Ballymahon girl, Emma Duignan, became Mrs Mark Shanahan on July 31st 2010. The 28 year old daughter of John and Mary Duignan had an extraordinary wedding, to say the least. Everything, from the venue, to the music, was different. The intimate ceremony took place, not in a church, but in the Bog Lane Theatre. The 20 minute ceremony was said to be a very beautiful, emotional event, with a candle-lit alter, and tracks such as Van Morrison, and other favourites of the young couple, playing in the background.
That's not all! After the ceremony, the groom drove his new bride to the reception in an old Morris 8, complete with bows, and even a trail of tin cans! The marquee reception took place in the garden of the Duignan family home, where a variety of live entertainment took place, including bands in which the groom, and the younger brother of the bride played.
It was an enjoyable night for all of the guests – especially those who partied all night, camped in the garden, and woke up ready to party all night again! The second night, which was complete with pig on a spit, proved to be just as enjoyable as the first! The couple have returned from their honeymoon in Spain and are settling into their married life. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Shanahan!
