We're so excited!

Hello! We wanted to put a post on here about final information for the wedding as we finalize everything. This will all also be emailed to those who provided their email with their rsvps. Please make sure your rsvp indicates if you have a dietary need!!! We will be providing transportstion to/from the venue to/from the two hotels we have wedding blocks in. There will be two busses at scheduled times. If you want to take a bus please make sure you dont miss it! The times will be added here and to the travel page when we have them. If traveling on your own or by lyft/uber PLEASE arrive before 4:45pm. If you come early you can explore a bit of the castle and climb the courtyard tower. Water and lemonade will be available upon arrival! The ceremony will be moved into the courtyard tent if there is rain. If you are attending the post wedding picnic: there is limited seating and it is outdoors. Please bring a picnic blanket if youd like to sit on something other than the grass. Bench seating will be prioritized for anyone with medical needs to sit. The picnic is located a quick walk from the park street station stop (green line) or downtown crossing stop (orange line) in the boston commons at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument which can be entered into google maps for public transit/walking/driving directions! There is a paid underground parking garage located at the boston commons called Boston Common Garage. If it rains more than a light misting we will cancel the picnic. We will, however, still have food. So if youd like to say goodbye and get a free lunch stop by our apartment at 5 island hill ave in Malden! Call 401-580-0700 to be let in. We dont have room to host many people inside so please prepare for a very quick hug and very quick goodbye while you grab a sandwich or salad if this alternative has to be taken.

We are asking anyone who is able to get vaccinated before this date- please be vaccinated and have your vaccination card just in case. Please email proof of vaccination to amandaciarandowneywedding@gmail.com! We will delete these pictures immediately after we check your name off that you are vaccinated. We are happy to share our proof of vaccination as well if you ask. We are asking this of every guest regardless of if we already know you are vaccinated and are happy to return the favor if youd like to see our vaccination cards as well. If you do not wish to share proof, then that is okay. We still love you, just request that you sit this event out as an attempt to ensure the safety of all guests in attendance. If for some reason you cant be vaccinated but still want to come, we are hopeful people will receive a negative covid test within three days before the new date and not attend if their test is positive. Please let us know if this is your plan so we can reserve your seat! Please bring your negative test record with you. If we have not received proof of vaccination or notification of your plan to get a negative test instead by the july 15 deadline, we will reach out once to remind you to send it along, but will not be able to reserve your seat if you do not wish to share either of these things. Again, this is due to an abundance of caution and to reassure people who are strangers coming together that we have done our due diligence. If I could skip this step, believe me I would! Its definitely a hassle, but we feel its necessary to ensure the event is safe.

We're so excited to spend the day with all of you and wanted to share a quick story of how we met and how Ciaran proposed in case anyone wants to read it! Ciaran and Amanda met through one of Ciaran's co-workers. Amanda had moved to Boston to attend her masters program in Mental Health Counseling and Expressive Therapies, and only had one friend who already lived there. This was Dan, one of Amanda's bridespeople! Amanda harrassed him pretty consistently to hang out with her, and on one of these times Amanda met Ciaran and they became close friends. At the time, Ciaran and Dan worked together at vistaprint. Amanda and Ciaran remained friends for several years. Amanda was oblivious to the fact that the entire time, Ciaran had a crush on her! Two years into their friendship, shortly after Ciaran's birthday where they had watched all of the Jurassic Park movies together, Ciaran finally asked Amanda on a date. Three years of dating later Ciaran took Amanda to Boston Commons to go ice skating and instead, asked her to marry him. A little over a year later, (and with Amanda back in school yet again for a doctorate and Ciaran now working to save the world with one less distracted driver at a time) here we are, ready to make it happen! We are so excited to have you join us on our special day!
