Emma and Damo's Wedding

Emma and Damo's Wedding.

Sure the craic was great; - with loads to ate, and Guinness flowing free.

In Navan town, the 'Newgrange' was the only place to be.

Like a choir of croaky angels, we sang the whole night through,

I think the Murphy Wedding was their biggest ever 'do'.

'Damo' looked just like a prince, - in his wedding suit and tie.

And Emma, looking like a faery princess, made me want to cry.

The parents of the groom and bride looked smashing as they beamed with pride,

The Bridesmaids, Jennifer and Louise, looked stunning, by their side.

The flower girls looked so pretty, and the page boy looked so smart, -

They enchanted all the wedding guests and captured every heart.

Before the happy couple made their vows, the rings were blessed by one and all,

And when they lit the candles, - you could hear a feather fall.

It was a day that will not be forgotten for a hundred years or more,

and a memory I'll treasure, of my own green emerald shore.
