Seamie and Marie-Claire 's Wedding in Belfast, Co Antrim

Our Real Wedding

Our wedding took place at Segrave Barns, Co Louth, Ireland. Our humanist ceremony took place outside in the woodland. Seamie and I made our own wedding rings in Dublin, his was made using the gold from his late father's wedding ring. There was be a candle lit for him during the ceremony and throughout the day.We also had tattoos done to commemorate where eachothers from - oak leaves for Derry and an apple tree for Armagh.Following on that theme we set up a temporary tattoo station for the reception featuring our favourite things, sayings and our cat Yogi. As well as a few props for the dancefloor...Our friend Natalie made our cake - we've made our own toppers for it of our guinea pigs and Yogi again to get them involved as they obviously cant be there!Marie-Claire's auntie incorporated the Derry/Armagh theme into our placecards which she screenprinted by hand, and Marie-Claire's sister also painted the favours herself.Music is really important to us, and we used it as a theme - the invitations were designed to look like gig tickets, table names named after bands we've seen together, and a banner with lyrics from one of our favourite songs.On top of that - a singing chef made an appearance after the meal!
