Wedding was "emotional and special day"

WEDDING

Families joined together for the first time since the pandemic began to celebrate the very special union of Sean McDermott Foley and Patrick Tangney.

It was an emotional day for Sean and Patrick, as they tied the knot on Thursday, November 11.

Sean is son of Nicola and Anthony Foley from Keel, Castlemaine and Patrick from Listry Cross, is son of Veronique Tangney and Brendan Tangney (RIP).

They were married at Killarney Registry Office, with reception afterwards at The International Hotel, Killarney.

Best Girls were Finnolla Halpin and Bridgid O’Neill. Patrick and Finnolla have been best friends for over 30 years since they were in Junior Infants together.

Bridesmaid was Patrick’s sister, Nicole Tangney.

Sean is eCommerce Manager at The Gleneagle Group and Patrick is a self-employed website developer. Both now live in Tralee.

Christmas is a magical time for them as it was around this time six years ago that they met.
The couple got engaged in August 2018 at the Killarney Races. Then it was time to start planning the wedding.

“We had the most incredible day surrounded by our closest family and friends,” Sean told the Killarney Advertiser.

“Our reception was perfect with 70 guests. Caitriona, Les and all of the team at The International Hotel were incredible and no details were missed. We fell in love with the International Hotel and its historical charm, a truly beautiful venue. We were very lucky that we had minimal restrictions and our guests danced the night away with The Busker Band and DJ,” he added.

“It was the first time our families had all been together since pre-COVID times so it was a very emotional and special day for us all.”

The day was wet and windy so photographs, taken by Marek Hajdasz of MH Weddings, were done in Reidys and The International Hotel, he added.
