The Daily PollPoll: Would you consider a 'no frills' wedding?*
A priest North Clare is offering low-key ceremonies free-of-charge in the hope of encouraging hard-pressed young couples to set a date.
A PARISH PRIEST in Clare is offering recession-busting weddings as a way of helping cash-strapped couples, according to this morning’s Irish Examiner.
The ceremonies include ‘community weddings’ whereby the bride and groom are married after mass on a Sunday, and ‘micro weddings’ which include just the couple and their witnesses.
Fr Conor Cunningham is offering both services free of charge.
