I figured, I would start an 'Official Thread' too!! Fitting for St. Patrick's Day!

I'm 100% Irish, born in Ireland as well as my siblings and parents and moved to NY when I was 5 years old. I'm marrying an Irish American who is very in tune with his Irish roots.

We're having a wedding with about 300 ppl. and 90% of it will be Irish people even a good amount coming from the old country.

We're having Celtic Cross at our wedding, I'm sure as many of you know - they are a very well known Irish band.

As far as Irish traditions, I plan on having the penny in my shoe and a lot of Irish music to dance the night away to. I'm sure we'll incorporate our Irish culture and traditions more and more as we go ahead with our planning.

What are your plans?

I don't know how close anyone is to the Babylon/West Babylon area, but there is an adorable Irish store on Montauk Hwy (in the Kmart shopping center). They have the cutest garders with shamrocks on them. They also have head pieces that have celtic knots on them.... soooo pretty! Just thought I'd share.

Re: ---- Official Irish Bride Thread ----

I finally finished my ceremony music!!!! We are getting married in Ireland but are having many American people come over for the wedding so I wanted to make sure I incorporated songs from both backgrounds. Let me know what you think:

Processional:

For the family and Bridal Party: Jesu, Joy of Man's
Desiring

Bridal Entrance: Canon in D

Lighting of the candle: Ave Maria/ Amazing Grace

Psalm: Hiding Place

Alleluia: Sung

Candle Ceremony: Ubi Caritas or Veni Creator Spiritus

Offeratory: Bi a Iosa Im Chrios (The Body Of Christ)

Communion Rite: Ar nathair (The Our Father- in Gaelic, not sure though may do it in English)

Sign Of Peace: Make me a channel of your Peace

Communion: Panis Angelicus, Suantrai (acapella) Suabtrai is an absolutely perfect Irish Lullaby- goosebumps!

Reflection: She moved thru the fair (acapella- I think)

Final Hymn: may the loard our god bless you with love

Any other ideas!!!!

Did anyone find any nice claddagh garters. I am looking for a white satin garter with a little irish lace.

TIA

It's nice, it has some cute stuff in there. There's also one right down the road in Cold Spring Harbor as well.

What are you looking for in particular?

They do have unity candles and other wedding things, I haven't been in there in awhile though, probably since last year.

I'm also not sure how late they are open, they are called the Irish Alley, I'd call them and see!

You HAVE to check out
celticcandle.com

They have lots of celtic themed unity candles that are FAR nicer than any i've seen in the Irish import shops.

I got the celtic cross one and chellynyc got the claddagh one. they come personlized with your names and the date of the marriage as well as coordinating tapers. we are both very happy with our purchase. I love mine and will have it forever!

Yes, you have to check them out!!! I got the white pillar candles and matching two tapers...they have a claddagh on them with our names and date. I also bought a shamrock holder.

Celtic Candle Website

Just noticed that your wedding is less then two weeks away.....the candle took about a month for me to get it. Maybe they can do a rush order for you but it may be cutting it close.

Re: ---- Official Irish Bride Thread ----

Yeah, I do like the ones they have on Celtic Candle and I saw another one online that I loved but I am out of time so I think I'll be hitting the Irish stores and hoping for the best.

Where did all the months and weeks I thought I had go!!!! Thanks again ladies.
