iReland


1. The church where our union will kick off  | 2. heaven | 3. baby boy| 4. People gathered to watch a wedding


brothers

I gathered two bits of information from this weekend..

1. Getting married in Stephens hometown means the whole town will come to stand outside the church (the uninvited ones) to watch the arrival of the bridal party and bride; and they love nothing more than to exchange opinions on what everyone looks like. 
 No pressure or anything. 
Lucky for me Stephen is a hometown celeb and is marrying an american...
 His family seemed to be excited about how many people should be expected to come for the show..
gulp.

2. Mommy dog boobies get really big..
I am now officially scared to breastfeed after watching the puppies pull and tug on their mommy's nipples all day every day. 
Her giant nips gave me the chills on the inside.

  1. Is that the church where you will be getting married? It's beautiful, all your pictures are. Ireland looks like such a beautiful place. And I would feel awkward too, having all those people come and discuss how I look, Ha!

  2. Hi Megan,
    I've recently found your blog and it's SO refreshing to follow your story as an American living in the UK. I'm from Vermont but have been living in Liverpool for the past 4 years. My husband is a born and bread Englishman. We were married last July in Southport, England and I seriously laughed out loud at your comments on the wedding, church and little Irish community. One of my best friends is from County Armagh in Ireland and it reminds me so much of your description of the future hubs home. Hahaaa! I love the Irish!

    Can't wait to follow along on the rest of your journey! Are you planning on staying in the UK or moving back to the states at some point? :)

    Take care, petal!

  3. it'll be like your william and kate! paparazzi!

    those puppies are ADORABLE! i totally agree, breastfeeding seems like it could be traumatic. PTSD? prob. (also; i'm just a wuss..good thing i don't have kids yet)

  12. giant nipples freak me out! in one of my pregnancy books there is a photo of a woman and she has the biggest nipples {apparently they get bigger when you're pregnant}, they were so big i didn't notice anything else on the page--what happens if that becomes me? touch wood it doesn't.

  16. yeah for marrying a hometown celeb. people will be afraid of even attending. :) LOL
    and hehe, let's not talk about nipples here, okay? otherwise i have to laugh. a lot.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Your honesty is amazing. That is also why I'm afraid to ever breastfeed. Woof.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Only you would talk about getting married with the town watching and giant painful nipples. Or something like that lol
    I'm also scared of breast feeding. My mom didn't breast feed me and I turned out ok. I think. ;-) have a great weekend!

  19. The church looks gorgeous! You guys will be the small town version of Will and Kate! ha. :)

  20. It must be puppy post day. They're all over blogland.

    I assume you won't be nursing 5 or 6 babies at once, so I'm sure your nips will be fine.

  21. Love the pictures! The puppies are so cute.

  22. "Her giant nips gave me the chills on the inside." LOL- I know what you mean on this. But I'm seriously cracking up over here!

    Those puppies are adorable though- and no stress for the wedding! You know you've got the man of your dreams and you'll look so beautiful- you've got nothing to worry about!

    :)
    Happy Friday!

  25. Such a beautiful location to have a wedding, and how sweet is it that the entire town cares enough to come out and support you guys on your big day? It sounds awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I'm actually breast feeding while reading this. You are right, it's gross and scary and hurts like a bitch! But worth it cuz that's what you do for your babies :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. I love that the uninvited just come anyway to take a peek! That's awesome!!!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I love that! What a way to make a bride and groom feel special. So.....what is S famous for in his little hometown? Or does marrying an American ex-model provide his creds for fame? :)

  33. You WOULD have paparazzi at your nuptials. You would.

    And breast feeding terrifies me. I'll just go ahead and say THAT'S the reason why I'm not having babies right now. (its not. But it could be.) Breast feeding:scary both during and after. Do you think those dog nips are just going to magically shrink back to a normal size? Oh no.

    This is the reason for the 40,000 mile tune-up. I've already told Nick that one will be necessary. Just a titch of plastic surgery....to tighten everything up once you're done pulverizing your body with the having of the babies.

    I have such positive thoughts on pregnancy...

  34. puppies are just the cutest thing ever! i have a jack russell that we got when she was little but not that puppy little. And now I have a yearning for doggie no.2 and I want a puppie!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  36. You are too funny! How exciting that you got to see what it may look like the day of your wedding.
