Jennifer's Re-wedding

he
Second chances are necessary in life for friends and lovers. That is why I really appreciate Jennifer and Garry doing a second wedding celebration here in Ireland. It gave me an opportunity to be apart of their joy and excitement. I wanted to go to the first wedding in October 2011, but by the time I was looking for tickets, I was also moving into my new place, which caused me to bleed money. During this time, I was also feeling weird about going because the only person I really knew was Jennifer, and I thought I would be in the way.  I doubt that would have been the case, but like I said, I was feeling weird. My official thanks go out to Jennifer and Garry for their lovely celebration yesterday night at Stephen James Stephen hurling Club in Kilkenny. It was a lovely affair. I went over early to help Jennifer get into her dress. Then, after helping bring cakes to the club, I had to dive Garry back to the house because he had forgotten his wedding ring. HE had taken it off in the shower and just a few minutes before the ceremony started Jennifer realized it was gone. We ran back to the house. It was great to be able to spend the 10 minutes with Garry. I am happy that Jennifer found such a wonderful man. They had a renewal of their vows. Garry’s twin sisters Margaret and Ellen read the readings from the wedding. They lit a unity candle, and said ‘I do’ all over again. Then, there were sandwiches, sausages, and sweets. By the end of the night, when the crowd had thinned out a bit, we enjoyed dancing with the bride and groom. It was all a bit of good craic.
