Bray Seafront, the Irish Sea, Co. Wicklow

Today I dipped my fingers in the Irish sea! Sadly, too cold for the toes to make an appearance! Bray's head looms in the distance with the cross topper looking down, over the seafront town. Beach walk reminds me of a mini–Cape May. 

Besides beach walk, today's activities introduced two new items into my repertoire - I Tried it and Liked It! Tequila mockingbirds and Baby Guinness! Yum!!

Angie & Gian's Wedding - Part 2
By Patricia Patrick May 8, 2025
On April 30th, Angie and Gian , a shipboard sweet couple that meet during the dry dock delays in Belfast , seven months ago, got married with just 28 close family and friends, at sunset in the Observatory Lounge. They then did another " Tying the knot ceremony" for the entire ship on May 1st on the pool deck, officiated by Captain Val . After each service was a special dinner one in the Thistle Dining room and the other at the Outdoor deck of Palms Restaurant. The above video done by VVR Marketing shows the highlights. I ended up being the Wedding Resident Coordinator for the couple and I have a ton of the behind the scene photos of how it all came about. It was a lot of work, but I got to interact with so many great people and really enjoyed the challenge, logistics and organization of the whole thing! It brought so many residents together, in a common bond, it was really something special to have played such a major role.
