Bride Nicola recalls special memories from her stunning wedding to groom Patrick Hand…

THE DATE

24th October 2015

THE LOCATION

Curraheen Church, Tralee

THE DRESS

After visiting a few shops in Cork & Limerick I finally chose my dress in Finesse Listowel with the help of my mother Sandra and my little girl Ava.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER

Tara O’Donoghue Photography Tara & Dave were our photographers on the day and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough

THE RECEPTION

Ballyseede Castle Hotel, Tralee

HIGHLIGHTS

The highlight of my day was finally reaching my groom’s side at the alter. After all the excitement, anticipation, nerves and butterflies it was a welcome relief to finally get to reach Patrick, hold his hand and become husband & wife. With him by my side I was finally able to relax, settle in and enjoy our special day together.

FUNNIEST MOMENT

My brother Michael is a racehorse trainer based in the Curragh and he was whisked away by helicopter from the Church, having seen us be pronounced husband & wife but before the end of the mass, to Leopardstown racecourse where he went on to win his first Group 3 race for owner Sheikh Althani.

ADVICE FOR BRIDES TO BE

My advice would be if you have your heart set on a specific band, venue, photographer etc. book your date with them as soon as you can to avoid disappointment, once all the big things are booked you can sit back and enjoy putting your special little touches on your big day
