The sleepy town of Miltown Malbay came alive with stars and fancy cars last Friday, 21st of August. Andrea Corr and Brett Desmond chose Doonbeg Golf Resort to have their reception following a ceremony at St. Josephs Church, Miltown Malbay.
Doonbeg Golf Resort
The bride who was 25 minutes late to a ceremony set to start at 2:30pm (not too bad), wed Brett Desmond who proposed in Barbados with a 70k rock of an engagement ring.
Some critical eyes looked over the pictures on Saturday morning, suggesting the hair-styles were less than fab, and we’d kind of agree. Andrea has somewhat of a birds nest on top of her head, and the shoes, we have to mention the shoes. Did she get them in Barratts closing-down sale?
Some highlights of the wedding:
- The groom is well loaded.
- The bride had some difficulty getting out of the car at the church (dress related).
- Bono arrived in his Maserati with wife Ali. Bystanders mistook the passengers thinking it was the bride.
- The church was decked out in while/lilac flowers costing thousands of euro.
- She had four bridesmaids, two of which were her sisters.
- All the celeb guests took time out to talk to the crowd outside after the ceremony, including the bride and groom who thanked the locals for their congratulations. When we say all, we exclude Bono, he headed to his flashy car with haste and ignored requests for autographs from admiring fans.
- Once the guests had left to head to the reception, locals appeared to loot anything that was left in the church, be that a mass booklet, or sprig of delphinium.
- Two marquees were erected on the grounds of Doonbeg Golf resort to accommodate what we are sure was an extravagant reception.
- Members of Doonbeg Golf Club who reportedly pay €55,000 per year for membership were duly sent a letter last week asking them to stay away. ‘Please respect the private function’ were the words used on the letter which had greatly annoyed some members.
