TRADITION
-
The character 囍 (shuāngxǐ), meaning “double joy,” is formed by pairing two 喜 characters. It’s traditionally used to convey shared happiness, especially in the context of weddings, where it represents a union filled with doubled good fortune.

Ballymagarvey Village in County Meath has an 800-year history rooted in the life of Gwenllian de Lacy, the last true princess of Wales. Through her marriage into the de Lacy family, she became connected to the estate and spent her later years there after surviving rebellion, imprisonment, and widowhood. The village’s medieval tower and church date from her era - the tower once containing escape tunnels, and the church showcasing notable Anglo-Norman stonework, including its Rose Window and chancel arch. Their website has more information.

The couple is that their wedding will celebrate both cultures! In addition to the marriage ceremony and party, Aidan and Tamara are also celebrating with a traditional Chinese tea ceremony with their families.
