Time for a New Adventure

Huzzah!

A definite contender for log entry of the year, that one. I'm in tears reading that! What a beautiful way to get married, so personal and special. Congratulations to you both.

We had such a fantastic special day out gate crashing Neady's wedding. All credit for coordinating the ambush must go to Rachel who kept us all informed of the progress of the wedding party as we ascended the other side of the mountain. The mist and fog only added to the surreal occasion. Eventually we found ourselves hiding at the side of the chapel, whispering, until we got the nod from Fr. John to sneak inside. There were more than a few tears shed when we saw Neady make her entrance looking absolutely beautiful, a flower in winter, emerging from the mist. Rachel and Lorraine were stunning also and indeed Kieran scrubbed up well for a Mayo man.
The service we'll remember always. I must have been up there a hundred times but never had a day like that. What an adventure.

That was the most beautiful post I've ever read on Boards, S, and a perfect narrative to those gorgeous pictures. Shotgun is right - K is a lucky gent. You're one of the most positive people I've ever met and I (again) wish you both a very long & happy married life together.

Awh thank you so much, it was definitely a better option than our initial idea to elope to Italy

Cheers D, with all the good weather that we'd had, it never even entered my head that we might have to opt for plan B and get married at the bottom so I was so glad that everyone was up for the adventure despite the rain

Thanks N, Italy was the perfect spot after a great adventure in Ireland and I Kie has gotten the bug for trail running after his race in Italy

Thank you so much M, I'm not sure if it will be the last. Fr. Kenny and Dave, the photographer, were enjoying the whole thing so much they were whispering about going into business doing ceremonies on the Reek

Kie might be lucky but I'm the one that's blessed. He's taken up running and hiking and is a great motivator for me so it definitely goes both ways.

Them mountains and these logs make us all a super positive bunch

You have a way with words P, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Thank you C, positivity is infectious around these parts I'm one lucky lady ... imagine, it was Kies idea to get married on the Reek (though once he mentioned it, I ran with it) to many more adventures

career move

Oh my god I've so much catching up to do :eek: Sorry I've just been in my own little bubble! Congrats on your engagement and wedding and all the amazing runs you've been doing! What a super cool way to get married. I like your style

Also fair play to the priest!!!

hillsiderunner

Massive congratulations, Neady. What a brilliant way to do a wedding, nearly as impressive as the ultra-running performances.

You will both be very happy I think .

Congrats on everything, but especially the wedding. What a great way to tie the knot! Best of luck to ye!

Your log updates of your many great adventures are always worth waiting for but your wedding update surpasses them all, congratulations to you both Neady.

That was a great story and congrats on the wedding. If anybody else told me they got married in the middle of a hike, I'm not sure I'd believe them, but for you it makes perfect sense. Wishing you a long and happy life together.
