The historic Abbey of Holycross, Thurles, Co.Tipperary was the scene for the recent wedding of a local Holycross couple.
Edel Shanahan, daughter of Peggy and the late John Joe Shanahan, Galbertstown, Holycross and Noel Ryan son of Teresa and Bill Ryan Cormackstown, Holycross, both publicly proclaimed their love for each other in front of a very large gathering of friends and family.
The ceremonies chief celebrant was Rev. Fr John Ryan, an uncle of the groom who was visiting Holycross, on leave from his parish in Malawi, southeast Africa.
Following the ceremony Edel and Noel entertained their guests with an afternoon garden party in the wonderful gardens of the Anner Hotel Thurles, Co Tipperary, followed later in the evening with a lavish six course banquet.
Music and dancing continued well into the early hours, before the happy couple took their leave, departing on honeymoon for a tour of America.
Friends and neighbours in Tipperary send their best wishes to you both for a happy and prosperous life together and thank you both, most sincerely, for a most wonderful day.
