Sally and Beth host inSPIREd Sunday!

Dublin Ireland

September 24 would have been my parents' 64th wedding anniversary. This is the church they were married in.


Our Lady of Good Counsel Mourne Road Drimnagh Dublin. I think I took this in 2007 on a visit to my aunt who lived across the street.


My parents and my mother's two sisters were married from this church. Also my father's sister and some of my cousins.




Here is a picture of the altar taken at my parents' wedding. I need to repair the folds in this photo!!!


Here they are leaving the church.

This week Sepia Saturday is paying tribute to the human face. It can be young or old, male or female, happy or sad : it can be any shape or colour you choose. My selected picture comes from the collection at George Eastman House which is featured on Flickr Commons. It is listed simple as "Woman's Face" and dates from somewhere around 1915. 


My mom on her wedding day with her two sisters, September 1951 in Drimnagh Dublin, Ireland. I love how they have their arms linked. They are holding their prayer books.

This is the church Our Lady of Good Counsel on Mourne Rd. Photo was taken years later.
Both my parents grew up on Mourne Rd and my father's house was (is) across the street from the school. My Dad's sister still lives in that house.

In 2005, Colin Farrell spoke at his grandfather's funeral which took place from this church.
