So it begins

Let the wedding floodgates open.....my mind is full of everything wedding! From the moment I open my eyes in the morning till I fall asleep again at night (and sometimes even when i'm sleeping!).

I have visited a few venues over the past couple of weeks so lets start there.

A good number of years ago i went to wedding in Kilashee House in Naas, Co Kildare. It was perfectly nice and all you'd expect from a traditional wedding venue but was never a place I thought i would consider going for. However I didn't realise they also hold weddings in the Original House which caters for smaller weddings of up to 80 poeple. I have to say that despite it traditional style decor I really did like it. Here are some pics to give you a taste

But my number one place so far is the fabulous fabulous Bellinter House in Meath..oooohhh how excited would I be to be able to have it here. Feast on the pictures

Both places are available in November but of course (and especially these days) the real decision maker is the €€€€€€ so we will have to see!!

Buzz'z new friend

Just before christmas we got a new memeber of our little family called Lola. Lola is another chihuahua cross and as you can see from the pick Buzz is very happy with her new little sister!

News!

Well this was one of the best chrimbos i've ever had.....on christmas morning Greg asked me to marry him and of course i said yes!!! Very very exciting.. A couple of days later we went and picked out an enagement ring and eventually chose one in Paul Sheerans. I would highly recommend them, we dealt with one of the managers in there called Orla she was so so helpful.

I must confess that I can see this blog turning into an interiors/wedding planning blog over the next year as i will be eager for all your help in making decisions!. First up of course is the venue. I am not a fan of a lot of Irish hotels....stuffed dead foxes, mounted stags heads and acres of burgundy and mustard curtains and carpets just doesn't do it for me! I am on the hunt for something more contemporary not further than 45 mins from Dublin for a small wedding approx 60 people..all suggestions welcome!

Thank you Glen and Mar

Last night Greg and I went to see The Swell Season in Vicar St in Dublin. For those of you who havn't heard of it its the latest tour by Glen Hansaard, Marketa Irglova and The Frames following the success of the Oscar winning film 'Once'.

It was absolutely beautiful from beginning to end...wow..

You can listen to some of the songs on the website http://www.theswellseason.com/
