Welcome to Ireland! For whoever wishes to join, this will be a 90-minute cruise on Lough Corrib with drinks and light food. It's a chance to say hello and get to know some other guests. The boat will depart at 2:10pm, so please arrive no later than 2:00pm (and ideally sooner for certain chronically tardy friends and family members).
8:30 pm - 11:30 pm
Casual dress
Galway's Latin Quarter features bustling pedestrian streets full of people, pubs, and music. We'll gather at John Keogh's to kick off the evening and plan to be there until about 10:00pm. While we have reserved space here, most other pubs will be crowded--summer in Ireland and all... It isn't feasible to travel as a group after the first stop, but everything is close together and it will be hard to miss folks for long. We'll have light food at John Keogh's, but recommend eating dinner ahead of time for something more substantial.
2:30 pm
Please let us know if you'd like to stay at Ashley Park House. Select "Will Attend" if you would like to stay there and "Will Not Attend" if you plan to stay elsewhere.
8:00 pm - 9:30 pm
Evening casual dress
After dinner on your own on Monday evening, we'll gather at The Pepper Mill in Nenagh for dessert and some bubbles. Later in the evening, you can bounce around some of the pubs in Nenagh or come back to the bar at Ashley Park House. We'll have shuttle service to and from Ashley Park House to spare you the added challenge of driving on the left after one or two G&Ts.
8:30 am - 10:30 am

For anyone staying at Ashley Park House, breakfast is included and served at your leisure. It's served in the pavilion attached to the main house. If you don't need much time to get ready for the ceremony later in the day, you should feel free to go explore the sites nearby.
3:45 pm - 11:45 pm
Summer chic / Black tie optional
The ceremony will run from approximately 3:45-4:15pm. Following the ceremony, we'll move to happy hour on the lawn until 5:45. This will be a lovely time for pictures around the property, playing lawn games, and mingling. Dinner runs from 6:00 until 8:30pm in the tent. The Irish love leisurely meals, and this one won't disappoint. After dinner and toasts, it's time to let loose and try your Irish dancing moves. If you make it until midnight, we break out the actual wedding cake and a buffet to help you recharge for after hours, which we've been warned often go far too late for anyone hoping to have a productive next day. Summer in Ireland isn't hot by East Coast standards. The high is around 70 degrees F and it can dip into the high 50s at night. With luck, it will be a sunny day, but we still recommend a light layer for evening. Also, while July is one of the driest months in Ireland, it's still Ireland, so a small umbrella is not a bad idea just in case.
