Hiya Everyone! I know it seems a little soon after the last post, with the long update with the itinerary, but this one is around transport.
Basically we need to know what you need, so that no-one gets stranded, lost etc.
Friday 21st of May: First of all, big shout out to my sis, this will be her 19th birthday.
Transport will be departing Friday morning at 11-12. We are planning on picking people up at Blooms Hotel from downtown Dublin. We are then going to pick up the men, after their 'quiet' Thurs night drinks, fresh from their trip to Amsterdam . They will be staying depending on numbers, at Bewleys Hotel.
These will be the 2 pickup points on the Friday 21st for Transport to the castle.
For anyone arriving at the airport on Friday, and still needs transport to the castle, please get a cab to Bewleys Hotel or see if you can ride the hotel shuttle (around 10 euro for the cab ride, the shuttle might be free :)
Our bus will leave Bewleys Hotel on Friday 21st at 12:30pm for the castle. This is in plenty of time for any flights from the US arriving that day. Let me know asap if you will be landing later than this, and require transport, we might be able to do a later pickup.
WE NEED an RSVP for this transport, because we dont know how big the bus needs to be, ranging from a large van, to a full bus, we just don't know, so please let us know.
PADDYWAGON is picking up those who are going on this tour on Monday Morning. If you need or were counting on transport on Sunday for those not accompanying us, or need to get back to the airport, we need to know this too.
SO EVERYONE who will be travelling on either Friday to the Castle, or need transport on SUNDAY please RSVP HERE or on Facebook publicly or privately. We need to know this at the latest, by April the 18th. Anyone who has not let us know by then we cannot guarantee space to. Thanks for reading.
Gur a mile maith agat! (a thousand thanks!)
Sarah and Jason

March - Wedding Planning and Advice
So we are making progress, doggedly, determinedly, a little dazedly, but still, getting there.
I made a list because I was worried the details were all falling out of my brain like a seive, I went through all the wedding planning 'Do's and Dont's' and what I should have done by now. Did you know, that the advice for when you plan your honeymoon is to book it is at least 9 months out?
I'm not freaking out (apart from freaky wedding dreams) because I have done 14 things in 14 days, and have addressed all the major areas, like dresses, bands, priest, menu's.
Gift Registry - We are registered for our honeymoon mostly because we are travelling to get married, and because we can't bring home toasters and plates from Ireland. I am building a list of interesting things people can get for us on our honeymoon, dinner in Athens, spending money in the market at the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, that kind of thing. We think that makes it a little more personal than just money in a card, we want our guests to know what memories they are helping us make with their gift.
Bachelorette's/Hen's- I have narrowed it down, but not enough, there were 46 women after I halved the list and made it just people I wanted there, it's just a lot of people. hmm, what to do? It is on Thursday May 20th, Temple Bar, Mardi Gras Theme, with games early on, and debauchery late.
Band - We have booked Santoria and they are great, 3 female singers, 2 male and a sax player, along with a full band and lights. It's going to be amazing, 7000w speakers and PA system. DONE :p
Dresses - Bridesmaids Dresses are bought, and ordered. They will arrive early april at the latest, and my dressmaker is going to sew on some finishing touches before they get sent out the last week of April, so bridesmaids, be ready first week of May to try them on and possibly get them altered, for height size etc.
Menu - We have mostly decided on our menu, 5 courses, with appetizer, soup, main, dessert, and tea/coffee + chocolate mints. Still have to decide what color chocolate fountain though...
Rings - We have bought our rings, this is his and this is mine.
So yeah, lots of progress, and this month, embroidery, cake, ceremony, music, final invitations.
