Early start...late finish.

Up at 4 am to catch a flight across the North Sea to Belfast before a mad cross border dash trying to follow the sparse directions emailed by the groom during the week.

Made it to the church on time though and thus was able to see long term pal Graham finally marry Joanne in a wedding that has been three years in the planning!

It was the venue that caused the biggest delay with Cabra castle being booked by the happy couple just about three years ago. It was a spectacular place though and the Guinness was flowing well into the wee small hours and the Bride and groom were still going strong when I eventually made my excuses at about 2 am.

This shot was taken just as the wedding party was about to leave the church after the ceremony and every time I look at it I get the impression that the Groom has suddenly realised he'd now married and is looking to his parents for Help!
