Kerry’s hottest couple tie the knot in Tralee

Ciara Crossan — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 17:03:13 +0000

I wonder when Rita Talty from New Jersey entered the Rose of Tralee back in 2008 did she think she would meet the love of her life in the form of one of the judges! Whether it was her talent on stage or off, Daithi O’Sé certainly took a shine to the gorgeous Rita and in what must be one of the Rose of Tralee success stories, they announced their engagement this year.

Romantic to a fault, Daithi and Rita will have their wedding reception back in Tralee where they first met – in the hotel that hosts the famous festival, the Carlton Hotel Tralee on 12th July next year.

Daithi speaking about the venue said, “We picked the Carlton for a few reasons one of them being it was where we first met and after where our relationship blossomed, we feel a real connection with the place“. .
“We know the people there really well with their association with the Festival so we can trust them, they are pulling out all the stops for us” added the broadcaster, who already has “a few surprises” in store for guests.

Bert and Ernie to be Wed?

Shane — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 10:25:25 +0000

Despite a viral internet petition to have our Sesame Street Favorites Bert and Erine finally marry after 40 years of living together, the Seasme Street team have come out and put the notion to bed claiming that they cannot marry as they are only “Asexual Puppets”.

Here at WeddingDates we are devastated with this news, but if these two Muppets decide to break the mould they could travel overseas and get hitched here in Ireland at one of our many Gay Friendly Wedding Venues!

Kate Middleton’s Engagement Ring

Ciara Crossan — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 17:12:53 +0000

The biggest news on the wedding scene broke yesterday, when Prince William announced his engagement to long time sweetheart Kate Middleton. But the question on everyone’s lips was – “what’s the ring like??!!”

The Sapphire sparkler was owned by Lady Diana and William said it was his way of “‘making sure my mother didn’t miss out on today and the excitement, and the fact that we’re going to spend the rest of our lives together.”

The ring is getting so much attention, there is even a Facebook Fan Page dedicated to it and early reports are saying that sales of similar rings have gone through the roof as women around the world try to replicate Kate’s ring!

The Garrard white-gold ring features a stunning 12-carat oval Ceylon sapphire in the centre, surrounded by a cluster of 14 diamonds. It cost £28,500 when it was first bought and was valued at £250,000 before Diana passed away in 1997. Obviously it’s worth alot more now!!

On the market for a ring yourself?! Make sure to check out our favourite Diamond Dealer in Ireland, Volatire Diamonds for your perfect Engagement Ring!

As you know, we are following with interest the Honeymoon Testers who are travelling the world, checking out the best honeymoon locations and reporting back on their experience. Along the way, they have decided they are also going to try to break the Guinness World Record of the most times to renew their wedding vows. While in Africa last week, they were honoured to be part of a traditional Masai Mara wedding ceremony.

You can catch up on Mark and Denise’s travel blog here >>

Follow the Honeymoon Testers around the globe!

Ciara Crossan — Mon, 31 May 2010 21:52:12 +0000

I did document the winners of the Ultimate Job in Ireland, Denise and Mark who are the official Honeymoon Testers of RunawayBrideandGroom and they have begun their journey and are faithfully documenting it all. What caught my eye today, was the fact that they are trying to break a Guinness World Record attempt by renewing their vows more than anyone else. The current world record stands at 83 times!! So, Denise and Mark will have their work cut out for them, but they got off to a great start in New York this week, renewing their vows 5 times!

Denise and Mark renew their vows all over New York:

If you want to live vicariously through this couple and possible get to see some spectacular honeymoon destinations along the way, you can follow their journey via their blog, facebook, twitter and of course watch all of their videos over on YouTube.

Naturally, I will be keeping a keen eye on their progress, and if there is anything that really jumps out at me, I will tweet it too ;)
