Come Rain or Shine...
Evonne Bruton & Jonathon Holland tie the knot.
Dress from White Orchid.
Photos from Roslyn Byrne, Couple.ie"It was the worst gale blowing Ireland has had in years and we were having a wedding ceremony in a marquee!"
It was the worst wind and rain Ireland has known in 91 years, but Evonne Bruton and Jonathan Holland decided they were not going to let the elements ruin their big day. Proving that no matter what the weather brings, with the love of your life by your side and an easy going attitude, it is always possible to have the wedding of your dreams.
"Friends had to stop their car on the way to the wedding to move a tree off the road, and there wasn't a hope of our helicopter making it! We kept thinking the weather would get better but it only got worse as the day wore on," Evonne remembers.
Their relationship has always had a good amount of excitement; the couple met through a good mutual friend who thought they would make a great couple. After much persuasion, Evonne allowed her number to be given to Jonathan and after even more persuasion, Jonathan called her.
"From the first conversation as I sat in Pearse Street Station, trying to have a conversation over the moving trains, we got on well. Our first meeting was in Caf� en Seine on Wednesday, 26th January 2005, the huge wave of emotion that we felt as we met for the first time was incredible. We both knew that this was something very real and very big." Evonne says.

Our Favourite seating cards
These seating cards are all so jolly and fun and , perhaps more importantly, are great for those who don't want to spend too much on the little things. Deligation is the key to good wedding planning so get some of your family/friends involved too!!!
Lilac Wedding (l). These double as a little inexpensive wedding favour. Wrap in a little green bow and attached two strips of card -one with the name, one with the table number. Little seats are so darling (r). Probably the cutest thing we found this week, these seats are a perfect way to show your guests to theirs. Made with a little pice of card, the names are on the back of the chair, the table numbers on the bums. Sweetness.
Briefcases and bags. (l) Corkage. (r) Use old corks (or new ones if you've enough!) to place your seating cards. Cut the bottom so they stand upright. Chic.
Handwritten. (l) Get some of your freinds to write the place settings. The more unusual the writing the better. Just make sure they all use the same pen colour to give it continuity! Peg Pinching.(r) If you're having an outdoor blessing before your dinner, why not display your place settings with strings and pegs. You can use domestice pegs or try the WeddingsOnline.ie shop for other colours. -

Today while drinking my 3rd mug of Lemsip...
I came across lots of blogs for preparation inspiration. I found this invitation;
Photo Invite on blisstree.com that reminded me of a certain college romance. To quickly suppress the painful ebbing memories I knew would follow the cute, transient passport-photo part of the relationship I went a'searching for the most kitsch weddings invites on the 'net. Here's what popped up;

My new BFF
Dirty Diana
I bought a Diana+ camera about a year ago with the full intention of becoming a succesful art house photographer. After reading the manual and procrastinating more than one should have the ability to however I confined it to the top of my wardrobe praying never to gaze upon its retro plastic body again.
This weekend, while cleaning out my room in a desperate attempt to get my life together, I came upon my Diana+, lying on her side, like an old forgotten TV starlett from a 60s drama series, the sunken sidekick who never got the break she deserved.
Long story short, I bought her some 120 film, took her out to the countryside and started snapping.
Today I'm going to Gunns on Wexford street to get her developed. Wish me luck and stay tuned.

Southern Charm
Even though I am American, the southern states are completely foreign to me. I am from the west, where anything over 75 years old is considered ancient. The South has always interested me. I like the culture and comforting vibe it has and even though I have spent little time there it seems like a beautiful place(and the accents can be adorable!) I found this South Carolina wedding on Classic Bride and think it personifies a lot of what is so appealing about the South. It's beautiful!

Cobalt Blue
I love cobalt blue and this table setting is a good example of why. It is so crisp, clean and sophisticated. This shoot photographed by the wonderful Marie Labbancz would be perfect for a summer garden wedding.

Wollie�s Dating Disasters
We love heading into the WeddingsOnline Forums for a look at the latest goings-on in our Wollie’s lives. It’s a great place to share wedding ideas and the girls there offer great advice on every topic imaginable - and we mean everything!
So you can imagine our delight when we logged on to a whole host of hilarious disaster dating stories. After a lot of rolling around the office in hysterics and wiping mascara stained cheeks of joy, we decided to put up a select few for you to enjoy, but it’s definitely worth logging on to see the rest!
WOL Scenario 1:
I once had a guy pick me up after work so we could go for dinner. I was looking forward to it, so you can image my surprise when he pulled into the Tesco car park and we went inside to pick up Tesco's Finest Chinese for dinner.
He then took me back to his house. He had failed to mention that he still lived with his parents, who ended up sharing the Chinese with us!
WOL Scenario 2:
I went out with an accountant once who was the meanest, most penny-pinching tight man you could ever meet. In the six months we were together he brought me out once, for Valentines Day, for takeaway pizza, which we ate in the street, so we could save the extra euro to "eat in".
This could have been romantic, lovely even, if it wasn't snowing and freezing and if I hadn't been listening to him b*tch about the cost of restaurants. Oh and also, if he hadn't been building me up all week with talk of a "special romantic night out"..jpg)
WOL Scenario 3:A friend of mine was out for dinner with a fella, who told her that he was a bit broke so if she wouldn't mind ordering something "cheap" off the menu.
She ordered an omelette. He ordered a steak!
WOL Scenario 4:
I went on a couple of dates with a guy around Christmas time. On our third date he produced a beautifully wrapped present. I was getting a bit freaked out because it was way too early to be getting presents. Anyway, I opened it and it was a new mobile phone. There was nothing wrong with my mobile and I knew I was due an upgrade soon.
So I said: “Thanks very much. I hope it wasn't too expensive.”
He replied: "It was free actually. I used your upgrade to get it".
I nearly fell off my chair. He had gone into the shop and signed me up for another year's contract, which I would have to pay! I had to spend the evening on the phone trying to cancel everything. Needless to say he was binned after that.
For more of these, have a look at the WeddingsOnline Forums. -
Ice Cream Wedding Palette
Well, it's officially the first week of summer and although some may think it naive and probably a little foolish, but I'm holding out hope for it to be the hottest summer on record! (You have to think like this when 90% of your friends have left the country, see?) Anyway, I'm ignoring the goose bumps on my forearms, and all the girls I saw in winter coats on their way to work this morning, and injecting a bit of sun into today's blog. And what does sun mean? Ice cream! This ice cream inspired wedding palette is a cute and whimsical muse for a high summer wedding. An old school ice cream van, vintage-style tea length dress, bowties and a whole heap of stripy goodness; what’s not to feel happy about?
