Hi all,

We are older and bolder. Together 23 years now, we never married, didn't want to, or ever felt the need.

OH has recently mentioned awful PRACTICAL things like inheritance tax and the like. So he thinks we should get hitched at some point! Lovely proposal indeed, ah well, at our age it doesn't matter, but we were in a lovely restaurant when th subject came up!

Anyhow, I've be thinking about it, and definitely only immediate family. No friends, kids, dogs or cats! Small church or maybe Unitarian, not sure, but not a Civil ceremony. Want some spirituality in there. 40 guests. Wd like nice venue in Dublin. Have a few bob at this stage of our lives, so we can push the boat out.

Guests will be mature too, so was wondering if anyone out there got married later in life for the first time?

What did you do, restaurant, hotel, entertainment? Bearing in mind the mature guests please! Many have hips and knees done at this stage!

Thanks.

My mother got married in her 50s and her husband was in his 60s a few years ago.
They had a small wedding of about 50 people and the ceremony in The Station House,Kilmessan and had a Philipeno band play for a few hours.
Everyone was up dancing:-)
The hotel were brilliant at facilitating their needs.
