Botanic House Wedding 

Mairead & ollie

Thank god for technology.

Mairead and Ollie were originally to be married in Thailand. Not because they wanted anything grand or ostentatious, not because they were drawn to the luxuriousness of having a destination wedding - but solely so two of Mairead’s closest, oldest friends could be present - a mother and daughter whom she spent much of her formative years with. These are clearly two people to whom people, and history and relationships, mean everything.

However, last year happened and after some hoping and wishing they forged ahead and managed to pull off a stupidly meaningful and cracking affair on home ground. Thankfully there are still ways of making people’s presence felt, even if they can’t be physically there.

And so they traded the white sand beaches of Thailand for a small church that held some meaning for them and a celebration at Botanic House in the Botanic Gardens - it was in no way lesser.

To technology, to heartfelt and hilarious video tributes, to those that can’t be there but do everything to make themselves felt and bear witness nonetheless.

Enjoy
