Adeline travelled to the registry With her mother, father and sister, Tania, while Paula made her way with her brother-in-law Brendan and sister Tina. After the ceremony, the pair were driven by Larry from the Dromhall who kindly offered some great marriage advice and, being the gentleman he is, he shielded them from the rain with umbrellas. Before the newlyweds descended upon the celebrations they went for a ride on a horse and trap around Killarney National Park with a bottle of champagne.

“We cannot say enough good things about Tara and Dave. From the first meeting, it was all systems go and nothing was too much. When we said we wanted something different they didn’t hesitate to make it happen and organised for us to paintball and zipwire in our dresses in Killarney High Ropes. It never stopped raining the morning of the wedding and they got totally soaked but said nothing and when the sun came out for five minutes they whisked us away for more pictures. They kept the day rolling with great fun and smiles and we would do it all over again just to get some more shots with them.”
