A few favourites, tucked in behind the invitation.
The ceremony at Monaleen Church at one o’clock, then on to the Woodlands in Adare for the rest of the day and night.
The order of the dayDay 2 is for everybody. The Treehouse at the Woodlands, Saturday 24 April, from four o’clock. Everyone is welcome. No dress code.
See Day 2September 2020, LYIT Donegal v the Eagles. Niall gave Orlaith a thumbs-up across the hall. He still calls it smooth.
Later that night, after a night out, the first proper chat happened in Shake Dog, the late-night takeaway. He had the chicken. She had the cheese and garlic chips. That was that.
She is Limerick, proudly. He is Derry, prouder still: the Walls, the Peace Bridge, the Guildhall. Two counties, one house, and basketball in it seven days a week. She plays for the Huskies; he coaches the Eagles. She teaches small people; he works in coach education for Basketball Ireland.
Orlaith lived in Dubai for two years and loved it. Niall flew out five times. Five.
Her favourite place in the world since childhood summers. So that is exactly where he asked. She said yes before the wind could carry the question off.
One thumbs-up, two counties, two years in Dubai, five flights and one date: 23.04.27.

Any question on the day, ask one of these eight.
Your good stuff: colour, style, whatever makes you feel great. Two asks only: nothing white unless you’re Orlaith, and no club jerseys. Either club.
Day 2 is for everybody. Really. The Treehouse from four o’clock, no dress code. Travelling guests especially: you’re not to sit in a hotel room.

Having you there is the present. If you’d like to do more, there will be a card box on the day, and that is the last we’ll say of it.
