Special wishes to two couples who wed recently in Kilkenny!

KILMANAGH: The marriage of Sarah Hennessy and Joseph Byrne was celebrated in St Brigid’s Church, Ballycallan.

Sarah’s sister Laura was maid of honour and her bridesmaids were Amy Dermody, Ann Hoyne and Dearbhla Cullen. Yvonne Greene was junior bridesmaid.

Joseph’s brother Rory was best man and his groomsmen were Daniel O’Donovan, Martin Donoghue and Fintan Cawley.

The flower girls (Grace Byrne, Rose Dermody, Mia Dermody and Edity Byrne) looked resplendent in their beautiful outfits.

Sadie Hennessy, mother of the bride, and Josephine Byrne, aunt of the groom, presented the offertory gifts of bread and wine at the altar.

A beautiful communion reflection, The Bridge across Forever, was read by Julie Hanlon. Ross Kearly provided appropriate music throughout the mass and ceremony.

JOHNSTOWN: Congrats to Denise Manton, daughter of Sandra Grace and Mick Manton, and Shane Neary, son of Margaret McCarthy and the late Joe Neary, who were married recently.

They are wished a long and happy life together.
