This is an unusual title for a blog about the morning of my daughter's wedding. However I was gobsmacked by the love and support my daughter Frances and we as a family got from her friends in the lead up to the big occasion.
It was one of my mother's favourite quotes and God knows growing up, myself and my siblings heard it often enough. "Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are". It comes from the Bible, Proverbs 13:20 "He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will suffer harm". Most of us have enjoyed the company of a bad influence at some stage in our lives but this is a tribute to the good influences.
There was the friend who arrived with boxes of home made cakes a few days before, lovingly baked just for us as we would be inundated with visitors. Little did she know that I ate most of them but it's the thought that counts. I still fitted into my dress, no thanks to Áine.
There were the lads who arranged the music for the wedding, Alan and George who roped in two other hunks to form a Bachelor quartet. Thanks a million guys. I was really holding things together until yee started singing. They had us all in tears with the entrance song, Glen Hansard's 'Falling Slowly".
Then there's Rosie who doubles up as a cousin who did our make up and made us all beautiful for the photographs and Lilly her sister (check her out http://lillyhiggins.ie ) who made the cake.
I could go on and on but the point is we all benefited greatly from the love and support showered on Frances from all her friends, siblings and relations. We were inundated with flowers, it was like daffodil day without having to contribute to the charity.
These photos are of wedding morning moments, captured by myself and my daughter Marie. The morning went by in such a blur that it's great to have the photographs to relive it all.
All photos were taken with Canon 70D Camera and my new toy - Canon Lens 17-55 2.8mm
