Big day out for Muireann and Michael BY EVE KELLIHER
T
HE Spa GAA Club flag flew high in Ballybunion recently as newlyweds Dr Muireann Quane and Michael O’Donoghue emerged from St John’s Church in the town as newlyweds. Among over 300 guests wishing the bride and groom well on their big day were Michael’s club and teammates. Michael, from Gortdromakerrie, Muckross, popped the question to Muireann in Nice, France, in June 2015. Just over a year later, the couple exchanged vows in the bride’s hometown of Ballybunion. Fr Kieran O’Brien, Killarney parish administrator, led the wedding Mass. Fr Kieran had previously officiated at the wedding ceremonies of both Michael’s brother Hugh and sister Mary. “Fr Kieran was also the chaplain attached to Coláiste Ide while I attended,” said Muireann. Muireann, the daughter of Nóra and Pat Joe Quane, and Michael, the son of Margaret O’Donoghue and the late Hugh Anthony O'Donoghue, first met in their final year at University College Cork. Guests travelled from across Ireland as well as from Canada, Dubai and Australia for the wedding, with the reception taking place in the Listowel Arms Hotel. “The dance floor was busy all night thanks to the entertainment provided by Limerick-based band Acoutra and DJ Niall ‘Botty’ O'Callaghan,” said Muireann. Killarney photographer Padraig Healy captured the wedding on camera, including a photo-shoot on the Castle Green in Ballybunion, adjacent to the cliffs. Lucas Machowski and his team from LM Wedding Videography also committed the event to film. “They got some wonderful drone footage of Ballybunion on what was a beautiful day weather-wise,” added the bride. Muireann’s four sisters Seána, Ciara, Nonie and Niamh, were her bridesmaids while Michael’s brother John was best man with two friends and teammates from Spa GAA Club, Niall O’Mahony and Andrew Garnett, as groomsmen. Michael, a solicitor, works with Pat F O’Connor & Co in Killarney and Muireann is a doctor based in University Hospital Kerry in Tralee. The newlyweds honeymooned in Rome.
