Wedding Party
Aoife Murphy
Bride
Shane McCarthy
Groom
Alanna Kiely
Maid of Honor
Aoife and Alanna met in secondary school and bonded over their love of choir, beanie hats and really dark eye liner! Although they have lived in different parts of the world for a long time, their friendship continues to get stronger. Alanna is more like a sister to Aoife and she couldn’t picture anybody else standing beside her on the special day!
Iggy Curtin
Best Man
Iggy and Shane met in high school where they shared cooked chickens from Dunnes Stores at lunchtime. Iggy's humor is matched by his ability to talk himself out of trouble. They made it through school and college fueled by hot chocolate and baking from Iggy's mother, Rita. Iggy was voted "Most likely to be writing his speech during the starters".
Julie Cronin
Bridesmaid
Aoife and Julie have been friends for 14 years and met during the first week of school. They were constantly playing tricks on each other. Julie is always up for a good laugh and a good pint and Aoife can’t wait to see her standing on the alter as she walks down the aisle! #julzonbridesmaid
Steven Cronin
Groomsman
Steven is one of Shane's 50+ cousins. Born a few months apart, they spent their summers getting into trouble, what can now be fondly reminisced as "mischief" to most involed. Steven has been voted "Most likely to turn up in a burgundy suit".
Michelle Horan
Bridesmaid
Aoife and Michelle met in school and bonded over singing and their love for Westlife. The sweetest person you could ever meet and the best listener in town! Michelle is a true friend and is always there when you need her the most. You will find Michelle on the dancefloor with a pink gin in hand!
Swamy
Groomsman
Twice voted Washington, D.C.'s sexiest man, Swamy has worked with Shane for the past six years. Having worked with Shane previously in Boston, Swamy has been a big influence on Shane (the jury is still out on whether that influence has been more positive or negative). Although a native of India, he is looking forward to a wedding with the "lads". Swamy was voted "most likely to be doing shots at breakfast".
Samantha O' Shea
Bridesmaid
They started off as work colleagues until a series of events threw them both together! Aoife and Samantha can’t exactly remember when their friendship blossomed but Aoife is so glad to have Samantha in her life. A true confidant and mentor, Samantha has been there for Aoife both professionally and personally. Aoife is honored to have her as a bridesmaid.
Owen O' Doherty
Groomsman
As college classmates, Owen took the lead on all college projects, usually without asking. He inspried Shane with his work ethic and focus. Shane used to occassinally steal Owen's bike after a night out and cycle it home. Owen was voted "Most likely to start a debate on poltics or health care economics".
