Winter Weddings @ Kenmare Bay Hotel

Award Winning Kenmare Bay Hotel

Award Winning Kenmare Bay Hotel

Winter weddings are becoming more and more popular. The weather’s so unreliable in this country that you might as well pick a winter date – at least you’ll have a fair idea of what the temperature will be like and if it doesn’t rain it’s a bonus! Having said that though, we do get some lovely winter days – perfectly still with crisp, blue skies – great for photos. The other good thing about winter weddings from your guests’ point of view, is that the accommodation rates in hotels tend to be quite a bit lower than during the summer months. It all helps in this current economic climate!

If you are thinking of a winter date, there are some great offers out there at the moment. The award-winning Kenmare Bay Hotel & Resort has a particularly nice offer. They will give you a gift of €1,000 plus 5 complimentary rooms for a wedding on selected dates in December 2010, January & February 2011. December weddings are lovely – and there’s still plenty of time to organise a wedding before the end of the year. Once you have the church and your venue booked, the next most important things are probably your wedding dress, a photographer and a good band.
Everything else can easily be arranged at short notice, providing you are organised and have a bit of help – it’s easy! The Kenmare Bay Hotel is also offering the following for any wedding booked in 2010 or 2011; sparkling wine & canapés for your guests’ arrival; no surcharge for a choice of starter, main or dessert medley; 50% discount on their listed wines. Amazingly, these offers can also be used in conjunction with the above winter wedding offer.

There are a couple of terms & conditions that apply to the winter offer, so it’s best to check out their website on www.kenmarebayhotel.com – but really there’s no catch, it’s simply a great offer!

If you would like to view the Kenmare Bay Hotel or just want to have a chat about your wedding requirements, contact Sue on 064 66 41300 or sue@kenmarebayhotel.com. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by how much they care about your wedding.

Linda was married to Hulk Hogan for longer than her new guy has been alive!

The 50-year-old has been going out with her toy boy for 2 years now and the couple are said to be planning to marry next summer on Linda’s yacht named Alimoney.

Charlie is a year younger than Linda and Hulk’s daughter, Brooke. Apparently he was first friends with the couple’s 20-year-old son, Nick.

Hulk is said to be ‘ecstatic’????!

We were away for the ‘Wedding of the Year’,  however we read today that the lovely couple are sending their thanks to a whole county, for making them feel so welcome… awwww.

Before returning from their honeymoon in Tanzania, the newlyweds penned a letter to personally thank “the people of Leitrim for making our wedding day so special for us, our families and our guests”.

The letter — seen by the Irish Independent — will be published this week in local newspapers.

It reads: “Dear Madam, We would like to take this opportunity to thank the people of Co Leitrim and in particular the town of Mohill, the community around Aughavas Church and all the staff at Lough Rynn Castle for making our wedding day so special for us, our families and our guests.

“It was truly a memorable few days for us in lovely Leitrim.”

A spokeswoman for the couple said their decision to write to the people of Leitrim was a reflection of how warmly they had been received.

Dubbed “The Wedding Of The Year”, more than 250 guests saw the couple become man and wife at St Joseph’s Church, Aughavas and attended a private reception later in Lough Rynn Castle Hotel, Mohill, on July 2.

Piers Morgan marries Celia Walden

Piers Morgan,  Celia Walden

Britains got Talent judge Piers Morgan (45) married Celia, (33), daughter of former Tory MP George Walden yesterday in St Mary’s Church in Swinbrook, Oxon.  The bride arrived wearing a handmade daisy-chain headband and white dress.

Piers fellow judges Amanda Holden and Simon Cowel were noticably absent.  Although Amanda has been twittering that day asking her followers what gift she should get them.

Check out Piers other wedding pics, to none other than Ms Paris Hilton in 2009.  This ‘wedding’ happened two weeks after Piers proposed to Celia.

Mr Morgan, 45, joked of his ‘Sin City’ wedding: ‘You know what it’s like – you have a few drinks, spend too long on the blackjack table, get over-excited and decide to do something silly.

‘I have to say, Paris scrubbed up to be a beautiful bride. It was magical.’

However, given The Mail on Sunday columnist’s reputation for self-promotion, it will come as little surprise to discover that the wedding was staged for his forthcoming ITV1 show.

nicoleandjoelNicole Richie has called off her wedding to Joel Madden, accoring to sources.

The pair, who have two children together, have fallen out over Madden’s hesitation to settle down, reports the Daily News.

“Their wedding is off for now,” said an insider.

“Nicole is upset that Joel seems more interested in being on the road with his buddies, boozing and hanging out in bars than he is in sharing family time in LA.”

The insider added: “It’s become a joke among Nicole’s family and friends how many times she’s planned and postponed the ceremony.”

The couple announced their engagement in February.
