Anne's Wedding

Anne Murphy, my Irish godmother, graciously invited Casie and I to her wedding and thereby gave us a great excuse to visit Ireland again. We stayed in Galway for a couple days and then took a bus to Dublin and stayed there for a couple days as well. The weather was terrible as usual but, even though it was raining ridiculously hard during the beginning of Anne's wedding, it cleared up and turned into a great night (as you can see from the night picture looking out from the balcony of the boathouse where the wedding was).

One of the many highlights of the night was Tim's speech. I managed to get a great part of it on video and have uploaded it below. One of the other highlights was the band, which was great! Casie and I actually danced (I taught the Irish how to do the Rain-bird) which is saying quite a lot for the quality of the music and the alcohol.

Dublin was great as well. We took a tour of the castle, which used to be the seat of the English government but is now the seat of the Irish government (not without a little drama in between). We saw the University although we did not make it to see the book of Kells (yet another reason to go back). We also sat in a number of fine pubs and had a number of fine pints. When in Rome...

A big congratulations go to Anne and Tim. Hope to see you soon!
