Dunbrody House, Co. Wexford

Jet & Mikey

Juliet and Michael are known to to their family and friends as Jet & Mikey were childhood sweethearts and to the whole happy crowd in Dunbrody, they were Jet and Mikey.
That's also who they are to myself and Annie after a glorious September afternoon in Dunbrody House that was the opposite of unnecessary formality in every great way. This was a day for an outdoor ceremony (in homely but beautiful Dunbrody House) filled with the sounds of laughter from the anecdotes of old friends to a soundtrack of the piano played by a talented college roommate. It was a day for wildflowers that looked like they'd just been picked from a secret garden, for forest doors that looked like they to led to said secret garden but then you find a hidden pub instead. Michelin quality food was served up without fanfare to the gang as they drank on the grass together like old festival times. Kevin Dundon wasn't even the only chef indulging his love for food that weekend. For those late night munchies Mikey's brother Richie stayed up all night making 10 loaves of sourdough to compliment the cheese he knew they had.

We were so distracted by the food and festival vibe, it's lucky we didn't forget to take photos. Thankfully the glorious sunlight, bouncing around spotlighting everything, kept bringing us back to that "ooh look at that" urge to photograph. Some days make you wish that all of your friends would replicate them so you could be a guest at a day like this over and over again.

Thanks for having myself and Annie along.
