious you’re best friends too. And that combo is a foundation of a marriage made to last.
Sláinte!
Kelsy
(and Tim, Maeve, & Violet)
