Re: ---- Official Irish Bride Thread ----
I loved your review, I went over and over it! Your wedding was so beautiful. I would love to know of any litle details you might have forgotten to mention, feel free to FM anything you might think of. I am doing the penny in the shoe, Irish wedding song, seige of ennis, bagpipers at ceremony, can't think of anything else off the top of my head.
Overall, I wanted to have Irish touches at my wedding, but at the same time I did not want it to be over the top. All the green, the claddaghs, the shamrocks, etc. i did NOT want. They are a bit too stereotypical in my opinion and also a bit "loud" design wise... I tried to go for the simple elegance.
Some of the Irish touches I had at my wedding that I may or may not be in the review were this:
1) Mom gave me an Irish pence to wear in ym shoe.... i ended up not putting it in because I thought it would be uncomfortable, but the photographer got a shot of it and the card it came on.
2) My flower girl presented me with a horseshoe made out of Belleek china after I came back up the aisle... I was completely surprised... my cousin sent it from Ireland for me. It is supposed to be good luck to receive a horsehoe from a child on your wedding day.
3) Program: Trinity knot on cover
4) Invites: Celtic knot design on border
5) Unity Candle: candle had a celtic cross on it, Galway and Waterford crystal were the candle holders
6) Waterford toasting flutes
7) Irish pub/restaurant for rehearsal dinner
8) Irish band at reception
9) Bagpiper in and out of church and at reception(that is more an Irish-American tradition than an Irish tradition... you wouldn't see that at a wedding in Ireland)
11) Irish dancing at reception
12) Irish aires played on the flute as part of the prelude as people walked into Church
13) Presenting the flowers to the Blessed Mary at Church
14) The Child of Prague (Jesus) statue put in the front window of the house the night before... My mom did that. They say that the Child of Prague is supposed to bring good weather... .and he did! Well, as good as it can be for Febraury!
15) Shepherd's Pie as a hot dish at the cocktail hour... it was almost as good as Mom's! ;)
I think that's about it!!!!

Re: ---- Official Irish Bride Thread ----
*bump* b/c Irish Girls rock.
I'm a little Irish girl. My family is from the US but we're very connected to our Irish roots and traditions.
I'm marrying into a very Italian family so the wedding is going to be.... interesting to say the least.

Re: ---- Official Irish Bride Thread ----
I'm 50% Irish. I want my cousin to play the bag pipes outside of the church before we get married.

Re: ---- Official Irish Bride Thread ----
I'm Irish, but we are not doing an Irish themed wedding. We got a unity candle with the Irish Blessing on it from celticcandle.com.

Re: ---- Official Irish Bride Thread ----
Wow I didnt know this thread existed! Let me introduce myself...
I am 75% irish and FH is half. My great great grandparents are from Ireland and FH grandfather was born there. My family has basically stayed very much in touch with our irish roots and I plan to tie in some irish traditions into our wedding.
My uncle plays the pipes so he will be playing at the church and we will most likely have an irish blessing during the mass. We will also have Guinness at the reception and special ordred corned beef and cabbage for the CH.
We also found a bunch of stuff at Kathleen's of Donegal in RVC that we are going to buy for the wedding.
The thing I am most looking forward to is getting FH's Irish last name since mine is technically Welsh and does not sound Irish at all.

Re: ---- Official Irish Bride Thread ----
I'm indian and marrying and Irish man (born and bred in Ireland). We're doing just an indian wedding and reception, as he did not want to do to 2 weddings.
I do want to incorporate some Irish things in my wedding, such as the wedding favor or some food. Can anyone give me some suggestions on what I can do? About 80% of the people attending will be Indian.
Thanks!

Re: ---- Official Irish Bride Thread ----
Irish Bride here...woo woo.
I will have the Claddah Unity Candle's along with the Waterford Unity Set.
I am hiring a group of young Irish girls to play at my ceremony and cocktail hour.
I will be Irish Step Dancing along with my friends.
I also have Waterford Toasting Flutes, but I think I'm going to use the Galway Crystal ones.
That's about it. I'm not into turning my wedding into another St. Paddy's Day with shamrocks everywhere.
