I couldn’t let this special day pass without marking it with a post for the family archive.
On this day 60 years ago my parents Noel & Kathleen O’ Sullivan (nee Randles) tied the knot in a little church in Kilgarvan, Co. Kerry, Ireland. Surrounded by family and friends in what legend hails as “A Mighty Day Altogether!”, the highest accolade any Irish wedding can receive. They have both since passed on, my Dad in 1988 at the age of 50 and my Mom in 2020 at the age of 80. They may be gone but never forgotten. We will meet again one day I believe and they are watching over us even now!
Happy 60th Wedding Anniversary to
Noel & Kathleen O’ Sullivan
