Wedding gifts
The best gift is for us to see you guys after such a challenging year, so please don't be going to the hassle and expense of any wedding gifts. If you won't sleep at night without giving us something then any donation towards our honeymoon fund would be appreciated but not expected at all, by going to this Honeymoon fund link.
Following day
For anyone that is still around the following day (Friday), there will be light finger food from 6pm in the same room as the wedding from the previous day. There will also be a bar in this area until 11pm.

If you have been vaccinated, please bring with you proof of vaccination, although you will not require it for the venue, you will likely need it if you want to go to other bars in Carlingford.
