Loretto and Michael's 25th Wedding Anniversary

The main reason for going back to Ireland was for R&R but it was nice that we could organize it such that we got to celebrate Loretto and Michael's 25th wedding anniversary as well.  They chose a quiet family celebration at the Grand Hotel in Tralee.
Loretto and Michael made a particularly handsome couple on the night.

As always, Rebecca was the belle of the ball.  Of course the irony of the night was that her date was the son of Michael's best man.

Our meals were fabulous, but all eyes were on the cakes which were only stunning.
Loretto's home made wedding cake and Rebecca's decadent chocolate cake.
