I’m hitting a wall. Not the Wailing Wall, but the Wedding Wall.

There was the other half and his sister in the kitchen coming up with suggestions about places to go in the event of us having hotel hiccups. (Thankfully the hotel called me today and were trying to put me at ease regarding their sudden event booking  management change).  And to be honest I was quite annoyed that after working 9 hours they felt like telling me this inane diatribe when all I wanted was to switch my brain off. I was also annoyed because I felt like i didn’t have the energy to rebuttal and say – hey, well if it’s such a great idea folks why don’t you run with it and tell me your findings.. instead I reached for the wine. Just the one glass mind you. If I’m drinking at the rate I hit problems I’ll be in Betty Ford by the vows .

I did have a moment today where I nearly cried out of frustration. I had to give another invite to another family member, who due to medical issues, has a certain dietary need which can’t be helped. It was at the moment when I said to  myself why didn’t we elope…. we still can!

It was also explaining why we don’t want kids at our day. It was explaining this and that and the other, and taking advice on things when I never asked for advice, albeit it was given with good intentions, I just sat and nodded and answered and nodded some more.

Lord I wish we stuck to our guns and did a small wedding – your probably going to laugh when I say I’ve 110 people and I think that’s a big number, seeing as we originally wanted 80!

Am I having a wedding by group consensus?

RealWedding Giving Back (GB) Campaign Launches

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

RealWeddings.ie launches their ‘Giving Back’ campaign.

Since last Monday RealWeddings.ie is not charging for advertising in the traditional sense.  They’re taking a new approach and only asking wedding suppliers to pay what they can at this moment and time.  On top of that, a percent of the amount paid will go directly to animal welfare charities and rescues in Ireland.

Our goal is to assist rescues through Ireland, with even small things such as vaccinations, food, money towards vet bills etc.

‘’We’ve really seen a crisis unfold before our eyes.   Daily we see dogs being surrendered to pounds, as a lot of the no-kill rescues are full.  Unfortunately these guys only have 24 hours before they are put to sleep.   With more funding, the no-kill policy rescues can save more. 

Feeling very helpless one evening after hearing more bad news, I decided that we had to do something via RealWeddings.ie.  I chatted it over with the others involved and we all agreed that we should try and make a difference.   We hope it will work for everyone.   Most families have a pet in the house, and we’ll be putting a lot of effort in to promoting our suppliers that support this, along with the various charities and rescues.   We’ll be urging couples to book their suppliers through us and in turn they will be helping in that way..’’ Fiona Fagan – Editor RealWeddings.ie

As a bride or groom to be, we’re asking you to support our campaign by checking with our suppliers listed on RealWeddings.ie to check their availability for your big day, as without their support on this campaign it would not be possible.

We also hope to introduce ways in which you can help even more over the coming months.  So stay tuned.

Thank you!

Carlton Castletroy Park launches Moposa – an exciting new online wedding technology

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

Carlton Castletroy Park Hotel ****

 

We have been 20 Years planning your wedding………..

 

One of Limerick’s leading Hotels, The Carlton Castletroy Park Hotel is taking the lead in the information age by being one of the first Hotels in Limerick to launch an on-line wedding service.

 

The four star Carlton Castletroy Park is delighted to be launching an exciting new online wedding technology called Moposa which enables couples to create a unique wedding experience for themselves and their guests and can save couples up to €700 from the outset. The award winning Moposa software is being offered by the hotel free of charge.

“ It helps couples share more of the experience with friends and family, simplify the wedding planning process and saves time and money along the way” says Nicola Fagan, the Hotels Wedding co-ordinator.

“The objective of Moposa is to take the stress and strain off managing a wedding so couples can focus on enjoying every moment of the experience” explains Nicola. They can use an online seating planner to drag ‘n’ drop their guests onto seating plans that are specific to our venue.  In addition to this, the online service assists with everything from the invitation lists, gift lists, budgets, music and schedules.

Couples receive their own personal ‘.com’ wedding website to enable them to share more of their wedding with friends and family. Guests can also RSVP online, book a hotel room, check out weather forecasts and even get automated, personalised driving directions to the ceremony and reception.

We all love photos and Moposa allows guests to upload their photos and videos after the wedding so that the couple can view the many different pics taken from early on the day to early in the morning !!. Another fantastic tool is Guestxt where couples may send free text messages to any or all of the guests and can use this to plan and organise a hen party or just to thank everyone for their presents the day after the wedding.

 

The Carlton Castletroy Park Hotel will get you to the church on time !!!!!

 

Moposa will be a huge benefit to couples booking their weddings and to celebrate the launch of this exciting new software the Carlton Castletroy Park Hotel is offering a complimentary wedding car  service on their wedding day to all couples booking their wedding from now until December 31st 2011 !!!!!!!!!

This was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters.

It is a painful time for all involved and we appreciate the respect of our privacy at this time.




How to look devastated on your wedding day – Princess Charlene’s Wedding Photos

Sunday, July 3rd, 2011

Princess Charlene at times looked like she was pondering what had just happened in all of the wedding snaps of her big day.   Although, as reported she was trying to flee back to her home in South Africa just days before the wedding, so what did we expect.

Even the dress didn’t cut it (IMHO).
