SCENIC Sneem formed the perfect backdrop to the nuptials of Dinah McCarthy and Liam O’Brien.

Killarney native Dinah wed Liam, who is from Birmingham, in a ceremony in Parknasilla Hotel and Spa led by registrar Mary O’Shea.

Special guests on the big day included the bride’s son Dimitris McCarthy, her parents Helen and Christy McCarthy, and the groom’s mother and stepfather Ann and Malcolm Crump.

The couple, who met three years ago, got engaged last year.

The witnesses at the wedding ceremony were the bride’s brother Adrian McCarthy and Michelle O’Halloran, the groom’s sister. The couple paid tribute to Marie McDonnell and the team Parknasilla as well as their photographer Sally MacMonagle. “Her informal relaxed approach worked a treat, especially when taking pictures of the children. She did a fantastic job!” said Liam.

“It was wonderful to share the day with our special friends and family that travelled from as far as Devon in the UK to share this wonderful occasion with us.”
The couple enjoyed a “pre-honeymoon” in Borneo. “We stayed on a boathouse and travelled though the national park to search for orangutans, then went onto other areas in Indonesia, including Bali and the Gili Islands, and finished in Lombok,” said the groom.

Dinah is a speech and language therapist and Liam is a teacher. They are currently living in Milton Keynes.

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.

The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.

“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.

“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are: 

“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?

“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?

“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?

For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
