We are getting married on the west coast of Ireland, and we would love you there. Ballyvaughan, County Clare.
Our story
We met in a queue for a bad festival in 2015 and spent the whole weekend arguing about whether the band had been worth it. Amara still says no. Rui has never conceded.
There were eleven years in between, three cities, one very patient dog, and a proposal on a beach in February that neither of us had dressed for.
Clare is where we ended up, and where the people we love have always somehow ended up too. So it is where we will do this.
The day
2:30 pm
St Brigid’s, on the hill above the village. Please be seated by twenty past.
4:00 pm
Oysters, brown bread and something cold. Flat shoes are the wise choice on the gravel.
6:30 pm
One long table. You will find your name on a card at the door.
9:00 pm
A three-piece to start, then whatever happens after that.
Getting there
“The barn was a cow shed until 1998. We think that is the nicest thing about it.”

If you could let us know by the first of August, the caterers will think much better of us.
