In a joyous ceremony that took place at St Mary's Cathedral, the union of Thomas Hogan from Gaulstown, and Ciara Griffin from Kilkenny, was celebrated with love, laughter, and cherished moments.

The Mass was officiated by Fr Patrick Carey. The chief bridesmaid, Aisling Moroney, played a crucial role in the ceremony, assisted by Moira Dermody and Lorraine Fitzgerald.

On the groom's side, Patrick Griffin stood as the best man, supported by Edward Connery and Mark Gunner.

The adorable flower girl, Maisie Griffin, and the usher, James Griffin, added a delightful charm to the proceedings.

Following the heartfelt ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests gathered at Mountain View in Ballyhale for a splendid wedding reception. The picturesque surroundings and warm atmosphere ensured that all in attendance had a fantastic day celebrating the union of Thomas and Ciara.
