THANKS TO ONE AND ALL FOR THE INCREDIBLE WEALTH OF INFORMATION YOU'VE
SHARED WITH US! NOW...WE'VE ESTABLISHED THE FOLLOWING:
CLADDAGH RING/WEDDING RING (I got my claddagh last Christmas)
BUNRATTY MEAD FOR THE TOAST (and fertility/virility)
FRUITCAKE LACED WITH POTEEN (soaked at least three months)
TRADITIONAL IRISH DINNER (we're going to convert this into a reception
using the traditional items you suggested)
PHOTOS OF THE ENTIRE CROWD AT THE WEDDING ( a GREAT idea!)
I ALSO READ THAT IT'S NOT A TRUE IRISH WEDDING UNLESS YOU HAVE A
HARP PLAYING - SO, THAT'S ON OUR LIST!
WHAT HAVE WE LEFT OUT?
Regards...Chris

Leaprechauns get married forever.
At my wedding (I was a very slim and fit individual back then).
The Priest officiating used the occassion to poke fun at my family
and my wife's family whom he knew very well. He used specially
selected readings to do this and it was the most entertaining
trick I've ever seen in a church.
(I have at my disposal the missal being used in the Irish church
for wedding ceremonies in the Roman Catholic church). It is an
8 page leaflet. If you send me your mailstop, and if there is still
10 days left, you'll have it in plenty of time.
I recommend one of the alternative readings on the back page as
possibly the best speech a best man could ever give afterwards.
(from the book of Ecclesiasticus [26:1-4.13-16]) It has a sting
in the tail.
Snake must sound like a Jesus-freak after that bit :-)
