We joined this day...forevermore...the partners we were always meant to be...with the partner we were always meant to be with!!! We chose, as our symbol of this bond, the traditional Celtic Claddagh. Our wedding bands are both Claddaghs, worn left-handed and heart pointing in. Click on the Claddagh above to get a wee history of this lovely ring's tradition, and the various symbolic intentions woven therein. For us it simply means...until we're rubbin' wings!!! (For the curious among you, Richard Joyce's initials are "RI" because "Joyce" in old Gaelic is "Ioyes"!)

      So journey along with us through the simple, yet momentous event that was our marriage!
